Share ko lang mga sis. When I left the delivery room after birth, my throat started to itch and it developed to sore throat. I still breastfed coz the baby needed the  colostrum. She didnt get infected.   I got sick and had sorethroat again when she was 3 mos which was the height of breastfeeding and the doctor told me that i should continue breastfeeding despite my sickness ---she said its the magic of mommy's milk. It produces milk based on the needs of the baby. Its the same  reason breast fed babies don't need to drink vitamins. Mommies produce the right amount of vit and min to keep her baby healthy and have strong antibodies.

nagpapa direct ako kay baby pag gabi, grabe naman halos ayaw pakawalan ang boobs ko.

kahit tulog na siya gusto nakasubo parin!

^ That's comfort nursing.  It is a good way to bond with your baby.  She is telling you she needs you.  Konting patience.

[iristacey]

^^sis m_lim, would you believe na kapag i direct feed my son, he comfort feeds the whole time? sometimes upto 2 hours. nung nagkasakit sya, he was latched for almost the entire evening. when i try to remove my nips, nagigising. tsaga lang talaga. i almost gave up when he refused to nurse but i gently coax him to breast. and now, it's successful. we direct feed when i'm with him and he knows how to gesture when he wants milk from me.

[m_lim]

bakit ganun mga sis, kung saan side pa mas matagal nagdirect feed si baby, dun pa parang nagbara ngayon.

hindi ko nanaman kaya magpa direct this morning kasi kumikirot sa sakit nipples ko.

pag pinump ko naman, halos walang lumalabas. naninigas na nga at may lumps na. parang may nakabara.

[marose17]

^ Kasi mas maraming na-produce na milk yung side kung saan nag-direct feed ang baby.

You are experiencing engorgement.  Huwag mong pilitin palabasin through pump.  Call mo na the lactation masseuse for breast massage.  Malaking tulong yan dati sa akin when I went through the same thing. 

[m_lim]

^thanks sis! winarm compress ko na nga kagabi pa at minassage ko pero wala talaga, ayaw mawala yung lumps.

kakatakot nga kasi bilog na bilog mga lumps parang holen. tapos masakit!

[marose17]

^ There's a term for those lumps, nalimutan ko lang.  Milk yun.  Pa-massage mo na ASAP para lumambot. 

[m_lim]

^bakit ba nagkakaganon?

[marose17]

^ Hindi nalalabas lahat ng milk kaya may bara.  Oh, I know na the term, plugged ducts.  This occurs pag may missed feeding sessions or pumping sessions or pag ang pump hindi makuha lahat ng milk.  Baka rin nag-o-overproduce ka ng milk sa kaka-pump.  Maraming reasons.

What brands of breast pads(washable/disposable) do you use?

[appledapple]

^^sis m_lim, na-experience ko din yan. hindi nawala thru pumping. nawala sya after 4 direct feedings.
