Looking forward to learn more from this thread. Very eager ako to breastfeed my baby.

[misteryosa]

Mga sis everytime mag feed tayo mag drip sa kabilang breast, what do you do? Ako Kasi nasasayangn kaya I use via cup then every night rest Muna ako Kasi sa pain yun yung pinapainom ko yung na ipon ko, sometimes nakaka accumulate ako Ng 3-4 oz in a Day sa patak patak hehe...

[Grayce]

^you can try pumping while feeding. i used to do this before but for a short while lang kasi nagagalit anak ko sa pump

[cerelina]

usually ba both breast yung nasusugat? how do you feed the baby pag may sugat?

[misteryosa]

Pwede 1 and pwedeng both. Ngayon saakin both. Need pa rin feed si baby kahit may sugat or pump mo pwede rin.

Question:  i mix my breastmilk in the evening (collection ko from am to pm na milk) pwede ko ba ito i freezer?

^^ as long as same temperature, you can mix them. if you will be using it in the next 3-8 days, no need to freeze. mas fresh ang milk pag ganun. though if it will not be consumed immediately, freeze mo after 4 hours sa ref. the date / time should be the time of the earliest pumped milk

[misteryosa]

Thanks sis kaice

if dede ng dede si baby then sometimes wala pa 5 min natutulog na pag tinangal ko na gigising na sya and iiyak. Gusto lang nya may dinedede ano dapat gawin? Yung pacifier ayaw nya tangapin iiyak pa din.

[Grayce]

avoid giving pacifiers as it can cause nipple confusion for the baby. your baby probably just wants to comfort nurse which is quite normal lang naman.

hello, relatively new breastfeeding mom here.
naglu-lurk na ako sa thread na ito even before i gave birth. thank God because i was able to prepare and knew what to expect. now, 3 months and counting na kame EBF ni baby

[ladykristinn]

ako kahit nasusugat is pinapadede ko pa rin kasi sa mga nabasa ko is sabi kapag hindi mo pinadede iyong may sugat baka mas lalo pang lalala kasi maiipon ang milk. kung hindi daw carry ang sakit is ipump iyong milk sa breast na may sugat pero ako pinipikit ko na lang at sinasabunutan ko na lang ang sarili ko to endure the pain. minsan left breast minsan right pero never pa naman nagsabay nasugat.

andami ng similarities ng baby natin sis misteryosa. noon din si baby ko ganyan. kapag inalis mo iyong dede ko biglang magigising. parang gusto nya always on call iyong dede ko na nakasaksak lang sa bibig nya. na kung kelan nya gusto mag suck dapat ready na sya sa bibig nya. na overcome din nya iyon sis pero may times pa rin na alam nya agad kapag wala ako sa tabi nya kaya nagigising agad. hindi ko alam ano ginawa ko para ma overcome iyon sis. ang alam ko lang kinakausap ko sya na wag ganun kasi may mga gagawin pa ako. pareho din tayo sis na ayaw nya sa pacifier. niluluwa ang pacifier. mas gugustuhin pa nyang itulog daw kapag lumabas ako (saglit lang kapag punta lang ako sa grocery) kesa i suck ang pacifier.

[misteryosa]

^ may karamay pala ako sis.

btw, who experienced here vasospasm?

Tinawagan ko na yung pedia kanina 7am pa lang, kasi ang sakit, hindi ako masayado nakatulog kaninang madaling araw, sumakit nung natamaan ng hangin ng aircon

[geekchiq]

Am just really happy and proud of myself everytime I survived a work week without supplementing any formula milk kay baby. There were times talaga na natetempt na ako bumili just to ensure may back-up, but then because I dont have one, mas tiyinatiyaga ko talaga to pump. Kahit minsan na 1oz or 2 oz before or after feeding ni baby, sinasave ko talaga. Been breastfeeding my baby for almost 9 months na. Going for 2 years and beyond. hehe.

My daughter is almost 8 months and we are still exclusive breastfeeding.
 We have surpassed comfort feeding, frequent nursing, clogged milk ducts, nursing in the public restroom, nursing in the car, anti breastfeeding in-laws.
Thanks to my very supportive husband, my mother, kellymom and of course my fellow breastfeeding GT mommies.

[daveigh]

^ wow, anti-breastfeeding in laws! hindi ba't dapat sila ang mas supportive? care to share on this?

[chooga chooga]

I have been direct feeding for 6 mos now. Im training my baby to bottle feed so i can go out. Thats why i'm pumping every 2 hrs. Pero dati i used to pum 5oz in the morning and 4 oz during the day. Now 2 na lang every pump even if every 2 hrs ako magpump. I direct feed pa in between during the day and at night and dawn. Bakit ganun? Does it mean humihina na supply ko. Ang hirap pa naman magpump. My mom tells me to formula feed na kasi nakakasag daw magpump. I'm tempted na tuloy. Kasi my total pump milk nalang in a day is 16 eh to think i have to provide for 24 oz a day. I'm planning na tuloy to formula feed. I am stressed.

[two_zero]

sis pagnagpump ba ko now tapos ipapainom ko din kay baby ilang hours lang dapat bago mainom sya ni baby.

[GeRi Sp!cE]

Lahat Kasi ng mga anak ng inlaws Ko was formula-fed. They think Mas maganda Ang formula. Well Ill make them realize otherwise.

^sis, I experienced the same thing. though they are not really anti-breastfeeding, it's just that they want me to wean na my baby. They like me to stop breastfeeding kasi ang payat payat ko na raw kasi nga my baby still wakes up like every 2 hours to feed during the night, e napupuyat raw ako tapos ma work pa ako. When I told them na up to 2 years ko like magpa-bf, they were shocked. Since am the mother, ako ang masusunod PERIOD. In the first place, am not complaining with regards to waking up sa gabi kung para kay baby naman eh.
