Very long but worthy read. Mothers who plan to do ebf should express their milk constantly to be sure the breast is making enough milk.

That a baby is always sucking doesn't mean he is getting milk! and we shouldn't allow people's opinion get to us just because we chose to offer formula.

A living and healthy baby is all that matters.

Very very good read. May God help us do right by our kids and may we encounter good and capable doctors, nurses and caregivers. My baby also had jaundice and I didn't know because nobody told me despite the fact that thedoctors and attendants at his birth knew he was jaundiced and had a slightly higher bilirubin level. The did nothing!. The only thing I noticed was that he was so lethargic (won't open his eyes, especially when the lights in the room were on). He also won't eat. He would try and latch, suck three or four times then get off again. They also refused me giving him formular! As at day two, he had eaten nothing!! It was until the pediatrician who also happened to be Nigerian came the next morning that she told me EBF is not a medal. I should try and give him formula. He won't also take the formular but I tried. Pumping breastmilk probably saved my son and allowed his bili levels drop so fast. He would not take more than 10ml then cos he was so weak from the sheer amount of bilirubin in him and they had to pass a tube through his nose and down his belly to make sure he's getting fed. I was not happy with it, but I knew it was needed cos I know his bilirubin level has to go down as fast as possible so as not to risk brain injury. If I was hell bent on putting him to my breast and trying to get in to suck, I would have entered one chance!


Here in the US, if you have certain insurances, you get any kind of breastpump for free but you need a Doctor's certification that you're indeed pregnant to get it. When I asked my OB for the referral when I was still pregnant, he absolutely refused to give me, talmbout how he won't give me one until I have the baby and latch has been established!. TF?? I had to go behind his back and talk to my insurance company who referred me to the breastpump providers and they contacted and got my referral directly from the doctor's office. This was a doctor who decided to still be seeing me every two weeks as at 37 weeks, when he was supposed to be seeing me every week. When I asked him, he said it's because my pregnancy was stress free and he doesn't see the need to see me every week. My hubby (he always went with me for my prenatal appointment screamed blue murder and threatened brimstone and fire at the doctor. he was so pissed! God forbid I develop pre-eclampsia or whatever in between those two weeks, how will they catch it? And this was a doctor, at a highbrow medical facilities that I decided to chose just because I thought they will offer superior service despite the higher out of pocket costs.

Sorry for my rant, that story was similar to what happned to me and had I listened to everything my OB said and not applied common sense, my case would have been sorry now. Please mamas, listen to your healthcare providers but also do your own research before seeing the doctor and ask questions. Question anything and everything (even if it means the healthcare providers will tire for your matter and give your side eyes). If any advise or recommendation they give you does not sound right or sit well with you, challenge it, ask why and research well. They do whatever you feel good about. Provided it's not detrimental. Now I pretty much pump all the time, and feed him bottles of breastmilk. At least I'm sure he's eating and how much he's getting to avoid stories that touch. If my supply goes down, I know immediately and find ways to rectify it. Once beaten, twice shy. I don't want stories that touch

Sorry madam, it's all normal to feel that way about your baby's gender.. But it's not in our capacity to select what God gives us. Please don't feel disappointed, girl child are bigger blessings to parent and don't let your husband see the self pity or guilt after all it is what he donated to you that you are processing. When I found out I was carrying another girl, I held my head high told my husband I was so glad it's another princess ( though I was disappointed for that day) and told it's just unfortunate that he didn't give me a boy as it would have been nice to have both sexes grin . I don't plan to have any more babies, so I have accepted my faith that I am Iya Abigail. That gives me closure

Gosh!
Thank God for wisdom. My daughter couldn't latch on to my nipple at birth. We tried and tried but the hospital staff especially the lactation specialist insisted that she should be breast fed. Fortunately, her peadiatrician is Nigerian and told us in yoruba to express and give her a bottle. See as the babe guzzle the milk ehn i almost wept. So i would have just starved my baby for nothing. Now she takes expressed milk and formular. I can't shout o

Hello beautiful mamas on this forum,pls come & touch light my matter.I'm 13weeks 2days today according to scan. I went for my first scan yest and the result says *A viable and active foetus+myoma of abt 44mm*43mm in diameter*. The sonographer doesn't mention anything to me abt the myoma so I googled it and was made to understand that it is fibroid. This is my second time of getting pregnant, I didn't have fibroid during my first pregnancy so am so confused.Though when I checked the cause of it,dat pple above 30years and fat pple usually have it,I know I fall into the category. Now my question, has anyone experience fibroid during pregnancy, how did you do it? Am yet to register for antenatal, i plan to do so next month as I want to travel for Xmas anytime from now. Hope next month is not to late to talk to doctor concerning it. Pls help me o.

Am I the only one without appetite? It's a real struggle to eat. I can stay all morning without eating. I really have to force myself to eat.

My family think I am trying to lose weight. I have lost weight but that is not the focus. The smell of food turns me off. I need help.

The hospital I used was so anti-formula. I thought it was only Nigerian general hospitals that did so. When I insisted on giving him formula because I was too tired to breastfeed him, they gave me a long lecture on how formula can cause obesity, etc that even 1 bottle is enough. That one na their own beeswax sha. They gave me the breastpump free to encourage me to breastfeed more.

Does anyone know what type of formula is good for a baby with food allergies? Prince is 2 weeks plus and has plenty gas as well as loose stool.

I took it immediately after d show only to come back 2weeks after n find myself pregnant. don't worry even if u end up being pregnant it won't affect ur baby. unless again, individual difference can play out and d medicine myt actually work for u and you won't get pregnant. although this was not my first time of taking it when I have a slip up but I guess d child is determined to stay so here I am. cheer up, it can only get better. house how we dey?

thanks Mama for your kind words. I cannot agree with u more, especially as I'm my mum's only daughter with four brothers and I make bold to say I care more for her than my siblings. she's always saying God is merciful cos assuming she has only my siblings without me, she'd have died along time ago. they are always too busy to ask after her but I on d other hand won't have a fulfilled day until I've called her. she was even joking when I told her the baby is a girl again, she said God is multiplying my blessings so when I grow old like her they all can give me multiple doses of the care and kindness I'm giving her. thanks for trying to lift my spirit, I believe God is doing what's best for me. thanks again and have a fab weekend.

You dey mind them? Please feed the child whatever works good for you are, they like making a mountain out of a molehill. Though I've never used fomular before, I heard Enfamil Gentlease, Enfamil ProSoBee, Similac Pro-Sensitive and Similac Sensitive can be used for gassy babies. You might wanna try it.

As for being unable to eat, You're not the only one. I couldn't eat for weeks after I had the baby and they also thought I was trying to lose weight but I just didn't have the appetite. I was producing approximately 45 ounces of milk per day, yet I had no appetite. It will gradually increase (appetite) but you might not be ravenous and be eating everything and anything like people say you do when you're lactating. I still eat very minimal food and i'm never really hungry. I did lose weight really fast though
