milk

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.
Avatar f tn I first had to introduce formula because he is very gassy and the soothe formula helps soothe his tummy. I can not afford a breast pump to help out at the moment either. I just want the best start for my baby, can anyone help?
3055148 tn?1368211800 I assume this means your milk has come in and there getting engorged! Should hurt long, keep a bra on 24hrs a day even in bed and the shower it really helps to 'dry up' your milk supply!!
266539 tn?1281402152 Quick question for my best friend that just had her little guy. How long can you store breastmilk in the freezer?
Avatar n tn if you had milk on your breasts you arent pregnant, you just simply spilt milk on your breasts. and even if you are pregnant you dont get milk in your breast till like the second or third trimester. just because your boobs get bigger doesnt mean your pregnant. it just means your boobs are growing. and your boobs dont really grow until your milk comes in or around the second or third trimester. and if your stomach is getting tighter it doesnt mean pregnant.
Avatar n tn Not everyone reacts well to a pump so it could be that you never know. Have you used lanolin cream? That and breast milk and just letting your boobs air out and relax. If the latch is good and there is no lip tie or tongue tie .. all you can do is wait.
1497011 tn?1288913258 As I examined my breast I noticed it was only sore off to the right side of the nipple so I checked to see if I had any discharge, and instead of a discharge, milk came out. I understand that breasts make milk long after weaning your kids from breastfeeding, but that has been a long time ago and there has not been any milk up until this period. WHAT is going on? Could it be hormonal or a symptom of the Mirena?
Avatar f tn m just wondering how long each stage lasts and how do you know when to switch from breast milk to formula to baby food etc? I'm just confused I guess cause I don't have a baby yet. Any feedback you guys give me would be great !!
Avatar n tn After warming up breast milk from the fridge how long till it can't be used..
Avatar f tn Bub not wetting enough nappies. Not putting on weight. Not being satisfied after being on both boobs. The more you let.bub just sit on the boob even if he's only sucking occasionally or falls asleep and uses you as a pacifier then the more milk you will produce. I ran out with my first and the only sign was he didn't put on enough weight. I had plenty of milk just it didn't have enough goodies in it. Good luck.
621803 tn?1302888341 Jazmine had breast milk exclusively for the first 6 months and then breast milk supplemented with solids from 6-12 months. I worked full time from the time she turned 2 months old so nursed her when I was at home and pumped when at work. He was hard work but worth it.
Avatar f tn On the down side, for some women, a small amount of time not nursing can dry up the milk.. so it may be that it has been too long. Sucking from the mothers breast is in fact more work for a baby than using a bottle, so you will need to put in heaps of time encouraging the wee one to suckle from the breast, try squeezing out a few drops to sit on the nipple before "tempting" bubs with it so he can get the taste.
Avatar f tn How long can u leave it out after being pumped? Or can u put it in a cooler pack thing for how long?
Avatar f tn How long does it take to lose most of your pregnancy weight I've lost 12 pounds and its been a week since I had my baby
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 Or should i just put it in something else and defrost it and then put in the bottle and i can just sit in hot water it doesn't have to be boiling i can just sit it in there??? And after that how long should it sit in the refrigerator? ???
2207301 tn?1340990867 Just freeze it is what I've always heard!
435139 tn?1255460391 t find the storage info the hospital gave us...how long can we let it sit at room temp? I HATE to think of all my pumping and hard work going to waste BUT I want it to be safe for drinking!
Avatar m tn There are a few different herbal remedies you can use to help increase your production of breast milk. One popular supplement that has been approved as a safe supplement is Fenugreek. Fenugreek is used both as an herb and as a spice. Fenugreek is frequently found in curry. For women breastfeeding, fenugreek seeds are used to help increase milk supply.
8023513 tn?1404352955 It will give you an idea of how long baby is feeding, and how much milk baby is getting. so you have an estimate of how long to pump.
676912 tn?1332812551 Ok, so I decided to pump one side to see how much I was getting out, and Sunday when I pumped on the right side I got just over an ounce, and now I'm getting about half an ounce... I guess I'm just worried because after my milk came in with my son my supply went down from there and I was never able to produce enough for him. I think I caused some confusion in my last post with asking about my breasts getting hard/full feeling.
Avatar f tn ever use the microwave that goes for formula and breast milk. It can take all the good stuff out of the milk. I work at a daycare and we use bottle warmers and when we have more then one baby that needs theirs warm we even heat up some water and put the bottle in there for a min or so.
Avatar f tn Depends. Your milk should've dried up by now. But if your producing milk then maybe.
Avatar f tn Has anyone done both at the same time?? Whether it's been formula and breast feeding or formula and bottle fed breast milk?? What's your experience been? How was baby with two types? What type of formula dos you use? Tell me everything !
Avatar f tn how long does it take for it to dry out? I'm a first time mom & I pumped for the first 2weeks but not a lot came out.
1080032 tn?1326414386 After pumping can I leave my breast milk sitting out if my daughter will be eating 2hrs later? I don't have a bottle Warner so I would hate to put it in the fridge.
