Breastfeeding Part 16

[m_lim]

^sis st lukes qc ako. bakit ganun nagtanong ako dito about lactation counselor, wala silang alam!

naffrustrate na nga ako bakit biglang nawala colostrum ko. kahapon meron eh. wala tuloy mainom si baby kanina pa. di tuloy maka wiwi

[Charmed_one]

i think its okay. kinukuha naman nila ang nappies ni baby db? tintimbang nila yun to check yung wastes ni baby. kung nagpe-pee or poop sya. black pa siguro poop sya, yung meconium

would you believe nagble-bleed na ang nipple ko then tinawagan ko yung mga nurse and lactation specialist, okei lang daw yun kahit mainom ni baby. o.O wala naman nangyari din sa baby ko. for almost 3 days, colostrum lang na konti ang napansin ko and no milk.... im sure of it dahil nag chap na lips ng baby ko. o.O

i gave birth ng saturday then consistent sila na every 2-3 hours, chine-check ng mga nurses na dapat nagla-latch si baby. pag hindi sila napunta, at gising si baby, kami na nagta-try ituro sa kanya mag latch. (tinuro ito ng lactation specialist na pag umiyak si baby at bumuka ang bibig sa widest possible, saka naman ilapit sa nipple to latch) kasi dapat hindi lang sya sa nipple naka latch kasama areola.

i can pm you ms dinah's number.

Question naman mga mommies, not sure if it is something na kailangan ko ipagworry .. bakit kung kailan ako DF kay baby, wala naman ako mapump.. mga 10am ko siya last na pinafeed then 1PM nagpapump ako,halos di ako maka 1oz

^ @m_lim  hayz yan din prob ko.  pero ako is usually 30 minutes in one breast.  kumbaga hintay ko sya bumitaw.  2 months old na baby ko and hindi ko pa ren alam ano dapat.  minsan pag pinadede ko sya sa right side, then the next time and sa right ko pa ren sya pinadede (sanay kasi ako sa right side), ililipat ko sya after some minutes sa left para mas maraming gatas.


^^ @akiteklea  nung sa hospital ako, may nag-aassist ren sa akin.  ang problem ko lang, everytime na punta ako sa breastfeeding station, either busog na si baby, or tulog sya and di sya magising gising dahil hindi pa sya kakain, although time na nya kumain.  nung pag-uwe namin from hospital, nung nagkaron na ako ng milk after pumping, i tried na diretso sa breast and buti naman, hindi ako masyadong nahirapan.  ako ang may problem hindi si baby.  kasi hindi ako marunong humawak ng baby na ibreabreastfeed.  dami nakikialam sa akin na dapat ganyan and ganun ang hawak.  i ended up learning how to hold my baby... my way.

@marssie  ilang days na baby nyo?

[berryblitz]

ask ko po... anyone had tried Malungai Life Oil?  I'm on my 3rd day.  Not sure kung dumami milk ko, siguro konti.  Pero not sure kung may kinalaman sa Malungai Life Oil, parang napansin ko kasing laging tulog baby ko.  As in nakakatulog siya mag-isa minsan, wherein hindi nangyayari before.  Baby ko is 2 months old.

and ilan dapat itake per day?

[marose17]

pag newborn ba ganon katagal dapat i breastfeed?

15 mins per breast or hanggang mag sawa?

Up to sawa because you are trying to establish your supply and baby needs you.

marssie:
matagal ka na ba hindi nagpupump? normal yan if you've been doing direct feed for quite some time tapos nagtry ka magpump

congrats sa mga bagong panganak

Charmed_one, yan rin ang alam ko ok lang naman if meron mainom kahit konting blood, shouldn't really be a major safety hazard. don't worry newborns can thrive on merely colostrum lang for up to 5 days

I read on line (nashare ko din sa kabilang thread) that pumping should only be done after 6 weeks to avoid over or under production of breastmilk supply daw.   Direct feeding daw kasi stabilizes breastmilk supply based on what your baby needs. Any thoughts, sisses?

[Grayce]

^yes this is true. lagi naman namemention dito na direct feeding talaga is the best way to establish milk supply and pumping early is not advisable kasi introducing the baby to the bottle too early can cause nipple confusion.

Sus kaya naman pala over flowing ang milk supply ko dati to the point na pati kama nababasa na! Kasi 2nd day na nagkamilk ako todo pump ako para malessen ang laman, super sakit kasi feeling ko punong puno ng milk..

[Charmed_one]

noong nasa hospital pa ako, ginigising si baby basta pag 4 hours na syang tulog. ask ng mga nurse lagi kung what time natulog, pinapabayaan nila kapag hindi pa lumalagpas ng 4 hours. Then pag nursing time namin at nakatulog sya, pinaparub sa akin ng nurse yung arm ni baby para gumising. May note sa white board ng room ko na "2-3 hours feeding time"

[marssie]

@Grayce, thanks sis..one day lang naman akong di nagpump. Ganon pala yun muntik na ako magpanic.. So kung direct feeding kami pwede palang wag muna ako magpump.. Kaso need ko sana magstock para pag lumabas kami may maiwan ako kay baby.. Pano kaya yun.

[Grayce]

^try pumping ng madaling araw (around 2-6am ideally) dyan kasi ang peak ng milk output usually ng moms or pump ka before you feed baby. you can pump mga atleast 1-2x/day lang if your purpose is just to have something to give baby if you're out.

[m_lim]

grabe pala puyat pag may baby.. exhausted..sana dumating na milk ko talaga. madaming madami for my baby..

all worth it naman pag tiningnan mo si baby!

2nd day ni baby today at flat daw nipple ko sabi nv pedia. kaya need ko ng nipple puller. sakit!

[marssie]

^^ thanks sis..

[MrsKolca]

a few days before i gave birth, i already had milk coming out pero si baby hindi talaga malakas mag-suck.. i tried pumping din.. ouch ang sakit..     good thing she was able to drink colostrum..

[Charmed_one]

grabe talaga makapuyat baby. i think lalo na kung breastfed ang baby dahil madali lang nadi digest ang breastmilk unlike formula milk.

pero after a month or two in my case basta gabi every 3 hours ang gising ni baby, basta tabi kami sa bed kasi pagnagising sya konting breastfeed lang, sleep na ulit sya. okay na yung 3 hours unlike ng 1st month na 10 minutes - 2 hours (swerte na kung umabot sa 2 hours ang sleep) eh gumigising para mag milk.

[two_zero]

sis thank u for the comment, after ko manganak everyday with malunggay ang food ko pati wate rko with malunggay, i drink fenugreek and natalac nung humina milk supply ko with advice ng pedia ni baby, basta biglang humina ang milk ko after 15days nagagalit na si baby kasi kulang na sa kanya ang milk ko thats why nag mix feeding ako...

[GirlCrush]

^^if we think about it, mas matrabaho pag formula fed baby 'coz you still need to get up in the middle of the night to make some milk, also you need to wash and sterilize the bottles frequently. unlike in breastfeeding where you can just do side lying position just to feed baby

^babies cry for a lot of reasons not just because they're hungry. giving your baby formula milk will make your supply drop. there's no other way to boost your milk supply except to direct feed ang STOP giving formula
