I will give birth in early September in Baptist Hospital, plan to have a full-bf bb but my friend told me that I will not have sufficient milk for my bb during the first several days and it's a must to supplement with milk powder in the hospital, I want to avoid milk powder if I can. What's other mamas' experience and can you please advise.
I have been breastfeeding to my baby for 9 months, he just reached 10 months today. at the beginning, i also gave him formular sometimes until i have learned a lot of valuable advices from those experienced mothers here.
I also gave birth to my baby in private hospital( St.Teresa), but they do not recommand bf much, every time you feed your baby, the nurse will tell you to give your baby formular because your milk has not yet come or "established". also they have their schedule to feed baby, like every 4 hours.
so don't follow this, should tell your hospital that you will feed your baby base on his needs, go to the feeding room without fixing the time.
also, do not give him the formular, as i know, for new born, it is still okay if you do not feed him much within 72 hours after born, as they already got enough nutriation from mother before born.
I will give birth at early September too, in St. Teresa Hospital. My colleague do ask me to request and stand firm to give bf to my new born baby....work hard and give the best nutrient to the baby
