Breastfeeding Part 17

[iristacey]

^talaga? what about his milk? do you give fresh milk or formula when you go out?

[LC]

formulated milk in a cup na siya hindi na nagamit yun mga bottles niya kasi direct siya ever since, until one day nagwawala siya everytime we try to give her pump milk in a bottle kaya good as new lahat ng bottles niya. We started spoonfeeding her in a cup when she hits 4 months but water lang iyon since exclusive bfed siya until she turned 1 How old na baby mo?

[m_lim]

Hindi ata talaga ako marunong mag direct feed. Yung isang nipple ko naman ngayon may blister. May tubig sa loob.

Puputukin ko ba eto?

[LC]

maybe prone ka lang sa infection?? i think lahat naman tayo hindi marunong mag bfeed at the beginning, certainly i have no experience whatsoever i didn't know what to expect at all, i didn't even recognized the signs of engorgement when my milk started coming in...you can see a lactation consultant to make you more at ease maybe hindi naka- latch properly baby mo.

[kaice]

m_lim check your latch lang. wag mo putukin, let it lang. after feeding lagyan mo ng BM then air dry. if masakit like engorgement, i used cabbage leaves na nilagay sa freezer, relieving sya.

[marssie]

m_lim, sis wag kang sumuko sa pagpapalatch ako nga till now alam kong mali pa rin pwesto ni baby, pero naimmune na ata nipple ko sa pain wala na ako nararamdaman.

[liam88]

Mga sis pasali...first time mom ako..ako djn nahirapan magpalatch kay baby kaya prefer ko bottle para makakain before ina antok... ang poop nya mga 2x a day lang tapos kunti lang...palagi kaseng natutulog.4 hrs pa bago makakain ulit...normal ba yan?

Hi sis tonette!

[m_lim]

oo nga ok lang ba kung tulog ng tulog si baby at lagpas 4hrs pa ang next inom ng milk?

[marssie]

May times na lagpas 4hours din magfeed si baby ko. sleep kami ng mga 12 feed ko siya then nagigising ako inbetween kaso ayaw namang magfeed kahit anong gawin ko tulog na tulog, naka nganga naman pero ayaw maglatch bigla pa ngingiti, nakakaloko lang hehe,tapos aalis na ako ng 6am tulog pa rin..

[liam88]

Sis marssie paehas tayo...12mn feedmko siya tapos gising ako ng 3qm ayaw pa rin mag feed...hindinsiya umiiyak hanggang 7am tapos ginisiging ko lang tapos feed ko pero kuni lang kasi tulog ulit...ang ginagawa ko bottle yung gamit ko kase mas matigas nipple napipilit ko ipasok sa bibig..minsan effective naman..ngayon nga hjndinpa rin u,iiyak at humihingi...ilang hrs na lumipas.. ang sabi nila 2-3 hrs interval feeding pero ayaw gumising eh..mas gusto nila matulog..pag pinilit nkangiti lang whike sleeping kaya hindi mo nalang ma disturb..pero para sa akin kung gutom sila hihingi naman yan tyaka iiyak...baka hindi lang talaga gutom?

Normal ba talaga yanz. Ano ba dapat gawin? D kasi mapilit..

^ yan din naging problem ko before. my baby had jaundice kaya mas antukin. for such a young baby, you need to wake them up talaga every 2-3 hours otherwise they won't thrive. feed on demand is pwede na pagtuntong ng 2nd month. actually by 1 month, medyo kumukonti na din ang feedings. from my reading, mas efficient na daw kasi ang babies into sucking.

if you were able to backread a bit, some sisses including myself have posted ways on how to wake baby up. here are some.

strip baby of his or her pajama bottoms.
remove socks
change diaper
dim lights

effective ang tanggal-pajama+socks samin. they do wake up pag malamig kasi.

sis ask ko lang my baby is 2-weeks old and I tried to pump kaso 1oz lang nakukuha ko both breast..normal po ba yun? btw, mixed feeding po kami ngayon kasi my times na after bf sa both breast nagiiyak pa siya and kinakain nya yung mittens nya kaya napipilitan akong bigyan ng formula.. kawawa kasi eh hindi ko matiis yung pag-iyak..

Are there any foods that should be avoided pag nagbreastfeed?

[marssie]

Share ko lang, naaliw lang ako kahapon, binigay sa akin ng sis ko si baby para i-feed, di naman siya umiiyak, pero na ka subo na yung kamao niya sa mouth niya, so while im talking with my sis pinupwesto ko na si baby, nasanay kasi ako na everytime na pini-feed ko siya, inaayos ko talaga position niya para makapaglatch siya ng tama, then nagulat nalang ako kasi nagkukwento pa ako at nakatingin sa sister ko, bigla ko naramdaman si baby nakalatch na at nagmimilk na.. parang magnet na biglang dumikit at swak na swak haha! kakaaliw lang  Sarapp ng pakiramdam 

[jebbygurl]

congrats sis marssie! finally, nasanay na rin si baby maglatch! nakakatuwa talaga yung mga ganyang moments. susunod nyan, kahit tulog kayo ni baby easy nalang sa kanya maglatch automatically.

sis kneeknee, a small amount of what we ingest goes into the breastmilk so usually observe mo lang kung magkakaron ng reaction si baby sa kinain or ininom mo. pag may g6pd yung baby, foods to avaoid include broad beans, blueberries, red wine, etc. generally, just watch out for allergic reactions kay baby, fussiness, tummy aches.

[marssie]

^ o nga sis nakakaaliw yun nga lang ang problema ko tuwing sunday (1st day of work ko) pahirapan kami i-bottle feed si baby, fault ko rin kasi during weekends (fri and sat) dina direct feed ko so baby.  Paano pala yung frozen breastmilk ko,24 hours lang ba talaga from the time na binaba ko siya pwede i offer kay baby?

[mclicious0826]

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?

Hi Sis...my daughter was also jaundiced up to 6 weeks and we even went to a gastro-pedia and she had several blood tests and had an abdomen ultrasound too. Nakakapraning cze talaga but better safe than sorry...at least we found out that everything inside her is running perfectly smooth.

It's always better to have your baby checked sa experienced pedia. Ganyan naman talaga tayong mga Mommy...praning when it concerns our kids especially their health. 

[liam88]

Sis yui_21 ako rin nahihirapan magpump. Walang masyadong lalabas pero tumutulo naman. 1oz-2 oz lang kaya ko..

Ganun ba talaga yan kakunti? Or sa amin lang?

[maika14]

^ that's right sis. eto, we're pass 6 weeks na and almost clear na yellow undertone nya. halos wala nang trace.

also at 6weeks sobrang dami kong milk. nabibilaukan anak ko. i had to pump first pa before ko i-offer breast ko. sobrang dami. parang nato-trauma tuloy si baby magdede...
