Breastfeeding Part 15

[sumtingnew23]

what do you do mga mommies pag bite ni baby nipples nyo? my baby is 6 months old boy, may teeth na sha lumabas na kaya ang sakit. napapahiyaw ako..what pwede ko gawin?

hi sis! problem ko din yan ke baby during the earlier months na nag start na teething niya, that time nasa turkey kami with my MIL and sabi niya isubsob lang daw si baby para mahirapan huminga then he will let go on his own daw..para naman nakakaawa anak ko if gagawin ko yun, tapos mapuputol pa yung blood flow niya sa brain pag nahirapan huminga kaya NO NO at di ko sinunod no. what i did na lang pag kinakagat na niya breast ko e tatanggalin ko muna and i will say NO to her, after a while naman natuto na not to bite my breast, siguro na realized ni baby na mommy's breast if for drinking milk and not for biting, binigyan ko siya ng mga soft toys where she can make gigil. don't worry matututo din si baby in time sis. and besides pag gutom si baby he will never bite you kasi mas concentrated siya to fill his tummy, the times na kakagatin ka niya e hindi talaga siya seryoso sa feeding that time.  hope this help :-)

thanks sis, ma overcome din namin to..nakakaintindi na naman si baby habang lumalaki..gusto ko din kasi ituloy tuloy ang breastfeeding hanggat pwede ..

^^ your welcome sis! ako nga dapat till 1 year lang then switch na si baby sa formula, kaso ayaw dedehin yung formula powder kahit pa super mahal na ng gamit kong bottles, mas gusto pa din sa akin, buti na lang full time mom me kaya okay lang. ngayon naman parang ayaw ko na siya ibottle [textspeak!] hassle din maghugas and mag sterelize plus everytime pagtitimpla, not like this pag gusto itataas ko lang and t-shirt ko haha!! convenient in talaga pag BF ka lalo na sa gabi :-)

^sis, 2years and 5months na baby ko, breastfed pa rin. i have tried so many formulas, ayaw talaga. just a great thing, never pa na hospitalized baby ko, and nung nagngingipin na, never siya nilagnat. kaya i really believe, breastmilk is the best. but dapat ko pa rin siya i-formula cause big boy na siya.

Sis pwede din direcho mo na sya na fresh milk instead na formula. Ako goal ko 1 yr. na breastfeeding then fresh milk na.

you can go straight to fresh milk already and no need to give formula if you decide to wean your baby.

what do you do mga mommies pag bite ni baby nipples nyo? my baby is 6 months old boy, may teeth na sha lumabas na kaya ang sakit. napapahiyaw ako..what pwede ko gawin?

this is also my problem. take note that my son is already 19mos and almost complete na teeth nya. and if he bites, parang naglolock pa (this happens when he's sleeping) kaya napapahiyaw rin ak sa sakit.

sisses, is it okay to have diamond peel pag nagpapa-breastfeed? will it affect the breastmilk?

[myshamiya]

Help...not sure if this is OT pero i need your inputs mga sis on this. Almost 3 weeks na since i gave birth and still wala pa din ako milk nabibigay kay baby. Normal delivery naman ako, kaso i have inverted nipple daw kaya hindi maka dede si baby. What will i do, naka formula lang siya ngayon pero gustong gusto ko siya breadtfeed. Pag nagpump ba ako babalik yung milk supply ko? Nung 2nd day kasi sobrang bigat ng dede ko kaso ayaw lumabas kasi hindi naman dumedede baby ko and now balik na sa normal size yung breast ko. I'm planning on buying a breast pump kaso baka masayang lang. Ano tinitake niyo para lumakas ang milk supply niyo mga sis? TIA

[prettygurl00001]

^ Buy ka ng Avent Niplette... this corrects inverted nipples and flat nipples so you can breastfeed your baby.

[Grayce]

^^^of course it wont. i've been having DP even when i was still pregnant and ok naman anak ko.

[ms_ldr]

inumpisahan ko ng bigyan si baby ng fresh milk, 1 yr old na sya.
sabi ng SIL ko its better to give formula than fresh milk, mas masustansya raw yun. what can you say mga sis?
problem ko ayaw na ni baby sa bottle, kaya pag matutulog sakin talaga, or papainumin muna sya ng fresh milk (using straw) and then saka sya ipaghehele para makatulog kapag nasa work ako.
kapag nasa bahay naman ako, weekend or tulad ngayon holiday dito nasasanay si baby na puro bf lang sakin at mahina kumain.

^ask her what's her basis on saying that if "nutrients" ang sinagot nya sayo, explain to her that by the age of 1, we should be "training" our kids to eat solids by giving them nutritious food, and not relying on formula for the kids' nourishment.

@myshamiya also try nipple puller, meron sa mercury. actually ang breastpump may also help pull the nipple out. kung mabigat ang breasts mo, i massage mo then pump. have you tried consulting lactation experts? merong mga pwede mag home visit sa yo (BR ka may nagpost na ata ng contact details dito) and also help you in positioning the baby during nursing.

Some articles why milk is not necessary for toddlers & kids. Although I find their views a bit radical, I do agree that a healthy diet is more important than supplementing with formula and fresh milk:

My kids do drink milk (fresh milk) but only when they want to & definitely not forced on them (much to my mom's dismay!)

[prettygurl00001]

what about yung underarm whitening and IPL laser hair removal... will it affect the breastmilk?

Hello mga sis. Just wanna share my sentiments, 5 days nang hindi nagbreastfeed baby ko sa akin coz i'm taking medicines na hindi pwede sa nagbi breastfeed. Sabi ng dr. Mild lang daw naman kaya okay lang na magpabreastfeed ako. But i researched the med. and it indicated that it was not recommended for breastfeeding. Baket ganun, kahit alam ng ibang dr. Na hindi pede sa akin pro sasabihin pa rin na okay lang. Sayang ang breastmilk na everyday kong napapump, direct sa sink para itapon. sana after a week maging okay na ako and may bm pa rin ako dahil oagnagkataon 10days na walang direct feeding. Btw, got a pneumonia. Anyone who experienced this and still breastfed your baby? Tia

[prettygurl00001]

I'm on my 34th week and I'm thinking of switching my milk from Anmum Materna to Anmum Lacta. Puede na kaya? Does Anmum Lacta help in producing breastmilk?

[Grayce]

^sorry to say this but marketing strategy lang ng mga milk companies ang mga prenatal milk etc na yan. all moms have milk and drinking supplements before giving birth doesnt really have an effect. doing your research on what to do right after giving birth (unang yakap protocol, feeding on demand etc) is a better thing to do

[stylishmomy]

my bestfriend gave birth to her first baby 4 days ago and wala talaga cyang milk she wants to breastfeed her son so badly but walang lumalabas. Umiinom naman cya ang mga sabaw, drinks milk and eats healthy... I wonder how long kaya cya magkakaroon ng milk for her baby? or may mga moms ba talaga na walang milk? sad naman.

hi. help po.  i got questions regarding breastfeeding.

10th day old na baby ko.  yung milk ko sa breasts, hindi nadadrain ni baby.  hindi nya sinisimot.  and i think nakakatulog sya kasi karga ko sya while breastfeeding.   so after half hour or an hour, hingi nanaman baby ng milk.  pag try ko pisil yung nipple ko, as in soft pisil, may milk lumalabas.  and nakikita ko naman na may milk sa lips ni baby.  ganito ba talaga sa umpisa?

so ang style ko, breast #1, pag nakatulog and humingi ulit agad kasi inilapag ko na sa bed, breast #2 naman, then again, pag humingi pa ren after ko ilapag or after an hour lang, s26 formula milk na.

then yung poop ni baby, parang lagi sya poop, more than 5 times a day, and then color yellow, then parang may mga buo buo sa poop nya.  sabi ni MIL, yellow raw talaga pag breast feed.  pero ganun nga ba talaga?

[berryblitz]

hay nahimasmasan ako!  i saw in an article about the color, texture and mass of the poop when breastfeeding.  normal lang pala ang magpoop lagi. 

dito ko nabasa sa http://www.justmommies.com/articles/baby-poop.shtml

pero yung inaantok ang baby while breastfeeding, sana may makasagot sa inyo.
