firstly, welcome to the bf family, give you , here is the support, don't worry.
my baby was born in St.Teresa , you are correct that private hospitals always encourage moms to give the babies formular, and bf is based on scheduled feeding( means every 3 or 4 hours)..
fortunately, i finally can breastfed my baby successfully, mainly due to the support by BK moms here, and a lot of the nurses, volunteer by the breastfeeding hotlines, as well the lactation consultant by public hosptial ( because my baby got newborn jaundice, i took him to check there finally... )
anyway, to answer your question, please see below:
我將會在私家醫院開刀生 bb，聽講私家醫院一定會幫媽o米補奶粉，想問可唔可要求醫院唔補奶粉，每晚都每三個小時叫醒我去餵奶呢？
** yes, you are correct, but you can discuss with the hospital first, firmly tell them what you want, request them to let you feed baby every 1 hour..
but as far as i know, Yan on hospital ( shatin), Baptist hospital , Kwong On ( Tsuen Wan ) can let moms breastfed babies unlimited time, you can check with them.
我又擔心因為開刀，開頭太痛餵唔到人奶，有無媽O米開刀生都能成功餵人奶呀？
** a lot of moms can still breastfed babies, it is not a problem. my bb was born naturally, so maybe the other moms can share their experiences with you.
開頭2日如果落唔到床，o甘可唔可以叫姑娘抱BB 比我餵人奶呢？
** it depends on the hospital, for labour naturally, only stay at bed 1 day, then you can walk to the babies' room to breastfed.
** yes, it is the case as mine. but you can tell them firmly before you confirm your booking with them.
如果夜晚較閙鐘又怕嘈醒隔離個媽咪，咁點好呢？
真係好多擔心，但又不想去政府生，因為我個醫生開刀手摯好好，我驚政府的無o甘好。
** don't worry too much, check with the private hospital first, and about breastfeeding techniques and knowledge, you can check the information made by Glad , on the top of the topics in this forum
Thank you very much for your sharing and encouragement.
I really really want to bf my baby all the whole 24 hours, but still nervous about that and no confidence of private hospitals at this moment. Yes, may be I have to check with the hospital first. Thank you!
preciousstone,
you are welcome, most of the moms here encountered a lot of difficulties when breastfeeding, and finally could overcome, the most importance is your faith, and you have to trust yourself that you can do it if you really want to do, and insist on it which you must sucess . when will be the due date?
suggest you also bring your hubby, your family member, like your mother or your mother-in-law to listen talks of breastfeeding beforehead, so that
they can also support you.
any question, please raise, and hope we can help you.
我是打算去 St. Paul 生的 (我醫生在 St. Paul 掛單)，我剛剛打過電話去問過，他們說每天有限住時間比媽o米餵奶，每天24小時最多都只是可以餵 6 餐，一定要按住他們編的時間表餵。我看過很多書本，即使是定時餵初生 BB，第一個月最少都要每天餵 8餐，有些書就直情叫人唔好定時間，總之 BB 想食就餵，無論那種方法，總之每天不可以餵太少次，否則上奶上得不好，日後就好容易無奶。
but cannosa is much much more expensive ma. Budget is my concern. and St. Paul nears to my doctor's clinic, near to my mother's home and my mother-in-law's home.
I guess I have to choose between St. Paul or Government (Queen Mary).
I gave birth to my son in St. Paul last year (he's one yr. old tomorrow ), hope my experience can help you.
I delivered naturally but yet, as I took too much "laughing gas" when giving birth, I felt faint and did not feed my BB on the first day.
Yes, I considered the nuuse/staff in St. Paul is not very supportive in breastfeeding. At that time, I was only allowed to feed my BB like about 4-5 times per day. All the mums sat in the feeding room but the nurse/staff provide little assistance on breastfeeding. They let you try, but did not check your posture/ help unless you asked for. In fact, most of the mum gave their BB formula after trying bf for a few minutes and the staff are very happy to this..... I was the only mum who insist not giving the formula and stayed the longest time in the feeding room (I felf I was the most unwelcome mum that time).
I have read some books and got lots of information from BK on BF before giving birth and I was quite determine. Since I was not able to feed my BB on the first day, I was worried. I talked to my son's pedi and he suggest only giving water to my son on the first day (coz baby do have some reserve and last for a few days). BTW, St. Paul use bottle and refuse to feed by spoon/cup. I also asked him about nipple confusion. His theory is, BB are adaptive and should have no problem on sucking mama's nipple, as long as the frequency of using bottle is not high. But if baby tried the formula first, which is more sweet, they may refuse the breastmilk. So, my BB just took water during his stay in the hospital except for the last milk during the 3rd night, coz his weight drop a bit and my milk supply still not established. When I went home on the fourth day, I started to feed my baby on demand. I went to the MCH and talked to the nurse on the fifth day and the situation became better and better.
I'm still bf my son now (though less than a meal coz my milk supply drop significantly after suffering busy work during last few months). Anyway, you can gain many support from BK and I suggest you can also go to the MCH to get more advice. I think babies are smart and they have the instinct of bf...... so, be determine and take it easy.
In Baptist, U can feed on demand (even at night) or follow their schedule !! u can decide to feed formula or not, and request cup feeding for formula (of course, the staff will be more happy if using bottle la !!!)

Preciousstone,
I delivered my baby at St. Paul last year. However, I did not encounter any problem and in fact, I found that they are quite support bf but you have to make the request.
I did not bf the first day as they don't recommend mom to bf the first day.
On 2nd day, I can't bf at 8:00am as they want me to watch the video first.
On 2nd day, I did supplement formula as I have no idea whether I have milk.
On 3rd day, I heard some bf moms informed the nurse NOT to feed formula, and call them whenever the babies cry. The nurse told them to come to feed baby by every 2 hours. So I follow the same practice.
At night, I did not do so as I want to sleep. Actually they did ask me whether I want to bf, I said no. So they gave formula to my son.
There is a nurse called '李姑娘' aged around 50 years old, wearing glass and a bit fat. She taught us a lot and very supportive in bf.
As we pay them, just make your request. Don't be shy.
Hi preciousstone,
I gave birth at HK Sanatorium & Hospital, C-section and I successfully breastfeeded my baby for 1 year. I gave birth at night so did not breastfeed that night. The next morning, the nurse gave me the baby to breastfeed on my bed. My wound was not painful until I try to get out of bed, however, the pain just last for 1 day, then I can jump up and down very soon.
I found the nurses quite supportive, they always asked me if I want to breastfeed whenever baby cries during the day. Except at night, they will give him gloucouse (or formula) because they said I need enough rest to produce milk. But I guess if I asked they would also let me breastfeed at night. I was very determined, so after I went home, I just breastfeeded him, and no formula. Baby will get to learn breast milk is the only food he will get and will learn how to get it.
Perhaps you can discuss with the hospital. My friend gave birth at a public hospital. She said they will put the baby next to your bed and you can breastfeed whenever you want.
Thank you very much for your advice. 我打電話問過 St. Paul 姑娘，她說每4小時才可以 bf BB 一次，我問如果 我餵得唔夠好，BB食唔飽，吃完一餐後個零鐘又喊，o甘我可唔可以再餵呀？她說要按時間餵，醫院不鼓勵媽o米 feed on demand，因媽媽要休息，BB也要休息！！都不知是什麼理論？BB 唔飽又點休息？我問佢如果真係好想餵，o甘醫院係唔係一定唔比，佢話o甘就要同兒科醫生講，即係話醫生話餵得先有餵。真係比佢激死！！
gigiso: 由於推胎對BB有某程度的危險性 (例如可能早產)，我不想 take 任何 risk，寧願自己受苦(我真係覺得自己好偉大。 )
I suggest you write a letter to the hospital to complaint them (as what I have did to the St. Teresa before). It is because I planned to delivery my BB in St. Teresa hospital and my research from BK's result is: St. Teresa not very support bf. I then write a letter to the hospital to complaint it and ask them to clarify such that I can decide whether I will go to their hospital or not.
Their department head reply me and ask me to contact a nurse in a senior position. The nurse explaint to me that their hospital support bf and ask me to contact her if I have any problem when I'm in the hospital. I'm the only one 100% bf my BB while other mum in the feeding room supplement the formula to their BB after bf for 5-10min. During the night, I request the nurse to use cup feed. So, by BB do not use bottle in the hospital. Maybe, my BB has already learn the sucking technique. I can bf well until now. I'm so lucky that my nipple is not hurt so far!!
Hi preciousstone,
Maybe you can send them a formal request / inquiry.
I don't know whether they change the policy, but there were around 5 moms including myself insist to feed by every2 hours, and they were OK with the arrangment.
Or you check with your 婦科 doctor, ask him / her to confirm with you.
至於開刀生,都冇影響我即刻BF BB.雖然我未落得床,QM姑娘會推BB,抱BB比我餵.但係私家就唔知得唔得,因好似ST TERESA的BB房同產婦病房都相距幾遠,唔知姑娘會唔會推BB出黎比你,因一般產婦要BF BB的話,佢地係要自己行去BB房隔離的育嬰室餵的.SO YOU BETTER CHECK with st. paul first.
), hope my experience can help you.
