Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

hi all,

I'm a full time mom with a 2yr old girl and a 4mth old boy (born on 12/26/04).

I have no problem with breastfeeding. My daughter was being 100% breastfed till 6mths. My son was also 100% breastfed till last week. He was sick after taking my pumped breastmilk. So I decided to throw away all the frozen milk. Now I'll feed him directly when I'm available (esp morning and night). Will give him formula if I'm going out. Will also start testing solid food when he is 5.5mth old (1 more mth to go!).

He's now 19lbs! can you imagine holding "a bag of rice" while feeding!

He is now trying to turn. But he can sit without support. Of course I won't let him do that all the time!

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

welcome 03baby,
? I'm still 100% BF my bb and give her frozen milk when I'm away to work. What kind of sick he has? ARe u sure it's because of the pumped milk? So is there anyone helping u taking of 2 kids? I'm doing partime ( half day work ) since I feel frustrated to stay at home all the time only taking care of kids!

By the way..it seems we're quite quiet these days here in this chat room. How many BK mom is still BF?

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

kalle,
I am still BF, but only twice a day! You should recall that I do not have much milk - if I BF within 3-4 hours, my BB could not have enough to eat and feel annoyed. That's why I can only BF after 5 hours! Besides, I work during daytime so I can't BF frequently and my frozen milk is already out of stock last week because I cannot pump much even with a powerful pump! :-(

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

v. sad. Today it's the 1st nite that my bb doesn't really like sucking my breast. She felt annoyed when there seems no more milk and not willing to suck properly to stimulate more milk!! Actually, I also discovered recently her sucking is not v. strong. Once no more fore-milk, she stops and feels v. annoyed. I don't know what to do and have to ask my helper to feed my frozen milk with bottle now. Don't think I can pump out enuf milk for her if she's not sucking directly from my breast.

Don't be sad as you did it very well, at least BB has BF for 4.5 mths. My baby refused to BF while I impose mix feeding in her 4 mth. I also felt upset at that time, but I understand that she has at least taken 4mth mother's milk and I already tried my best. Sometimes, we can't control it.

The objective of BF is providing health to BB, right?
Milkpower can also serve the same purpose and give nuturtion to baby. May be you can use more spare time to play with baby when stop BF.

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

kalle,

Don't be upset! The same happens to me last week - for 2 continuous days, my BB only sucked for 2 mins and then felt annoyed & stopped because I did not have enough milk.

Luckily, I get encouragement from you & other moms - so I continue to BF & pump (even as little as 0.5 oz) -> the situation improves over the weekend and in the past 2 days, she would suck for around 15-20 mins from each breast!

So don't give up & be more patient - I feel that BB can get the message & suck again! You are a lot better than me and you know I am running out of stock already.

If I can do it, you can also do it! Just try your best! Add oil!

Don't be upset. You have already tried your best. I stop breastmilk by 3.5 months - partly because I went back to work and partly because my BB suffered from diaherra at that time and thus had to throw away the breast milk. From day one, I bumped breast milk and gave formula at the same time (I did the same for my elder son). Even if your BB refused to breastfeed, you can still bump breast milk (electric bump is more effective.) My doctor said the supply will decrease without direct stimulation from bb's sucking but I think as long as we have tried our best, nothing to regret.

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

Thanks a lot, Fenny, Princesshk2 and Korbutwong!
I'll try my best to bump out if she doesn't want to BF though I know the milk will decrease quickly once stop direct stimulation. I just worry that during the middle of night she wants to have bottle feeding since she is not completely cut night milk yet! It'll be tiring for me to get up and make a bottle for her!!

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

Tell you what. I cried in front of a doctor when I was having fever and worried that I couldn't see my NB baby. WHy? Because I was recommended to stay in hospital for a few days and so I was afraid of not having breastfeeding for my bb. Over those days, I was encouraged to keep bumping milk and sent it back home so as to maintain 'supply & demand' of milk. No problem. My bb also learnt to have milk powder when I was away. It's no harm because he doesn't have problem in taking up milk powder when he grew up later. So, I can tell I've learnt to let go. I'm happy to share my experience with you. Thanks.

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

其實你地好叻, 我亦喊過好多次
當bb體重不斷下降, 人人都話我不應堅持bf
有一個angel nurse出現, 她鼓勵我已至小天愛可以繼續接受bf

而且在快要返工時, I took THE MILK PUMP
但係用極到PUMP唔出兩滴, 所以在BB的2.5個月開始
我返工時, she takes milk powder in bottle
貼身餵after my work這樣都堅持了1.5個月
感謝神，she haven't any nipple confusion
直到ｂｂ4個月才, 因為體重是100個bb排尾三, 我才放棄
如果可以堅持就繼續啦! 我相信每個bb跟媽媽都是perfect match

但即使要全奶粉也可以肥肥白白 :lol:

KALLE
唔好唔開心啦!!有時BB都有情緒同喜好,
你試下再俾BB吮下, 會唔會你的DIET改變, 令奶味道亦改變
又或者衣服, 肥皂, 香水氣味的改變
又或者噴奶反應太激, 濁親BB??
又或者BB 太熱等等原因,

就算全泵型媽媽, 有D都可以餵到BB斷奶,
給BB做個好榜樣, 凡事有毅力, 不輕易放棄
加油, 盡力而為!!

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

Calamus,
Nice to see you again!

Kalle,
Last night I just encouraged you. But, you know - yesterday night my BB behaved the same but there was milk. After she sucked for around 2 mins she refused and then I changed to other breast, but she kept on crying.
Then, I switched on the air-con, but the situation did not improve. After around 10 mins struggling, I gave up and gave her formulae (7 oz), then she drank it in 10 mins.
Anyone have such experience? Do you know why BB would behave in this way even if I have milk? :-( :-( :-(

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

I have similar experience with you, princesshk2. My baby sucks for only a short time and then cries. Usually, I'll stop BF and after a while when he is calmer or sleepy and try again. Sometimes he sucks. Sometimes he does not. If he doesn't, I do not give him any more.
I use pump during the day time and less and lessmilk comes out every day. I'm a bit worried because my milk at home is getting out of stock soon. Maybe in a week or two my baby has to have formula milk. But I think I will just try my best.
I have let my baby try rice together with my milk. He seems to like it.
Add oil, everyone.

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

it's so nice to have BK website that every mom can support each other!!
As my helper said, her kids also got lazy to BF after using the bottle for a while, I think it's common to most of the bb ( of course there's still some good exception case ).
Yes, the same to emily_lai's bb, my bb sucked again last nite when she was v. sleepy and in the middle of night. When she's v. hungry and awake, I think she prefers bottle since it's easier and quick!
As the same to all of you, we can just try our best. I'm happy to have all your support and my husband's. He just said, well..if she doesn't want it, fine, u can just pump it out when u feel like it and give her formula.
I hope all of you also got support from your family!

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

Yes, my daughter have the same problem too, I don't know why as well. At frist I throught I don't have enough milk for her to drink but I screase it the milk can come out. I thought she was scare by somethings so I gave her 保嬰丹. Because normally she like to sleep with sucking with my nipple, but last night she is being really naughty she refuse to suck and she was keep crying very lound even I was carrying her and moving her. After a while she start sucking again and fall in to sleep.

Re: 2004年12月全母乳媽媽

princesshk2

I have same expereince with you. Even I have many milk, she refuse to suck. Maybe it's more easy for BB to suck in bottle as bb needs more energy to get the breast milk.

:-( 我亦是因為唔忍心bb食唔飽才give up BF in her 4 and a half month
