Breastfeeding Part 16

[marssie]

hangang kailan ba bago tuluyang mawala pananakit ng nipple? ibig ba sabihin hangang ngayon di pa rin tama pagpapalatch ko kay baby? Is it okay kaya to take pain reliever?

[nikki]

sis m_lim, I don't think it's true at all I just realized that. Natawa na nga Lang ako saka si hubby nung napag usapan namin ulit. Lol

Sis Marssie, apply ka ng nipple cream. It really helps. Ako I have the lansinoh lanolin nipple cream. I apply before taking a bath daily.  It's safe and u dont have to remove any residue before feeding.  When my mom left for the US na, round the clock na ko mag direct feed ulit kaya sumakit ulit nipple ko but it lasted mga 2 days lang Basta I make it a point mag apply ng cream daily, nawala rin sakit Nya.

Hi fellow breastfeeding mothers. Question lang what vitamins are you taking po? Yung kirkland daily multi kasi nakalagay sa packaging niya na di pwede sa nursing women, so naghahanap ako ng ibang multivitamins. TIA!

Sis Nikki - yes sis its normal. Ganyan din baby ko nung newborn palang sya, sobrang worried and praning nako dahil bakakung ano na nangyayari sa kanya. Pwedeng cause is malakas yung milk mo and pag newborn kasi maliit pa tummy nila. Ang advise saken pedia ipaburp frequently and keep in upright position si baby mga 20mins lalo na pag nakakatulugan nya na pagdede. Ginagawa ko din noon, pag engorged boobs ko pinapump ko muna para di malakas milk before ko sya ifeed. Nabawasan naman pagsusuka nya until mag 2 months sya. My baby is 5months old now.

In addition to my prenatal vitamins with DHA, i'm also taking Vit C, moringa and omega 3.

Naku sis, yan nga yung hinahanap kong cream, kaso wala ako makita dito sa middle east, halos na check ko na bawat pharmacy dito. Nilalagyan ko nga rin ng milk ko kasi it helps daw kaso di pa rin mawala wala yung pain.. nung 1st two days ko palmers nilalagay ko nawala naman yung pain, kaso nung nagdirect feeding na rin ako ng sunod sunod ayun bumalik an yung pain at di na makaya ng cream. sabi ng friend ko sa kanya daw almost two months bago nasanay nipple niya..

turning 6months of exclusive bfeeding my daughter on Monday. i'm so happy and accomplished given our set-up pa that i work outside of the house.

sabi nung cousin ko we should not be too complacent daw na di ako mabubuntis kahit i'm breastfeeding. how true? kala ko natural contraceptive sya?

[chooga chooga]

Hi mommies, im breastfeeding my daughter exclusively for 7 mos now. We experienced the lungad when she was 2-3mos. Lungad is perfectly normal. It means they are overfed kaya nilalabas nila sometimes sa ilong kasi too much milk intake. It happens most of the time when naglelet down breastmilk natin so malakas ang flow for them. Kahit tayo naman siguro if we overdrink eh ilalabas din natin di b? So lungad is normal. Lahat ng babies naglulungad. It also shows na madami kayo milk. I suggest u burp often or u burp your baby after the lungad. Makikita niyo ang lakas ng burp kasi super busog sila.

[chooga chooga]

Pag lumabas sa ilong ang lungad don't worry. Normal yun. What u should do is put salinase sa nose kasi most likely babara sa ilong nila milk magiging sipon.

[chooga chooga]

I use the same prenatal vits i took. Ob smart is what i drink till now. Yun din recommend ng ob ko for as long as im breastfeeding.

[annie19]

^yes sis pwede parin mabuntis kahit exclusively breastfeeding ka. Kaya nad-a-advise parin contraceptives ang mga obs

[wengerts]

^^ ang ob ko naman sabi sa akin, if i breastfeed, she guarantees at least 6mos na di ako mabubuntis.

[chofontanilla]

True sis 6 months lang ang cover niya, after nun need na talaga magcontraceptive kung ayaw mo pa muna mabuntis ulit. :-)

[chooga chooga]

i agree. my ob says 6 mos safe. pagdating ng 7 mos with or WITHOUT period unsafe na. you can get pregnant na.

Sis annie19 and chooga, thanks for sharing your experiences,  reassuring for a first time mom like me.  Same naman advise ng Pedia niya to keep baby in upright position after feeding pero minsan Lang kasi sobrang Antok na ko hindi tumatagal ng 15mins. Thanks for reminding me, I have to buy salinase drops din pala. I also do the pumping esp pag sobrang engorged siya and it does help naman. I also know that it's possible na overfed na and hilig kasi ni baby naka-latch pampatulog niya. Pero minsan naman nadadaan din sa hele.

Today medyo nahirapan ako kasi either low supply ng milk ko or sobrang lakas Lang mag milk ni baby. Binigay ko na both breasts pero nagwawala pa rin so we ended up thawing 2.5oz of expressed milk tapos nakatulog na. The second time naman, nadaan sa hele.  Ang Hirap Lang kasi pag nagwala at umiyak.. Hay, the joys of motherhood

[m_lim]

ok lang kaya etong mga tinatake kong vitamins? 4more weeks pa kasi bago ako balik kay OB.

Caltrate once a day
Conzace once a day
iron once a day
Natalac 3x a day

[annie19]

Welcome sis nikki BTW, I'm a first time mom also hehe. Alam ko gano nakakapraning yan sis. Ang ginagawa ko dati pag antok na antok ako, sasandal ako sa headboard or wall sa bed para makatulog man ako hindi ganun kadelikado. Pero its always safe parin kung tiyagain mong wag makatulog. Tiis at tyaga lang talaga sa una, pag maka 2-3mos na si baby ok na yan.

[chooga chooga]

ako naman since 1 month baby i feed side lying na. hi m_lim i think your vits are ok. ako kasi medyo oc. i wanted the same vits nung preggy ako kasi nakakain ni baby yun thru breastmilk. feeling ko lang mas ok kasi yun din vits niya nung nasa tummy ko siya.

[m_lim]

^may point ka sis!

yan din mga tinatake ko nung preggy ako except Natalac and Conzace.

thanks sis!

[annie19]

Sis chooga chooga - di ko bet side lying position before since sumusuka si baby. Pinipilit nga ako nung helper namin na mag side lying para di ako mahirapan at mapuyat. Nakakatulog nga ako yun nga lang nakakatulugan ko din si baby hindi ko agad napapaburp kaya nagtiyaga talaga ko na cradle. Di bale ako na mahirapan wag lang sya
