. This what i do when my breast milk almost stoped cus my baby weight was 1.2kg at birth and i had to express for him and not puting him to breast for almost two months but at a point in time my breast milk supply reduced so my mum will make amala and ewedu and she will ask me to eat it hot like, that i will be sweating by the time the amala will digest breast milk is coming on its own already. Another food i took was pounded yam, any time i eat pounded yam my breast milk will be much that my baby will not be able to meet up with the supply and i will express it away. The most important thing is that eat these foods very well and be full, dont eat like oyinbo ooo and expect milk to come
Pls am a ftm too and not getting enough milk. do i have to eat the amala and ewedu everyday for the milk supply?

Ur emotions affect milk supply. d frustration wont help
@tchiwinnie,you're right but I wish I can stop obsessing about it. Its really annoying to think that I'm having such a hard time providing milk for my baby despite all my efforts when most women do it with so much ease.
bossladyMo:

Check NETT Pharmacy if you are in Lag...
@bossladyMo, I'm not in lag, I stay at phc. I'll keep looking in big pharmacies in town tho. Thanks for the reply
favoredgal:

b-milk is a demand and supply process. the formula you are giving is interfering with your production. you don't even need to eat and be fat because you want to nurse. my advice is by a pump and pump on a schedule (every two hours for now) to trick your body into thinking your baby needs that milk every two hours. trust me your supply will respond.
i had the same issue and under three days of religiously pumping round the clock every two hours, i was lactating like a cow
i drank lots of water and plain tea...no pounded yam, no pap
@favoredgal,
I have tried pumping. Initially,I used Avent manual breast pump I couldn't pump any milk just a few drops that didn't enter into the bottle then I tried tommee tippee single electric breast pump & had d same result. I know I'm not producing much but I don't know why I can't seem to pump out the little I've produced.

my baby had it too when she was 3 weeks old .I use sheabutter and skineal like the nurse tld me at the hospital,mix them equal part and apply.one week later the alefo clear. for the mean time did not bath her with hard sponge or try to burst it because when the water touch another spot t will appear there like chickenpox. then later use dusting powder.

Its nt so adviceable to use dusting powder for children as some of dem may hv G6PD deficiency(a defect in the red blood cell), and therefore 'worsen'it

yes na. U will also notice that ur breast milk will increase and u will have the strenght to breat feed well. The most important thing is to swallow and take alot of fluid.

Pus is never a good sign. And plus a fever....don't overlook it.

Hello, she is obviously teething but nothing to worry about. But pls make sure her nails are always trimmed so as not to store germs underneath as she puts her fingers in her mouth.

NoQualms1:
Is moringa safe for brea.stfeeding mums? I know it's not safe for pregnant women.

My 3 months old baby drools a lot and puts her hands in her mouth, at times it's as if she's sucking her finger, other times it's as if she just keeps the hand(s) in her munth. Could it be teething? She does nt run fever.

Hi dear. Same thing happened to a friend. I feel it was not administered well. For it to be bringing out pus that's abscess. My friend used ampiclox syrup (recommended by the paediatrician) and kept applyin ice block wrapped in a wash cloth on it. But pls take ur baby back to d hospital I m sure an antibiotics will be recommended.

Hi everyone, pls my baby's lap where she was given her 6weeks immunizations is swollen for over a week now, I was told not to press it n I did not. Is it normal or should I go back to d clinic? Don't want it to turn to injection absess oh. Thanks.

I know I'm not producing much but I don't know why I can't seem to pump out the little I've produced.

Continue, when I started I had few drops too. Infact I used to wonder why my baby will be on the breast for hours until pumping made me realize I had no supply.

Just do it religiously on a schedule- a 2 hr schedule, u will see change. It's a demand and supply process. If you demand it, your body will supply it

Good afternoon fellow mamas. I am a ftm of a 3wks old baby. Please I need some help. My baby is defecating like four to five times a day. Is it normal for her age? A woman that visited me said that I should stop eating vegetables and fruits and beans because they are the cause of the frequent defecation in my lo. How true is this cos am just hearing this for the first time. Is rising powder good for treating rashes in children of her age? Please advise needed.
