Breastfeeding Part 16

[bluegintonic]

^ yup, super slim.Yan yata kaibhan ng EBF at nag-formula kasi parang ang laki ng baby na nagfo-formula.22 months lang at 10 kilos lang.4 months lang nag-introduce na ako ng lugaw and baby cereal mixed with BM. Malawak na ang food repertoire ng little girl ko- kung ano food naming as adults ganun din food niya so kahit broccoli kumakain siya. Hindi lang mahilig sa kalabasa.Fruits wise kain naman lahat halos kahit kiwi kumakain pero medyo nasasawa na siya dun. I'm not worried, kahit pa ano sabihin na dapat may height and weight na appropriate sa age as long as hindi sakitin, masigla at malaro naman. Tipid kami sa damit kasya pa sa kanya 18M rompers niya, minsan pati 12M kasya katawan kaso hindi ko na masara sa bottom, hinahayaan ko na lang like a sando.Ganyan siya kapayat!

my girl also ebf at kumakain narin ng solid food na kinakain namin. Di naman payat ang tawag dun tamang siksik lang. Siguro kasi pag formula mas madami yung water content kaya malalaki ang baby kapag naka formula.

OT! Siguro kailngan ko na magpalit ng pedia hehe kasi nadedepressed ako everytime na may schedule kami sa kanya kasi lagi nya binabanggit na underweight ang baby girl ko, lagi lang ako nagdadahilan na malakas naman kumain which is very true naman at super likot..

Ebf padin si baby girl ko until now 18mos na cya, ayaw niya ng iba breastmilk lang talaga gusto nya 

[marssie]

San nakakabili ng lansinoh cream?

[akiteklea]

^babymama sis. 

[nikki]

[iristacey]

^^^out of stock na kay babymama. gusto ko din nga bumili. had sore nipples til now.   my baby has 8 teeth na and started to nurse again after a few weeks of nursing strike. i dont know if its the pump or the baby which caused me to have sore nipples.

Wala akong magawa kasi insurance nagbabayad sa pedia namig sa SLMC.I won't mention names pero medyo high profile yung pedia ni baby,nakakapanlumo kasi pag nasa Manila kami parang pinapamukha niya na dapat ko na itigil ang bf-ing, kasi hindi nag-ge-gain ng weight anak ko, at delayed walker/talker din. Hindi siya supportive of BF-ing, bat ganun...dati nung nasa Singapore kami super supportive ang pedia niya dun na nagb-BF pa ako lampas na 1 year old. Dedication lang talaga. SAbi niya dapat daw nasa milk na eh madali sabihin ang hirap gawin! 22 months na anak ko at she doesn't seem to want to stop even though I'm more than ready to stop.

^@ iristacey: sis, if you can't find Lansinoh, try this tip: brush your baby's teeth/gums every after meals (solids).mas mataas ang likelihood na sa mouth ni baby ka nagiging sore kasi mas may bacteria dun kesa sa breast pump.so kung 3x a day kakain si baby 3x a day din ang brushing to lessen the sugar/bacteria growth which causes irritation sa nipple. Same din Gawain ko eh.Don't let him/her bf right after a meal of solid (even biscuits or a snack) w/o brushing.Gagaling din yan, just wash with water, pat dry (DONT RUB dry,lalong nakaka-irritate!)and kung kaya mo matulog at night na walang top pinakamabisa para matuyo.Ang kati pa naman nyan! HTH

Ang pedia naman ng baby ko gusto mix fed siya kasi nga mabagal maggain ng weight, itUtuberculin skin test nga sya bago mag 2 yEArs old kasi baka daw may pc ang baby ko.. Nakakadepress nga everytime na may scheduled visit kami sa kanya.. Deadma nalang, as long as masigla malakas kumain, magdede at malikot baby ko nawawala na pagkalungkot ko.. Itutuloy ko pa din magpa bf sa kanya kahit kelan nya gusto 

[iristacey]

thanks a lot sis bluegintonic. actually we brush teeth naman. i'm thinking that it might be the pump kasi i replaced the valve and it's suction is stronger now. i'm now lowering the setting. then again i still have to pump at work. my baby also loves to comfort nurse. medyo masakit sya twing nagpupump ako eh. i'm torn between lansinoh, medela purelan, motherlove and ameda comfortlan. i'm using virgin oil for the mean time before pumping to at least add moisture. kahapon nga yung 2 pumping session ko naghand express na lang ako. yung hitsura nya hawig nito eh.. i tried yung kagabi na topless and it worked naman konti. but then nagpump nanaman ako kanina so medyo nagstart nanaman yung blister. im worried din kasi about nipple damage eh.

Grabe may ganyan palang pedia bad vibes sya! Challenge na nga mag bf (although for me mas masaya sya ) tapos dadagdagan pa nya ng stress. Baka naman yung chart na ginagamit nya for formula fed babies? Eh magkaiba kaya ang progress in terms of weight ng formula fed sa breast fed babies. Ang breastfed babies mas lean kaya pag laki less likely maging obese.

[m_lim]

nagka blister nipples ko, ang sakit!

sabi ni pedia, lagyan ko lang Bactroban but continue pumping kung kaya. hay, bakit kaya nagkaganito? exclusive pumping ako

Oo sis yung pinagbe basehan nya is yung chart sa likod ng baby book ni baby, minsan sa inis ko nasasabi ko nalang na siguro mabilis metabolism nya sa sobrang kalikutan niya kaya slim si baby.. Inaadvisan nya ako before na mag mis na daw ako after 6mos kasi sa stage na ito daw bumabagal ang weight gain ng baby, e ayaw ng baby ko ng formula at ako din ayoko kasi hassle lalo na sa gabi.. Naku deadma na nga lang ako sa kanya kahit deep inside inis na inis nako..

There are several pediatricians out there who advocate and understand breastfeeding.  Sa akin, basic ito dapat dahil no-brainer na breastmilk is best.  I would look for another doctor if I were saddled with one who is so focused on weight that he/she overlooks the other aspects.

[pinkpunk]

i'm new to this thread and based on what i've read, i'm learning a lot though i haven't backread that far yet. my baby's 4.5 mos now and we are mixed feeding nowadays. i had low supply of milk ever since i reported back to work. at work, i'm only able to express 4-7 ounces of milk. by the time i get home by 7pm, i begin direct feeding my baby althrough the night until morning. how i wish i could bring back the days when i can exclusively feed my baby with breastmilk... for now, i take malunggay capsules, vit c and maintain a balanced diet to strengthen my milk supply. i apply lansinoh cream to my sore nipples and i think this is available at zebebe.com. so far my baby is very healthy and has just the right weight so i've no problems.

[akosibulinggay]

[textspeak!] daw? baka naman frustration nya ang breastfeeding at hindi sya nakapag breastfeed ng baby nya hehe ...yeah! Ang saya kaya mag breastfeed sa gabi u dont have to go to the kitchen wash /sterilize bottles and stuff. Taas mo lang your shirt pwede na heee Mas matalino pa ata your baby kesa sa pedia, alam nya what's best for him/her 

Tama ka sis! Yung baby ko kahit anong ibigay na milk ayaw niya, yung mil ko pa naman minsan nangengealam na dapat daw magformula na ako kasi ang slim nga ng baby ko, minsan nasasagot ko na din siya kasi paulit ulit nalang.. Lalaki pedia ng baby girl ko, actually okay naman siya kasi sa lahat ng text ko everytime na may tanong ako nagrereply naman siya, yun nga lang lagi niya binabanggit na underweight nga si baby..

matindi pa yung sa akin sis  as in super itchy nagbleed na nga! naka-1 year na kami nang BF ni baby na wala naming ganyan bigla na lang nag-sugat na hindi maipaliwanag.I just did that-brush baby as often as possible-wash my nipples with warm water and cotton, once a day na application ng Lansinoh (after bathing) ayun, 2 weeks lang magaling na.Hindi na ako gano naglalagay ngayon kasi okay naman na.

I think this attitude of pedias in he country is something based on their"comission"from pharmaceutical companies to "push"for a particular brand ng formula.I'm a nurse and I know these things do happen! Back when I was a nurse sa SLMC, as in trips abroad,car ang incentive ng ER doctors (how much more kapag mga naka-clinic na di ba?) to use or prescribe a particular brand ng antibiotic.Sure , you can buy other brands/generic but for those that could afford to buy that brand (which happens most of the time than not if it's SLMC) ,may benefit sila don. I just didn't know ganito ka deep-rooted ang practice na to.

[iristacey]

^thanks sis. i will try the warm water. after pump kasi dun pa lang ako maliligo and super lamig ng tubig ngayon! 1 week pa lang naman. may slight discomfort lang kasi my baby would try to stop the flow by slight bite when he just wants to comfort nurse and felt another let down. di ko na talaga alam but all along ngayon ko lang yan naexperience. no bleeding though. just sort of a scab. hope this heals soon. else i will really buy na either purelan or lansinoh.

[jessevaldez]

Need pa rin contraceprives. I got pregnant when my eldest was 4 mos old.

Hala! Pwede pala yun. Parang halos magkasing edad ang babies mo. Ang hirap siguro nun, wala ka pahinga. So anong contraceptives gamit mo pag ganun, sis? Breastfeeding mom ka ba?

[chooga chooga]

Ilang expressed bm ang tinetake ng baby niyo in a day?
