on breastfeeding and breastmilk

[diamme]

@gr8pinay congrats sa imong pagpadayon ug breastfeed. pra nako basta ma defrost or mamelt ang milk sa room temperature whether tungod sa init tubig or gibyaan lang hangtud mahilis, ipaconsume nako within an hour. if wala ka intention na ipa-inum, i-defrost nlng sa ref overnight para next day, liquid na. then you can let the baby feed on it within that day.

mugamay gyud na imong supply basta i-supplement nimo ug formula. if you really intend to last long breastfeeding then i suggest to pump as often sa office bahalag gamay ra ang makuha...kung once ra in a 9-hour work day, make it 2 times then three, gradual hangtud maanad ka nga every 2-4 hours ang pag pump. or else you will really be forced to give it up unya mag formula nlng ka. but try lng kay mao man say gusto sa baby.

@Diamme: sis, di ba naa pud daw mga ingredients sa certain creams and lotion or anything topical nga dili pwede sa breastfeeding moms? I think AHA and tritinoin ba to..ikaw, unsa imo mga gilikayan nga products while nag bf?

sa akong na-read sauna, okay ra basta not more that 4 cups/day kay musiga nasad ang mata sa imong baby ana apil.. ako i drink coffee every now and then.. wala ra man ko nabantayan nga difference sa akong milk supply ug sa behavior sa akong baby.. hehe.

my wife kay ng breast feed.. and I am so proud of it as a father. healthy ang baby, then maclose jud sa mother ang bata, a big plus igkadako.. and of course.. libre!

sorry sa wala ngpabreastfeed.. pero dili ko ganahan mo inum ang ako baby ug gatas sa baka.
cows milk are for cows. hinuon, naa jud mother nga wala choice. mglagot lng ko maminaw sa uban nga mothers nga wala ng breast feed kay maguba daw ilang figure.

hi marisse and gr8pinay! murag na answer na inyo mga pangutana from replies here. ang ako lang ma-add is, any drink nga naay dehydrating effect sa imo, mao nay kontra sa production of milk. d sad ko hingape so i cant tell if naay difference. sauna g.avoid kog chicken, and other food na maka-allergy when my baby was less than a year old but now, wala na..i think ok raman jud to take *almost* anything basta in moderation. apil na ang topical creams, but to be safe mas maau jud mu-consult ug doctor to ask if a certain food, medication, etc is okay for breastfeeding moms

i am quite surprised (in a positive way) sa info nga na gather ini nga thread. daghan kau tag ma-learn. salamat istoryans for sharing what you know.

@jeszeiahsmom recommended exclusive b-feeding for the first 6 months. ug sa ads pa "BF-ing is best until 2 years."
..ana jud, practice makes perfect. i just pity other moms who practice and eventually give up kay tungod sa kakapoy (been there sa ako first-born). it really pays if you have help the first attempts in breastfeeding. for example kanang naay mutabang ug clean up or take care of the baby after you pump or breastfeed so you can take a rest in between "practice sessions".. maka-drain baya na especially in the night when baby is just a few months old labi na if those attempts are not successful.

ideally, the mom should be surrounded by supportive people so husbands like @garlic, saludo kos inyo suporta sa imo misis. maytag managhan mo! usahay suporta coupled by lack of knowledge, maoy maka hinder nato gud...

i'm a proud breastfeeding mom to my 2nd baby. On my first baby mixed fed siya (formula & Breastmilk). I worked in an office before and I also pump milk. Although mixed siya dili fully breastfed, he got hospitalized pag 11 months og pag 13 months niya. so twice siya na hospitalized then he was asthmatic too. He's 3 now and he goes to nursery. medyo gahi og ulo & dugay kasabot. On my second baby, he is exclusively breastfed. no hospitalization! twice ra gi hilanat dili kaayo grabe. dili hilakon. happy baby kaayo. I have a cousin who breastfed his son until 3 years and the kid is so smart! he knows the alphabets the age of two and can fluently read and write now that he is 3 years old. So on my second baby which is still 13 months old now. I'm planning to breastfed him up to 3 yrs. and to those nangutana kung ok ra mo drink og coffee. I think ok ra I'm a coffee drinker(2 cups a day) just drink lots of water. and also because nagbreastfeed ko 1 yr and 10 mos. ko wala gidugo so dili kalas og napkin hahaha
