sisses, 3 months na baby ko & direct feeding sya. hindi ako nagpu-pump kasi ayaw nya sa bottle tsaka matagal pa naman bago ko bumalik sa work. nung nag-3 months na sya, madalas e isang side na lang dinedede nya. ino-offer ko yung isang side pero ayaw nya na talaga. feeling ko nag-drop milk supply ko. lalo na yung sa left breast ko. nung pinadede ko kasi si baby kaninang umaga nainis sya halos kagatin nya nipple ko. nung nilipat ko sa right breast ayun ok na sya. soft din pala yung left breast ko these past few days. plano ko na sanang mag-pump. posible bang mag-increase pa supply ng milk ko? tia!

pwede ba ilagay muna sa freezer ng mini ref ang breastmilk tsaka nalang itransfer sa bigger freezer kinabukasan?


plano ko gamitin ang milk after 3 months.

kasi diba pag sa freezer ng mini ref: 2 weeks max.

pag sa freezer na separate doors: 3 months max.

pag chest type freezer: 6 months max.

Back to work na ako next week.. Nagwoworry ako, sana makapag adjust agad son ko sa bottle during the day, napapainom na namin siya pero may times na ayaw pa rin.. Working BF moms, kayo ba mismo nagfifeed din kay baby sa bottle? Kasi ako di ko magawa dahil i tried few times ayaw niya, sa iba napapainom siya pero like what i've said pahirapan muna. There was a time na nagbottle feed siya ng 7am then after umiiyak pa rin (unlike pag direct feeding diretso sleep) so hinele siya ng sis ko till nakatulog, pagising niya mga 9:30 cry ulit binigyan ng sis ko ng milk, he refused till nakatulog, after one hour try again, ayaw pa rin niya then sleep again after one hour more than 4hours na since nagmilk siya (2hours ng nakalabas yung warmed BM pero di ko pa mapatapon kasi ang hirap ko inipon). Ayaw pa rin at iyak ng iyak, di ko natiis kinuha ko na at direct feed ko siya, halos mabulunan at gutom na gutom..after magmilk nagsmile pa at nakipaglaro tapos natulog, para tuloy ako kinukunsensya plus nasayang pa yung 60ml na breastmik na pinawarmed ko

^much better talaga sis kung di ikaw ang nagbibigay ng bm sis. kasi alam talaga nila yun eh. what we've learned from LATCH and what we did also to train baby to take the bottle was like this:

sunday- be out of the house from 7am to 10am
monday-  be out of the house from 7am to 2pm
tueday - be out by 7am to 5pm
wednesday - go back to office na

^too late na kaya for my 6 month old baby na matuto mag bote kung ganyan din gagawin ko? TIA

[iristacey]

^not so sure but you can try. kung ayaw ng bottle, try mo yung sippy cup tutal 6months na sya eh. i've read na yung iba pinapainom thru cup (cup feeding) or kutsara or dropper. sa baby ko pigeon ang pinakanagustuhan nyang nipple. okay din yung calma kaso nung nasira na, ayaw ni baby kasi yung tulo lang ng tulo sa bibig nya, gusto nya yung maeffort.

[khriseeee]

I have a number of friends whose babies are pure breastfed but their babies get sick often Why is that? I thought BF babies should have better immune systems?

[honey_iya]

^^pigeon din gamit ko sis. actually kapag water sumisipsip siya pero kapag milk na niluluwa niya..weird :-|

[marose17]

^^ Case to case basis.  Generally, breastfed babies have stronger immune systems (because immunity from the mom passes through the breastmilk to the baby) and are not sickly.  Of course, this does not apply to ALL breastfed babies.

For me though, I can really attest to the power of breastmilk.  My children were preemies with very low birth weight (each weighed less than 3 pounds at birth and stayed in the NICU for 2 months) and yet, to this day, they have never been hospitalized.

[khriseeee]

I breastfed my baby for 8 weeks before going back to work and I believe it helped her a lot. My daughter is a year old and has only had 1 cold *knock on wood*. I just wonder lang why some other babies get sick so often when they have been breastfed longer pa.

My friend who has exclusively breastfed her baby for 1.5 years says her daughter gets sick every month. She's getting really discouraged about it and is planning not to breastfeed her next baby.

[chofontanilla]

16 months na baby ko and ebf madalas magkasipon, bakit? May shop kasi dito labas pasok iba't ibang tao and germs nakatira kami dito kay mil and kami lang ni hubby malinis sila hindi kalat dito kalat dun kaya madami bacteria di na ko nagtataka pero maganda lang kapag nagkasakit siya madali siyang gumagaling. So tuloy pa din ang ebf namin.

First two months ni baby mixed feeding siya although sa ratio ng 80-90% BM at rest formula never nagkasakit, nung nag EBF na ako ng ilang days sinipon at paubo-ubo. Till now halos 10days na on off sipon sabi ng pedia viral lang daw pero kahit papano nagwoworry ako at medyo dissappointed dahil din sa akala ko pag EBM bihira makakapitanng sakit.

[akosibulinggay]

Sabi ng pedia ni baby, minsan daw yung paglulungad ng baby lalo pag lumabas sa ilong tapos may natira, nagiging sipon daw yun.. Kaya siguro minsan kakasipon lang ng baby, meron nanaman.. Siguro much better kung iiwas nalang muna sa madaming tao para iwas virus.. Kung matatanda nga e madaling kapitan ng sakit, babies pa kaya..

[iristacey]

^^kaya m yan sis marssie. i have now exclusively breastfed for 1yr. yehey!

sis khriseeee, your friend's baby might have an allergy. i would suggest she keeps bfeeding. or possibly some diet elimination to the mom to determine the allergen. pero i believe na if she did not breastfed, baka the case might be worse. my baby had just 2 cough and colds incidents. generally healthy naman.

[marose17]

Once you bring your babies to malls and the like and they get exposed to people, hindi maiiwasan ang sakit.  Yung mga sipon at ubo, could be a virus which is transmitted through air and hand contact.  Important na mag-wash ng hands palagi ang mga tao sa house especially kung galing sa labas.  I never held my babies agad pagkagaling ko sa office.  I wash hands first and change into clean clothes.  We seldom had visitors din when my children were babies.

Kung allergy naman, you have to determine the triggers.  Sa both sides ng family namin may history of allergy, kaya may asthma ang kids ko which is manageable naman.  Sa side ng husband ko, lahat ng pinsan nila may skin asthma or eczema, puwera kids ko kasi sila lang ang exclusive BF for at least 6 months sa mga magpipinsan.  Sa tingin ko, nakatulong ang pag-career ko sa EBF.  My SILs nga hindi makapaniwala kasi sila mga SAHM mixed feeding agad but I managed EBF kahit na I was working full time. Sana raw nagpursigi sila.

Parang mali naman yatang isipin na porke breastfed eh 100% sickness-proof na ang baby.     Well, up to you if you want to stop or not breastfeed the next baby kung di ka convinced.  To each her own.

[m_lim]

tama, napatunayan ko tiyaga lang pala kailangan pag nagpapa breastfeed. hindi totoo yung dahil walang gatas kaya hindi nakapagpa breastfeed.

di ko nga akalain kaya ko pala mag exclusive dahil wala akong tiyaga! hehe. pero anything for my baby.

after lagnatin, several episodes ng blocked nipples( na kailangan kong tusukin ng needle to release the milk), nagbubukol bukol na milk sa boobs ko, we hit our 2nd month today!

[marose17]

^ Congratulations!  Birth pains lang yan, sis.  In the next few months, easy peasy na lang yan gaya ng sabi ng mga sisses dito.   Marami nga more than 1 year nag-EBF and kudos to them.  Kaya mo rin yun!

Sis m_lim, direct ka na? Galing!
