breast milk iron

I was given Ferros Sulfate(iron pills) and the nurse said don't take it with milk, some sort of chemical reaction, it is however ok to take it 30 mins after you've had milk..

I am having my 2nd baby already. But I still have small breast to feed him milk. What is the best thing to do to have many milk for my baby?

I drink a lot of milk a day because I'm going to be breast feeding and I heard drinking milk and eating cheese helps. How healthy is it to drink milk while pregnant? How much does the baby get from it and also I'm a huge coffee drinker lol I'm 37 weeks pregnant. Is it okay to drink coffee now or while breast feeding?

Has anyone ever heard of Similac PM 60/40 Low Iron Infant Formula, or tried it? From what I've read, it is really similar to breast milk and I'm hoping will be better for her than the formula we have her on now. Ever since I had to wean her from Breast milk she's had nothing but problems, and I've tried every formula on the market. This is pretty much my last hope.

I had milk in one breast from the time I was about 17 until... well.. now. After I had my son, that breast continued to leak small amounts of milk for 4 years until I got pregnant again, and now it leaks collostrum! The doctors checked me out and all hormones seem to be okay, and it's not an infection, so they just shrugged and said it was no biggie, so it's not really bothered me much. The leaking isn't significant, and we find it a source of humor sometimes.

I know this is out of place but I can't get anyone to help me. I've called her pediatrician who is out of the office today. They said they would page her but she has not returned my call. I've called my local hospital and they said they can't page the on call pediatrician until after 5. My daughter is 10 months old and breast fed (well she drinks pumped milk but same thing). I am 27+2 weeks pregnant and I am getting close to nothing when I pump.

I have a chart that says to start at 6-8 months. You can do the cereal, bread, and starches. But it says "2-3 servings of iron fortified baby cereal mixed with breast milk or formula (do not put in bottle or mix with juice)" thats what the chart says for 4-6 months.

Breast milk is so easily digested there isn't much waste output. Formula babies have iron added into their food and it is much harder for them to process so that's why formula babies poop more. Breastfed babies can go a few days without pooping.

We recently started her on the rice cereal and sometimes when I dont have enough breast milk we give her formula. The color of her stool also changes from yellowish to greeenish..its goes from seedy to stringy and recently now mucousy.

For me, im gonna breasfeed til i cant (go back to work etc) then im gonna start feeding formula when im not there or we arent in private, then ill,just start breast feeding less,and less and switch to formula.

s not getting a lot right now, try BFing her a couple times too, and when you do, hold your breast and if she stops s*cking run your thumb on the top of your breast from the part closest to your body towards the nipple to try to express some, she'll taste it and when she starts s*cking again it will make her try to get more out. Hope that helps a little!

You think if I eat salad it will make my breast milk taste funny ? I heard something about broccoli making baby fussy or something . What about salad ? Also I know during pregnancy there was like pregnancy "super food" like strawberries & a few others . Any tips for breast feeding diets ? I want to have the best breast milk ever !

Newborns can go up to a week without pooping an with breast milk the baby absorbes most of the milk and doesn't poop as much. Trust me I'm on baby #3 and it's happened to both mine and this is what my dr told me. Don't stress it too much. Call the hospital lactation consultant for help they will help with anything you may need about Breastfeeding.

Are you breast feeding ,if you are it could be your diet , check what you have eaten in the last 24 hours , any green veg like spinach , also even what you have had to drink everything goes into your breast milk , if you are not breast feeding check the formula contents I do know some are fortified with Iron which can make babies stool green ..if it continues do see the Doc again ...

s requirements for breast milk to the age and length you feed. At 2 years of age your child will have pretty much been on other foods by now, so the body will have figured out the supply and demand scenario and adjusted pretty well. You might find you are actually low on iron. The symptoms you mention are very much like that of low iron levels. Breastfeeding for 2 years will naturally rob you of your own iron to provide for the child.

B) to commenter DreamaMama - powdered milk is not a substitute for formula. Babies should drink nothing but breast milk or infant formula before the age of 12 months - no juice, no water, and certainly not powdered milk.

My daughter had an especially hard time digesting formula despite having breast milk in addition. I had to play around with a few different formulas to find one that my daughter could digest. The one I ended up using was Nestle Good Start with soy (of course one of the most expensive types) and though the constipation went away, this formula really made her poop green.

Around 10 weeks pregnant is when my baby weaned from breast milk. Your milk starts changing in taste so that could be it.

A good point jakesgirl4life, there are a few things that can make it harder and no shame in asking for help. I had vitamin d difficency, iron difficency, low thyroid, a prior breast reconstruction and gave birth a month early due to preeclamplsia. I persevered for 4wks with the help of a child health nurse and a breast feeding consultant but after my baby weighed less then his birth weight I chose to put his health first and swapped to formula.

Indeed, prior to the age of 1 year old, consumption of a lot of dairy products may put baby at risk for iron deficient anemia. Milk impedes the proper absorption of iron and iron is one thing that an infant can not afford to have cut down or cut out of the diet. Additionally, whole cow's milk protein and fat are more difficult for an infant to digest and absorb. "The most dramatic effects are on iron levels in the body.

My daughter is 5 weeks old and didn't poop yesterday and hasn't pooped yet today (it's noon now) is it normal? She was on strictly breast milk but now she gets formula and breast milk. Would that be why? She also farts so much.

t able to breast feed because i have had a breast reduction. but had i not i would have breast fed. so i'm gonna say, if you can breast feed i totally recommend it. congratulations on your pregnancy!

I started mixing formula and cow's milk at 11 months, never asked the dr, just did it on my own...and at 1 year I had Elijah on milk only. If you're breast feeding still *I* don't see a problem with you mixing breast milk and cow's milk to see if he'll take a bottle or sippy that way.

As I stated before, suggest giving your child the daily amounts of food that I wrote in the previous answer. If you are giving him milk as breast milk, then give it in the amounts stated. Your child is underweight and needs to grow. Food is the only way he will grow. The problem with his eye maybe only a muscular issue not diet related.

Is it OK to take my iron pills with milk...I've heard the milke his calcium in it so that blocks out the iron...

That's iron. I had low iron too. I got mine at Walgreens and u should also get vitamin c to go with it i got chewable vitamin c. It helps your body absorb the iron. Make sure to take it with water NOT with your prenatal and preferably on an empty stomach. Certain foods, caffine and milk dont go well with it.

My big boy is already a week old. But I think he drinks too much formula. Now I'm breast feeding and also giving him formula (Enfamil milk based w/ iron for up to 3m). It's sometimes difficult for him to latch on due to my inverted nipples and he gets frustrated with the size of the nipple shield.
