thx

yoo..wassap mommas...
got a lil info for u guys...anyone tried green papaya soup?..basically it's young unriped papayas..boiled in soup..
my wife has been drinking that and OMG...the flow now it's crazy!!!! i dunno is it coincidental that the milk is starting to properly come on now..or it's due to this soup...but just wondering if u guys have tried it..

this site even has a list of medication which is safe during breastfeeding.. just need to check on the list.

Great to know..that..i'll ask nicKit to post this up on the first page..so that new mommas can use this method.

How to do the soup? have what ingredient?

sunflower...besides knowing what to boost your milk supply..pls ensure that latching on is correct too...coz this is one of the main thing that moms forget or take for granted (thinking that it's simple)

Added on June 28, 2011, 10:37 amthe 1st and most important hurdle in breastfeeding is latching on..then followed by supply.

If you get your latch on correct..then you only have to worry on upping your supply. If you get your latch on wrong..and not enough supply (sometimes due to wrong latch on - because baby is not expressing from breast correctly)...you got 2 things to worry.

Added on June 28, 2011, 10:41 amanother i like to add..is make sure baby drinks the hind milk..that's where the most nutrition and most filling for baby.

When baby is drinking milk..the milk that comes out first (which is slightly watery clear/bluish tinge) is called the foremilk. This foremilk usually would quench the baby's thirst. Then, after the foremilk (depends on how well & long your baby suckle), is the hindmilk..this milk is the one with the fats and nutrition that is filling for your baby.

another quick question, how long do you mummies pump per session?
just wanna know coz I know some mummies can pump for 1.5 hours..

wah!!..i was not rajin enough..about 45 mins or so...coz i'm using Avent manual..very tiring LOL

iii!
wow.... Thanks you guys suggestion and experience.....
i will take note...of it...

my wife now uses hand expression. slowly massage and it will fill up bottles .

i dunno about the ingredients in the papaya soup...i know green papaya's one of them

another tip to know if ur baby's getting enough hindmilk...it'll be the poop colour...if it's greenish...it means too much foremilk (lactose)..if it's hindmilk..like phythia said..it has more fats and good/necessary proteins.

yes...you are right

I salute your wife! I dunno how to do the hand expression.

hmm..it's not really that difficult (easy for me to say..)..might be a little too obscene for me to be describing the process here...haha..but u can consult certain masseuse who specializes in these things.

VaLeNrUdOn, i oso salute ur wife~!

mummies, recipes up in post #1... if u wanna increase ur milk oso can refer there

u know the nurse at maternity center told my hubby to help in simulating the milk... u know what i mean... but at that moment (after delivery and all) i was too grossed out think abt anything intimate

really kah? yikes..i won't even think about it at that time.

eh, qarezma, which hospital u're going to? i went to sultan ismail n the nurse asked us to bf bb n u can ask the nurse how to bf too... the pricing is same wif sultanah aminah...
