Breastfeeding Part 15

[iristacey]

^sounds like cluster feeding ako i attended also the La Leche league meeting (c/o Abbie Yabbot) and i've learned that my son's nursing behavior is perfectly normal and that they can relate to me. i also have a copy of The Nursing Mother's Companion by Kathleen Huggins.

Anjfree, your baby is just a few weeks old di ba? At that age as much as possible don't let your baby go at long stretches without getting milk. Ganyan din problem ng baby ko before. He rather sleep. Ako naman I welcome that since hello that means sleep for me too. But I learned here that that shouldn't be the way. Maybe that also explains the low weight gain. So from then on I wake him up to nurse

Re rate, I think I paid zeny feliciano around php 7k for a (3) 1hr consultation. Included here is a lactation massage

Hi sis, I think yun nga mali ko.... I think is need to wake him up every 2hrs to feed. Salamat sa info on lactation consultants.

[anjfree]

^^yes sis, he has been cluster feeding since he was 2 weeks old. Tapos sleep sya ng matagal. Sana maayos ko pa pattern niya na every 2 hours ang feeding.

[hunny_ally]

^if it is time for feeding and he is still asleep, you can strip off some of his clothes. Cause the more he's feeling warm and fuzzy, mas masarap ang tulog. You can tickle the feet too. To open his mouth, you can tickle under the jaw or below the ear. Oh for the first few weeks I have my phone set to alarm every 2hrs para sure I don't miss feeding times

Ganyan din baby ko kaya ginigising ko every 2hrs. 6.2lbs siya nung pinanganak, after 1 week 7.5lbs na siya, yey!

sisses, malambot ba talaga poopoo kapag BF?

[iristacey]

^yup, yellow mustardy/seedy. even poops every feed/after 2 feeds. going 6months na baby ko pero ganyan pa din siya. there are some babies though who goes for like a week without poops. normal pa din daw yun for breastfed babies.

[honey_iya]

^yung 1 week old baby ko sis medyo dark green/yellowish pa ang kulay. tsaka minsan once a day lang pero sobrang dami.

grayce - are you pertaining to the LATCH seminar? last week sya August 18. dumaan ako pero patapos na rin. unless meron ulit next month.

ewan ko kung ako lang pero di ako masipag magpump pag nasa house kahit gaano katagal ang long weekends hehe! pero ok naman kami. mas enjoyk o kasi direct feeding pag off kami. kahit lumabas kami, na kaming dalawa lang ni baby na lampin lang ang dala at extra diaper, ok na. wala ng maraming dala kasi latch na lang pag nagutom.

iba ata parang end of the month ata yung nakita ko. not sure on this one kasi nung friday ko lang nakita yung poster in one of the lifts.

another advantage of direct feeding is, wala kang huhugasang pump and bottles

[iristacey]

sis honey_iya, see this link: http://www.babycenter.com/baby-poop-photos

ang alam ko since newborn pa si baby, he/she is still passing out meconium kaya dark pa stool niya. it will eventually be dark yellow.

[anjfree]

I logged and religiously fed baby every 2hrs or less. I fed him 1am, 3am, 4am to 6am cluster feeding as in walang babaan,  8am, 10 am, 11 am, 12:30nn,  2pm, 4pm cluster feeding till 9pm, 11pm.

Sana yung  cluster feeding mabawasan na. Bakit ganun, Kung kelan mas madalas me mag feed hindi nagpoop si baby puro wiwi Lang.

nakita ko din yung ref sa ensogo haha! it's nice if you are stuck in an office desk and walang ref ang office or di kayo pwede makilagay. but if mobile ka like if you constantly go out on meetings or client visits, fridge to go is the answer.

is it true ba na kapag naBBF ka bawal ka kumain ng fruits kapag gabi kasi baka makasama sa tyan ni baby lalo na kapag 1month palang sya? i love eating fruits kasi.. eh yung dad ko sabi iwasan ko daw muna ang fruits kasi baka daw sumakit tummy ni baby ko

mga sis help naman, 3 days palang baby ko nag try akong mag breastfeed pero walang milk na lumalabas, sumasakit lang dibdib ko pano kaya mawawala yung sakit? feeling ko kasi ang bigat bigat ng dibdib ko pero wala namang lumalabas na milk.

[hunny_ally]

^just continue with direct latching. Don't use bottles nor give formula. Check on your latch too Baka kaya masakit. If your breasts are really hard, you can try to pump a littl or hand express to relieve the engorgement and para easier for the baby to latch.

At 3 days, wala talagang lalabas na overflowing/spurting milk cause what you have at this point is colostrum.

[wengerts]

^^ sumasakit dibdib mo meaning engorged ka na or mabigat ang boobs mo? minsan kasi hindi makalatch ng maayos ang baby pag engorged ka. so it will help if you pump or hand express a little. also wag mo expect na super overflowing ang milk mo. direct feed ka lang ng direct feed sis.
at...

itago ang mga bote! para hindi ma tempt.

ganyan din ako dati.. feeling ko sobrang bigat ng boobs ko pero wala namang lumalabas na gatas.. ang ginawa ng mother ko pinainom nya ako ng malunggay.. tapos ipadede ko lang daw ng ipadede sa baby ko.. tapos nafeel ko biglang tumigas na yung boobs ko, may tumutulo ng gatas! hahah!
nawala lang yung sakit nung nakadede na ng maayos ang baby ko! 

[m_lim]

thankful talaga ako may thread na ganito! almost all my friends who bottle fed, isa ang reason bakit nila ginawa yun- wala daw kasi lumalabas.

i told them sayang kasi natural lang pala na walang lumabas for first few days.

[hunny_ally]

^i may sound like a sirang plaka, pero again it boils down to law of supply and demand. A NB has a very small tummy. So since they only need little kada feeding time, your body only produces what is needed.

[m_lim]

^thanks hunny_ally! okay lang info overload bago ako manganak. haha

[m_lim]

pano pala yung may masititis? i assume hindi pwede ipa suck kay baby kasi may puss kung minsan?
