Ah then I have a huge moron friend. This friend of mine has a degree in nutrition, always telling me that formula milk is much better than breast milk with all the AA, DHA etc etc.duriz:

It's utter rubbish.
Children will have and go through many bouts of colds and coughs.
Blah!
It's part and parcel of growing up and building their immunity.
Breast is best.
Anyone who tries to argue otherwise is a moron.
I don't even bother to argue with her coz she will always shoot me back with...'I have a degree in nutrition, u know?' :stupid:[/quote]huh where's her degree from? obviously she has no clue that breastmilk has antibodies that formula milk can never hope to replicate. -

Sigh...I guess it is just a lack of understanding then!

Breastmilk is the gold standard in infant nutrition (juz check out what WHO has to say abt it.)
All formulas try their best to emulate breastmilk...AHA,DHA are recent additives in formula that have been present in breastmilk since who-knows-when. Up til today, the exact composition of breastmilk is still unknown - when they do discover the presence of yet another nutrient, you can be sure that manufacturers of formula will market it as another revolutionary breakthrough!
My thought on this...why spend on an inferior product when you can get the best for free? :roll: -

Yes it's free and it's the best thing on earth that I could ever give to my child.

Hi there!
Am a newbie to Kiasu Parents but I saw this club and just felt like it called to me.
My son's turning 1 soon and am happy to say that I'm still BF-ing although am a FTWM.
However, have had to mix after the first 7 months as my supply plunged sharply due to hectic work schedule and having to express mainly rather than direct feeding. So sad...
But I figured even a little breastmilk is better than no breastmilk, right?
So I've kept on going but starting to feel like no point cos am only able to express so little (20-40ml each time, once a day). But the thing that's got me so torn up is that my son still loves to latch on and seems to be satiated when he's able to feed directly from me. So dunno if I should stop or just try to wean him off. Thoughts? :?: -

Hi BBMomma78, I was in your shoes 2 times before. Since your son is turning 1 soon, he should be on good amount of solids already. You could stop expressing milk while you are at work but continue to nurse directly in the evenings and on weekends. While you are away at work, your son will feed on solids, which means you may need to wean him off milk in the day while you are at work. You can train your breasts to only produce milk in the evenings and on weekends. There is no need to get so stressed up over milk expression if you do not express much at work. Nursing is supposed to be an enjoyable experience.Hi there!

It is common for children below 7 yo to fall sick easily due to their contact with the physical environment and other children in school. However, I do notice that breastfed children recover faster from their illnesses. Sometimes, the symptons were so mild that we do not even know our kids are ill. And when they were ill, they recovered very fast as compared to non-breastfed children.ctcc:

Anyone who tries to argue otherwise is a moron.
So if there is anyone who challenges you, just tell them off that the situation could have been worse if your kids are not breastfed!

Hi BBMomma78,
I agree with aing about the need to express. You bb is far more efficient than any pump so he can probably extract milk where the pump can't. I had engorgement that the pump can't help but my bb can. If you son's already on solids, don't worry too much about expressing. I stopped pumping when my bb turned one. Still direct feeding now, aged 1.5 years :).
