Good evening

Good to be back here again
Is it normal for one breast to produce very little milk compared to the second?
I didn’t use a breast pump with my first child so I couldn’t have noticed if this was the case then

Although my breast milk supply is quite low with this baby, but after managing to pump like 90ml from the left breast, my right breast barely produced milk enough to fill a bottle water cover. It’s ridiculously low compared to the left. Is that normal

Get cabbage, refrigerate it, then take the cold leaves and wrap around your breasts, using the bra to keep it in place. You will be relieved

Well, I don't know if normal is the right word but yes I had same experience. My right boob always produced more milk when I express but for some unexplained reason my dd was rejecting the right boob at the same.
You can simultaneously breastfeed off one boob and express the other..the sucking helps increase the flow on the expressed side.

If he pees alot, actually to me, its good. As for the cough and catarrh, for me, I use sheer butter for my kids, melt it, give him little to lick/drink. Rub some on his chest and nose,it works for me, I don't know for others and it was an old woman that taught me back then which I do use till date. I do use honey as well, it works like wonder, it clears cough. Give him to lick and also mix with his drinking water. Believe me it works. And Pls just be careful on the drugs you give him, he is still a very little baby and a delicate system too. I wish him quick recovery

honey isnt good for infants below 1yr...according to doc google. it causes a serious illness called botulisim, pls shina ya eyes and research more

That was how my daughter crawl when she was little, from tummy to backward. Lol. I just let her be then. If I position her well, she goes back to tummy or moving backwards. And the next thing is to see her trying to stand, then walk.

Oats
Pap
U can try lactation tea, cookies n a that stuff.

But u need to pump more so that ur body can respond to produce more cos its sort of like a demand n supply thingy.

Congratulations mama.

Plenty rest (I know!.... it doesn't make sense when you have to pump every 2 hours), plenty water, hot pap and pump pump pump.
20-40mls on day 8 isn't too bad...the supply will increase as you keep pumping.

If you have those battery operated pumps that you can carry around, you can just strap it on with pumping bra and pump all day round.
Else, have someone be washing and sterilising the pump in between pumps while you rest.
And eat well too, that also helps.

Lol. Momma that color is ur baby's original color. Most babies are born fair and gradually darken within the ist 2 yrs of their lives.
Know this and have peace.Cussons for me is good. You don't want to start using products detrimental to ur baby's fragile skin/organs.

I didn't quite get the hair part.
