7143736 tn?1396242800 Hey ladies so this is a weird question but I've been wondering, why is breast milk yellow? I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and I started "leaking" kinda back when I was 22 weeks and it was just clear but now lately if I squeeze them I get the clear stuff still but it always has a yellow color to it as well.
Avatar n tn I cut down some calories that im trying to stay lower than 1000 cals aday but my breast milk is becoming less as i noticed !! Do u have any specific diet for breast feeding moms ? Thanks!
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.
Avatar f tn Everyday I give my daughter A breakfast of eggs and fruits with cereal and a sippy with milk. For snacks, we do cheeses, yogurt and crackers, fruit bars, and another sippy. For lunch I mainly give her meats, cheese, veggies and more whole milk. Dinner she normally eats whatever we're having.. so veggies, starches, cheese, and meats. My daughter never liked baby food when she was smaller and went straight so chopped up table foods..
Avatar f tn At this point, the baby needs to be getting ALL his calories from breast milk or formula, unless as maw said the baby is constipated and the doc recommended apple juice. Formula and breast milk are brain food. Commercial apple juice is mostly sugar - and getting lots of sugar calories leaves the brain needing more brain food.
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.
Avatar f tn t have a good supportive bra when they were full of milk and so heavy.
Avatar f tn I heard when you breast feed you burn an extra couple hundred calories. So is it the same if you pump? I mean its the same as baby breastfeeding your just pumping. Also does it give baby the same nutrients? Like the colostrum and stuff?
Avatar f tn pasta), Low fat dairy or substitute dairy products (1 or 2% milk, low fat or non-fat yogurt, low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal).
Avatar n tn His weight is very above the 95th percentile and his height is between the 50-25th percentile for his age. He is very overweight for his age. It is recommend increasing children's physical activities (play, dance, sports) to lose weight, and not lower calorie intake due to the need of calories for growth. For his age he needs approximately 1800 calories a day to grow. Limit time in front of the TV or non-active-video games.
Avatar f tn I use a reduced fat milk (1.6 g/ 100 ml). My thoughts regarding the milk were more geared towards osteoporosis. People often say that the effect of drinking tea or coffee is like peeing out your bones. (Perhaps decreasing the number of cups and drinking it black cancel each other out??) The volume of milk I must drink must add a substantial number of calories. To be honest, I've been more concerned about the empty calories coming from misc. sources though.
Avatar n tn Your weight is above the 95th percentile and your height is just below the 90th percentile for your age. You did not state if you were active or not. It is recommend increasing children's physical activities (play, dance, sports) to lose weight, and not lower calorie intake due to the need of calories for growth. For your age you need approximately 1800-2000 calories a day to grow. Limit time in front of the TV or non-active-video games.
1205562 tn?1554747006 I recently heard that drinking one dark beer a day can really help increase your milk supply because of the yeast in the beer. I was skeptical so I researched it a little. And turns out, that yes, it's true!! Beer is second to napping for increasing milk supply!!! So for those of you who like a dark beer... drink up!! :-) My friend has twins and all the nurses told her to drink a beer every day for increased milk supply. Just a bit of information that I thought I'd share.
7826135 tn?1394734754 The hind milk (milk in the back basically) has mire calories so maybe pump before on one breast, give that breast to baby. Then offer other side and pump 2nd side after feeding to balance the calories. I always nurse between 10-20 min on one or both sides depending on what my son wants.
Avatar n tn I have read in some articles that breast milk takes between 500-800 calories to produce. I tried adding calories to my diet and gained 10 pounds in 12 days. That can't be right. So I cut back and am no stuck at 57 pounds over weight, according to this app I am burning far more then I take in and yet I can't loose. At all. What am I doing wrong! I'm about to give up if I can't win even a small battle!!!
Avatar f tn It can help you burn I believe 500 calories a day. BUT when you're breast feeding you're supposed to continue the caloric intake that you do in pregnancy, an extra 500 a day. I gained 10 pounds after losing 30 right after my daughters birth, but I blame that on being hungry so much from breast feeding.
Avatar m tn t going to make or break your gains. Consistency, steadily increasing poundages, increasing calories thru nutritious food, plenty of rest--these will work in the long run. You probably won't get as huge as the guys in the muscle-mags---99% of them are on drugs and that is an absolute fact.

9171934 tn?1405180032 t believe im the mother of this beautiful bby i cry everytime, just wayy too happy. Are any mommies breast feeding? Cause I've stared since day one n it ***** cause it hurts so bad also my milk production scks i only got the colostrum going n i hate that....idk if i should just give her formula because when i breast feed her she's always still so hungry....
Avatar f tn 2nd, your body is constantly using energy, aka burning calories, to make milk for your baby, like 500 calories a day! However, you are supposed to consume at least 300 calories more than normal to help balance the caloric requirements.
Avatar f tn Just like brown rice. Whole grain bread etc. and there are a lot of healthy fats. High in calories. Like avocado, peanut butter and olive oil. Also try to eat the high fat versions. Just like that: Breakfast: -2 cups of oatmeal, one cup of whole fat milk, Greek yoghurt with 10% fat and one large table spoon peanut butter. That add one banana.
Avatar f tn if you exclusively breastfeed, it can burn up to 500 calories a day.
Avatar f tn Hi I just gave birth 3months ago and have put on 50 pounds during the pregnancy. I am counting calories but am always hungry which is preventing me from sticking with a diet. As a result, am seriously considering taking the prescription pill (phentermine) to help supress my appetite. My question is, is it save to take this pill while breastfeeding?
Avatar f tn Try adding things like butter, mayonaise, and peanut butter to what you already eat. If you like milk, use whole milk to get some extra calories. Nuts are also a really healthy, high protein snack and have a denser calorie content. Rather than trying to force yourself to eat MORE foods, try and find a few high calorie supplements.
