semuanya keranamu

semalam borak dengan ely pasal bf... mama concern sikit sebab bila susukan aidan, pastu perah, keluar tinggal sikit je.. every 3 hours akan perah.. especially after feeding aidan.. rasa kering je.. yang keluar tak banyak.. selalunya lepas aidan minum cuma boleh dapat 2 - 2.5oz je.. seriau juga.. takut tak dapat nak fulfill 100oz stok sebelum naik kerja.. ely suggest makan alfalfa, spirulina dan fenugreek (halba)

petang semalam papa pi la local pharmacy kat sini.. tapi semuanya tulis need consultation from Dr before consuming.. pelik juga.. sedangkan kawan2 semua makan.. tp bila google, memang boleh makan laa... so, petang ni kalau sempat mama nak ke G.NC cari alfalfa n fenugreek kat situ.. papa tak bagi makan SHAK.lee... ntah, katanya ubat brand tu kuat dos dia.. sebab kawan2 dia ada jual..

bila baca artikel ni rasa lega je.. rupanya yang baby minum dah cukup.. mama kena pelan2 kayuh untuk kumpul stok aje.. insyaAllah boleh..

How Can I Increase My Milk Supply?

This is a common breastfeeding question. When mothers observe certain normal changes and behaviors, they may assume their milk supply has decreased. This is often a "false alarm." Other times, a mother's milk supply may truly need to be increased. This FAQ will help you determine if you need to increase your milk supply as well as give you ways to increase your milk supply if appropriate.

The FAQ Is My Baby Getting Enough? also pertains to milk supply. Reading that FAQ will help you learn the indicators that your baby is receiving enough of your milk. If your baby is thriving on your milk then you can be assured that you have an adequate milk supply. The most up-to-date information on increasing your milk supply, including podcasts, journal articles and book reviews can be found on our Milk Supply Issues Web resource page.

At times, mothers are unnecessarily alarmed about their milk supply. They may not be aware of the normal process of breastfeeding. For example, by about the time a baby reaches 6 weeks to 2 months in age, mother's body has learned how much milk to make. Around this time, many women no longer feel "full." In addition, baby may be only nursing for five minutes at a time. These are not signs of decreased milk supply. They simply mean that both mother and baby are becoming more adept at breastfeeding. Mother's body has adjusted to the requirements for her baby and baby has become very efficient at removing the milk.

Some mothers become concerned about their milk supply if their baby begins to have fewer bowel movements. By about 6 weeks after the birth, colostrum is no longer present in a mother's milk. So this may mean that baby's bowel movements will decrease to one every day or even a few times each week. This is normal.

Another age-related "false alarm" is that babies will experience several "growth spurts" in the first few months of life. Generally, these occur around two to three weeks, six weeks and three months of age or they may happen at any time. These are days when baby wants to nurse longer and more frequently to build up mother's milk supply. Follow baby's lead on this by letting him breastfeed as often and as long as he wants. This will help bring up milk supply quickly. The breasts work on the law of supply and demand. The more baby "tells" mother's breasts to make milk, the more milk she will have.

By allowing your baby to nurse more frequently for a few days, your body will receive the message that more milk is needed for your growing baby. Once your supply has increased, your baby will usually return to his usual routine.

If, after reviewing the Is My Baby Getting Enough FAQ and ruling out the false alarms mentioned above, you find that you do need to increase your milk supply, get help. If your baby is not gaining well or is losing weight, you will want to keep in close contact with your baby's doctor. Often, improving breastfeeding techniques will help resolve the situation quickly, but in some cases slow weight gain may indicate a health problem.

Here are some ideas that may help you to increase your milk supply. Look them over and consider which might work for you.

  • Contact a local La Leche League Leader for information and support.
  • Encourage your baby to breastfeed frequently and for as long as he will.
  • Offer both breasts at each feeding. Allow baby to stay at the first breast as long as he is actively sucking and swallowing. Offer the second breast when baby slows down or stops. "Finish the first breast first," is a good general rule. (This technique gives baby lots of the fatty "hindmilk.")
  • Baby should end the feeding. He may do this by falling asleep and detaching from the breast after about 10 to 30 minutes of active sucking and swallowing.
  • Be sure baby is latched on and positioned correctly at the breast, that is, lips should be on the areola (the darker skin area), well behind the nipple. An LLL Leader can help fine-tune positioning as well as suggest ideas to ease soreness. Breastfeeding isn't supposed to hurt.
  • A sleepy baby may benefit from "switch nursing" that is, switching breasts two or three times during each feeding. Switch breasts when baby's sucking slows down and he swallows less often.
  • All of baby's sucking should be at the breast. Limit or stop pacifier use while encouraging baby to nurse more effectively. If you are supplementing, even temporarily, you can give the supplement by spoon, cup, or with a nursing supplementer. Contact an LLL Leader for assistance in using these.

This may be a stressful time. Take care of yourself. Pay attention to your own need for rest, relaxation, proper diet and enough fluid

hang pandai2 je ek.. hahaha..
btw, mast aku pun tak suggest hang ambik fenugreek tu le sbb tak semua bdn bole accept termasuk aku.. For me spirulina is better than fenugreek :D

Lagi satu tip utk kumpul stok is ko pam dulu b4 bf Aidan, sbb suction baby is better than suction pump. Mmg kita da rasa B tu kosong tapi tidak pada baby.

nasihat aku plak mas:

Sama mcm Ealyie, ko x payah beli Fenugreek tuh. Macam aku hari tuh, x berkesan pun. Bazir duit jerk. Dahlah kapsul bukan main punya besar. Macam aku, aku makan nasi lemak dengan minum susu dutch lady low fat jek.. Alhamdulillah, banyak perubahan.. Badan pun x naik lah...

Pasal bila ko dah susukan aidan, susu pam sikit jek, itu memang biasa... Standard.. Jangan risau.. Insya Allah makin banyak stok ko nanti... Macam aku skang memang lebih byk sgt2, sampai ada terpikir "boleh derma kat ibu-ibu yang kurang susu ni"

Dan lagi 1, jangan stress tau!
