Avatar n tn 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 she accepts it. When you want to wean her off the breast milk you can follow the above also. Hope this helped you.

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 !
Avatar f tn I don't think any foods are going to make your breast milk better than what it is already. I do know for sure that certain foods will make the baby fussy or gassy...to me was beans, eggs, any of the dark veggies like broccoli or collard greens. Don't know if it's different for each person.
Avatar m tn Lastly, there are certain foods and drugs can cause a reduction in breast milk or make your baby not like the taste of your breast milk. It is best to avoid certain spices in large quantities. Spices such as Garlic, Sage, Parsley, Peppermint, and Thyme can cause problems. Drugs to avoid are Decongestants, Alcohol, Hormonal birth control pills, and tobacco should not be taken unless absolutely necessary. No matter what your choice, you should always speak with your doctor first.
Avatar f tn Keep in mind that he just might be curious what breast milk tastes like. You could ask him that. If he wants to try it just to see how it tastes, you'll probably have a pump, right? or be able to hand-express a little into a cup, and just give it to him. If he insists he wants to try it "from the source," you might think he's doing it for erotic reasons, and that is why it is bothering you? Ask him. If it is an erotic interest, then think over how you feel about that.
Avatar f tn How long can breast milk stay refrigerated before it can no longer be given to a baby?
Avatar f tn I tasted my milk when it came in. Lol :) had to taste what my babies were tasting. I see why they lkve it too! Tastes way better than formula thats for sure.
Avatar f tn I drink soy milk because I crave it! I like the taste...my mother is a nutritionist and you absolutely CAN drink soya milk while pregnant, cows milk is also good as it has more calcium than soya milk, but like I said I drink it for taste.
192291 tn?1345400135 I don't think your milk would stop really because I have heard of people getting pregnant again when still breastfeeding. The thing you have to worry about though is because of all the hormones it can make the milk taste funny and the baby won't want to breastfeed anymore because she doesn't like the taste.
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!
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 n tn (I sucked on the second because I wanted to make sure I did taste something from the first). The dancer did confirm to me that she had a 6-month old baby that she was breastfeeding. That was all. I went and rinsed my mouth and walked out, all worried. Last week I was generally feeling sick (partly spurred by anxiety, I am sure), but no fever. A mild sore throat which turned into a nasal congestion and mild cough which is all gone now.
621803 tn?1302888341 to the one who said formula is just as good I feel youa rewrong and if that were so why are formula companies making formula to be just like breast milk then???? Breast is best but formula is next best thing when breast milk is not available and age two is not to old to breast feed. I did it! My third was born premature and I donated my extra milk because I had so much. SHe was born at 30 weeks and stayed there 14 days only. The dr said that they perscribe breast milk to premature babies!
327668 tn?1224792350 Mothers around the world have been using it obscurely as a natural way to increase breast milk, mothers produce copious amounts of highly nutritious milk for their infants. The term given an herb or food that increases the flow or production of breast milk is galactogogue. Moringa has been clinically proven to increase the production of breast milk whether it is consumed before or after the birth of a baby.
Avatar f tn 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. This way you will use up the breast milk and he will get used to the formula taste. Once you are on formula and he is accepting it, do not reintroduce breast milk bottles. Try mixing the infant rice cereal with breast 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 n tn Start with ¾ breast milk and ¼ Pedisure or Milk, go to half and half, then ¼ breast milk and ¾ Pedisure or Milk, and finally to all Pedisure or Milk. You can do each mix every 3-4 days as long as she is accepting the mixture. She will get used to the Pedisure or Milk taste gradually. Suggest trying other dairy sources, such as yogurt and cheese, too once she accepts milk and or Pediasure. Hoped this helped you.

446156 tn?1275859576 1. No you should not microwave breast milk because of the uneven heating that it can cause 4. No I do not think it can be reused after it has been warmed Wish I had answers to your other questions BUT there is a really great BF'ing forum that should be able to help you out better...their community leaders are super knowledgeable...I'd post there! Good luck!
Avatar f tn How long would I have to breast feed ? My breast are small will I be able to produce enough milk for my baby? Im 18 weeks when will they grow lol How BAD will it affect my milk if I smoke weed?
551885 tn?1300383822 When I stopped breast feeding my son (who is now 3) I stretched it out over about a month, but you can definitely do it faster if you wish. Feed him only from the breast (or pump) when you are very full, like you said you were doing. Let only a little bit of milk out, just to relieve the fullness, but do not completely drain your breasts. Continue to do this until your breasts are no longer producing milk.
Avatar f tn Breast milk is better its natural easier for baby to digest reduces chances of sids n reduces chances of colds longs u are doing it right it shouldn't be uncomfortable the hospital can teach u or u can join a support group u can still have a life if u breast feed u can choose to pump!
