Please how can I increase breast milk supply?

Presently I'm on constant pap and kunu Though it's helping, but when I don't take any of the two, my ds does not get enough breast milk. Please help cc realdentist, soonest, onegai and all sabi mamas |

jazzyjazz:Do u hv a breastpump? Can u try expressing BM and see how much you're actually getting out? Iomoge2 mentioned that fenugreek seeds and bitter leaf soup made with cocoyam helped boost her supply. You can try those Note: the more u breastfeed/pump, the more your supply Chei! jazzyjazz you have brought me to this thread when I neva pay dues. I greet olofuna o!! 5 Likes |

Yes I have a breast pump but it's manual and the most I've been able to get is 90ml from the left breast when it was engorged (I was giving him the right breast more as that was the first side to heal) If I pump without the breast being engorged, I mostly get 30ml or 50ml which is small I don't mind taking the fenugreek seeds. Any idea how I can get it? realdentist: |

jazzyjazz: How do you know you are not making enough bm? My advice is to keep eating right with lots of fluid. Keep putting baby to breast too cos the more he sucks the greater your supply will be. Cheers 1 Like |

Jazzyjazz, try not to take pap with Milo, I noticed it has not effect in improving bm, take hot watery pap with sugar or add evaporated milk like hollandia, feed him on demand, eat better food and reduce stress. D more u pump, d more it refills, don't mind how much that comes out but i prefer to pump only engorged breasts cos its less painful. Cheers |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by jazzyjazz: 12:52pm On Jan 25, 2017 |
I only use sugar and milk and the pap is usually watery. I also feed on demand hotmomma: |

Because my ds will suck for a while and then push the nipple away and cry. But if I offer him formula at that point, he will be rushing it I'll keep putting him to breast soonest: |

Good day sabi mamas, PLS HELP! my 6 months DS has been stooling for a week now and it seems at if the docs don't know how to stop it as none of the drugs given us so far worked. Pls any suggestions on what I should do. My DS has lost a lot of weight and I am very worried right now. |

@Danzak, guess ur baby is teething gradually, Try get PICCAN (Original) for teething symptoms. But if diarrhea persists, ORS is very important to replace lost electrolytes. Get well soon baby luv 1 Like |

DANZAK:Mix raw Pap about a table spoon and give him, other cereals like oatmeal and rice also helps to add bulk to poo. Practice optimum hygiene with him to avoid reinfection. Keep him hydrated at all times ORS is very important! Should the stooling persists past today and tomorrow without any sign of abating PLS TAKE HIM BACK TO THE HOSPITAL. Hope you've given him rota? 2 Likes |

DANZAK: Take him to another hospital ASAP and request to see a pediatrician. That said, is he bottle fed or breast fed or both? Has he started solids? The problem might be with his drinking water/water used in preparing his meals. Switch to nestle water at least till he fully recovers (make sure you boil it) and ensure all his feeding utensils are properly washed and sterilised after each use. Teething is not responsible for stooling (over 7 days). There is an underlying condition that should be treated. In future you can try home made "sugar and salt" solution. Based on my experience (I tried this when my son was 8months old), this method is most effective if the cause of the stooling is down to diet (for example, child has had too much fruits and veg) and it should be used on the very first day (say by the 4th stool). Boil about 50ml of water. Leave to cool (till it's about lukewarm). Add one tea spoon of salt and one and a half tea spoon of sugar. Mix together and taste it (it shouldn't be too salty or too sweet). Pour the mixture in a feeding bottle and give the child to drink. Get the child to drink at least 10-20ml and you can give the child little sips to drink later in the day. If after giving the child this solution and the child stools again, please go to the hospital. Stooling in children should never be taken lightly. I won't even wait till the next day as my threshold is 5 poos. Luckily, the salt and sugar mix has always worked for me after the 4th poo. 4 Likes 7 Shares |

Liftedhands: Thank you @ Liftedhands. I will try your method. Though someone said I should add a little palm oil to his pap without formula and give him for like 2 days. Have you heard of that method before? As for the Rota, we missed the first dose so I didn't bother giving him the rest or can I still do that? |

harbeordune:. Thank u ma, the teeth has not come out o, even though that was what the docs suspected at first but till now no show. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by DANZAK(f): 9:54am On Jan 26, 2017 |
helovesme: He only takes pap (homemade) and cereal for now. I use boiled Aquadana or Eva bottle water to prepare his meals. Hygiene is top notch. Took him to the hospital the second day and when the thing continued, we had to take him to a different hospital on Monday this wk. But the poo is still watery and greenish. Though not as frequent as before. I guess the sugar&salt solution you mentioned is kind of local ORS. He has been on ORS since the issue started. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by helovesme(f): 10:05am On Jan 26, 2017 |
DANZAK: Okay. Since hygiene is top notch and you've been to different hospitals then it's time for some root cause analysis. I can only think of his diet/food. I think you should stop the pap totally for now and also stop the current cereal he eating and try another brand. That might be the problem. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by harbeordune(f): 10:08am On Jan 26, 2017 |
DANZAK: Just take things easy with him, it's the teeth but it's a gradual process. Plus ensure that u r seeing a Peadiatrician. |

[quote author=helovesme post=53140853] Okay. Since hygiene is top notch and you've been to different hospitals then it's time for some root cause analysis. I can only think of his diet/food. I think you should stop the pap totally for now and also stop the current cereal he eating and try another brand. That might be the problem. Yea, I kind of agree with you on that because the last doc we saw said the same thing, in fact, he was sure is from the process of his food preparation to the feeding. But, the thing is that I am a working mum, and I cannot be 100% sure of what happens when I am at work, even after strict instructions to the nanny. However, he has been taking the pap with NAN1 for like 2 wks before the stooling. The only new thing I introduced was switching from NAN1 to NAN2. I stopped the NAN2 yesterday to see if that is what he is reacting to. Thanks a lot ma, for you prompt responses and follow up. |

Hello Mamas, how are we doing today? Pls i need your input on this issue. I have unequal bre.astmilk supply from my bre.asts. The right br.east supplies more than the left and the difference is very much. E.g. if i express in the morning, I get about 140-150 from the right bre.ast and then struggle to get about 50ml (60ml in very very rare cases) from the left br.east. I started noticing this obvious difference 3 weeks ago when i had serious engorgement in he left br.east (it took 3 days for the swelling and pain to go away) Is this normal?? Do i need to boost my supply to see if the left one will balance up? Thanks cc. liftedhands soonest helovesme all other mamas |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by rofemiguwa(f): 7:21pm On Jan 26, 2017 |
enque:The most sucked breast will produce more milk. Which breast does ur baby feed often with. It will give u more milk. Thank God d engorgement has gone down.try n alternative breast while feeding. Do not worry abt expressing more.one breast must definitely produce more milk dan d other. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by enque(f): 7:42pm On Jan 26, 2017 |
Thanks dear, I guess she feeds more from the right cos that was the one that started flowing first after delivery. but is the difference not so much?? rofemiguwa: |

Queen1:trying agbo if it's genuine is no big deal infact it's better dan cream made with chemical eilais something that comes from within yoruba will say it's dirty blood dat caused it and when ur baby drinks agbo it will flush it away , then use the agbo to bath her will clear it and prevents it from reoccuring 1 Like |
