Breastfeeding Part 17

[liam88]

Sis charm thanks try ko.

Sis m_lim kakainggit ka, ako kulang ang na pump ko kaya formula yung kapalit.

[tonette815]

Kaka 2 months pa lang ni baby. direct feeding kami lagi since dito lang naman ako sa house. kaso preferred ni baby yung right breast ko kasi magkaiba ang nipple kaya eto magkaiba na ang size. tapos lately naging less ang demand ni baby magdede. when kaya ako magpa-pump? kasi feeling ko anytime hingi si baby ng milk habang nag pupump ako. baka by then wala ako maibigay. paano kayo magpump at mag direft feed at the same time mga sis? any tips? gusto ko sana ikeep yung production ko ng milk kasi ayaw ko magformula.

[mamichula]

  My supply is decreasing na I normally direct feed pero last week I had to pump and store and I noticed nakaka 3oz nalang ako per pump from both breasts minsan 1-2 oz lang before kaya ko 6 oz and my baby looks payat.

Actually muntik na ako ipa mix feed ng pedia coz nag lose ng 2 lbs yung baby ko last month, when I pumped at home I got 6 oz from one breast so sabi ng pedia madami pang milk.Di pa kailangan isupplement.

Kaso this month I don't know bakit umonti I'm so sad. Pag bumaba nanaman his weight baka sabihin nanaman mag supplement ako eh I want to bfeed longer. He's 7 mos old palang. People are noticing din na pumayat my son. One of my aunts pa said "patabain mo yang anak mo!" kasi yung apo nyang formula fed sobrang laki. I told her na hindi talaga tumataba ng matabang mataba ang breastfed kahit paglaki. Haay

^ Is your baby really losing weight or just getting leaner?  Most babies kapag naging active na pumapayat o nagiging less rounded.  It does not mean na hindi healthy.  Honestly,nagtataka ako bakit gustong-gusto ng mga matatanda ang matatabang babies.  Kapag lumaki na at mataba pa rin, problema naman kung paano papayatin. 

As long as your baby is thriving and healthy, do not obsess about the weight. Mas maraming health problems associated with big babies like diabetes and obesity.

he lost .2 kilos pala not lbs.

^he lost weight last month according to the scale in the pedia's clinic they measure his weight every month. Yesterday they measured he gained na .4 kilos still mabagal daw according to the pedia pero no mention of supplementing na this time. probably bec we were payat din (my husband and i) when we were babies. And he's super active so maybe that's why. He's super bilis kasi kumilos and he's standing up na @7months old.

People lang kasi won't stop mentioning na he's payat sinabi na ngang pure bfed yan kaya lean ayaw pa din tumigil hanap ng hanap ng ginagawa kong mali kung bakit payat compared sa ibang babies. Eh yung matatabang formula fed na kilala ko labas pasok sa hospital! and nakahiga lang parati, talagang tataba yun.  anak ko @7mos never pa nagkasipon and he never stays still always crawling exploring sobraaaang likot

^ Just ignore their comments and do your own thing.

[liam88]

Ano ba mas maganda, manual or electric pump? Manual pump kase gamit ko, i'm wondering if electric pump mas madali na ba ako matapos mag pump.

[marose17]

^ Pumping is faster if you have a double electric pump.

breastfeeding mom here

breastfed yung panganay ko till 2 yrs old,nagstop lang ako for my second pregnancy, ngayon dito sa 2nd baby ko iniisip kong iformula na siya kasi parang ang bagal niyang mag gain ng weight sa breastmilk. sabi naman ng pedia niya okay pa naman weight niya, nasa tama lang for her age kaya di pa niya kami inadvise magformula.

kayo rin ba mga sis payat lang baby niu?kasi sa panganay ko tama lang taba niya noon. i mean tabang siksik,yung may laman lang...

[sistah!]

my baby is payat. not unhealthy payat. more like lean. she's not chubby or round like other babies. but she's super healthy as in hardly gets sick. she sneezes lang ng konti tapos ok na sya ulit. ako full on flu na pag nahawa sa kanya! kaya im really thankful i stuck with breastfeeding kahit na talagang hirap na hirap ako dati.

now my daughter's 16 months old na. we give her na milk while im at work dahil ayoko na mag-pump pero she still breastfeeds at night, as in she wakes up pa nga minsan just to feed from me. until now marami pa rin ako milk kaya kahit i just want to stop breastfeeding, parang nanghihinayang ako sa benefits. siguro i will wait a few more months until my daughter is more ready to wean.

[marssie]

^you mean sis sa gabi ka nalang nagpapadirect feed and dont pump na during the days and yet marami ka pa ring milk? galing naman, pwede pala yun.

[len_choi]

Pa join po ako... Ask ko lang if may alam po kayong breastfeeding seminar? I want to attend sana.
My Baby is still in the way pa naman. My sis gave birth last year, pero hindi successfull bf nya, she
End up giving formula milk. I want naman to purely bf my baby.

Hey Guys,

Gusto ko sana mag start ng new topic since super super layo na ng topic na toh kaso i cant figure out kung paano mag post ng new topic, it seems na walang button para sa New Topic.

I have a two months old baby, low din ang milk supply ko gaya nung ibang nag post dito na nabasa ko. Unti lang nabasa ko sa topic na toh since part 17 na ito at iba ibang replies na rin ang meron dito.

When I gave birth to my baby, hindi ako agad nagkaroon ng milk, kaya ang ginawa namin para di magutom si baby eh pinasuso namin sa sister in law ko kasi she is breastfeeding her 6 months old baby. after 5 days doon ko na napansin ang pagsakit ng breast ko at pagbigat. Kaso minsan lang nag latch sakin si baby. until this month about twice lang sya sumususo sakin at karamihan bottle feeding na. kasi kahit super gusto ko sya eh purely breastfeed eh ayaw nya sumuso sakin

nakakahurt nga minsan na parang mismo anak ko pa ang ayaw sumuso sakin. pero gusto ko talaga sya eh breastfeed kaya I decided to take moringa malunggay capsule (twice a day), napansin ko nag increase ang milk supply ko after two days palang..pero ang problem nga ayaw din sumuso si baby. ang breastpump ko naman eh (BABY FLO Plastic Breastpump) naubusan daw kasi ng glass. so pinag tyagaan ko nalang yung plastic kaso pag nag try ako mag pump parang hindi naman madami yung na pump. di nga halos mag 1 ounce eh. I did tried pumping every two or three hours kaso nung nalaman ng sister in law ko sabi nya baka daw sumakit suso ko dahil sa kaka pump ko ng madalas.

Meron pa po kayang ibang paraan para masanay ulit si baby mag latch sakin? Ayaw ko sya eh pure bottlefeed kasi parang bata pa sya para puro cow's milk ang inumin nya.

Hi mga sis!

My baby is 2month old na.. and i returned to work na rin.. pero I am trying my very best na ituloy ang breastfeeding kahit mahirap. Nagtry ako magpump pero ang nakukuha ko is 1 or 2 onze lang kada session. Twice lang ako magpump sa office kasi 2 lang nadadala kong lalagyan  na bottle with cover. (hinde pa ako nakakabili ng storage bag). Tanong ko lang po.. ilang onze/ml na po ba need na itake ni baby? Meron ba kayong list of how many onze/ml dapat ang nakukuha ni baby each month? wala kasi akong idea kung kulang ang feeding or sobra ang nabibigay sa kanya kasi hinde ko naman mabilang kung gaano karami nakukuha niya pag nag-direct feeding siya sa akin..

[marssie]

^ sis b3bang 2months palang naman si baby mo normal lang ang output mo.. when i went back to work 3 months na almost si baby ganyan din output ko, continue lang ako sa pagpapump, now nga na 5months na si baby may times na nakaka 4oz lang ako in one session both breast na.. may baby is siksik aand may pagka-chubbylito  kahit madalas kong mabasa na di tabain ang breastfeed baby.  Minsan 2.5 oz naiinom niya (at his age ha) minsan naman pag nasa mood nakakaubos ng 3.5oz..  Kaya kahit papaano di pa ako nagpapanick mode na magagahol ang supply ko sa kanya..

^^beazone13 Naging problema ko rin yan dati, na akala ko ayaw magfeed ni baby sa akin, then it turned out na mali lang pala ang position ko kasi Try to seek help from someone na marunong para maiguide ka sa proper positioning.. Try to back read sis, may mga lactation consultants na nabangit dati na pwedeng makatulong sayo

[jebbygurl]

^ sis beazone, yung ibang babies talaga pag nasanay sa bottle at an early age, hirap talaga ibalik sa breast. pero just don't lose hope. nung tuesday, galing ako sa Arugaan creche. it's a daycare pero they also offer mother support for breastfeeding. pwede ka magpatulong kay nay nes, if you want. yung kasama ko sa breastfeeding marikenyas group, nagpapatulong din sya sa arugaan na makadede sa kanya yung baby nya.

stay positive lang talaga sis. pag relaxed ka, relaxed din si baby.

this is my personal breastfeeding experience. baka may maitulong kahit moral support lang. (i dedicate this too to all breastfeeding moms)

good luck sis! message mo lang ako if you need more help or details about the support group/arugaan.

[jebbygurl]

^ sis lenchoi, may free seminar ulit ang medela house this may 18, 1-5pm. the title is "What to expect at the hospital and beyond, when you've decided to breastfeed".

you can register via 725-3723 or 738-6272. or check Medela Moms sa facebook for details.

[liam88]

Mga sis pano niyo pina cool yung breast milk na galing sa refrigerator?

[jebbygurl]

^liam88: hi sis. you mean, pano pinapa-warm? pag galing sa freezer, pwedeng ilagaymo under running water hanggang sa matunaw. mabilis matunaw ngayon kasi mainit ang tubig sa gripo. hehe. yung baby ko ayaw nya talaga ng malamig so lagay kami ng hot (wag naman boiling hot) water sa mug tapos lagay dun yung bote na may milk hanggang sa maging ok yung temperature. check mo lang bago bigay kay baby kasi baka naman super init.

[liam88]

^jebbygurl uu yun nga sis.. akala ko kase hindi pwede ilagay sa mainit na tubig...pwede ba ipa inum kay baby na malamig ? Baka makasama kase sa tiyan. I wont give it cold, just asking. Thanks
