breast milk vs cow milk

I could not breastfeed without a shield. I was really disappointed because I produced a lot of milk. Like I was a cow or something. This time around I'm 24 and my nipple are bigger than last time. I will try again. Don't be discouraged. There are ways to help if you truly want too.

You have to think about what you want for your baby. Research the pros and cons of both from multiple sources. Breast milk is the superior nutritional choice, but you need to make a decision on what is best for your family.

I am not from London but scotland and little bottles of milk are provided from hospital with my first I tried every milk sma (made her constipated) cow and gate (she got allergic reaction) and finally the one that worked was aptimal

1 year for milk, until then you want to stick with formula and breast milk. I was told to wait until 6 months for regular food. Although I did start small amounts of rice milk at 5 months.

Almost everyone is allergic to cow's milk. That's why mammals breast feed. When you don't or can't breast feed, one thing missing is the immune system building colostrum found in early breast milk. No formula is healthy -- they are just the best we can do sometimes.

Does your breast size depend on how much milk you'll produce because mine have grown but just a little bit & I'm just wondering because I want to be able to breastfeed :)

we eat vegetarian food +eggs and I want menu plan and feeding schedules how to feed him all the nutrition he need.Can I still continue giving him breast milk or I need to switch to cow milk . I am worried whether he is getting all the protien,fat,carb from his milk or do I need to switch to cow milk.I am giving him 1/4 cup cereal with 2 spoons of fruit for breakfast.1/4 cup rice ,1/4 cup protien,2 tablespoons of vegetable for lunch and same for dinner .In between he will drink milk.

Its a hard decision to make because every mother wants the best for their new born. Do some research on formula vs. Breast milk. Maybe that will ease your mind a little. The only way I'll do formula is if I cant breastfeed my baby.

if that were the case I would not be able to breast feed. Lol but I produced a ton of milk with my last pregnancy. I'm only a B.

The baby may show reaction towards breast milk also if the mother is taking dairy products in her diet.Diagnosis of milk allergy can be confirmed after skin ***** or patch tests and food challenge tests.Confirmation can be done with blood tests like RAST.It also helps in differentiating milk allergy from lactose intolerance.You need to consult an allergy specialist for that. Treatment involoves elimination of all dairy products from the diet.

Okiee doke sounds good just wondering cuz I see some people breastfeeding their kid and their like 4...

Ok. I did ask and was told it would be fine but I asked to get answers from mothers who have done it.

Since its probably not your milk she is allergic to its cow milk. Did your doctor talk to you about this at all. I know when i was an infant I would not breast feed at all after day 3 of being alive, and they later found out i was severely lactose intolerant. Also my friend had a two children who was lactose intolerant when they were nursing, her doctor told her to stop drinking milk and eating dairy products and her children nursed just fine.

It is recommended that children under 1 year old should not have cow milk to prevent allergies and needs to remain on infant formula. At 1 years old, children can start to be weaned off infant formula to cow milk. To help him gain weight, suggest feeding him extra meat at meals.

Our son is one week old today and I give him both formula and breast milk. I like for us to feed him breast milk during the day and formula at night, since it's a little thicker.

I would find other woman who breastfed twins to find out their strategies. Discuss your concerns with a lactation consultant aswell. Breast milk is the best for your babies. You should just try it and if you can't do it or the babies aren't getting enough you can switch. Remember you have to do what you feel is best. There isn't a doctor or person on this forum that can know how you feel, so just trust your gut and do what you feel is the right thing to do.

I'm 10 +5 woth number 2 and i have been hand expressing since 6 weeks aproximetly. My doctor says it is compleatly safe. I had to hand express with my son to as i am a deary cow and make way to much milk and started making milk at 19 weeks with him.

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.

Hello, Most of the breast-fed babies develop lactose intolerance which usually self corrects but not always if it is a cow milk or a formula milk "problem" or allergy/intolrance with some dietary ingredient. Most babies with milk allergy are allergic to cow’s milk protein, while others are allergic to soy protein, and some to both. Breast-fed infants normally have stools that look like watery, yellow cottage cheese.

Actually it's the opposite.. breast milk is more filling and heavy..

Try to put a warm towel on top of them and get the milk out, warm baths help and also massage the top of your breast so they dont get hard and swell up. Thats what i did with my daughter because i could never breastfeed her.

I am 29 wks and leaking like a cow!! And when I put the breast pads in my nipples leak n get stuck to the pad.. help.

Breastfeeding is free and you don't ever have to worry about your breast milk being recalled like with formula.

Umm..pretty sure it's not possible. Breast milk is not the same as cow milk, I have never heard of a baby being allergic to it's mamas milk.

Ha ha, I drink a gallon of fat free milk every 5-7 days lol. I've always loved milk but I use to only drink a gallon before the due date. Now, I really need like a gallon and 1/2 a week. Lol thanks for sharing ladies.
