Babies due on THIRD QUARTER OF 2016 (JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER) - Thread 2

[Jeannybaby]

@crzysxycl normal yan sa start 1oz tapos as you go along dadami yan. Normal din ang hiccups according to my baby's pedia, pag bottlefed. My baby hiccups a lot too! Ang issue ko lang sa formula is parang mas less nagpoopoop ang baby ko.

Agree with sis macheoc wag ka magpapa-pressure kasi there are things we can't control. As much as gusto ko mag pure bm,
currently i'm mixed feeding with formula and breastmilk pero mas marami formula as i don't have a lot of supply pa. Minsan 50-50 ang formula and bm, minsan mas marami formula. 

Also even if dami nagsasabi na kelngn mag pump daw after 6 weeks pa, i didn't follow that na anymore, 1 week pa lang nagpump na ako! nipple confusion my butt, hindi naman ako papayag na magutom baby ko-- even lactation consultants can't get her to latch sakin because of nipple issues. But i really tried, and nagkaron pa ako ng postpartum gestational hypertension which didn't help! i still do believe in breastfeeding but sabi nila, mas kelangan ng baby ang happy and well na mommy kaysa sa breastmilk. ☺️

120515 you are walking proof of a healthy formula fed baby very reassuring to know!

sis belle, go din ako sa pag sama ng FB page. what's the name?

[aylatskie]

My breasts were engorged once only. So na proved Ko na I have a low supply of milk. Hindi Ko na ipipilit ang pag BF, I guess it won't make me less as a mother naman siguro. I still pump though pero pa konti konti na lang talaga. Nakaka frustrate  pag di ka maka BF especially if you planned it pero Kung talagang if you can't then wag na ipilit mommies.
Question: ano gagawin if sinisinok si  baby?

[Which is Witch?]

Di pa ako nakapagbackread ng bongga.
Namiss kl magbasa dito! 😊

Congrats sis crzysxycl! Sa engorgement, hand express nga if ayaw mo pa magpump.pero ako nagpupump talaga ko. Kasi baka lagnatin ako sa sobrang sakit paghindi ko nilabas yung milk.

Sis belle, ok din ako sa merge sa fb group. Mas active ang mga tao sa fb. Pa join😊

Sis aylatskie,ilang weeks na baby m? Ganyan nga din ako nung nasa ospital, gusto ko na iformula ang baby ko, pero ang ginawa nila mung wala pa kong milk,binigyan nila nung stored breastmilk. Ako na nagsasabi nun na patak lang nalabas sakin nun, baka madehydrate baby ko. Pero pinilit padin. Hehe. Sis pagsinisinok si baby, iniintay ko lang mawala, or kapag matagal na tas meron padin, pinapadede ko na sakin since bawal pa magwater. Sabi ni pedia, need i burp para si magsinok. Eh minsan nahihirapan ako paburpin sya. Struggle talaga. Hehe

Sis jeanny, ako din, hindi ko sinunod yung after 6 weeks. 1month palang si baby pero nagipon na ko stock, para pagpasok ko sa office di siya maubusan.

Ako exclusive breastfeed padin ang baby after 1 month. wala din ako iniinom na supplement. Yung paglatch lang ni baby sakin ang nakakapagmaintain ng supply ko.and  I just feed my baby on demand. Walang oras oras.hehe. Tapos pump ako kapag may time. Hindi consistent ang pagpupump.

I understand mommies na nagformula, i will do the same din naman kung wala talaga ko BM. Kesa madehydrate ang baby ko diba.

Let me know yung link ng fb group sissies ha.😊

[SARAHnghae]

hi mga sis! 37 weeks na ko. nag leave na ko sa work. buti na lang pumayag sa office na LOA muna ako, then start ng ML pag nanganak na ko. yun nga lang unpaid, pero i work from home naman.

sis belle -naku madami nga ako nababasa sa fb groups na pinapagalitan yung nagfo-formula fed moms. nakaka-bad vibes nga minsan. i think ok lang din merged fb group for GT mommies. the more the merrier. lol

ilang weeks ba kayo nanganak mga sis? excited na kami ni hubby. wala pa kasi ako nararamdaman. kahit contractions nga di ko ma-feel. nasasabi ko lang na nagcocontract siya kapag hinawakan ko tummy ko tapos matigas. pero wala talaga ko nararamdamang pain.

congrats sis crzysxycl! sino naman kaya next magpopost ng birth story

[aylatskie]

Sis which 3 weeks pa lang baby ko. Kasi nga bawal daw ang water pero Kung formula fed naman okay Lang daw yata (not sure though).

[cheniwin]

sissies! admitted nun thurs then gave birth 22nd and kakadischarged lang namin Monday 25th 5days sa hospital
seems true na pag 2nd cs mo mas masakit, i wasnt able to bf baby kaya i signed waiver na magformula sya first 2 days, ang tagal ng recovery ko kahit may pain killers na i was in so much pain,it was an ordeal na kakalimutan ko na since finally baby girl is here na.
Feverish ako before kami umuwi because of engorge breast,turo sakin nun which works naman is hot compress or hot towel massage mo sa breast mo, then palatch lang ng palatch,habang nadede si baby feel un hard lump sa breast and try to squeeze it sabi nga dapat madurog daw un,once you get through that phase ok na, need na lang mag bf and pump regularly at least every 3 hours. I build stash from the milk I pumped.
I use bottle,kung ayaw ni baby sa cup. Not all bf journey ay same,templated na un mga iniinsist ng iba, as mommy tayo nakakaalam what's best for both of us ng baby natin,kung madedepress tayo and mastress mafifeel din ni baby un Happy Mommy means happy baby kaya let's not be pressured masyado sa mga dapat ganito ganyan iniinsist ng ibang tao.
Read tayo, and follow advice that works for us, kaya nga nageexist mga groups like GT

Best of luck mommies, kaya natin toh,we will only go through this phase once sa buhay ni baby love kaya dapat happy lang tayo! God bless us always.

Hi third quarter mommies, here's the link to our page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1012271422186642/

[ferrerorocher]

Hi mga sis! I'm on my 37th week na.  Last Saturday check-up with OB.
IE nya ko & 1 cm pa lang.  Kayo gaano katagal pa since 1 cm?
After nya ko IE, may konting blood ang discharge ko for 2 days. Sabi nya normal lang daw.
Tinanong ko din kung okay lang mag-take ng malunggay capsules. Pwede na daw.

[120515]

sis cheniwin, congratulations on your new baby! i hope you're feeling better now. what you said about bf journey is very true - it will be different from mom to mom.

sis ferrerorocher, you're nearly there. will pray for your safe delivery, sis!

sis belle, thanks for the link. i've requested to become a member already. looking forward to reading more tips and stories from everyone

[ferrerorocher]

Thanks sis 120515.

Ok pa rin ba to report to work kahit 1 cm na?  My EDD is August 13.
Wala pa rin naman advise si OB to take a leave.  Next Saturday check-up ko ulit.
Sabi kasi dito sa office, dapat mag-leave na daw ako.

I will join the FB group din.

[aylatskie]

I also joined the group. Waiting for approval mga sis. Thank you.

[crzysxycl]

Jeannybaby - thanks sis! anong pump gamit mo sis? ang konti ng nakukuha ko sa manual pump ko. mas dadami kaya makukuha ko if i buy an electric pump? sabi ni hubby bili na raw kami, kaso di pa ko confident sa milk supply ko kaya kung makakatulong ang electric pump para dumami bm ko, bili na kami. ako rin sis nag pump nung naengorged breasts ko, natakot ako magka mastitis.

aylatskie - sabi sa akin ng pedia sis isang cause kung bakit naghiccups is hindi napaburp ng maayos si baby. pwede rin na may air kasama pag dumedede sila. sabi lang nya mag take daw si baby ng water in between formula feeding.

which is witch - salamat sis! ang galing, purely bm iniinom ni baby mo. sana magawa ko rin yan. re pagburp kay baby, hirap di ako dito. mas madalas pa sya mag fart kesa mag burp lol. sis may technique ba sa pag latch? problem ko to everytime eh. once kasi makuha na ni baby nipples ko, dedede lang sya konti tas bibitawan nya then hahanapin nya uli kaso pahirapan eh tapos iiyak na sya. eh naaawa ko kasi baka kabagan kakaiyak.

sarahnghae - thanks sis! wow lapit ka na rin. ingat lagi.

cheniwin - congrats sis!

ferrerorocher - sis ako nung 1cm, lumagpas pa ng 1 week bago ko nanganak.

belle - thanks sa link sis.

[damonsgirl]

^sis nanood ako ng pumping videos sa youtube. Mas malakas nga talaga pag electric pump vs manual

[stylus]

Wow sis belle!! Exclusive for Q3 mommies lang ba ang group? hehe.

[emjeyeyey]

Hi mommies!!!! I am reading here when I was pregnant pa and I gave birth last July 1st ❤️❤️❤️❤️ BF po sya saken ngayon and I am planning to go back to work in mid August, I am also planning to take my electric breastpump with me. Hehe. I want to breastfeed her as much as possible until 6 months. Is there a group here for moms? Or in facebook? Please add me po.

[crzysxycl]

Thanks sis damonsgirl!

Request sent to join the group din. Thanks mommies!

[Jeannybaby]

congrats cheniwin! sunod sunod na nanganganak 😊

sis crzy, meron ako both manual (medela) and electric (spectra 9+) effective naman pareho sakin.

I bought electric kasi nakakangawit na yung mag manual pero ang gusto ko naman sa manual i can do other things pa while pumping kasi i have one free hand, pag electric naman yung dual pump i have to hold both in place the whole time and inaantok ako hehe. Pero mas mabilis electric makapuno 😊 Dadami din yung milk mo as long as you pump more or latch more from baby!

[crzysxycl]

^Thank you sis. 😄 Oo nga nakakangawit yung manual. 😔 Minsan tuloy naguiguilty ako kasi tinatamad na ako magpump, though gustong gusto ko dumami supply ko. Kailangan ko na bumili talaga ng electric.
