7801868 tn?1395885718 After u feed pump anywaz the more ur body gets demand put upon in the more itll produce so just feed feed feed pump pump pump (actual feeding will stimulate ur production more) and make sure u are getting lots of water and enough calories. Thereare also ssupplements teas and some foods that help production like oatmeal. Alcohol like beer does NOT make more milk it just makes for an easier let down long term it may hinder milk production.
Avatar f tn I loved breast feeding!! It took a while to get the hang of with first baby, but once it settled, I absolutely loved it. It didn't hurt at all (for me) and once established - actually felt pretty good. My thought is that if it is hurting, then chances are the baby is not latching on properly. A few tricks I learned with #2 is to let the baby nuzzle as soon as possible after the birth when the 'rooting' instinct as really strong.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone is selling their breast milk to a milk bank? Where? How do u get started? How much money do you get? Nd do you enjoy it?
621803 tn?1302888341 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! If mom won't give it they get it from the milk bank.
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 I breast fead my 3 year old and i will prest feed my new bub when it is bourn. Breast millk is the best thing you can give to your new bourn. But breast feeding isnt somthing that comes natraly to everyone. Some women have troble getting there baby to latch some have troble getting te milk to flow and some just don't preduce enupgh milk. In these cases i have heard o womin who breast feed then finnish of the feed with formular.
Avatar f tn The doc thinks its crazy how much milk I produce but I got a lot with my son too. I have to pump guiteva bit just to relieve my boobs.
Avatar f tn I'm curious as to how long you plan to breast feed?... How old do you think is too old? Are you not going to breast feed? Why? Why not? I'm a first time mom. Curious others opinions.
Avatar f tn And she always tells me how hard breast feeding is, and since I dont know much about it (when to feed, when to pump, can I pump and nurse at the same time, ect) it makes me feel even more like I can't do it. I have debated bf classes but with us saving for a house, just don't have the money. I just really need support right now, and I feel like I'm not getting it right now.
Avatar f tn OK SO I HAVE AN YEAR OLD TATTOO ON MY CHEST AND I'M THINKING ABOUT BREAST FEEDING!! WILL IT BE OK FOR ME TO BREAST FEED OR WHAT? I JUST DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON MY MILK OR THE BABY!!!
296076 tn?1371334474 I'm hoping to breast feed until my daughter is 8 months or so. I have been using both breast and bottle since she was born. I usually pump during the day and breastfeed at night. I'm lucky, she has always switched between breast and bottle very easily.
Avatar f tn Something my Doc told me that made me feel alot betters is to not stress yourself out if you want to do formula as well Some Breast milk is better then no breast milk so I bottle feed but also breast feed what I could until he was a year as well. My doc suggested to breast feed some at least for 6 months.
11717999 tn?1422521384 At least 6 months bare minimum. I am going to breast feed for six months than pump and give him that in a bottle from than on. Breast milk is the best for your child's development.
Avatar f tn Had my Daughter 5 days ago yesterday i squeezed the milk out till my breast stopped hurting they sent my pump to the wrong address how do i make them not hurt so much without having to waste my milk ?
Avatar f tn My 1 month old eats every 3 hours during the day, and sleeps 9 hours a night without feeding. It's a mamas dream. And before anyone comments on her sleeping so long, it's totally fine, ask your doctors. You don't need to wake your baby up every few hours to eat.
Avatar f tn you need to try and get him to latch on properly, easier said than done I know, but keep trying, also by putting him to breast as often as he wants, that will increase your milk, each time you put him to your breast for a feed, also have at least one glass of water
Avatar f tn s better but this hour thing gets exhausting. I also want to pump for when I go back to work, how often should I pump? How much should I have for a 24 hr period?
Avatar f tn It been a week since I gave birth, my baby won't latch to my breast, so I been pumping it and giving him in bottle. I pump 6 times a day and take a gap at night. I feed him my breastmilk and formula milk. I have noticed a small lump in my left breast. Is it clogged milk duct? I take a shower with hot water to compress it, but over the night, my breast feels heavy like rock. When I press it, I feel little pea Size rock. What could it be? P.
Avatar f tn Thanku so much.......
Avatar f tn What you produce at first is colostrum not milk. The colostrum is liquid gold milk comes in 3-5 days after baby. They'll be eating your colostrum first and not everyone leaks before baby is born.
Avatar f tn Awesome thanks for the tips.
