She did apply some cream on it. It do relieve then it will come back I think this rashes has been around for two weeks d.

She doubt that whether thr baby did latch properly when feeding. Thats the reason she would like to seek for a consultation. And she said her baby will never get enough and mummy supply is low. Sometimes I heard that her nipples craxk quite bad too when the baby suck too much. Her baby feel cranky and wanted to latch. Then let her to latch on she will drink for few minutes and fall asleepp. She feels so comfortable when latching then asleep. As if like she needs a pacifier.

Same with my daughter. She always fall asleep when latching. Did the BF mother knows how much she can produce in a day? For my wife, she is able to feed the baby when she in need and also able to store around 10 - 15oz a day. Thankfully, maybe because she took some protein milk and supplement to maintain her breastmilk.
Or at least, the mother should drink and eat too because the milk has to be produced by some source of diet.

Did she apply nipple cream on her cracked nipple? My wife also had these problem in her first 2 weeks. Now, everything is fine and smooth.

And also she can try to learn the language of the baby's cry. She can search on Youtube "Dunstan Baby Language".

Hope this helps.

can a breastfeed mum take glucosamine?

Yup..

But you should take more calcium and Vit D too

I have been breastfeeding since the birth of my baby and my baby is 6 months now.

My baby will want more milk soon, am afraid I will not have enough for the baby. Are there ways that increase my milk supply?

What I have done and doing:
-take fenugreek supplements
-drink red date water
-latch breastfeed my baby everyday morning and night
-eat fatty fish like salmon
-drinking enough water daily

I read that i can see my doctor and ask for medication to increase breastmilk, is it good?

Thanks

What you have done are among the popular and best ways to increase your breastmilk.
But, if you are willing to give a try on other products that can enhance your breastfeeding experience, I could share it with you.

if you are going back to work, then start at least one month b4....and get other people to bottle feed her. my baby, now 8.5 month, still doesn't accept bottle from me up till now; she onli accepts bottle from the nanny....

My wife has been breastfeeding for about a few days on our week old baby. ( she missed the first day due to effects of GA as emergency csec has to be performed, in which during that time the nurses has fed our baby with formula milk). She wanted to pump out some milk so that our parents can still continue to feed her when she's not around (like she go for a routine obgyn checkup).

She tried pumping for about 5 minutes but no milk is being expressed. Hand express yielded some milk, but the process is too slow, (30 mins for less than 10ml of milk).

Is it too early to pump? She's using Phillips Avent Comfort eletric pump, the purple one.
