Oh, yeah, we had a short discussion on this topic before. I always think of a plugged duct as being down in the breast away from the nipple. You wouldn't want to stick a needle in there! Apparently, some people think of a milk blister when they hear/read "plugged duct." Just something we on mkb need to keep our eyes open for. -Patty, mom of 1+2 |

Question, worried cause milk doesnt show up
The pictures are really beautiful. Very nice family.
Are you having any fever at all? Chills? If this happens, it could be mastitis. This needs to be treated right away by a doctor with antibiotics. I had a low supply in the beginning, too. It is more common than people realize. My very progressive trusting OB told me it takes about six weeks to get the "flow" of nursing. I agree with what everyone has said about constant nursing. No pump will get out what the baby can. Is the baby squearming at the breast? If not and you are hearing swallowing, the baby is getting the milk. Sometimes, I just close my eyes and sit very still so I can consentrate on the sound of baby swallowing. It sounds like a small sigh. You will have to listen hard to hear it in a baby that young, but you can make it out. If supply issues continue, I suggest this herbal product. It has increased my supply so much! http://www.motherlove.com/pressrelease-2004-07-01.php Best of luck, Erin Familie Knots wrote: Hi everybody. After 3.5 years I'm back to this group.

Question, worried cause milk doesnt show up
Hi Erin and everybody who kindly replied to my messages..
Well....... now it is going like this: I just pumped once yesterday (since few days ago without doing it) .. it was the ime i didnt nurse for few hours cause he was sleeping great.... i got 30cc =(...... Well, better than 10 cc that i used to get almost every single time.. What we are doing is nursing veeeeery long, trying to keep him kind of awake.. i think he drinks or well, at least there is some milk comming out cause when i take mt breast out of his mouth i can see milk in his mouth. Well the point is that we nurse hours... 1,5, 1 hour is the average BUT after that i think... mmm there is no much milk anyway so i take him off, i check my nipples and voila!! milk keeps comming out... so i keep nursing,,, etc.. After a while i give up and my husband or me gives formula (bottle)... he really doesnt looks confused with my nipples but he does with he bottle.. somethimes he cant find the way to drink from there. Anyway he still gets about 80cc .. otherwhise he cries constantly. He usually poops after his milk so when i change his pampers before he is "done"i gotta do it at least once more after....... Every single time takes me AT LEAST 2 hours feeding and makes me feel like a ghost the whole day... Oh one more thing, at hospital igot an spray it calls syntocinon (exytocinum 40 IE/ml )... i gotta use it 2 till 5 min before breastfeeding.... i have no clue if it helps ..... i still dont really get much milk =( Im driving crazy cause i dont know if it will ever get better (i read from everybody that it will but....) I really cant stop with the bottle feeding cause he looks so hungry after nursing and im affraid something goes wrong if i keep doing what i want ( people tells.... well..... if u cant breastfeed u cant... thats it). I really dont wanna quit.. it will feel again like i didnt try enough bt i dont see neither the progress on what till now im doing. =( Greetings Carolina www.sappc.com "Erin" schreef in bericht ups.com...

Is he crying immediately when coming off the breast?
Are you sure he's crying because he's hungry? Did your breasts ever become engorged? Very full? Familie Knots wrote: Hi Erin and everybody who kindly replied to my messages..

Carolina, it sounds like your baby is getting lots of milk when he nurses. Don't let his crying make you think he's hungry. He may need to burp or have a diaper change. He may just want to be held. You should estimate the amount of formula that you've been giving him each day. Then, try to reduce that amount day by day. Maybe you can give him smaller and smaller bottles each day. It sounds like you do have milk and that you can get your baby fully onto the breast, if that is what you want. As you reduce the formula, watch that he continues to have lots of wet diapers each day. Some babies are very needy in the early weeks. My daughter wanted to nurse or sleep in my arms 24 hours a day. It was tiring for me, but at about 8 weeks of age, it got much better. I think that breastfeeding can be harder than bottle feeding in the first 6 to 8 weeks but that it gets much easier than bottle-feeding after that. And, of course, it is always healthier. Have you tried using breast compression while your son is nursing? Hang in there, -Patty, mom of 1+2 |

Remind me why you started pumping? Jess I think if she is giving formula, the pumping is a good idea to increase the stimulationg that she is not getting from the baby while he is bottle feeding. It doesn't matter that she's not getting the same amount out, but each bottle is 80ml less milk her breasts are going to produce otherwise. Jo -- Woman, Wife, Mother, Midwife |
