Hello, Emma here. Congrats on your EBM volume. I just started mine and would like to seek your advise. Do you just EBM totally ? I have problem latching bb on... Am thinking of just giving EBM. Any advise?
I'm remember you. You delivered your baby? When? Congrats!
I latch, pump and bottle feed.
Try to latch bb as it helps to increase your milk supply. But then, I also have friends that pump only, their milk supply also very good. So whether you latch or pump or do both, you must be comfortable.
Did you have a lactation consultant to help you? Even I'm 2nd time mummy, during my hospital stay, the LC helped me to get a good latch. With more practice (for you and baby), the baby will learn to open the mouth big big to take in the aerola and nipple.
I get blocked ducts easily so latching also help me to clear the blocked ducts. I'm also more diligent this time round, I set alarm to wake up in the wee hours to pump to avoid engorgement and blocked ducts.
Jia You!

Yes, on 2nd Jan. Yup, I had a LC during my hospital stay. Even went to consult one after I got discharged.
He refuses to latch on. Suckle a few times and will spit it out. So thinking of just expressing. However, my milk supply is not coming in. Today is day 8, and I am only getting abt 50ml. Haiz, feeling stressed abt the volume now...
Ok, I will try to latch him on a few times to practice....
Don't feel stress. Motherhood is not all about breastfeeding. While breast milk is good, but it won't do you and baby any good if you are stressed about it. Keep an open mind and heart. Relax and your milk will increase.
