Common Questions and Answers about Breast milk moms
breast
A baby stops drinking breast milk when there full...usually the breast produce according to how muxh they eat. I used to pump my breast milk to make sure its all out so that you continue producing...and also pump the breast that the baby didnt eat from to prevent engulgement...it can hurt like hell lol. It takes time and practice but have fun...eat healthy and drink lots of water. Good luck!!
No its not painful.. and not everyone leaks.
A lot also depends on methods of delivery. C section moms (term or not) take longer to get milk because sometimes your body doesn't recognize that you're no longer pregnant without delivering vaginally. A lot of severely premature babies are better off delivered by c section. These are also the type of babies that can't nurse right away. So if that was your situation: pump!
I've heard that too but I wouldn't recommend doing it. The formula and breast milk together could mess the baby's stomach up. But it all depends on your baby! You can mix it but I wouldn't recommend doing it.
So I've heard of women selling their breast milk to moms who can not breast feed. And I know I can breastfeed as of now because I did with my first. But I was thinking, that if for some reason I end up not being able to, would I consider buying someone else's breastmilk.... And so far, I can not wrap my mind around that! I mean, I just can't. The program is supposed to thoroughly check the women selling their breastmilk and you get the background info on the woman and everything.
Breast milk has the rule of threes. Three hours out of the fridge. Three days in the fridge. Three weeks in a built in fridge freezer and three months in a proper freezer.
You can get bags to store the milk in that doesn't take up heaps of space when you put them in the freezer. My mum told me not to store milk in the fridge door, I can't remember why but think it has something to do with not getting cool enough.
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.
Don't worry. Breast milk doesn't come in until a few days after the birth (before that it's colostrum - with my first baby there was no sign of that either until my son was born).
Incidentally, the milk is actually made in ducts under your armpits, not in your boobs, so breast size is no indication at all of how much milk your body can make. I'm small chested (34a) and had no problems at all.
I breastfed but wasn't able to pump, my daughter feed to often and I never had enough to then pump after, but I was always told by my docs that breast milk can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days (at the back of the fridge, don't keep it in the door) and up to 6 months in the freezer. Always try and defrost breast milk by putting it into the fridge to defrost, not just leaving it on the side.
Nope it's normal. I never leaked with my first but I did get tons of breast milk in once he came. I'm waiting to see if it happens this time. My bf kind of wants them to leak Idk why he's nasty haha but in a good way.
They say that I need to take care of myself and watch what I eat or I can kill my baby seens im bottle feeding and also giving her my breast milk .. It is bad to sit for along time ? What are the things I should do and shouldnt do and for how long ? ...do I have to cover my head and ears when going outside ? ... Please someone answers me Thank you !
Pumping or any nipple stimulation can bring labor on.
Breast milk is super-resistant to bacteria. It's way more durable than formula, which means that you can leave it out a while and refrigerate it and the baby can still drink it. Look up La Leche League for information.
Just give it time your body will know when its time it is also very important to keep a healthy diet oatmeal and milk also helps produce more breast milk, when I was pregnant with my first I wasn't getting enough milk and I made oat milk and I started leaking all over the place Lol.
I have a question for all the moms out there. I am 39 weeks tomorrow it will be my second daughter my 1st is now 7 years old. With my 1st I did not breastfeed at all not in the hospital or out of the hospital she was on formula from day one. My question is now with my second I still do not plan on breastfeeding from my breasts it not something thats gonna ever be on my agenda, but I do want to pump and bottle feed.
Breast milk doesn't "fill" the baby up as long as formula, that's why it requires more feedings.
