worrying poor mom

I am a poor mom. i have been BFing my baby for 1.5 mth. I could not build up my milk bank, so I give my baby formula at midnights. . I pump 2-3 times/day ( average 3 oz/time) and direct BF my baby the rest of the day. I am following the suggestions of BK mom's as much as I can, such as taking soup, water, soya bean juice every day and pumping/BF at the same time..... However, I am disappointed that I have not been able to save any buffer.

I will be going back to work two weeks later and will keep on pumping and BF as much as I can. However, I am afraid that the milk production will drop and I end up giving up BF. Any suggestions that I can increase milk production?

:cry: :cry:

Re: worrying poor mom

Monaho：
1。I think you need self-confidence. I can only pump 2 oz/time when my baby was at 1.5 months old. However, my baby ate no fomula then. At night, my baby just kept sucking for hours (sometimes 4 hours) before he went to sleep.
I was once worry that the prolonged sucking indicated that my milk production was poor, I also wondering that time wether my baby needed formula. But I insisted not using any fomula because midnight should be the "golden time" for our body to produce milk.
Therefore I feel that the midnight formula might "decrease" your milk production. Could you add formula during the day or just quit the formula.
BF our babies at late night is very hard, but the babies' sucking is the best way to increase production. Also, you might try feeding your baby at bed. The lying down position might be a relief.
2. Have you tried to "pump" milk by hands? It works even better than AVENT or MEDELA. I found that only hand-pumping with massage can "clear" the stocks in my breast. If your breast is not soft enough after feeding or pumping, you might clear your breast by hands so that the production will increast very soon.
Just belive yourself and we are supporting you all the time!

Re: worrying poor mom

in fact, i am pumping at 0300 now, after feeding my baby formula milk. I did try to direct BF at midnight at the very beginning, unfortunately, I did not know how much he took and he kept crying more till sun rise. I was so tiring and I lost energy to feed him in the daytime. So, I turned to formula milk so as to give him/myself good sleep. :-(

One more problem keep worrying me is that I still not able to tell if my baby has enough from direct BF. I force him to suck 1 hr max( sometime from one breast/sometime both). He always cries after 30 mins later and ask for more. It has been 1.5 mths, I am not able to tell if my son has enough supply from me. It is so frustrating and tiring. Do you have the same experience and what should I do?

Re: worrying poor mom

Me the same, my bb doesn't want to suck my softand empty breast. I can't feel the suckling from bb, he is just like licking me. It's very difficult to wake him up, I try to wake him up and he seems to open his mouth but when I put him to my soft breast, he will sleep, He can never continue to suck with effort for 15 mins on one breast. Unless my breast is full, he will suck for longer.

I just don't understand why it is so difficult to get increase in the supply, i have been BF and pumping together for more than 10 times a day but it still doens't work for me. More formula is added day by day, originally only 2-3 oz, sometimes I didn't add but I am sure my bb can take more than what i am supplying. Now I am adding 6-8 oz a day. I am pumping 1.5oz to 2 oz every 2 hours, but my 3 weeks old bb is still not having enough. He will cry 1 hour later after having 2 oz breast milk. but he can sleep for 2-3 hours with only 2 oz formula!!

It's really disappointing, even the nurse said I have done everything but just don't know why. just ask me to keep it up and wish me success and send me home!

Help help!!

Re: worrying poor mom

I am also have similar situation. I've been 100% BF to my baby for 5 weeks already. As I will be back to work end of Sept, I started to build my milk bank starting from yesterday. I pumped the milk when bf my baby but only 1.5 to 2 onz can be pumped every time. I am worried if my baby only takes too little for the past 5 weeks, because my baby is little bit small size, she is just 3.6 kgs when she's one month old, only 0.7 kg gained after birth.

Again, she likes to suck and can sleep very well during sucking. Once taking out, she looks at me and wants to have more milk, but she has suck for more than 30 mins, why's she still hungry? Is my milk production not enough? Will the BF mum buy a 'fake nipple' to your baby such that the baby has a sense of secure?

I am quite insist on BF and so I have bf her almost every 1.5 to 2 hr.....I hope I can build up my milk bank soon. Add oil to all!

咁應該點安排學習泵奶？餐與餐之間泵還是邊餵邊泵？甚麼時候泵得最多？我好擔心三個星期後儲唔夠奶呀。

Re: worrying poor mom

You are right. I am not sure my bb is still hungry or not. The fact is that 30 mins after direct BF, he will cry and create annoying sound. I try to hug him to sleep, no use. He struggles so hard for release! I then, try to give him my breast. Bingo! he calms down and start sucking and falling to sleep. :cry:

If I give him formula( he can take 4-5 oz now!), he seems more satisfied and can quiet down to sleep much easier. It puzzles me very much that I cannot give sufficient milk to my son from direct BF.

Re: worrying poor mom

If after I have BF him till my breasts are all soft and he still cries, I will give him 1-2oz formula. If he doesn't cry but will open his mouth whenever I touch his mouth, I will not give him formula. For sure, I know I have not enough milk to fully satisfiy him, his stomach always has room for more milk than I am giving. He can easily take 1-2 oz after I BF him, but I don't give unless he cries.

Re: worrying poor mom

Monaho，
In the very beginning, my baby is the same: he samed hungry all the night, and I once fed him 12 hours. There is one mother pumping out her milk and feeding her baby with bottles at night so as to ensure the baby's intake volume.
True, it is difficult for us to know how much our babies have taken by BF. If the baby keeps crying, he might need food, or sense of security, or both. So, counting diapers may be a reliable approch to judge our milk production.
My baby also always wants to eat every hour during the night time. Again, it is possible that he just wants to calm down. So, do not worry about the milk supply shortage. In fact, as long as our babies wants to suck, we will have good reason to believe in ourselves, because babies will reject us if our breasts are empty.
Feeding formular seems satisfy our babies immediately, but such satisfaction is just an illusion because milk powder is hard to digest. People tend to feel sleeply after taking somthing difficult yo digest. Mother's milk is full of water and easy to gigest, therefore, babies tend to eat more frequently. So, 順其自然 lar.
I feed my baby in an intensivr pattern: bf the baby every hour at night and every 2 hours in the day time. (My baby sleeps 5 hours continously in the night.) The weight gaining is OK. 10% at birth and 50% in two months old. Everyone said the baby eats too frequently, but it seems the way that he can cope with a poor mother.
Besides, we can also play with our babies after feeding so as to postpone the next feeding.
