ano daw cause ng pus sa breasts?

[jebbygurl]

hi sis m_lim! i hope you're feeling better na. common problem talaga ang sugat sa nipples especially during the start of breastfeeding. etong second baby ko nga, gulat ako kasi nasugat parin nipple ko tapos may onting white (pus), though maliit lang naman parang dot lang. thankfully, hindi naman sya nainfect even if i continued breastfeeding. yung breastmilk daw kasi may antibacterial and healing properties. so pag may onting sugat/crack sa nipples, they advice na let the breastmilk dry on the sugat lang. pag sinabon kasi, lalong magda-dry yung nipples and more prone to soreness.

mga sis, sa simula lang talaga yan usually. kasi hindi pa sanay yung nipples so medyo tender pa. to quote what my friend said to me during my first experience with breastfeeding, "kukunat din yan". haha. but it's true. prone din kasi sa soreness at sugat sa simula kasi hindi pa maayos yung latch ng ibang babies so sumasakit talaga yung nipples. pero pag tama na yung latch nila (meaning, nipple + areola), wala nang masakit.

tama yan sis, continue expressing your milk lang para hindi magdry-up ang supply mo. if only one nipple is affected, then baby can drink from the other one. yun ay kung safe for breastfeeding yung binigay syo na antibiotic meds. goodluck!

after 2 days of taking antibiotics, 2tabs / day at i pricked my nippple ng insulin needle ko( eto hindi sinabi ng doc but desperate na ako, super sakit kasi talaga nung pus!)

ayun, paglabas ng pus, nawala na ang kirot today! nilagyan ko rin ng Bactroban (bigay ng pedia) whole day kahapon at hindi ako nag bra para makahinga ang sugat.

laking ginhawa. tagal kong tiniis yung kirot mga 3weeks kasi sabi ng ob wala lang daw baka sore nips lang. sus!! eh umabot na sa likod ko yung kirot.

mga mommy help naman, I want to increase my milk supply kc hindi ako pwede sa mga Fenugreek blessed thistle,mother’s milk tea or malunggay capsule basta lahat ng green leafy because I am taking warfarin. My ibang vitamins kaya na na pwede sakin

Nakakapayat nga yata pagpapabreastfeed, from 80kg when i gave birth after 3months 69kg na lang ako.. Kaso malapad pa rin balakang ko tamad ko kasi maglagay ng binder.

[m_lim]

Nakakapayat talaga sis! I love it. Hehe

[shooting_star]

Sabi sa seminars na naattendan ko, 500 calories per day daw ang nabuburn ng breastfeeding.

[maika14]

5 weeks into breastfeeding and yes, nakakapayat. all i do is eat, breastfeed and sleep pero lumiit na ako ng slight. hehe errr, except sa puson. 

[pink.sunshine]

me too. 4 months and still counting. i'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. although i need a little toning up.

[kaice]

balanced diet is ideal with galctagogues. minsan kasi ginagawa ding defense ang breastfeeding to overeat hehe! guilty. Im ok with my weight after 13 months breastfeeding, no exercise, no diet but with a little tummy pouch.. kailangan na magcrunches, safe na naman kahit CS

enjoy the breastfeeding journey, i'm always proud to say im still breastfeeding my toddler:)

[maika14]

Mga sis, has anyone of your babies had jaundice because of breastmilk? My baby was jaundiced for a good 3 weeks kasi. Yung visible talaga sa mata. The doc and I thinks it was due to breastfeeding and the excess blood from her Cephalhematoma. Nag lighten na naman yung yellow undertone nya pero meron pa ding konting-konti sa sclera ngayon that we're 5 weeks old.

Nakakapraning kasi mag research.  If your baby had jaundice from BM, when did the jaundice eventually gone?

[iristacey]

^^same here. i really overeat pero 50kgs pa rin! i eat 3x double rice, may 2 merienda pa. hehe!

^continue to bf, jaundice will eventually fade. nagkaganun din si baby ko before and okay naman.

[jebbygurl]

yep, nakakapayat. ang saya no? although it's not always the case. some moms na kilala ko, hindi sila naglolose weight by breastfeeding. depende ata talaga sa response ng katawan mo. ako, nagugulat parin yung mga doctor ko kasi pag follow-up check-up ako sa kanila, mas payat pa daw ako kesa nung before ako mabuntis. lulubus-lubusin ko na to kasi tamad talaga ako mag-exercise and we love to eat. hehe.

[jebbygurl]

sis m_lim, pareho pala tayo ng ginawa. hehe. ginamit ko rin insulin needle ko to prick the white spot. kala ko nga nung una e plugged duct kasi nagkaron ako ng plug during my first baby pero pus pala. nung naubos yung white/yellowish thing, ang natira nalang is onting sugat so pinatuyo ko nalang with breastmilk. i continued letting baby feed from it and ok naman sya. i was thinking about going to a doctor before i pricked the pus kaso hindi ko na natiis kaya ginawa ko na. hehe. hindi ko na sinabi sa doctor ko afterwards kasi baka pagalitan lang ako. anyways, um-ok na rin naman ako after that so no biggie. :p

ang weird naman, hindi nakita nung ob mo yung pus? ang to think tiniis mo yun for 3 whole weeks. tsk tsk. well at least ok na.

Medyo worried ako kasi yesterday almost 12hrs ang pagitan ng pagpoop ni baby. From around 10am to 10pm. The night before (bale march 14) i gave him formula kasi kalako naubusan ako ng breastmilk eh gusto pa magdede. Its not the first time he drank the milk pero nagtaka ako kasi normally every 3 -4 hrs si baby nagpoop. Yesterday nagbreastfeed na uli ako. Pero since 10pm last nightdi pa rin siya nagpoop. May nakaranas na ba nito?

[jebbygurl]

hi sis tonette! ilang months na si baby? kapag purely breastfed, sa first month super dami talagang poop. tipong every after feeding halos tapos super watery. pag 1 months ng formula-fed baby, halos ganun rin naman although mas less at medyo iba consistency.

after the first month, biglang magiging mas onti yung poop, even if purely breastfed parin. ako, for both my sons, may times talaga na umabot ng 3 days na no poop. after the 3rd day, ayun super duper dami naman pero malambot parin so it's good. ang kelangan mo lang naman watch out is kung mukhang constipated si baby kaya hindi makapoop. pag mukhang umiire at namumula pero walang lumalabas. signs of tummy ache din. tapos pag finally naka-poop sya ng onti pero bilog-bilog and matigas, that means constipated sya.

just continue breastfeeding lang. if you're breastfeeding and your baby is not yet taking solids, you don't have to worry about constipation.

Anyone here who have tried using Mom and Me Breastmilk storage bags? I saw it at SM Dept. Store.

[m_lim]

^yan ang unang gamit ko. hindi ko gusto kasi mura nga, manipis naman yung plastic.

better ang Anion. makapal kasi at iba yung bukasan para pag isasalin mo ba sa bote

good for you sis.. in my case,I've been breastfeeding for almost 8 months now pero tumaba ako ng bongga because every after nagpapaBF ako,super nagugutom ako.. It's been almost a year but I haven't regained my pre preggy figure or at least nabawasan man lang timbang huhu =((
