dear bk breastfed mama,
i'm quite frustrated about breastfeeding. i think my milk amount is not enough x bb + he's lasy to suck after short time (either angry or sleep) :-( i have tried my best to do it but still fail. i usually use syringe to supplememt the milk powder to him. he used to be ok , but becomes impatient recently. i don't know how to do ! :-(

do you believe the amount of milk depends on different mama? i'd tried very hard to stimulate my milk production, but still not enough x bb. :-( also, my bb weight gain is not very good( i suppose although dr said it's ok)~ 0.88 lbs more at 24days. i want to give up la. i'll continue 埋身餵 each meal then add formula(use bottle) once he refuse to suck. i think it's better to both of us. :-|
早晨BB,
BB食得都好好喎! 放心!!
你怕BB唔飽就自己多食2個snacks..多食calories..
BB滿月之後至俾BB用Bottle feed, 咪好易有{乳頭混淆}.
除非BB 每日得少於6條濕片, 有便祕, 同脫水現象, skin to skin少於5分鐘+每餐相隔少於1.5hours 就要補 infant formula (嬰兒配方)-->香港人叫"奶粉".
hkjody,
How many times you feed your baby every day?
How long did you feed at each feeding?
How much calories you take everyday?
Do you eat well?
Do you drink coffee, tea, chocolate, soda or alcohol everyday?
How many glass of water, soup and milk you take everyday?
How many pound when you baby born and the weight now?
If you did give your baby formula as supplement after each breast feeding, and your baby only gain 0.88lbs at Day 24th. It really shows some problem.
Didn't the nurse or doctor in the health clinic mention it to you before??
As the info which you mention to me are very limited, I need more information from you.. ok?
Anyway, sit back and relax, we will fix it.. for you and your baby!
Look forward to hear from you..

thanks x yr reply. you can type chinese wor if you're convenience. i feed my bb ~8-9 times/day,every 2-2.5hr.sometimes, he can suck 10-15mins on one breast then ~5-10mins on the other.(x very good performance.) however, sometimes he is willing to suck 5mins on each breast only, then get angry. i think my diet is ok, adequate fluid intake(more than 12 cups fluid per day), all the tea, coffee etc is excluded. my bb'birth weight was 3.25kg and he was 3.68 kg on day 24. the dr of health clinic commented it's ok and i suppose it's a bit slow. thus, i'm keen to give formula to him.(by bottle). i'd tried to pump after feeding in order to stimulate milk flow, but no more milk can be pumped ,just several ml by squeezing only.
