rose_mag,

is Amanda in the growth spurt now? she's 3weeks now. poor Spencer, your hubby is careless this time! I hope the test can help him, itchy is really killing :-(

Nillie_Mami,

the omega 3 I got says there's 1000mg of fish oil each gel, but the nutrition chart says there's only 300mg of total omega 3 fatty acids, so should I take 2 or 6?

我返左2日工, 好好彩唔洗去厠所pump, 不過間房都好污糟, 叫做有電制同有張櫈坐下. 同埋都有2個同事係奶媽, 所以無乜比人歧視, 真係thank god. but我要預備4支6安奶 per day, 好大壓力:-(

Rose_meg,
try not to feed every 30min. up to 2 hour for 1 feed.. because Amanda will fall into bad cycle again.
Let her drinks more in 1 meal, and rest for 1-2 hours before next feed. it may be because of 猛長期.. therefore, she demands like that.

Elmolly,
Take2 cap a day then you will have enough Omega 3 intake.

Gabriel is still.. mad and dislike any kind of congee or rice cereal.. diluted juice or water.. *sigh*.. he is such a difficult baby.

Nillie_Mami,

so Gabriel is still a pure milk baby? did you try out different brand's of rice cereal? did you start with congee or rice cereal first?

Andrea is turning 6 months in 10 days, I gave her banana twice (very very very little), she likes it a lot

by the way, Andrea is drinking less now, she could drink 7oz but now always spread to several feed to finish it, so I cut it to 6oz, but still can't finish sometimes, is it normal?

as for the pumping, if I pump at around 2300, and will wake up to pump again at 0700, should I wake up at 0200 then at 0430 or wake up at 0300 then wait until 0700?

各位
我bb己經3歲幾我仲keep住一日喂兩次
我想喂到5-6歲
但不知點解知道我仲喂緊人奶的人個個也覺得好奇怪
連我屋企人也叫我停:-(
覺得好不開心
我不會放棄因想起從bb一出生到現在不同的喂人奶經歷
也好開心最苦的只是奶線發炎,要入餐廳restroom喂同比佢咬

大家一齊努力!!!!

whalebb,
why have to feed your child in restroom .. I won't do that..
I fed Amanda and Gabriel whenever, wherever they needed.
even at target, supermarket, chinese resturant, medical clinic, park.. I skin to skin them.
My 99 did tell me once to go to bathroom/restroom to feed Gabriel, then I told my 99 to bring her dish and eat inside the toliet by herself. she better feels the feeling to eat in the restroom over the toilet bowl. Since then, no one stpped me. Come on, they don't even know that I am breastfeeding my child if I don't tell, the BF clothes design are really good.

Elmolly,
Yup, Gabriel still 100% BF, *sigh*, we tried rice cereal, fruit puree, Japanese congee, water, diluted juice.. nothing match his little taste bug..

he only eats the teething biscuits.. that is really not healthy, anyway, he still on his multi-vit + iron drop, I don't really worry about the vitamin intake.
he still poopoo once a day, healthy look.. wet diaper about 6-7 times a day... and gain weight about almost 1 pound a month-2 month... as a BF baby, he is doing very good.

Nille,

Ryan 而家習慣左skin to skin, 唔肯用bottle食, 我由佢4個月開始train佢用bottle, 到而家都唔成功,真失敗!

日間沒有其他人代我用bottle喂, c6只可在黃昏時幫我喂一次甘大把, 但要其他人在bb身邊哄佢至肯食2oz, 多d都唔肯食, 會大喊, 你有無良方?

如果ryan可以用bottle食奶, 我可以放係daycare, 以便搵野做ma.

mavis,
因為Ryan冇第二個care giver, that's why 佢咁sticky..
你而家要忍心, pump出嚟用bottle 餵, day time 唔 offer skin to skin, 佢餓極, 就會食, plus, almost time to offer solid food, 咁會易啲, Gabriel 喊咗個半月至用到bottle, 好硬頸..
bottle feed 後唔補 skin to skin, as anyway, if you return to work, 你只會黃昏+清晨 skin to skin 2 次, all other time 係pump and feed by bottle 架喇.. later, 當佢巳用bottle fed, weekend時就可以多啲skin to skin 囉.
Gabriel 足足輕咗大半磅(while training him on bottle)..
而家去重返... 但成8個月只得20lbs.. Amanda BB時, 4個月已18lb幾.. 唉! 做全職媽咪, 湊出嚟, 真係唔同啲..
餵bottle, 要靜, 冇disturb, 唔抱住嚟搖, bottle offer, 唔食就唔餵, 30-45min 後試過. 佢會慢慢pickup, if within 2 hours 都唔食就餓佢到下一餐..

Nillie,
My breastfeeding is getting better. My nipple has been healed now. Even though sometimes it's still a bit sore, I can manage to change the position or the latching to resolve the problem. In fact, the nipples are very sensitive now, they hurt when I accidentially rub them with the bathing towel. The feeding pattern of Amanda is not stable yet. First of all, I believe what you say that she's growing. So, I would feed her until she's full - bf + bottle if necessary (usually at mid-night or during holiday when my hubby helps at night time). She sort of wakes up every 2.5 hours to 4 hours, average 7-8 meals per day.

The big problem that we are facing is that she's so gassy. She likes to drink very fast (sometimes, she chokes because the let down is so much and so fast). I need to burp her all the time and also I need quite a bit of time for her to be burped out. When she needs to be burped or she wants to poo out, she cries so loud and so crazy that she can wake up Spencer. Also, she seems not good at drinking from a bottle yet. I guess that she's still young and she seems to prefer the breast more. I don't want to be too mean to her but sometimes, I do lose my temper. Luckily, my hubby becomes more considerate now after I told him all the facts and my feeling. He's more willing to give me a hand at night time. Before that, he keeps blaming me on my diet to make Amanda so gassy (I dare to eat beans or broccoli, only eat chicken, pork and choy sum, pat choy). He seemed have forgotten those days we took care of Spencer. Now, he accepts that Amanda really cries so loud that she can draw everybody crazy.

Hi all BF moms:

Finally I can become one of yours ... hehe

Right now, my son Terence is 3 days old ... i have been trying to BF him, successful for a few times (sucks for like 10 minutes), but most of the times, he fights with me when i tried to latch him on ... he usually sucks for a few moves and then takes off and cries ... i know i need much times to practice the latch-on

The lactation specialist in hospital gave me a device from Medela that comes with a thin plastic tube so that i can tape it on my nipple to fool Terence that there's milk from my nipple ... we did well for a few times, but it's difficult to find the right position to tape it (don't forget that i have to fight with him when latching on)

At this time, I feel that my breast starts to engore ... feeling hard, swollen, and slight pain ... it's more difficult to latch on, as the breasts are so hard ... seems that Terence finds it even harder to latch on to the right position ... what should I do??

Also, Terence needs to be fed every two hours ... during daytimes, I BF him first and then follows with bottle ... he can finish all 2oz and responds well to burping ... but when he sleeps, I hear him breathing with some "hee hee" sounds ... does that mean he need to be burped again??

Nillie_Mami,

Although Gabriel is doing well with BF, he needs to switch to solid food sooner or later right? I guess your milk is too tasty

Andrea is turning 6m on this weekend, should I start with rice cereal or fruits?

I can only pump 5 times a day, will it help to get more milk if I pump every 2 hours when I'm home?

Congratulations jstn! Yes, we are milk cow now.

Is Terrence an aggressive eater? My Amanda is very aggressive from day one and she bited my nipples so badly. If Terrence cannot latch good, you might need to see if he has opened his mouth big enough. Just take time and be patient; baby can learn every meal everyday. I found the right position to nurse Amanda just recently. So, Terrence is just a few days old, take your time. Nurse more skin to skin can help to improve the latch on skill as well as the milk flow. If your breasts are too hard and engored that Terrence cannot latch on, you can pump a little bit before feeding him.

Rose-mag,
you are doing very well and keep going.
what method are you using to bury Amanda?
Try the method I teach at another forum (for the breastfeeding mom to be), there is some other method to burp babies.

Jstn
engorement is very common for first few months, and that is the way to make your breast big, stock more milk for each feed.
Don't wait until it hurts you, if Terence did not suck all of them, you should pump after feed to prevent engorement, as many moms don't know how to take care of engorement, and end up, mastitis occurs, which cause fever, pain, swollen breast, by then.. you can't even BF your child.
electric pump will help you a lot, if you can afford it.
if you find that latch on already a big problem, plus need to supplement from the tube feeding, do you ever think to use the feeding breast shield? which you can put the feeding tube inside the feeding breast shield.
plus, if you feel so engore, you can even pump and feed.. Babies hate engore breast.. they love let down, but not engore breast.
try that..

elmolly,
every 2 hours will be too often too soon, you will not get much out, you better pump every 4 hours, that will be better, at least you let your breast to have enough time to produce milk.
Anyway, Andrea is big girl, pump 5 times is really good.. I can't even make it.
I can only pump 3 times a day and skin to skin about 3-4 times at home every day.

pauline83y,
2)
Now, my baby eats half BF milk and half formula.I had tried to BF him whole day, but not succeed. He pushed out my nipple andbegan to cry because of not enough milk supply. One way to stop him is to feedformula. You said the milk supply is on demand. So how can I increase thebreast milk and bf him entirely?
there is some ways which may help to increase milk supply.
1. your diet (at least 12 beverages of water, plus soup, juice and milk/soymilk)..
2. pump and skin to skin regularly
3. improve sleep pattern ( really hard to aciheve, but it is really important)
4. be happy, and relax (not easy as well)
5. no spicy, no coffee, no tea, no caffine, no beer, no animal intestines..
6. search for those food which works on you.. like.. rice, certainly kind of soup...
7. never on diet
if he will push you away for 1 side, offer 2 sides.

Terence is now 5 days old ... right now my breasts are harden, but not painful, so if i use breast pump, will there be any milk coming out??

Right now whenever I skin to skin Terence, he sucks for a few and then cries ... I don't have enough milk right now, so he's upset ... plus, my breasts are now harden, so making him more difficult to latch on ... also, the tube feeding is pretty hard to manage and it's not easy for him to suck ... every time he cries and cries and my heart just broke ... after a few tries, i gave him bottle and he ate so well... i am so worry that i will not be able to bf him

Yes, I just ordered nipple shields (standard size), hoping that can assist in bf
