pag nagka sorethroat/colds/flu/cough, dire diretcho lang magpa direct feed? kahit umiinom ka ng paracetamol or antibiotic?

[iristacey]

^^baka bumilis yung pagbaba ng supply mo sis sistah, kahit 1x a day pumping during lunchbreak siguro will help.

my first baby's pedia is pro bf, kaso nung nanganak ako sa first ko nalaman ko na pinainom sa nicu ng enfalac si baby. ayoko mangyari sa pangalawa ko yun, gusto ko bm ko lang talaga.. Pano kaya pwede ma prevent yun? Prob ko lang kasi iba doctor na magiging pedia ni 2nd baby ko sa hospital na panganganakan ko so dko ma didiscuss yun.. Im planning to give birth in med city..

[iristacey]

^prepare a birth plan sis, indicate that you intend to exclusively breastfed (no glucose water/formula) and give this to your OB beforehand, like 1wk before your due date. this way, she can disseminate the info to the staff and pedia-partner.

[Cocoyow]

oo nga i forgot to discuss it to my ob before, ill tell it agad.. Thanks sis!

[iristacey]

^you might find this link useful sis: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bf-info/your-baby-arrives/my-breastfeeding-plan

i also provided a copy to my OB before I gave birth. When I gave birth, i saw that my birth plan was made available to NICU (hawak nila talaga yung copy so i was happy) and they did not give anything to my baby for the first 6hrs. he did not latch/roomed in immediately kasi.

Medical city is breastfeeding friendly hospital. I think they follow strictly the doh protocol

Mga sis, help naman. I will be leaving my baby for 4 days kasi may training ako sa Baguio. Paano ko store ang bm ko? first time kong malalayo ng ganito katagal, and sayang naman ang bm ko kung masisira sya bago pa ako makauwi? I am from South and more or less mga 10-12 hours ang byahe ko.

[kaice]

cooler with ice pack. the one I bought from babymama lasts up to 12 hours, double insulated lang gamit ko dahil bitbit ko every day, walang ref sa offices ko, ok naman ang BM ko 5 months ko na ginagawa yung ganung routine

^ help mga sis.. i'm EBF for almost 3 months na.. i used to pump naman mga 1x a day kaya lang ang problem hindi ko pinapainom sa baby ko yung gatas na na-pump ko.. ngayon need ko ng magwork kaya lang ayaw nya dumede sa bote 

[purple_girl]

^how about cup feeding?

[__x_X_x__]

^sinubukan nga ng mom ko na i-dropper.. ayaw nya parin talaga.. iyak lang sya ng iyak.. tapos nung dumating na ako tsaka sya dumede ng bongga..

girls, dapat na ba ako bumili ng lanolin nipple cream at nipple pads bago manganak?

pag nagka sorethroat/colds/flu/cough, dire diretcho lang magpa direct feed? kahit umiinom ka ng paracetamol or antibiotic?

The pedia told me to continue direct feeding even if i had a cold. My body will be producing antibodies that my baby will get thru the breastmilk.
I took biogedic for 2 days Hindi Naman ako Gumaling. No I didnt take antibiotics. pineapple juice sweetened diluted with water for 3 days lang for vitamin c I got better.

^wag ka muna buy ng lanolin cream. Ebf ako for 6 months never ako nag ka-cracked nipples. After breastfeeding let your nipples air dry and avoid soaping it for too long

[Grayce]

^^breastpads yes. nipple creme no.

^^^you have to be firm in introducing the bottle. you shouldve introduced the bottle to your baby after nya mag 1mo. and dapat iba magbibigay ng bottle ha not you. also try to leave your shirt dun sa magpapabottle feed to your baby para naaamoy ka nya.

[sistah!]

i pump twice during the work day. i dont obssess about the schedule anymore na nga lang. im happy sa results. my baby is heavy but not fat, more like siksik. she also doesnt get sick.

sis hindi kaya ayaw nya sa nipple ng bottle? may nabibili yatang nipple na pang newborn right? baka mas gusto nya yung softer

[new_iza]

Hi sis XXX.. 
ano bang bottle gamit mo? I had the same problem kasi..
Pigeon bottles really worked for us.. yung wide neck with peristaltic nipple.. gustong gusto ni baby.. Siguro kasi same shape ng actual breast..
If you dont want to switch bottles my way pa rin.. I use farlin bottles pag marumi na yung pigeons ni baby.. Kaylangan lang nakaready na yung milk bago pa magising or magutom si baby.. You should be aware of the signs na gutom na siya,.. Dont wait for the baby to cry.. Mahihirapan ka pag fuzzy na siya.. When you offer the bottle wag mo ipasok agad sa mouth nya.. Isayad mo lang ng konti sa lips ni baby yung nipple tapos let him grab it and suck.. minsan irereject nya ulit..  You have to be patient.. offer it again.. minsan irereject nya kasi hindi pa pala gutom.. wait mo lang umingit or humingi ulit ng dede..   
And lastly, as much as possible dont interrupt the baby while feeding.. Kasi pag nainterrupt siya sa pag suck start nanaman kayo sa umpisa.. 
Paminsan minsan nirereject pa rin ng baby ko yung farlin bottles nya.. I just do all those things, in the end nagugustuhan nya na rin.

Sa mga nag bottle feed ask ko lang po. Bukas kasi lalabas ako for the 1st time w/o baby. Direct feed kasi kami pero bukas mag iiwan ako ng expressed milk for baby. Tinanong ako ni yaya if she should feed baby every 2hrs. Kasi paflg direct kami basta gusto ni baby i feed her. Should i tell yaya to go ahead & feed every 2hrs or ask her to wait for hunger cues. Kaso baka d naman marunong mag recognize si yaya ng hunger cues medyo jurassic kasi ang yaya ko. :p

Ako nung napreggy ako nung 17 years old ako, nobody told me na dapat hindi ako magpabreast feed o magpabreastfeed ako.. Ako mismo ang may gustong magpabreastfeed kasi iyon yung alam kong masmakakabuti sa anak ko.. Bukod pa dun sobrang lakas ko talaga magproduce ng milk nun kaya talagang hindi na ako nagdalawang isip magpabreastfeed.. One year din ako nagpabreastfeed nun.. Hirap pa ako dati nun kasi after one year nag-aral ako ulit and madalas sa sobrang lakas ng milk kailangan ko kaagad umuwi kasi tumatapon yung milk.. Maraming benefits ang makukuha ng baby sa milk ng mommy.. Especially yung colostrum.. Nanotice ko din na kapag formula milk nakasanayan ng new born baby nagiging overweight ang mga baby or nagiging underweight.. Mashealthy ang breastfed na baby.. masattached din ang baby sa mommy nila kapag breastfed sila.. Kailangan lang talaga maingat ang mga mommy sa mga ginagamit nilang products esp. beauty products.. Maabsorb kasi ng katawan natin yun and may tendency na maabsorb din ni baby.. Dapat din make sure na yung tinetake natin na medication ay safe for lactating women.. Make sure din na healthy foods ang kinakain natin and hindi tayo nagsmoke o umiinom ng liquor or alcohol.. Napakahalaga din na may veggies tayo sa diet natin especially green leafy vegetables and consider drinking milk din.. I hope this helps.. ^_^
