Just see the doctor and she said my BB has 腸胃炎, I am not sure the reason, maybe my problem, maybe the things he touched is not clean; maybe my nipples .......... I am so worry about that!
I always heard my stomach has 'ku ku' sounds, but i don't think i have any serious problem like 腸胃炎, should i stop feeding my milk to my baby?
Also, i just clean my nipples during bath, is there any need to clean my nipples every time before i feed my baby?
for bf mother, we shall not eat 豆豉, Piegon, another any thing else? My mother of my husband said that if i eat cold drink and vegetable, my milk will have winds, i don't think it's reasonable, is that true?
I can fully understand your worry. Don't put all the blames to yourself. Your baby's 腸胃炎 most likely due to contact something else and you may not find a cause. Never give up breast feeding unless your doctor tell you to do so. Can you find a substitue on earth that is better than your breast milk in terms of nutrients and immunoglobulin for your baby? At present and in near or far future, I don't think so. On the other way round, if your bb is not taking your milk, he may suffered from 腸胃炎 earlier.
For caring of nipples, you can use cold 'boiled water' and never tap water to cleanse your nipples before feeding your bb.
For 豆豉, Piegon, it is well known bad for milk production. Please visit the following web site for more information.
Thanks for your support, i am now know more about breastfeeding.
After taking the medicine given by the doctor, the 便便 becomes solid like a worm, i think he will soon recover and what i need to do is giving him more water to drink to avoid dehydration!
I think you can give more BF to baby according to his demand rather than give him more water. Since your baby will eat less milk if you give him more water. It is suggested to give just 2-4 oz water to baby if he has diarrhoea. If your baby has 5-7 times heavy wet napkin, he has enough BF and is unlikely to be dehydrated. I hope your baby will get well soon.
After having a look in the web-site, I found there are many food which bf mom cannot eat. Is this the case? Also my BB has many winds in his stomach, I think that maybe the effect of foods shown in the web-site. But do I need to stop eat all of them?
For eg, cow milk product, is there any substitute for that as I always drinks milk in order to keep the milk volume.
Since both of my husband and I got allergy with asthma and eczma, our baby has tendence to be sensitive to many foods that I have taken. He has rashes mostly after I have cow's milk products and soy bean products which is high in protein. Other foods such as artificial favours and spicy food also cause rashes to my baby. My baby only can take hypoallergic formula such as NAN-HA1 as my BF substitute that will not cause him allergy.
However, my friend does not has this problem since her baby's parents do not have any allergic history. So, If you and your husband do not have any allergy tendency, your baby will less likely to have allergy. You may observe any food you taken will cause rashes of your baby and keep the record. If your baby has rashes now, you may better to stop taking milk. You may drink many soup and take vitamin substitutes to maintain BF quantity.
For your baby's stomach wind, it will decrease as your baby grow up with a more mature intestine. You may reduce to those food that cause air in stomach for a period and retake later.
Can you exactly tell what kind of allergy is? As my husband has 'Nose sensitive' is that one kind of allergy?
My boy seems better after taking the medicine, I will take him to see the doctor again tomorrow. But I am still bf to him, i am not sure if this is correct
Also, after reading on the web-site on the food taken, I have gave it to my servant, and she is now not cooking egg, milk, nuts to me as she said it is not good. Is this correct?
When I read you first mail, you seems to worry about food causing winds/ gas. And from the the table, the culprit for gas/ winds belongs to the first group including cabbage onion etc. It doesn't meant you cannot take these foods. But to be aware of increased wind after taking these food. If this occur, then these food should be cut off.
For other items like citrus food, milk etc. It is a common cause for rash or fussiness for bb. As in my case, whenever I take milk, cheese or vegetable protein, my bb will develop rash. So I stop eating all these food.
You may not need to stop taking fish, milk/ egg (they are good in nutrient) if your bb is well after you eat all these things.
My bb is now 6 weeks old, the 便便 this morning seems normal but with a little bit green in color, but tonite, becomes watery again and he cry and have a painful face and i am so worry about him.
