<![CDATA[Club Breastfeeding Mums]]>Hi Just wondering why there is no thread to discuss about breastfeeding issues in this forum…so decided to start this thread for mummies to share their experience & to help new mummies with this challenging but fulfilling role.

How did you introduce to your child milk formula? His pedia’s advice doesn’t seem to work and he keeps on crying if he sense that he will be bottle-fed.

I cannot contain my happiness for 2020 because I will finally see our little angel in February. I quit my job to do exclusive breastfeeding to my daughter. I hope that you could give me some tips on how to have a continuous breastmilk for her. Thank you.

[quote=GwaneTIme post_id=1937799 time=1569564690 user_id=181297]Hi mummies, i'm currently 36 weeks preg now n my boobs is growing out of control. 2 sizes up form normal.But im not sure if its a sign of good flow of breastmilk. My previous preg my breast size did not grow n my supply was low. Is it true?

While bm supply is linked to breast capacity, it doesn’t mean a mother with larger/smaller breasts will produce more/less bm.
The mother with larger breasts typically do not need to nurse as much as she is able to store more bm.
But if a nursing mother doesn’t letdown during breastfeeding, larger breasts doesn’t mean the bb will obtain more bm. Letdown is a very psychological process.
A mother with smaller breasts can letdown multiple times. I hv seen many less endowed mothers with huge chubby babies.
Bm supply is contingent on the number of times you put yr bb to the breast. The more he/she nurses, the more the breast produces. The breast size also doesn’t mean you will hv a good letdown and hence a good supply for the bb.
For yr previous pregnancy, you may hv not put yr bb to yr breast often enough. The breast is not conditioned to produce more hence the thought that smaller breasts means less bm.
Regardless of breast size, every mother will be able to nurse and provide enough for their babies.
Otherwise mankind would hv been extinct long ago : )


I agree with what you say. The size of your breast does not really matter as long as it is frequently stimulated, milk production won't stop. The most important thing you do is to stay hydrated so that your little angel will have enough breastmilk to consume.[/quote]Actually I find I am perpetually hungry n thirsty while breastfeeding, especially when I tandem nurse 2 or 3 children.
Our body is amazing.

I have been doing exclusive breastfeeding to my son and he is now 1 year and 2 months old. But I have noticed that he is losing weight. Our pediatrician assures us that it is normal and what I need to do is to take medications/supplements to increase my breastmilk production. I don't like the brand of the supplement she recommended. Do you know any alternatives you can suggest? Thank you.
Hi,
Congrats to you for breastfeeding exclusively.
At 1 yo, your child is probably starting to walk. His activity levels would hv increased. He may lose interest in breastfeeding.
Mealtimes are a generally boring affair for him unless you make it interesting. So he will not sit still and eat much.
His brain matter is developing. His cognitive and psychomotor abilities are heightened. The world is infinitely more interesting than Mummy’s face : )
A little weight ‘loss’ is expected.
If he is a chubby breastfed baby, expect him to be leaner looking in the coming months n years.
Most importantly, you need to observe his activity level.
Is he generally giving you a ‘hard’ time : ), wanting to walk n move around?
Is he alert and inquisitive?
If so, he is fine.
Supplements are unnecessary unless you are not eating proper meals. Increasing bm supply is more psychological than physical.
If you are happy, you will letdown more often. If yr child nurses more, the more yr breast produces.
The mother produces bm based on the child’s requirement, it is that amazing.
Do not compare yr breastfed child with a bottle fed child.
Bottlefeeding is easier on the child, he will tend to take in way more than it is necessary. Their stomachs are also used to levels that are way more than the body requires. This applies to bm bottle feeding n formula bottle feeding.
Breastfeeding direct from the breast requires a child to ‘work’ for his feed and amount letdown.
So just relax and enjoy yr baby : )

Hi mummies! Any tips on how to re-latch my 8month son who only wants his pacifier or milk bottle (expressed BM). Refused latching since he was 5 or 6months. Thanks in advance!


Hi Marymints! Skin-to-skin contact and allowing your baby to find your breasts on his own may be enough to help overcome this problem. - See more at: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/breastfeeding/breast-refusal/

You may see signs that he may not like to take in as much milk as before… that’s a telling sign.

I think its important for women to realize that a lot of time and effort is spent trying to maintain the supply (whether you have too much or too little supply). In my case, I have a decent level of supply but I have to go for regular massages and take Lecithin to clear the blocked ducts. I don’t know if anyone feels the same but I hope that as time goes by, society will understand the different difficulties that all of us have to go through and the hard work we put in to continue breastfeeding (the flow doesn’t just come like that as people believe). Hopefully, we will hear less of such comments, implying that we have it easier. We can bf because we made it happen, it didn’t just happen.
