i left hospital in day 5, and my girl left in day 8. my girl suction power not good and cant drink well even use the bottle, now 3 mth only drinks 3oz.
I use Medela Pump form Day 3 until now, still can pump out milk.
Drink more FISH SOUP, HAVE MORE MEAT and drink
MILK, can increase your supply. Now, I drink milk more than i was pregnant.
牛秋魚 works ga, my mum boil this soup when I was in 6-7 month boiled with tomatos or papaya also works ga.
Beside which pump u use, i rent Medela - Symphony cost approx 1000 for 3 month, it works very well, after works i use medela mini electric, but Symphony works much much better than mini electric. I decide to keep hiring Symphony and use at home and mini electric to use at office. If you really want to have Ma Ma's milk,and can afford the cost, hire a professonal pump instead of use the mini one, it can stimulates the supply.
hi babyanson
be relax yourself. i was very stubborn during my 1st delivery. i insisted breatfeeding x my bb, so i was very sad when he refused my breast 1st 2 days. i didn't give him any bottle milk, then he was willing to suck finally. is it right or good? i don't know but i think my stubborn really makes me very down then. later on, i found that breastfeed is good but it is not a must! and not the only way! bottle feed doesn't mean bb will not be healthy, right? your mood is the most important issue to concern, otherwise it is not good to both of you & bb. you can take the advices of the bk sisters and continue your effort. even it fails, it doesn't indicate you are not a good mother!
also, i believe the amount of milk production really varies on different individual. don't be too stubborn!
anyway, i really wish you can suceed! :lol: :lol:
if more times ur back suck, the much more amount milk you can get. and also dont worry, you will have more later on.
my baby was born in May and i found that my milk is not enough for her and add formular milk. But in the 2nd month, i have milk surplus , no need to add formular milk and can store some in refrigerator. So, dont give up, try ur best la. All BF mamas said drink more water wor ...
