| Dear rclamlam, I've heard that some breastfed babies never took the bottle (artificial nipple)... but your friend may try cup-feeding or use a lactation aid. Also, please check out this website about alternative feeding http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/alternative-feeding.html And here's my own story for sharing with all: My daughter was born preterm at 35 weeks (5lbs 4oz) and she spent her first days in the incubator, to monitor her breathing and to keep her warm... the nursing staff suggested to supplement her with glucose water to prevent dehydration while I tried to nurse her 6-8 times a day. Most of the time, she would rather sleep and I had a hard time trying to wake her up. Four days later, when she was diagnosed with jaundice and has lost about 5.5% of her body weight, the doctor suggested that we supplement her on formula milk until her condition improves. We had no choice so I tried to pump as much as I could and brought the expressed milk to the hospital 2 times a day (even if the volume is as little as 1oz). When my baby comes home after a week in the incubator, she is just 4lbs 15oz and is still very sleepy... she refused my breast for the first day and on the second day, she would latch on for a few minutes and give up...I was worried and sad and I tried offering her some expressed milk in a bottle but she didn't take much of it. With faith and persistent that we would overcome her nipple confusion, I tried to offer her my breast as often as every 30-45 mins and insisted NOT to supplement any formula or bottle. Slowly, she began to feed and sleep longer... She's now 24 days old and is gaining weight well. Also, I am very lucky to have came across Dr Jack Newman's website and the info were extremely helpful... especially the latching on and compression methods. I would highly recommend all breastfeeding mommies to visit http://www.thebirthden.com/Newman.html. Some of his articles were even translated in Chinese. www.kellymom.com is also another good source of breastfeeding information that helped me very much. Good luck to all breastfeeding moms. Always remember that your milk is the best food for your baby. Believe in yourselves and ignore the hurtful comments and suggestions by families or people who doesn't know much about breastfeeding. If mothers in Africa can feed their babies, I'm sure we can do it better. Best regards, Maryann :wink: |

| 我係新手mami,12月28日先生完,出院後我一直埋身餵人奶,醫生話bb唔喊唔駛俾佢食,於是,我bb就一瞓瞓4,5個hrs先飲,飲人奶又飲得果20mins左右,最初我都唔知咁樣ok唔ok,只知都幾舒服,因為唔係成日要餵! 點知,前日去健康院,醫生話bb輕,希望我令bb今星期內追返去出世時體重,叫我餵密d人奶~! 死la,我都好似唔夠奶,因為家姐話,我根本無谷奶,又無滴出黎,要自己塞壓佢先會有奶出,即係唔夠奶咁話~! 我已開始每隔2hrs左右就俾一次bb飲,but,佢成日凈係瞓,頭先飲果10mins唔夠又唔飲,又瞓,我都唔知點好~! :-( :-( :-( 阿媽成日叫我補奶粉(其實半夜頂唔住,會補一次),姑娘又call我,叫我去學餵,唔好give up,家姐同老公又無意見叫我放棄定點,我自己又15,16,唉~~ :-( :-( :-( :-( |

| Hi 米水 My baby was born exactly 3 months earlier than yours. When she was just born till she was 2 month old, I fed her every 1.5 to 2 hours. I had tried feeding her 16 times within 24 hours. Those days were tough, but now is much better. She can last 2.5 to 3.5 hours between each meal. Don't give up. Try to feed her as much as possible. My baby was only at the 25% percentile at birth, she is also at 90% at 3 month. You can do it! |

| 唔好比咁大壓力自己啦!!健康院姑娘都話真係太辛苦時補補奶粉都唔係問題,初初出院時就想全人奶,搞到我同老公就黎發神經,最後妥協夜晚補三餐奶粉,三日後bb反過來食完奶粉要搵媽媽奶,我就再減到e家一日一餐奶粉,我bb磅重都係剛剛合格,都係要一個星期後再磅,除非bb過輕,如果只是剛合格我都唔會加奶粉囉。 你可以叫老公幫你按下背,放鬆下會多d奶架 |

| 米水， 睇到你的經歷，簡直同我一模一樣。我個仔依家8個半月大了，最初我都好堅持全部人奶，而且餐餐埋身餵，但個衰仔剩係掛住瞓，食無10分鐘已經瞓著，搞到每次去健康院都唔夠磅，出世時7磅，滿月時都只係7.5磅，你話死未！ 後來，我決定用奶泵，得閒就泵奶，試吓用奶樽餵佢，希望可以睇到佢食幾多奶，點知，我就係聽左健康院d姑娘話：「餵全人奶就唔好補奶粉」搞到阿仔因為未食過奶粉，唔識用奶樽，試左好耐...... 到左今時今日，我好後悔，真係好後悔，因為我個仔從3個月開始已經唔鍾意食奶，可能因為我好似你一樣曾經猶豫，人奶究竟餵定唔餵？所以，我奉勸你，唔好太過堅持餐餐埋身餵人奶，我主張一早泵出來，畀bb學用奶樽飲，可以飲得快d多d，其實我哋餵人奶目的都係想bb好，有抵抗力啫，用咩形式飲，根本係次要。同時，當你發覺泵唔夠奶，咪沖奶粉囉，總之記住，阿b一定要肥、夠磅、愛上飲奶最重要。 加油啊！ :-D :hammer: |

| 你好呀!我睇完你既文章後,覺得大家起初既情況一樣.我個BB依家四個半月大喇~因為我慢慢發覺餵人奶出街時都會有d唔方便,而且我又準備要番工,所以依家想嘗試轉用奶樽餵奶,但又唔知點做好,想請教你有咩心得可以話我知!謝謝~ :-P |

| LittleLittleChicken, 我都好同意妳的講法。我個大仔頭三個月都係埋身餵，到三個月後我要返工，先發現佢完全唔肯食奶瓶，試過用杯用餵藥針筒都只食少少，bb食唔飽，就唔訓覺，唔食唔訓，日日等到我返屋企先肯食，足足一個月後先肯食奶瓶，結果由體重幾好變成過輕，之前三個月的心機都白費了。而且人奶bb可能不用喝水的關係，我個大仔而家歲幾都唔鍾意飲水，好煩。 所以我個細仔而家一個月，埋身食人奶之餘，都會pump或加奶粉，要令佢習慣我上班後的生活，要佢肯同工人合作，肯食奶，這其實對bb都非常重要。而且萬一上班時唔夠奶，佢都有一種唔會敏感，食咗ok的奶粉可以食。 如果bb在妳上班時唔肯食奶，真係會好担心，又怕照顧者會發脾氣，所以我覺得埋身餵的確重要，但其他方面都要配合，bb先可以健康成長。 |
