Avatar f tn I'm sorry. Can you pump for the time being? That way your milk won't dry up and they should be able to add breast milk in with formula. It's better for your baby anyways so I don't see how it could be a problem.
10427810 tn?1410754377 Just went through it with my little girl she was born at 35 weeks 3 days baby will be fine its just a pain cause you wanna enjoy your baby. Do the formula instead if breast milk it helps alot with their bowl movements an also see if you can do billy blanket from home that's wheat they let me do, doesn't hurt to ask? Only thing with that is every morning for like 5 days had to take her for blood work.
Avatar f tn So my baby has a little jaundice but its going down. She can't go home for another day because my placenta tested positive for group b strep! But a week earlier my culture was negative! So I have to wait another day to find out the results of her culture..... I am one anxious mama! I was going to breast feed but the pediatrician wants me to supplement until her jaundice goes away. I'm all ok with that.
Avatar f tn My daughter was born at 35+5. Her jaundice level was 23. I just moved her incubator bed and sat under the light with her in a diaper and I held her the entire time. I continually gave her the breast and my doctor never said a thing. She was always under the light. Just keep on sunglasses.
Avatar f tn Colostrum and breast milk are the best thing for a baby with jaundice or at risk for getting. The way your milk comes in by letting them 'cluster' feed as they call it first few days bc they drink the colostrum which is very good for them which eventually by about day 3-4 brings your milk in. When your milk comes in it does not look like store bought milk btw. Its kind of thin and whitish in color. Whereas colostrum is kind of yellowish.
Avatar f tn Tell the nurse If she gives your baby formula one more time you will Sue the crap out of her and who ever else gives that baby a paci or bottle. That's exactly what happened to my little guy he got confused because they claimed he had to have formula due to jaundice. When I got home I went to a breastfeeding forum and I also researched about jaundice and formula. Formula is actually worse because it constipated babies and breast milk doesn't.
Avatar n tn To get rid of jaundice he needs to be passing urine so you need to be getting him to drink as much breast milk or formula as go can. If you are somewhere where the weather is nice you can bring him out in the sun. If the jaundice is bad the doctor will do light therapy to get rid of it.
5780747 tn?1386650207 I had to pretty much stop breast feeding because my son has jaundice, although ive been still pumping.. Ive had to switch to formula and mixing in the breast milk to be able to feed him enough.. Now that he is doing better, Im wanting to go back to beast feeding but Im having trouble.. It was already difficult in the beginning as he was fighting to latch on or when he did he would fall asleep.. Now Im not producing much milk n he is having the same latching problems.
Avatar f tn So i am wondering if there is a way that i can figure out if my breast milk fatty enough, or inadiquate in anyway. I want to desperatly breast feed but if i need to put my ego aside and supplement for my babies sake i will do it. But how do i know? any suggestions?
9764007 tn?1405807828 jaundice can occur when a breastfeeding baby is not getting enough breast milk because of difficulty with breastfeeding or because the mother's milk isn’t in yet. This is not caused by a problem with the breast milk itself, but by the baby not getting enough to drink. Breast milk jaundice: in 1% to 2% of breastfed babies, jaundice may be caused by substances produced in their mother's breast milk that can cause the bilirubin level to rise.
Avatar f tn My baby had jaundice & was dehydrated so I put him on bottles for the 2 days he was on treatment. However i just pumped for the first time after having large difficulty breastfeeding the first 2 days (hes four days old)- Im just curious as to how much colostrum Id be collecting at this point since obviously my milk hasnt come in, considering I couldnt pump until now. So how much colostrum would be collected? & how do I store it?
Avatar f tn I was going to strictly brest feed him as well, however when he was born he was jaundice so I gave him a bottle of Brest milk with some extra vitamin in it to help the jaundice. I then stoped with the bottle as we started to strictly bf as he started having a hard time with the boob. Funy how that came to be considering i only gave him one tinny bottle a day. Now I have a problems with my brest so Ive been tring to get him back to taking a bottle. With the baby im having now.
Avatar f tn Is the jaundice causing the weight loss?
7491288 tn?1405987203 m breast feeding which he said will make her jaundice longer ge wants me to supplment 1oz of breast milk per feeding with formula. This will be expected ay 3 with the bili-light therapy, and when I tell you my baby fights me with this whole bottle bussiness. Even with herdaddy she fights the bottle. I find myself just given in so we can sleep. We go back thursday to have her levels rechecked. The doctor wants them down to 10. Has anyone went through this at home tx and it worked.
Avatar f tn The best things for jaundice is filtered sunlight so give bub some nudey time in the sunlight and also breast milk if your breastfeeding is good for jaundice. All the best.
639543 tn?1297027634 I had to store mine for a while cause my girls had Jaundice and the dr. took them of breastmilk till the jaundice was gone. But the freezed supply was great ;)!
Avatar f tn My daughter also had bad jaundice when she was born. For most babies sun light is all they need but in our cases sunlight isn't enough and it can be very dangerous. My daughter was given an actual billibed not just the blanket but I assume the same things apply. Keep your baby under the blanket all the time. Don't get them out except to feed and diaper changes. If its warm enough keep the baby in nothing but a diaper so as much skin as possible is exposed to the light.
Avatar m tn HI, You milk probably hasn't fully come in yet. He is just producing more milk for himself. Slepping 6 and a half hours is fantastic for 5 days old. I would say he is just building up his milk. If you are still worried I would talk to a lactation consultant.
Avatar f tn My first I was planning to breast feed, but she ended up with jaundice really bad right after she was born. We had to force feed her because she lost to much weight, and also to get her system to flush. She got lazy with the bottle and felt it was to much work for the breast. I tried solely pumping, but it wasn't enough. Babies have a stronger suction to force the milk then a pump.
2137220 tn?1340741325 I was wondering when I start breast feeding (if he should latch on) I know my milk could take up to 72 hours to fully come in, but after getting the colostrum will he be starving til my milk comes in?? I don't wanna supplement at all if I don't have to. Not only because it could cause nipple confusion but I don't want him preferring it over the breast. My last baby is 11 years old so memory has faded a lil.
Avatar f tn Well my son is a week old and the doctors said he has mild jaundice and they did some blood work on him , im not familiar with this my first son didn't have it cause i used formula and i was doing research and they said breastfeeding causes it ... now im worried should I stop for a while and use formula ?
Avatar f tn Pump Pump Pump, plus if you were able to get the breast milk in her it helps with jaundice. The more milk you remove the more milk you will make. Until you get breastfeeding established use a newborn formula because it has more of what a new baby needs. Also you heat the bottle in a pot of water on the stove. If you do it in the microwave it heats unevenly and could have hot spots to burn baby.
Avatar f tn Her doctor told her that we both had different blood types and that her breast milk was slowly killing me. The doctor recommended I have a blood transfusion in which I still have a scar from. When the transfusion was done I was all better. What I want to know is what did I have? Why was my mothers milk making me sick? And could I have that too if I have a child of my own?
453798 tn?1262633421 My milk never came in and Alec is 8 days old. I finally gave up because he was getting frustrated and it broke my heart. Has anyone else had problems? It is kind of a letdown for me.
Avatar f tn m wondering if anyone knows anything about feeding after a breast reduction? I fed my first 15 years ago but since have had a breast reduction ( 10 yes ago) ??? I've been told not expect to be able to by a doctor but it still might be a ppossibility. Has anyone had success??
Avatar n tn Hydration — It is important for infants receiving phototherapy to drink adequate fluids (breast milk or formula) since bilirubin is excreted in urine and bowel movements. Breast- or bottle-feeding should continue during phototherapy, and in some cases, intravenous fluids may be necessary. Treatment of blood type incompatibility — Infants with hyperbilirubinemia due to incompatibility with their mother's blood may be given intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
