Breastfeeding Part 18

[evilwoman]

^thanks marose.i know i shouldnt obsess on it kaso im one of the rare people na hirap talaga magproduce ng milk - baby wasn't peeing/pooping as expected during the first week due to insufficient supply kaya todo effort talaga para dumami ang milk.buti na lang nagkukusa yung ob na icontact ako from time to time.kung hindi e baka nagfformula na kami ngayon.

hi sis kreez git the Cimilre M1 too! Super excited to use it! Kaso baka sa July/August ko pa magamit kasi sa June pa ako due. Buti na lang the warranty starts when you begin using it.

BTW, I'm currently on my 7th month. yung iba daw may nagle-leak na na colostrum ako wala pa. saka my nipples and areola are dry as in nagbabalat pa kaya nilalagyan ko sya ng moisturizer. Sana hindi ibig sabihin nito, konti ang mapo-produce kong milk after I give birth Ano experience nyo sises? Thank you!

[marose17]

^ Leaking is not a gauge of milk supply.  So long as you nurse your child on demand and do not supplement, your body will produce enough milk.

@ sis evilwoman nako sis sorry to worry you hehe, yun naman 400 ml puro pump lang kasi nga nasa office ako so hindi sakin nagdede si baby 3 times na pump yun (sinasabayan ko kasi ang oras ng feeding ni baby sa house)

ok na medyo kumalma na ako hehe, nagkamali lang pala ako ng compute, hilo sa puyat hehe, saktong sakto pala yung milk output ko kasi baby drinks around 130-150ml per feed.  My last direct feeding sa morning eh 7am so next feeding nya from the bottle is at 10am then at 1pm then again at 4pm, tapos next feeding nya nasa house na ako so sakin na ulit.  So sa 3 feeding nya around 400ml nga sya habang nasa yaya.  wheew.... nataranta lang ako kahapon...

@sis chocoholic88 nako super satisfied talaga ko sa kanya, I've been using it for almost 3 months na and i'm very satisfied.  Godbless on your pregnancy...

Sissies, may nakaexperience na ba sa inyo ng one year after manganak (breastfeeding) tsaka nagkaperiod ulit, tapos nagkamens ng three consecutive months tapos tumigil nanaman ang mens (still breastfeeding at 14months). Possible bang mag stop ulit ang mens? (Yippiee!! sana nga nag stop ulit but unless buntis nanaman ako naku po )

[shoutingwind]

In my experience, naging irregular talaga yung mens ko kaya naka ilang "pregnancy scare" din kami. haha!! Hindi na sya bumalik sa dati eh. minsan nag skip ng months. tapos hindi din ayos yung haba ng period.

better check na lang para sure na hindi ka buntis.

[marssie]

^Haha, thanks sis, that is exactly what im feeling right now okay lang naman sa akin mapreggy sana kaso iniisp ko may lakwatsa pa kami sa December at pag nabuntis ako di ako makakasama, but seriously, what bothers me most is dahil maselan ako magbuntis, kailangan ko ng iwean si bunsoy Just few weeks back nag nursing strike siya na akala ko nag self-weaned na, sobra akong nasad at nadepress, then after one week naging okay na till now tulad na siya ng dati na pag nakikita ako sabik na sabik na ulit mag unlilatch   Anyway, thanks again sis, i'll wait for few days pa, then mag pi-PT na ako..

[shoutingwind]

marssie, sabay ba tayo noon na buntis? 2011? tama ba? o nasundan na yung sayo?

Nag wean na baby ko last year (november). ngayon ginagawa na lang nya laruan ang boobs ko.. tapos sinasabi.. "no more milk, mommy! its all gone!"

Hahah! I was able to bf her for 2 years and 2 months.

[marssie]

^Nauna ka sis Dec ako nanganak.  Wow, ang cute! haha:D  Paano siya nagwean? Basta na lang di na siya naglalatch? Di ka ba nahirapan? Hindi ba nag engorge ang breast mo?

Nilalampirot rin ng son ko isang breast ko habang nakalatch sa kabila, one time nga nagulat ako kasi tumalsik sa face ko, nakaharap kasi pataas ang nipple sa akin

Ako din sana at least 2 years, kaya nga ayaw ko muna sana magbuntis ulit.

[Jaguar.Paw]

kainggit naman mga sis natin dito na ebf. im still on my 22W pero plan ko na talaga kay bf at na discuss ko na din kay OB. ill start taking malunggay capsules pag 8months na and hopefully makapag bf din like others here at least 1y/o

[shoutingwind]

marssie, i have to admit na it was a bit selfish yung reason ko to wean. It was not entirely her idea. Nahihirapan na kasi ako (back problems.. yada yada yada). So I decided pag 2 na sya i will stop. Pero hindi pa din eh...Mahirap awatin. Kaya sabi ko "sige na lang... kahit abutin ng college" LOLS!

Pero nung November 2013, I had to travel. Weekend lang naman. So Ayun, napilitan sya huminto. She cried the first 2 days. Tinataas pa damit ng yaya nya. HEHE!! naghahanap talaga ng boobs. Pag balik ko, Day 3, Naglalambing sya. Sabi ko lang... baby, it hurts. Mommy has awwie. -- sagot nya: ohhh mommy, its ok...its ok.. LOL!

di na sya nag try ulit. Ngayon pag nakahiga na kami at nahahawakan nya..sinasabi nya... DUDU!!! mommy dudu!! pero hindi na sya nag aattempt mag latch. kasi nga no more milk na daw.

(problem ko, ayaw na nya mag milk ever, kahit anong milk!!)

Jaguar.Paw -- good luck! One day at a time. I challenged myself then na at least 6 months! Dumating ang 6 months at ayaw na mag stop ni baby so go na lang ako ng go until (see above!)

Just sharing. I did not breastfeed exclusively. My babies were born premature 33 weeks. i had eclampsia which made the problem worse, they had to give me medicines that resulted to NO breastfeeding. If i wont take them, I can die. I was so stressed, imagine i had seizures after giving birth. That alone was stressful because i had to see so many doctors. OB, Endocrinologist, cardiologist. Those medicines had a bad effect after a month of taking them regarding my milk production. i pumped and dumped. A month after i had to hire a lactation consultant because I had to give them my own breastmilk. A very good friend of mine also just gave birth at that time and thanks to her, my babies ha dbreastmilk. she was like their second mother. and i didnt have a yaya during those times. imagine having twins with no yaya? but i did not surrender. mix feeding man sila, i am confident that they drank my milk. regardless of the amount they had. i did tandem feed. feeling ko hindi enough and milk first of all twins sila second konti lang talaga ako magmilk. and do not argue with me when i say konti lang talaga ako magmilk bec everyday ilang beses ako nagatatndem feed. i also used medela swing maxi. so for mommies who feel guilty when they cannot bf exclusively, just imagine what i had to go through

[shooting_star]

marssie, buti ka after one year pa nagkaperiod. Ako bumalik na period ko at 6 months. Pero same as you, naging irregular na. May months na nagsi-skip. We're still ebf at 11 months, malakas parin magmilk si baby.

[Jaguar.Paw]

mga sis totoo ba na pag nag BF e hindi o matagal bago magkaperiod ulit at maliit ang chance na mabuntis kasi hindi fertile?

[vain_kixie]

I know of a lot of people believing in that na hindi mabubuntis daw pag ng bbreastfeed, ayun nabuntis ng di oras, like 4 months or 6 months palang baby nila buntis na agad.


Are breast shells really helpful? Yan kasi nakalimutan ko bilin sa states. Ang taas naman ng patong dito at 1500 eh 12usd lang yung avent and 16usd yung medela.

[shoutingwind]

^^ hindi ka magkakaperiod agad pero you have to be careful pa din. At least six months "safe" pa. Pero case to case din.
I know a friend na barely a year nabuntis agad kahit ebf at irregular na yung period.

[marssie]

^shoutingwind, Lol! sis nakakarelate ang sister ko na siyang nag aalaga ngayon sa son ko sa yaya mo, madalas ding gawin ng son ko sa kanya lalo na pag naalimpungatan at siya ang katabi nagugulat nalang siya sumusubsob daw hehe.  May time din na inooffer naman ng sis ko breast niya, lalapit lang son ko at kukurutin sabay tawa at alis  sabi nga niya kilala ng son ko ang breast ko Okay na yun sis at least naka two years ka na, naku malaking achievement na yun for me pag nagkataon. At first sabi ko 6months, then one year, now still counting.. ang hirap ngang bitawan

And yes, i had my 1st period 4days after my son turned one saya saya lang almost two years akong walang mens (kasama na ang pagbubuntis )

By the way, i have my period na, kadarating lang kanina   Tama ka nga. Wala nga sa ayos ang haba ng period, 47days to exact late ang period ko today.  Kinukulit ko pa si hubby kahapon bumili ng PT kit kasi nga dumating na yung order ko na Earth Mama's tea, nabasa ko bawal sa buntis kaya sabi ko kailangan kong magcheck, buti nalang hindi siya nakabili

[shoutingwind]

marssie, ang hirap din pag nag wean na kasi nawawala yung emotional attachment. na mimiss ko sya. HAHA!! Kaya ikaw, enjoy every minute of it kahit nakakapagod na.

yay!! pregnancy scare sucks. haha!! pero ako parang I want one na ulit. its time. para bago man lang ako mag 40. (yaiks! may pag amin ng edad!!)

[Jaguar.Paw]

parang ang saya non walang period for a long time kahit babae ako, hate na hate ko ang period lalo na ang feeling ng may period. eww. lol pero di naman kayo nagkakacramps?

effective ba yung mga massage massage para ma stimulate breastmilk?

[marssie]

^Ako hindi sis, saya saya talaga. Ngayon back to normal nanaman ako pag nagkakamens, irritable, pimple,

Just wondering, may nabasa ako dito dati pero gusto ko lang sana ulit ng idea , since baby is eating well naman na, pag ba once a day nalang ako mag pump, i know makakahina ng milk since i work from 7am to 4:30pm so 6:30 to 5 kong hindi kasama si baby, almost 11 hours, hindi ba ako magkaka plugged ducts/mastitis?  This whole month of May kasi maassign ako sa isang klase ng work na swerte ng maisingit ko ang isang beses na pagpapump, Plus mawawalan na ako ng pumping area as work place ko na lang isisingit ang pagpa-pump.  But for the month of May magiging sobrang busy ako na halos di na ako makakapag stay sa area ko  

I dont really worry on my supply kasi gusto naman ni baby ng freshmilk, importante lang sa akin at least sa isang araw may two bottles ng breastmilk ko siyang mainom then unlilatch na kami sa magdamag. Worried lang ako talaga na baka yung effect sa akin, takot ako sa plugged ducts/mastitis.  Ano kaya pwede kong gawin to avoid such problems.
