I was lucky that my boss let me pumps during office hours...just as long as it didn't get in the way during busy times.
I recalled..there was a whole day meeting..and i could only pump during lunch and after the meeting at 6 plus..gosh! my breast was hard like a rock! (usually i would pump at about 10am, 2pm and 5pm). That was during my critical bf days..where i pump 3x a day at work.. |

QUOTE(Mommy_2011 @ Jul 18 2011, 11:00 AM) No worries, I still manage to grab something for lunch during the other half hour after my pumping session. did you inform your boss and colleagues that you are pumping milk? Coz my colleagues were very helpful..they'll cover for me when i'm busy pumping..unless it's urgent (which is very rare). Sometimes I do sneak out to the Prayer Room and pump for abt 15min if my boss not around he he... Otherwise I'm sure to get breast engorgement   |

I remembered the ikan haruan essence
I didn't quite like it..so my mom cooked the fish.My nurses were good...they brought Xander to me everytime...even in the middle of the night when i was sleeping. So i had no problem. I remembered my doc came to check on me..and i was breastfeeding Xander..he commented that Xander was smart to latch on as most newborns take some time to learn. He also mentioned not to give any other nipple or pacifier as he may then reject my breast (which thankfully didn't happen to me *phew*). |

celestra...try drinking the fenugreek tea...it helped me to increase and maintain my supply. Some ppl..like me..have to work very hard just to have enough milk...but i can tell you that it's totally worth it.

QUOTE(sbux @ Aug 5 2011, 12:35 AM) congrats! and don't give up!!! q...welcome back..i messaged you this morning...and i agree with sbux comments above..hmm... dont pat him.. its soothing for him.. I always tell my friends, baby would wake up for feeds if he is hungry. so don't worry if baby sleep through. Tell ur hubby, at this time, baby should be swimming in your womb. So he may not be ready. U don't stress.. if baby not feeding, u still have to pump every 2 hours to stimulate milk production. Stress will make your body produce less milk. AND, try to wake baby and latch on around 3am.. where the prolactin hormone is the highest and greatest... What can u do if there is nipple confusion? Drop the bottle and only offer baby your breast. Its easier said than done, i know. but once baby is looking for milk, offer your breast first.. Try spoon feeding. Erm, most importantly, talk to hubby... Always try offering your breast..slowly..don't stuff it into his face..as it may scare him. I know your hubby sure gancheong...just tell him..don't worry..if baby is hungry..will wake up and drink. |

hmm..on the part of not latching on when he's hungry..maybe coz..he's too hungry liao..so can't wait..and also coz he has to do a little bit of more work compared to the bottle.
also..probably..when he cries..you panic..and he can feel it too..they know once you are not comfortable or too gan cheong..they will then also react. hang in there...just keep on trying..it's not easy at first...remember...all of us have gone through similar cases...you are not the first..neither you are alone |

I used to sing to Xander when he was restless during bf...maybe it can help to soothe/calm him by singing.
