Good evening all the mama's in the house. Pls has anyone taken fenugreek supplement to aid the flow of breast milk. I really want to breastfeed my 2nd LO. Thanks

What really works is putting the baby to the breast constantly. And also pumping to trick your body into providing more milk

It's a demand and supply process, the more you demand the more the body produces to supply

So if your baby feeds every 2 hr you can pump in btw, will really help stimulate the supply process
P.s I took fenugreek and it was a waste of time to me! What helped was the above

Lol! Just get the right materials and ur tailor can make it.find where they sell sample materials, that's where u can get the best stuff for it.

After trying to get her to take formula for a month, she just woke up one day and started accepting it but for cereal she took it right from the first day i introduced it. Pls just keep at it and be consistent i was always complaining on this forum when my baby refused to take the bottle to the extent that i was spoonfeeding formula (things my eyes have seen). My sister switching from breastmilk to other food for some of us is like war o may God help us all. Stay strong this too shall pass

Loool....ill keep at it.Thanks for the encouragement maama

Singing with the spoon. Seriously and let baby constantly watch you eat so they get used. to. the idea that food comes sitting upright and in a spoon and not a bottle.

Reason I felt he was ready for other food apart from solid was cos of how he looks at me when I'm eating.Sometimes he'll grab my hand if it's close sef,only to try the food and he's refusing them.I'll keep trying and hopefully he'll take them.

Hello Mamas, please I have some questions that have been bugging me. 1. How long after delivery via c-section can one take a normal bath as was obtainable before delivery? 2. How long after c-section can kpekusing start? 3.three weeks after delivery i'm still experiencing intense nipple pain when I breast feed. I've been using Avent nipple cream and it only gives slight relief. What can I do? 4. The stretch marks that appeared on my stomach during pregnancy hurt me now. Hot,peppery feeling like that. Any remedy for it? Thanks in advance for your responses.

U ve not started bathing? As long as ur stitches are off, I don't c any reason y u shldnt bathe. For kpekus, it varies wt pple. Since ur vjay was not tampered wt, oga can just start gently anytym from nw. Are ur nipples cracked? Does ur lo latch well whyl breastfeeding? Make sure ur areaolar and nipple are both in his mouth nt just d nipple. For d stretch marks, u cld b applying ori. Heard it works tho it takes tym.

Thanks for the response. Yes, nipples are cracked and sore. DS seems to latch well but DD's mouth is small. Even getting the nipple alone into her mouth successfully is when she's practically screaming. Would keep trying to get them both to latch properly.

Ask her pediatrician to check if she has either Upper Lip tie or Tongue Tie. There's a Yoruba name for it. It's a piece of muscle which develops pretty thick and stops babies from being able to open their mouths properly. They usually cut it or laser it off but some people leave it and hope it reduces by itself when the child is a teenager.

A few drops of breastmilk on d nipple helps heal cracked nipples. U ll hv to try to mk her latch properly o.

TUTU MAKING TUTORIAL

I haven't made one but I made something with the concept for an adult, so it's not hard.

If you have a day, you can make it (I don't know any tailors right now).

You can find all the materials pretty easily: the knit base is the same they use for hairbands or just buy elastic and tulle. Shikena. And you don't need to sew (because I can barely sew but it's easy).

If you don't want the tutu layers to be the same length, cut the top layers shorter than the bottom layers. So if your lower length is 6" cut 4" for the top layer.

Measure the tulle into the length for the baby and then tie it round the band, add more tulle to make it full. Fluff when you're done or add a bow.

If you know your tailor can do it, let him/her do it. But a tutu is really easy to make.

Sorry about the stress, dont worry so far you have gone to the hospital and yopt trust their medical team the baby will be fine. I had my baby too as preterm(34weeks) and he had jaundice,they treated him with the light bulb theraphy too and after some days when we went back for checkup, it was higher but they told us not to worry that i should make sure i breastfeed well. I think the bilirubim level shouldnt be more than 150 or so.The home theraphy i did was to take the baby out to the early morning sun. Let the sun touch the baby's skin. Other mamas will add theirs.

thanks for your response. please would the baby be naked and put in the sun or have clothes on ? I am asking cos of the harmattan

MiracleMum:


After Phototherapy, the hospital should have done another test to know the level of jaundice before discharging baby.
My daughter was in the light for 3 days after which they ran a test and i was told if the result of the test shows the jaundice is still high we wont be discharged because my baby will require blood transfusion. The jaundice was low when the result came out and we were discharged. Your nephews case may be different since he's preterm.
If your sis is not comfortable with her present hospital she should quickly seek the opinion of another hospital.
If she's in Lagos, she can try Lifeline childrens hospital in Lekki or Surulere, they handle preterm babies well there.

thanks for your response, the baby was treated at national hospital Abuja, after the test , it was still high but they told her not to worry as long as the baby had been treated with the light bulb. My worry is that hope the baby wont have any defect.

National Hospital is one of the best in Abuja. Since baby has been in light, she can do the sunning just to be on the safe side. But for the hospital to tell her not to be worried, that means the jaundice is cleared.

My dear, I don't know o, my BG also has irregular breathing attimes, but I attribute it to the weather, cold or dust. I don't give her anythg for it, It just normalises on its own.
Other sabi mamas will answer you, pele.
