How do you bf your darling? For me, after much experience with bf-ing I find that the snuggle-lying-down-position is most comfy especially for nite feeds. Baby is nestled comfortably on our upper arm and will bf with eyes closed and will continue sleeping when they are full and done. Younger babies will still require burping but when as they grow older no longer need to burp liao so mommies can sleep while bf-ing.

This phrase sums it up best... We can do it with eyes closed.. steady snot? :rotflmao:

Initially when i only had chubs (my #3).. hubs once asked how come i have biceps when i was carrying boxes during spring cleaning.. Uh? I didn't realize.. I said must be from all the bf-ing sessions. Good workout hor.

Now with both boys feeding at times bo-pian gotta tandem feed when they are super cranky or impatient, i hope i don't grow bigger biceps.

hi! I’m a new mum. Just back to work for a month and found my milk supply dropped. Is this always the case? Is it because of stress at work

It's not always the case.

Have you always had a lot of milk even before returning to work?
Are you able to cater for any expression session say during lunch hour?

I successfully breastfed my daughter while i was working for a couple of years. She latches on when i'm home at drink EBM when she was cared for by my mom.

Hi everybody,


I hope to get some advice from the experienced extended bfing mums here. I am a FTWM and still full bfing my DS2 who is now 17 months old. He latch on mornings and nights with a bottle of ebm as his afternoon tea. Recently he start to reject ebm totally. He will kick and wiggle off my mum's arm who is his caregiver and screamed violently. Feeding him is a nightmare, worse than feeding any other solid foods. We tried to put some fm into the ebm or try out full fm to him but he doesn't want any milk at all. When it comes to weekends, he will happily skip his lunch and latch on fully the whole day. Any advice on what i can try next? or is this just a passing phase? Thanks in advance!

When you first started breastfeeding, were his feedings alternated btwn latch-ons and bottle feeding or purely latch-on entirely?

Yes. 我是过来人。stress level goes up, breastmilk level goes down

Breastmilk after defrost from the freezer has different kind of taste. The best is latched on breastmilk. Mine refused formula until willing to try Dumex All in One when turned 4. Told me taste quite same as breastmilk.

Has it all along been your decision to place her in childcare or is this arrangement just thought upon? Ideally, she must have some familiarity taking EBM.. from the bottle, else may pose a problem during sleeping/nap time at the cc. Buds_hubs observes that his breastfed sons are super cranky when they don't get their fix. :frustrated:

buds, u mentioned u continued to bf while working ya? til ur kid is rather old?

did u pump at work or totally stop pump & only latch whenever u are hm?
my current situation is trying to drop the one pump. problem is i go hm w a full & slightly painful ahem supply and that is her dinner time; she usually only latch on abt 9pm bedtime.

btw Nihauma, my girl still refuses the bottle. i fd that it is faster to spoonfeed her (she happily takes it via spoon) than to persuade her repeatedly to use the bottle teat properly! i think cc teacher can do that right? spoon feed? intending to send her to cc in another half yr.
