Breastfeeding Part 18

[crookshanks]

thanks sis hun_nie08 and anamariavictoria. Mas naconvince ako not to start formula, which ayoko pa talaga sana. Medyo nagworry lang din ako sa weight ni baby.

[jelly_ace]

sis @_Aiah_ Thank you sa reply. Feel ko rin talaga no need for formula like if I do give my daughter some eh di naman na siya malakas uminom ng milk. So I don't think it would help with her weight gain. Nabasa ko rin sa kabilang thread about formula na some moms who gave formula na nirecommend ng pedia namin eh di rin nag-increase weight ng baby nila. I agree with the solid food kaya lang lately medyo mahirap siya pakainin. Gusto puro kanin lang. Kapag binigyan ko ng meat like chicken or pork niluluwa. Pero tiyagaan talaga para lang makakain.

sis @lordknight_aiz.18 I prefer fresh milk over formula because:
1. It's cheaper compared sa recommended formula ng pedia namin
2. More convenient (no need to measure and make timpla)
3. Less sugar para iwas tooth decay

[hun_nie08]

sis crookshanks Follow up milk for babies more than 1yo is not necessary naman kasi. Mas mahihirapan ka pang iwean sya.


Sis @jelly_ace pakainin mo sya madalas but in small amount, anong pinakain mo sa kanya during 6-1y dun kasi dapat dinedevelop ang taste buds nila para di maging picky eater ang mga bata.

My son is 15 months old. He eats solids well. I also give him fresh milk, sometimes formula in a straw cup. How to wean him off the breast? I really dont mind breastfeeding till 2 years old or even beyond kaso he pulls my shirt whenever he wants my milk kaya parang gusto ko na mag wean.

Ano bang benefits ng child led weaning over parent led?

Hi! first time mom here! I gave birth last Sept 29, and 1st visit namin kay pedia Oct. 7. My son then was only 9days old nag advice kagad sya na bigyan namin si baby ng vitamins si baby ng Oct. 9. (cherifer). Ask lang mga mommies, what old binigyan baby nyo ng vitamins? Breastfeed kami since day one.

[annamarie88]

^sis, WHO & DOH recommends na only breastmilk hanggang 6 months si baby. My baby almost 5 months, ebf. Never inadvise ng pedias na nakausap ko to take vits.

Unless nakita ni pedia na deficient sa vitamins si baby mo. Hmmm find a pedia na bf advocate.

[anamariavictoria]

Hi sis itsmarie07! Sis annamarie88 is right. Breastmilk should be sufficient for your little all the way 'til his 6th month unless he is proven to have deficiencies.

My baby was prescribed Nutrilin from birth but since we weren't comfortable giving vitamins at such an early age, we didn't follow through and switched pedias instead.

Hi mga sis, ive been in girltalk for awhile now. pero first time mommy here! kaya ito na ako sa thread ng pang babies. Anyways, my tanong lang ako regarding our little one.. my daughter is almost 3 weeks old this Wednesday. She loves to sleep, and sometimes I have to wake her up na (after 3-4 hours of sleep) para lang i-feed sya. Is that okay, or should I wait until she wakes up na lang? Btw, yay for us who are EBF!

Also, napapnsin ko na she also falls asleep pag asa breast ko. I kinda want to train her na ma satsify rin sya bottle with my breastmilk of course, or is that too early to do?

Thanks in advance mga mommies! :*

Hi mommy oranak! I think pag below 8 weeks pwede naman gisingin every 4 hours. Anak ko kasi IUGR (very small baby!) kaya ineffort ko na gisingin siya dati every 3 hours nung below 8 weeks siya. Hanggang sa nafrustrate kami parehas kasi gigisingin ko siya tapos di naman dedede kasi antok na antok kaya ginawa kong every 4hours na. Tapos nung mga 4 months na siya nakaalarm ako ng after 5 hours para just in case lang na lumagpas na siya, ako na ang gigising. Usually naman, siya ang gumigising sakin. Then tinigil ko lang yung paggising sakanya ng every 5 hours sa gabi nung 6 months na siya.

Normal lang ang makatulog ang baby while breastfeeding kasi they are so comforted by us. Recommended na magbottle/pump lang at least after 6 weeks pa. Baka din kasi manipple confused si baby saka para di naman ikaw ma-engorged.

Have fun sis!!! sobrang saya ng breastfeeding...it's the pumping that I really hate! But they have to go hand-in-hand kung nagttrabaho.

[zira]

^ sis true and sarap maging padede girl haha. kaya ang hirap bumalik sa office pag monday or after a long vacation/holiday dahil back to pumping momma na naman. pero kiber na para sa ekonomiya! haha

goodluck oranak on your bf journey!

[marssie]

Wow part 18 na pala, 3 years ago panay rin ako silip at post sa thread ng BF 3 years old na si bunso next month and nadede pa rin siya sa akin, pero malakas na ring mag solid

[MrsLuluyz]

my son is now 31 months, started to mix feed at 22 months. feeling ko comfort feeding na lang sya ngayon sakin. di ko na nafifeel na me milk pa ako. he latches early in the morning around 6AM, asked for Nido at around 7-8 AM kung anong oras sya magising. during nap time he will drink nido first then lalatch sya sakin, comfort feeding na until he fells asleep. before sleeping ulit nido uli and latch. kung magigising sa middle of the night comfort feeding nanaman. gusto ko na ngang istop but i just let him be. pero kung ma distract ko sya na wag na mag dede sakin during the day nagagawa ko naman, pero rare yun. as much as gusto ko pa syang i breastfeed, gusto ko na talaga istop, pero ang hirap grabe. he doesnt eat solids pa. as in ayaw niya talaga. kalokang bata. kahit hindi ko sya bigyan ng nido hindi pa din sya kakain kahit alam kong gutom na gutom na gutom na sya. hay

[preggygielian]

^Sis ang galing mo naman nakapag-bf ng ganyan katagal Great job mommy! You have such a sweet son! May I ask sis kung sinasabay niyo siya sa dining table pag kakain na? Baka mas gusto niyang kanin mga food niyo instead of his separate food din.

[sky_butterfly17]

been experiencing low milk supply lately. LO is 7 1/2 months na. No urine output overnight kahit naka latch sa kin. does this mean wala sya nakukuha milk from me?

[Vans]

^sis, ilang instances na di wet ang diaper ni baby overnight?

[mslcgrey]

^^ nangyari na rin sa baby ko yan. bumabawi naman siya sa pagwiwi pagkagising. i mentioned it to our pedia and she said once in a while ok lang. basta may output pa rin pagkagising. may times din during the day while napping wala din siyang urine output pero pagkagising grabe naman.

[MrsLuluyz]

preggygielian - thank you sis! medyo hirap na din! i try na din na ipasleep sya na hindi nag lalatch. minsan success, minsan hindi magwawala talaga hehe. pero normally pag napagalitan ko, no latching. ito nakasleep sya now na walang latching, naubos lang niya nido niya.

yes always naman namins iya kasabay kumain since he started with solids nun 6 months. he eats any food naman talaga. around 9 months sya, lumipat kami sa sarili namin place. ayun he started na tanggihan ang food. as in hirap na hirap ako. he just eats soup, noodles and sopas. oatmeal and champorado. tapos dumating yung time na minsan ayaw niya din. nakakakain lang sya meat these days pag me lumpiang shanghai. ayaw nya talaga as in, kala mo nilalason, kaya pagnanghingi ng food, like bread, bili ako agad habang gusto niya. makakaubos sya ng at least 2 burger bun, walang palaman. nastress ako super im praying that he'll soon start eating na di ko na lang mashado pinupush, hihingi at hihingi din siguro sya. pero every time we eat kasabay pa rin namin sya, at tinatry ko pa din subuan, pero yung ipipilit ko sa mouth di ko ginagawa baka matrauma eh

[preggygielian]

sis sky_butterfly17, may times din na hindi basa ang nappy ng baby ko pagkagising. Nung unang beses nagpanic ako pero after a few minutes pagkagising ang dami naman wiwi. Nakakalimutan ko din itanong sa pedia yan pero quite rare naman siya. About low milk supply, yung sakin bumaba din around 7 months. pag nagpump ako grabe mga 2.5oz nalang eh dati mga 4-6oz. What I did, nagstart ako mag power pump (20m pump + 10m rest + 10m pump + 10m rest + 10m pump) ng 3 days, 2x a day tapos after nun araw araw din akong medyo powerpump (20m pump + 10m rest + 10m pump). Nakakaipon na ako ng up to 2 days advance. sana bumalik na supply mo...grabe kastress noh!

sis MrsLuluyz, minsan napapaisip din ako eh pag natigil na ang pag bf, how it feels - will I be sad, will I miss it...haha! Pero sana hindi pa siya mangyare until at least 12 months siya. Sana sis kumain na ng solids baby mo para di ka na mastress. Yung niece ko dati, pag mag-isa niya ayaw kumain pero pag susubuan ko minsan ayaw, minsan gusto. pag ayaw niya...inuuto ko nalang na "what is the sound of letter A" hahaha edi mag "Ah!" ayun..subo naman siya. Minsan ata kelangan aliwin muna mga kids.

hayy.. i'm thinking of changing my pedia na. went for my lo's checkup last week and pinuna na naman yung weight ni baby. she's almost 11 months and weight 7.5 kgs. She's again suggesting formula pero sabi ko ayaw ko pa sana. We found out that na may thalassemia din ako, na dun nakuha ni baby. She prescribed me some vitamins to take pero feeling ko by next visit pag di pa rin malaki ang igain ni baby she will asked me to give formula na..  Meron ba sa niyo na may certain condition si baby na they have to take formula instead of BM? She said to me pa na "breastmilk is not enough". might go to another pedia for 2nd opinion. do you have any pedia reco here sa Asian or dito sa South?

[_AiaH_]

^ go for a breastfeeding advocate pedia. kasi usually ang babies when they are very active, mababa talaga ang weight. since she's 11 months, focus on solids din kasi my pedia said na once babies are active na, hindi na enough na milk lang dapat talaga tandem na with nutritious solid foods para maintained ang weight.

join breastfeeding pinays fb group sis. marami dun ang makaka pagadvice better sayo lalo na you have medical condition pala.
