Tnx mama. Will keep trying.

Good morning mamas, I had my baby almost three weeks ago, I am having trouble breastfeeding him as I am not making enough milk so he cries a lot after latching for a while. For now I am augmenting with NAN 1 but I would like to know what I can be taking to produce more breastmilk. I have tried Pap and milk. Thanks

Congrats on your delivery, how do you know you are not producing enough breastmilk? Babies crying after latching a while is not a total pointer that you are not producing enough. that aside, stress, not taking enough fluids and food could reduce your milk production. What worked for me was pumping out the milk using breast pump, that mimicks baby sucking and let down of milk. Cheers.

palm wine works magic if you can.

[quote author=TwinklingStar post=81952804][/quote]OK I will. With the above u likely don't have it. I would suggest u use cotton wool to apply the Nystain oral suspension and clean round the mouth but applying directly not less than 4 times daily

[quote author=franashi post=81974755]
Thanks ma. The cotton wool to apply for the baby or around my nipple. Currently I used the dropper that came with it to rub it on her tongue where the patches are 4times daily.

Ywc! Dats just it!

You can try bitter leaf soup(ofe onugbu) that's if u know how to eat it! Warm water and palmwine, not much at once Sha oo mbok

Is it the same with Angel diaper? Cos its very good.

Dear mummies

If I'm not having issues with supply, and I don't have anywhere to go I.e fully on maternity leave, is there any need to give baby food other than milk?

Lo is 4 months now and in my eyes he's ready to eat food. Is exclusive really the best option if baby seems obviously ready to eat?

Please I need encouragement to continue exclusive. I've already bought rice cereal and brought out his plate, spoon and cup lol. I just want what's best for my baby.

Complete the six months ma'am since you have all it takes to do it. Someone asked this question on Ask the paediatrician group on Facebook and Dr. Gbemisola said she should complete the six month.

My fellow sweet teamie, how una dey? It's just a little while and six months will complete. Keep it up.

As for me and bobo we didn't do EBF. We started including pap since 2 months. At the end the most important thing is to have a healthy baby and mama.

Cheers

Complete the six months, then u can start with d cerelac.

Lol teamie I saw your post on the pap, no be small laugh I laugh and I told my son, see your mates are eating akamu you're still here dragging breast

For my first I did week exclusive for 4 months then started cereal. But he we going to creche so I had excuse.

I've always been an advocate of ebf and I've encouraged so many people. But now it's my turn and I really need encouragement.

My dear, keep it up. You are doing a great job. I love the part of dragging breast. I had it in mind to do at least for 3 months but his constant crying and not adding weight in my eye made me opt for option B.

This my young man is already acting as if he doesn't send my bobby anymore. He prefers the pap to any other thing even breast. Come see as I dey carry heavy duty for chest.

At times I refused him pap till he empties the breast. It is not cool to feel that if I leave him and travel for a month sef bobo won't miss me.

Thanks momma

irene670:

Thanks ma. We went to hospital, He was given metronidazole, paracetamol, zinc and ors. Thanks for answering. But i wonder if a baby can have infection without running temperarture.

You are welcome dear. Trust he's doing great now? My dear, it is God that takes care of children,we only try. Don't be surprised that some of them manifest these signs at the verge of giving up because they are fighters. They fight the infections the way adults fight too.

Good morning, thing is I also tried pumping with manual pump the milk that came out from one breast didn't reach up to half of the bottle so I realized that it was not enough, maybe I'm wrong though but I just feel it should be more.
I had an emergency Cs to save mine and my baby's lives. It has not been easy but by God's grace we are doing good. I dunno if that also contributed. One mama said something about palm wine, would love to try that and I will keep using the pump you're right about mimicking baby sucking. Thanks a lot.

Ensure you see a paediatrician or better still go to a teaching or govt hospital. Recurrent fever isn't good, the body system is fighting something.
