Hi pls help out hehe

I am only 22w and my breastmilk are already leaking. This is my second pregnancy but idk what to do because during the previous one i had taken supplements to boost my milk. If i start collecting colostrum would it be too early? How long can i keep it for? #Needadvice

Hello! You can freeze your colostrum and keep it up to 12 months, depending on your freezer type. I usually try to freeze for up to 6 months only. You can reach out for more advice/help from the counsellors in this breastfeeding Facebook group (see attached photo).

Anyone have experience shipping frozen breast milk from KL to SG?

You can consider asking in Facebook group (Breastfeeding Mothers’ Support Group (Singapore) (BMSG)). You might be able to get more help there!

Almost Can’t Sleep

Baby is almost 1 month old and nights are SO tough. He wakes up every 2 hours like clockwork and sometimes refuses to go back to sleep unless I hold him. My husband did a lot but still tired. I feel like a zombie at this point 😵. How do you moms manage night wakings? Does it ever get better?

My experience with all my newborns is that they will fell asleep right after breastfeeding. Yours is after feeding he needs to be carried and rocked to sleep is it?

Changes in stored milk taste

Hi mummies. My stored milk changes taste due to high lipase and baby refuses to drink. Any tips to overcome this or do I have to adjust my diet?

CMPA baby. How long does a milk protein stays in breastmilk? Even after pumping out the milk.

Hi mummies, So PD has confirmed tt my bby has CMPA. Today is my first day going on dairy free. Would it be better if i continue to breastfeed bby or better to pump & discard my milk for a few days before i breastfeed bby? I tried breastfeeding bby today & bby pass out loose stools due to the allergy. How long does a cow milk protein stay in breastmilk? If i pumped out, does it make a difference?

Hello, I suspected that my baby also has CMPA due to his bloody stool. May I know if your PD ran any test to your baby? Can any PD do this?

Hi mummies! Do you get manual/electric pump before giving birth and if yes, which pump do you recommend? Am considering between Pigeon/Hegen/Tommee Tippee!

Spectra Dual S is the best

Baby bf for so long

Is it normal for my 2 week old to want to latch non stop?

Yes it’s normal as they want to find comfort from their mother. Sometimes they might not be drinking milk but using our nipples as human pacifier 🥲

Reject breast milk?

Hi mommies. My baby is mixed breast milk and formula fed. Not latching. When he is at my mil place he is more formula fed and when he’s back at home he is full breast milk. Recently he is rejecting my thawed breast milk. And now he is a little rejecting my freshly pumped milk. Anyone experience the same? Any solutions?

probably he is too used to formula milk taste. usually if mixed feeing it's formula fed in the middle of the night so that baby overall is still taking breastmilk throughout the day
