Breastfeeding Part 15

[kaice]

Sis tri-ny ko nga yan kaya lang so far 1/2oz lang nakukuha ko
Sis, usually ba how long ka na nag bfeed before mag increase supply mo? Tsaka how will you say na na-establish na ang supply? Naiinggit ako sa mga nakaka 4-5oz per boob. Ako 1/2oz lang nakukuha ko nung nag try ako

kung 7 weeks pa lang si baby, normal lang yung konti nag nap-pump mo kasi konti pa lang ang demands nya.. try pumping one hour before feeding para ma stimulate ang production if you want to build supply. pump on the other breast while feeding kung ayaw nya sa side na yun. eat healthy. wag ma pressure na mag produce ng maraming milk, at this point latch muna ng latch to establish milk supply. after 7 months, issue ko pa din ang supply minsan and i'm thinking how to increase my stash pero parang lalo lang ako nahihirapan, kaya i let it be, pump frequently ako pag sa office, latch until asleep pag nasa house.

sis zoe_girl18, natuwa naman ako sa name mo kasi yan din nick ng baby ko. I have same situation like you, mahina din yung akin. everytime drop is coming in sa pinupump ko lagi talaga akong nag "thank you Lord", miracle na sa akin na may lumalabas na milk. 1/2oz din lang ako dati pero pinagpapasalamat ko na yun. tho mixed fed kami, i make sure my baby latch on me -everyday lalo na nung ML ako.

Now that i get back to work, I bring my pump and natutuwa ako kasi nakaka 1 1/2 oz per session na ko. achievement na yun for me. kahit na i want more to have stash.

Hi mga sis, may kilala ba kayong lactation consultant or someone who can help me breastfeed my baby? I'm 1 week postpartum and my baby won't latch on me. He was confined sa NICU kasi so nagformula na siya dun sa hospital eh gusto ko pa din siya ibreastfeed ngayon na nakalabas na siya from the hospital...

Sis, practice lang.. ako inverted ang nipple ko kaya hirap si baby na maglatch..Everyday, or everytime na hihingi sya ng gatas, inooffer ko muna ang breast ko.. pag ayaw nya ska lang ako nagbobottle feed. Nanood din ako sa Youtube ng tamang pagla-latch. Then, after 2 weeks, ng practice namin, naglatch na sya : Baby is 3 1/2 mos and  still breastfeeding

[Diane]

^yup practice lang. frustrated din ako nun kasi i want to breastfeed talaga and hirap din ang latch. kahit hirap ako nun, try lang ako ng try ayun na-gets na namin pareho

[Dacian]

i have to stop breastfeeding my baby.  i'm on my medication for my mumps.  doing pump and dump.  hoping my breastmilk won't dwindle.

[zoe_girl18]

. ^^thank you sis kaice & sis Diane for the words of encouragement. Gusto ko talaga ma-sustain ang breastfeeding hanggang 1yr old si baby. Minsan kasi pag nag iiyak sya habang nag feed tapos yung parang na-frustrate sya na-frustrate din ako. Although sabi nga nila bawal ma-stress kasi maka affect sa milk supply.  more power sa atin & more milk to come

also if inverted ang nipple, dapat icocorrect before you give birth by using a nipple puller

mix feeding will really compromise your supply. in order for you to keep up with your supply, you have to drop the formula and focus on direct feeding for now. try to pump before feeding to increase your supply.

Another question, pano ba magpadami ng milk? Feeling ko enough naman supply ko kasi baby os gaining weight naman tsaka maganda naman pag poop & pee nya. Kaso i want to start building a stash na sana. Kaya lang d ako maka start kasi parang she drains my milk everytime. Sa ngayon kasi bahay lang talaga ako pero gusto ko sana makatabi ng konting milk para makalabas naman  minsan. 7wks na akong nakakulong sa house. :p

if baby's gaining weight, thriving and hitting milestones nothing to worry about your supply. try to pump before you feed her if you want to start building your stash. before i used to pump before feeding and i wake up rin ng 3-6am just to pump also.

^Sis Grayce, hindi ba if you pump before you feed baka wala na or konti na lang mukuha ni baby pag time na ng feeding nya? Ang na-try ko pa lang is pump 'after' kami nag feed. Tapos wala ng lumalabas. If ever konting konti na lang.

[kaice]

^pump before feeding... mas magaling ang pag suck ni baby kesa sa pump kaya di totoo na wala sya makukuha. plus di naman totally nae-empty ang breasts. kailangan lang may mag stimulate ng letdown.  wala talaga or very konti ang lalabas pag pump after feeding. pwede pa feed on one breast, pump on the other. i do that sometimes pag gusto ni baby  mag feed pag nagpump ako

[iristacey]

sis zoe_girl18, anong pump ba gamit mo? consider also doing compression and massage while pumping.

Sige sis, try ko yang pump before feed. Yung pump while feed sa kabilang breast nagawa ko na.

Sis yung medela na PISA. Kaya lang di ko masabay pump. Usually pump ako while feed kay bulilit.

[Grayce]

^^^^wala ka na talaga masyado makukuha if you pump after feeding iba pa rin ang pag suck kasi ng baby compared to pumping.

[iristacey]

^^ah, medyo mahirap nga to do compressions while feeding. have you tried eating oatmeal?

[santita]

sis, if i dont pump in 6 hrs, magdwidwindle ba ang supply ko ng breastmilk? kasi tinitignan ko if i can skip one session na sa gabi kasi naaanemic na ko kakapuyat

[Grayce]

^there's a chance kasi nababawasan ang demand e.

[m_lim]

ano ano mga pagkain nagpapadami ng supply?

malunggay
oatmeal

sis, di ko lang mapicture out.. like, pump then pag may lumabas na na milk tsaka iooffer ang breast kay baby? or kailangan magpump ng matagal and makakuha ng at least 1/4oz bago magstop at ipalatch kay baby yung breast? yung napump na milk, i ooffer pa rin ba kay baby? Kasi as much as possible di muna sana ako gagamit ng bottle para di magkaroon ng nipple confusion si baby lalo na at so tiny nipple ko minsan nawawala pa

[zoe_girl18]

^^ah, medyo mahirap nga to do compressions while feeding. have you tried eating oatmeal?

Yes sis, every morning nag oatmeal ako

[Grayce]

^^pumping before feeding is you pump before feeding time ng baby mo. with my son before, I pump before he wakes up to feed. let's say if your baby feeds every 2-3hrs tanchahin mo na before pa cya magising to feed magpump ka na. i did this when i was still building my stash yung napump ko, I store it in the freezer para we can bottle feed him when we go out but i introduced the bottle to him when he was 5wks old already ha. d pwede too early kasi it can cause nipple confusion.

^^^google galactagogue foods.

i feel sad that my baby did not gain weight vs last month. i feel like may nagbago sa suckling nya, it's not as strong anymore. @7months, he is still 7.3kgs (same as last month). nalulungkot lang talaga ako.
