Avatar f tn You only need pump if you plan to go work or leave baby while youre away somewhere, or bottle Feed your baby breast milk! Some insurance companies provide u with free pumps. I breast feed and pump for my daughter since i was taking college classes. With this baby I'm pump too days i have a sittter.
Avatar f tn Is it safe to add fresh breast milk to already refrigerated breast milk and feed it to your baby?
9399295 tn?1403752593 She might not be wanting it because the taste of formula. I heard breast milk tastes so much better then formula.
470885 tn?1326329037 While the composition of milk does change, it is still great for baby- even milk from a different time and frozen still has more beneficial properties than formula. This little one will be getting frozen milk when I quit pumping. I don't see an end in sight, so she may be over 1 and getting frozen milk!
Avatar f tn most important is to try not to eat empty calories.... food does change some taste in the breast milk I tested it on my husband because my baby seemed less interested in nursing and more interested after eating some foods. I learned to recognize what she did and did not like. It will not make baby starve just make them not want to continue to nurse once full. Nobody can tell you what your baby will for sure like and not like all babies have different taste. Good luck...
Avatar f tn Also if I get the freezer bags to freeze my milk because I tend to carry a lot of milk. How long is the frozen milk good for and how do you defrost it.
283175 tn?1295537265 even though my milk supply was low I think it took a week and a half to dry up...you could use a breast-binder, they're supposed to help reduce the milk supply quicker and somehow reduce pain....I have no idea how long it would take if you're not breastfeeding though. just be careful because if you're taking really warm baths or showers it can cause your milk to letdown...and every time you letdown, the body will try to produce more milk....drying up really stinks, lol. Good luck....
Avatar f tn Thanks ladies! Now as far as the lapse issue goes, APH said to test the breast milk....does that mean I have to taste it lol? Or do I let the baby do it? GA- Thank you! I have heard from a lot of women that they had up's and downs with breastfeeding. I know it's possible that everything can go smoothly but I also know that there could be a TON of issues. I'm ready for the challenge..I think lol, but I know I will try my hardest.
Avatar n tn As long as you are eating healthy there should be no reason to worry about your milk flavor, unless it was frozen you want to make sure it didn't go bad.
Avatar f tn Fresh pumped milk can be in the fridge for 6 days, thawed frozen milk needs to be used within 24 hours. Fresh pumped milk can be in room temperature for 6 hours. You never want to heat breast milk in the microwave. It destroys the nutrients. You want to heat it in a bowl of warm water. Most babies won't drink it cold, so around body temperature is good.
Avatar f tn Most favourites are apple beetroot and celery all mixed in together! Brilliant way to get all your anti oxidants!
Avatar f tn I plan on breastfeeding/pumping for 6 months, maybe longer but I was told I could freeze breast milk in certain bottles, my question is how long can breast milk still be good frozen
Avatar f tn Most breast-feed infants do not like infant formula and need it mixed with breast milk to accept it. If the bottle of infant formula tastes like breast milk he will accept the bottle more. Try mixing ¾ breast milk and ¼ infant formulas at first. If he does accept it, then after a week or so, try doing a bottle mix of ½ breast milk, and ½ formulas. If you wish, you can gradually go to a bottle mix of ¼ breast milk and ¾ formulas, then totally to all formula depending on how he accepts it.
Avatar f tn 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 !
9771234 tn?1405793808 I never warmed milk or formula. At most I would thaw frozen breast milk under hot running water and just use room temp water for formula. My reason for doing it like that is so baby doesn't get accustomed to only drinking warm milk.
192291 tn?1345400135 im not sure....i dont see why it would...i think they tell you to stop anyways if your pregnant again because it makes you uterus contract and its not good for the baby in there...as for the taste..no clue? Why do you ask ne ways?? lol im just curious....you dont have to awnser!!
Avatar f tn I only breast fed my daughter for two weeks due to a botched csection that landed me back in the hospital. However, I understand that spicy foods, dairy products, coffee, chocolate, cabbage, onions, green veggies, and tomatoes. It can take 2 weeks for something to leave your system (& breast milk). Keep a journal of what you eat so you can go back and what may have upset baby's belly. Some babies are very sensitive, some can live with a free for all in mom's diet.
Avatar f tn Water felt like it was making my heartburn worse : / I drank milk, but I put a little nesquick powder in it ( very minimal amount) just for the taste, I can't stand the after taste of milk alone, and I take a tum, I have been doing the milk thing for 2 days in the morning ( not tums) and I haven't got a heartburn since :D and mine were soooooooo extremely bad !
Avatar n tn Try someone else offering the bottle to him, because you smell like breast milk. Also taste the milk if you offering formula, because breast milk is sweet, a lot of formulas taste horrid! Mostly I found it was just perseverance. If you dr has no problems with his poo-ing patern the don't force a change. It could cause problems where once there wasn't any. Good luck!
7365709 tn?1395398972 I don't plan on breast feeding so my question is how do I get rid of the milk quickly? With my first I was so soar and in pain and I don't wanna go thru that again but back then I didn't think to ask anyone about it I just let it go on its own. Help!!!
Avatar f tn How long can breast milk stay refrigerated before it can no longer be given to a baby?
