I have been a silent reader all this while.  I have got lots of tip on breastfeeding here e.g. how to increase milk production and stories of how determine some mummies to breastfeed their babies which makes me wanted to continue bf/ebm my baby.  By this month end, it will be 6 months since I started bf my baby  biggrin.gif .  Initially my plan was to stop after 6 months but after reading all the stories make me want to continue.  My next target will be 1 year.  Hopefully I can make it.  Please include me into the breastfeeding list...since Apr 1, 2011.

Here I have a question to ask on behalf of my friend who is currently breastfeeding exclusively since she gave birth about 2.5 months ago.  She is now very stress as her baby girl only accept direct latch and does not take any bottle feed.  She has tried Breastflow, NUK, Avents nipples.  All the latex or silicon nipples just don’t work.  Night time she still needs to wake and feed her baby every 1-2 hours.  She will be back to work on Sep 26...still got another 2 weeks time.  Worst come to worst she may need to travel back home just to feed her baby during working hours.  Final solution is that she may need to quit her job.

Some advices I got from other forum is to bottle feed the baby (calmer) when the baby is not so hungry.  My friend has tried but not working.  The moment she put in anything other than her nipple she will starts crying. 

Anyone please help!!!! icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Hi Snowee,

Congrats on your BF journey.

I'm a mommy with a boy of almost 8months. I faced the exact same situation faced by your friend. I directly BF baby for 2 months and I had to return to work afterwards. So I pumped milk and gave my babysitter EBM everyday but my baby just wouldn't drink. I tried so many nipples also lah! Avent, NUK, Pureen Wide Neck, MAM etc etc. Never worked, cos mistake I did was never introduced bottle to my baby during the initial 2 months!

Then after I changed my babysitter, she tried feeding baby with EBM from a small spoon, then bit by bit baby got used to EBM. Then I bought Pigeon yellow color nipple which is quite soft and my baby liked it. After that I had no problem giving him EBM from bottle. So he still drinks...

Hope the above helps and u cud share wif u r friend!

But in the beginning did u go home and feed ur bb or just let him starve and cry till u return from work feed him?


Added on September 16, 2011, 2:22 pmThe journey of my friend from pregnancy till bfing was not easy.  She had morning sickness through out her pregnancy, hemmorroid and now bb feeding problem.

I feel myself very lucky. My problem is only getting pregnant cos i hv infertility problem. Through out my pregnant i can eat whatever i want, just a bit uncomfortable when sleeping cos too heavy and constipation has even improved. Feeding bb i hv no problem. .when bfing suddenly if no more milk then my bb will cry complaining i can still ask my hubby to make formula for her smile.gif then she will continue drinking from bottle.  And i don face any problem of MIL or hubby asking me to stop bfing.  My hb is very supportive cos he dun trust formula milk.  Now make me wanted to extend my bf period to a year. 

Today i m going to try bailey water, fenugreek and tomorrow papaya fish soup.  Hope it helps!

No lah, cannot let baby starve himself and cry until I return from work, so I had no choice but to introduce FM. That also I had so much trouble initially cos baby just refused to drink and I changed so many brands already... rclxub.gif Finally settled wif Enfagrow A+ cos I do not have sufficient EBM to fully feed him.

Hi Snowee,

I haven't travelled with my EBM, but I do keep it for around 14hrs during day time. I leave my house to work around 7pm and come back by 8pm.

Still my EBM stays fresh. I use Stylo mama bag and 3 gel packs.

Of course I stay in Air con whole day in office so not so hot!

Anyone here uses pureen sterLize pil?
Where u place the pil in the water.
I tried it but it has a funny Clorox type of smell...
Wonder how u guys dis infect /sterilize your bottles or baby item ?

Hi,

I tried using the pill once only. Then I too got the clorox sort of smell. Scared it might be too strong and might effect baby in a bad way. So I just use the Pureen bottle cleaning liquid to wash the bottles and then boil them for 5min. That's it.

my wife does not have lot of B.Milk after 1 week my daughter born. sad.gif yesterday only managed to get 1 onz

Hi,

I remember seeing answers from nicKit & phythia to similar posts. Demand = Supply. U r baby not even 1 month so she cannot drink so many ounces as her stomach is the size of her pea. 1 oz is extreamly good! don't b discouraged. Ask u r wife to keep Direct latching your baby. That will make her produce more and more milk cos baby is the best pump! Also its advisable for ur wife not to pump during the 1st month until her milk is established.

Hope this helps.

I'm using Pureen Battery operated pump. Last time I bought it for RM130. Using for 11months - 3 times (30min sessions) per day, and so far ok.

Not that great, like Medela freestyle but not so bad and not frustrating. Maybe u can buy that for a start with an adapter which wud cost abt RM15 - RM20...

Same with me... My 11months baby using me as a pacifier! Luckily I co-sleep with him. So for dream feeds every 2-3hrs in the night I just open my eyes and roll over side ways to feed. Sometimes I wake up from my sleep to find my baby still sleeping on top of me with my breast still in his mouth he he (Holding like a ham burger some more ! tongue.gif

Hi Mommies, I completed my 1st year of BF yesterday!!! rclxms.gif

Thank yuo to all u mommies for your support as well...

It definetly was not easy since BF needs a lot of commitment, determination and sacrifices, but I'm so glad that I was able to pull it through. I'm so proud & happy but this is not gonna be the end cos I'm hoping to BF him at least till my boy is 2yrs.
