I have tried all the above methods and it was flowing at a time but I think I introduced bottle too early and sufferd from sore nipples initially... baby doesn't just want the breast anymore and milk is drying up.i still have warm baths and stay hydrated. I don't have access to a lactation expert. I guess that would have helped. Is there still hope of breastfeeding my angel, what else can I do? How can I help my baby to suckle again? I am considering palmwine but I read it could end up sedating baby...HELP!titonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-88579120601727404652017-03-08T20:11:36.785+00:002017-03-08T20:11:36.785+00:00Please where can I get the fenugreek spices Please where can I get the fenugreek spices Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198853275339196982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-92029919651114108772017-03-08T20:08:35.631+00:002017-03-08T20:08:35.631+00:00Please where can I get the fenugreek spices Please where can I get the fenugreek spices Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198853275339196982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-77063856172639368672017-01-30T18:15:19.411+00:002017-01-30T18:15:19.411+00:00Pls can anyone recommend a lactation consultant in...Pls can anyone recommend a lactation consultant in Lagos.

Flat nipples coupled with the fact that there was no support emotionally, i mixed fed till she was 3months and i gave up. She will be 7months in few days and i have strongly desired to give breast feeding another shot. I tried pumping today but nothing came out just saw dots of water and colostrum on my nipples. I will keep trying cos i heard Relactation is possible. Don't know any LC in Lagos but if any one knows where i can get Fenugreek, kindly post (would appreciate). I have resumed my pap tonight.

I'm ...Hello sis yemi.... This piece was needed. I'm a new mom with a 4weeks old baby. Pregnancy was good. Labour was supernatural. But breastfeeding has been hellllllllllllllll........ OMG...... I have flat nipples to start with.. So latching on for the first few eek was hell... We struggle for about 5minutes before he latches on. Then after that the milk flow is low. I took pap the a fault, had warm baths and still the milk would be dripping like tap. Immediately i express it, i don't get more than 30ml at expressing. But another reason is ihad an incision and drainage on one of the breasts for about 2weeks now. So he's been feeding only one one breast. So i want to believe when the other one is back the milk flow would be superb and i would go back to exclusive. Because it's more of formula than breast milk now.

But I must confess I hated breastfeeding, if not for bonding time I wouldn't have cared much. My mum didn't breast feed any of us for more than 6mnths, we turned out fine ,thank you. One of the reasons I hated BF is that my breast when it comes flows like tap, I wear breast pads till I stop breast feeding. Like if baby is sucking in on one ,the other one will start leaking, very messy. I always had pads handy. Even when I go to work before I know it ,it's full and all my shirt will stain .I don't even know how I manged to bf my youngest till 15mnths. yujubeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239356832528227451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-9865974179561058882015-10-20T10:00:51.113+01:002015-10-20T10:00:51.113+01:00I typed this really long comment and then it disap...I typed this really long comment and then it disappeared ! Anyway just to say well done on successfully breastfeeding! I was blessed to have a lactation consultant when I had my first baby and I learnt that what's most important is a good latch.. Make sure ur whole nipple enters baby's mouth.. Also hardly anyone has flowing milk for the first day or two rather it's colostrum (aka liquid gold).for most people and contrary to what most people think your baby will be fine and does not need glucose or formula unless your milk is delayed for days . This is why many babies loose a little in the first few days it's normal, as long as they add it back and are producing enough wet diapers by the next week ur on track. whole idea of a nurse massaging ur whole breast Sounds painful and frankly don't think it's necessary ..there's is a way to gently way to coax the ducts into action.. Not with force like I've seen some people do. Just keep putting the baby to the breast and if he or she sleeps you can gently wake baby up.. Also a good pump helps. if you introduce bottle very early then most babies will prefer it to the breast as it's easier to suck a bottle than a breast.. The baby will just take the easier route. Lastly apart from pap you can also try fenugreek spice in pap or tea to really help your milk flow!

It was so painful (with some bleeding as well), even more than labour to me and I was like why did nobody tell me. Although my milk flowed at the start, it took about two weeks for the pain to stop and breastfeeding was actually so rewarding in the end. What helped with the pain was using lansinoh on my nipples. To encourage milk flow I took a lot of milo and oats and baby was exclusive for 6 months. <br /><br />www.wurassecrethair.blogspot.comTonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383933483200172835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-79499346969967511982015-10-19T10:37:51.855+01:002015-10-19T10:37:51.855+01:00this is me exactly, the only difference is i still...this is me exactly, the only difference is i still work ( and on the island). My baby girl would be 7months in a week and i breastfed her exclusively for 6mths, breast feeding is still like 65 - 70 % now still. the logic is really demand and supply o, even when there is no demand try and supply (by expressing). <br />I was made to understand that at first colostrum (high in nutrient) comes out from the breast (you may not be able to see it) but it is sufficient for the baby as the have a very tiny stomach. The first week my baby lost some weight then i started to express, saving her the stress of sucking hard, i think this really helped her, i only feed her directly (at the beginning when i was sure there was enough supply for her or for bonding. babies dont really need so much milk cos their stomach is so small 20 - 25mls every 2 hours was fine for my baby, this would keep increasing as baby grows though but by 6months 100,120, 150 ml would do the baby (for 2 - 3hrs) moreover you would have been producing enough. supply increases as baby's demand increases. The funny thing i noticed was rice did it for me o, i know it sounds weird but yes, water is very necessary too.'Busolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585229918613316632noreply@blogger.com
