@@maryamshaheen5118 How old is baby ? It can definitely look like a low supply issue at night when it’s really not. I’ll attach a couple of videos here. We do have slightly less milk in the evening but it’s slightly higher in fat. Baby will sometimes need to eat almost non stop in the evenings. The extra fat is great for growth and development and it helps baby to sleep a slightly longer stretch. Baby will often have very fussy times in the evenings. This will be difficult for a few days to a week, then better for a few days or a week. Each baby is different though. In the evening, baby can be over stimulated, overly tired or hurting from growing pains. It hurts to grow so quickly. This makes moms believe that supply is low. You can definitely give formula and baby will get really full and fall asleep. We are all sleepy after a huge meal. If you want to keep supply up, you’ll need to pump at around the same time as baby gets formula. It’s helpful to feed from both breast, then give a small amount of formula then back to the breast. If baby still seems hungry, give more formula. Low milk supply in the afternoon and evening. ruclips.net/video/p0gKR_lXZ9o/видео.html This video is just explaining the back and forth between breast and bottle. Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ruclips.net/video/S3DSN2Dwf5M/видео.html

@@zaynsmusics8334 You can know for sure that baby is getting enough, if you always see 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. It’s ok to just feed off of one breast. That one breast can totally make up for the other side. Just like a mom can breastfeed twins from 2 breasts, you can usually completely feed from one. It’s best for supply if baby is on the breast as long and as often as possible. If you can (at each feeding) offer the breast at each feeding, then give a small amount of formula then return to the breast. If baby still seems hungry, give more formula. Let baby use you like a human pacifier when you can. If you decide to give full formula feedings, you should be consistent at feeding times. So if you give formula every day at around 11am and 5pm, stay at around those times. If you’d like to keep your supply up fully, you’ll need to add lots of breast massage and expressing to keep supply up. Hand expressing is excellent to keep supply up. How much milk are you getting each time that you express?

@@nssylla Are you still nursing in the day or is night your only nursing? I’m so sorry mommy 😥 Night weaning can be very difficult. I personally would plan for a weekend to wean because it will be a few stressful nights. Wear a button up shirt or something that will be hard for baby to get to the boob. If you nurse before bed, say that there will be no more milks until morning. When baby cries for mom, give baby cuddles but no boob. Instead of saying “no” say “in the morning” or “later”. You can offer a drink of water and say “this will make it better”. If baby sleeps in a different room, you might have someone else get up in the night instead of you going into baby’s room, that “might” be easier but no matter what you go, it will be rough. 😥❤️

@@mahletanteneh2549 The CDC use to be ok with skipping washes if you were going to use it again soon (like with power pumping) and put it in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator but they now say to wash parts after every use. I generally am extra cautious but I personally would bag and refrigerated parts between to pumpings (if they were close together). If baby is a newborn, preemie or has health issues, I would not skip washings. ❤️

@@nomqhelenyathi9095 Usually it is possible but it’s a lot of work. Will baby latch at the breast?

@@sanaramouz8719 You may just need to experiment to see what works best. Pumping should hurt. Hand expressing works great with flat nipples once you get the hang of it. If your nipples get a little erect when stimulated or cold, that can help to get a measurement. ❤️

@@meenumeena8944 I don’t know if you could get up to 24 ounces with your five pumping but you should be able to get your supply up more than it is. At each pumping session, you should stop pumping after it’s been about 10 minutes since you’ve seen drops of milk come out. But you can take a break for about 10 minutes and pump again. During that 10 minute break you should be massaging your breasts. Adding the second pumping will increase a second letdown. It would be good if you can do this at every pumping if you have the time. It’s important that you pump at around the same times every day and have those pumping times spread out as much as possible. It’s generally not necessary to pump through the night. Getting in one pumping in the morning that is as early as possible, is helpful. You should be seeing the largest amount of milk pumped in the morning. By late afternoon, it’s normal to be getting much less, but do be sure to pump anyway. It’s important to add lots and lots of breast massage before and during pumping sessions. If you can take 5 to 10 minutes to massage your breast before pumping, this adds stimulation to your breast and tells your body to make more milk. Massage is a big important key when pumping. Applying heat before pumping can help to speed up and increase your letdown. It will take 3 to 5 days to start seeing an increase in supply after you’ve been very consistent with times and adding lots and lots of breast massage. The increase will probably just be a few mls in the beginning, but then will very slowly increase. After about eight weeks postpartum, our milk supply regulates down to what baby needs. This is if baby is feeding from the breast. When you are pumping, it’s up to you to tell your body how much milk you need. Be sure that your pump parts are replaced if needed. You might try a manual pump and hand expressing. Many moms can get more milk out by hand expressing and hand expressing ads more of the needed breast stimulation. Even when baby receives partial breastmilk, the benefits are great for baby. Those benefits will stay with baby for the rest of their lives. ❤️

​Thanks a lot ​@@marycahillclc. You are really a life saver for new moms. I will try with massaging and manual pumps. Also will try to breastfeed before pumping. Do i need to increase pumping session along with latching to get 24oz per day?

@@meenumeena8944 Latching is best for increasing supply if you’d like to but you can add 1 more pumping session and really focus on breast massage. In a couple of weeks, you be amazing at the difference. Massaging should be comfortably firm and the whole breast. You can even massage through (on top of) your shirt. You can use your wrists to massage if you want to be a little discreet about massaging. ❤️

@@lasyath1892 That’s wonderful mommy! ❤️❤️❤️

@@Courtz843 It is the same. I probably shouldn’t have said it that way. Thank you for asking about it. I was just thinking more about a baby that was latching well but now not. For a newborn it’s often more of a latch issue. And we don’t want baby to get worked up and then fall asleep before getting enough to eat. Do you have a lactation counselor near by that can help?

@@baelau8917 That would be a good video idea. I should also do one on fat content. Even though your milk looks thin or watery, your milk still has all of the fat that baby needs. You really can’t tell the fat content by looking at the milk. Even if your milk was lower in fat, it still has more fat than cows, milk, and its nutrients are better absorbed than formula. (the formula is a good alternative to breastmilk when a mom can’t or doesn’t wish to breast-feed). The only moms that need to be concerned about fat content in their milk are moms that have a forceful letdown/over supply. Do you believe that could be you? Is your baby growing well and staying on the same growth curve? And formula at any age, should be mixed with the proper amount of water if it’s in a powdered, concentrated form. So if you want to mix it with breastmilk, be sure to add the water to the formula first. Though breastmilk will be the most nutritious for baby, even if your milk was lower in fat.

@@MelissaHurley1994 If you’re up for it, you could ask you MIL to bring him into your bed and nurse him while you’re side lying. Then she can take him and burp and change him. If he wakes up and fusses from burning and changing, she can bring him back and nurse from the other side. Breastfeeding helps your body to heal faster but it very understandable that you are extremely tired and sore. You just grew a baby then had your body cut open 🥲 You’ll need to pump as often as baby gets formula. It’s common for baby to not like one side. Just keep trying. He might always fuss about that side. There’s many reasons why a baby might not like one side. It could be the shape of your nipple, how fast or slow the milk comes out, the taste (it can be different from side to side) or that he’s not comfortable laying on one side. Try to change the position while nursing on that side. If you’ve been nursing him in a Crossbody/cradle position, you might try a football hold. Baby doesn’t like one breast, the other side will make more milk to provide what they needs. You can always know that babies getting enough you see seven or more diapers every 24 hours from the time that baby is seven days old and older. Letting baby be on your best as long as possible. If you’re afraid that you’ll fall asleep with him, ask someone to stay in the room with you. 😴 How old is baby now?

@@tsionendale6326 are you exclusively pumping? About how much milk are you getting at each pumping and how much every 24 hours? Some mom’s milk looks thin and watery. There is no need to worry about this because breastmilk has lots of fat, even if it appears watery. Our morning milk will usually look thinner than our evening milk. This is very normal. Nothing that we eat or drink will change the fat content in our milk. Breastmilk is made by our white blood cells, not from the foods we eat. ❤️

@@marycahillclc yes, I am exclusively pumping. Get about more than 40 oz in 24 hours, 4_8 ounce per pumping.

@@tsionendale6326 That changes things a bit. babies who are exclusively fed from the breast take in an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours. 40 ounces is a huge amount. Making this much milk will actually cause your milk to be slightly lower in fat. It can also cause baby to have tummy issues. Baby may be diagnosed with reflux or even misdiagnosed as having dairy sensitivity through mom‘s milk. Many doctors do not understand the condition of forceful letdown/oversupply. It will be best to get your supply down to under 30 ounces every 24 hours. You need to do this very slowly so that you don’t get a clogged duct. I have a three part video series on your condition of forceful letdown/oversupply. The first video is just to help you to determine if you have the condition. Since you are able to pump almost twice what baby needs at 3 months post postpartum, you most definitely have the condition. If you have more babies in the future, you will have this condition with every baby. Here’s the video links Forceful Letdown and Oversupply ruclips.net/p/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe

@@marycahillclc thank you so much!

@@kockmarieemmanuelleessoh2394 I am so sorry but I don’t speak French. Is there someone who could help to translate for me? Is there a local lactation counselor that you can meet with? ❤️

@@marycahillclc Hello. At one month, baby went from 2.9 kg to 3.5 kg. She is fed only with breast milk. I would like to start giving her baby formula as well. I am going back to work in two months. How do I switch to mixed feeding? I translated thanks to Google 💃

@@kockmarieemmanuelleessoh2394 I would start by giving baby 1 formula bottle a day. Mid day (the hours that you’ll be away in a couple of months). If you feel engorged when baby receives formula, you’ll need to pump enough to be comfortable. This will help you to not get clogged ducts. As your supply decreases, you can shorten that pumping time. If baby doesn’t like the taste of formula, you can mix it with pumped breastmilk. After a few days to a week of having one bottle, you can start adding 2 bottles if you’re not feeling engorged. If you’re wanting to continue breastfeeding in the hours that your home, don’t give formula during those hours. ❤️

@@marycahillclc that is ok. Oh i am happy that it is possible. Thanks for your advices. GoD bless you.

@@fathimasabiha6606 Hi mommy! Is this your first baby? If not, how was breastfeeding with your last baby? How many wet diapers has baby had in the last 24 hours? What color is baby’s poop now? Do you see and hear baby swallowing while nursing? Are your breasts feeling larger (slightly engorged)? Mature breastmilk is usually in between day 5 to 7. First time moms can be longer (day 7 to 10). If there was a traumatic birth (like a C section), breastmilk can be a few days slower coming in. You will have Colostrum for baby. Colostrum is available after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Colostrum is “usually” all that a newborn needs until mature milk is in. You are correct that giving formula will reduce supply but occasionally it’s necessary. To keep supply up, you need to be expressing milk at around the same time that baby gets something in a bottle. You can pump or hand express but it’s important to express if bottle feeding. Say to yourself “if anything goes into baby, something should come out of me” When you do give a bottle, it is best for supply to feed like this: Offer one breast for baby to nurse on as long as possible. When baby seems done or is falling asleep, burp baby to wake her up a little, then latch her on the second side. Sometimes baby won’t want the second side, sometimes she’ll nurse for just a few seconds or sometimes she may keep nursing For a few minutes. Either way is fine. If baby doesn’t seem satisfied after nursing on both sides, you can offer a small amount of formula then latch baby on both breasts again. If baby still seems hungry you can get more formula. Having baby on the breast as often and as long as possible is best for supply.

@@SusanaMorales-h2o Wow! Have you been pumping every 2 hours around the clock for 2 months? You poor thing. That’s a lot of work. Tell me why you’ve been pumping every two hours. Is it just because you’re feeling engorged every two hours? Did you start doing this because your supplies seemed low? Do you have to do any extra pumping in the daytime? Whenever you do pump, how much milk are you seeing at each pumping session and about how much are you getting in pumping every 24 hours ? Do you believe that you have a forceful letdown/over supply?

@@ravibiso3672 there’s no right or wrong answer to these questions, I just need to know what’s happening right now to help you. The more details about your journey, the better.❤️ Tell me how and when you are supplementing. Are you feeding from the breast every feeding but a supplement bottle at the end? Or are you supplementing completely at just some feedings? How are you pumping? Do you pump several times a day? Are you pumping at the same times every day? Are you pumping anytime baby gets a supplement bottle? I watch for your answers but here’s a video to check out for right now. Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ruclips.net/video/S3DSN2Dwf5M/видео.html

@@deahnabarcelona9915 hi mommy! Do you have a forceful letdown/over supply? How old is baby? Your breasts will start to feel much softer and less full but still make lots of milk. When your breast feels full, that’s inflammation of the breast milk isn’t stored in your breast. It’s made while you nurse or pump. If you don’t have a forceful letdown/over supply, it’s best to offer both breasts each feeding in the first few months. To do this, you would nurse on the 1st breast for as long as possible. When baby seems to be done nursing, offer the 2nd side. Baby may not want it, or just nurse a few seconds or nurse for several minutes. We want to nurse this way because (you’re right🥰) we want baby to get the fattier hind milk but when we offer the other side in that feeding, it helps to keep supply up if you’re a mom with an average milk supply. ❤️

@@asifullah4567 Is baby having 6 or more wet diapers every day? If baby is having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours and is gaining weight well, then you know that baby is getting enough. Breastfed babies eat more often than formula fed babies. A newborn should be nursing 8 to 12 times a day. If baby is a slow eater, they might nurse every hour. The afternoon and evening times, baby may want to nurse almost non stop. Baby will start to nurse less often but will have times that they nurse almost nonstop again for a few days. If you’re concerned that baby isn’t getting enough, you should try to see a lactation counselor or your doctor as soon as possible. Formula is sometimes necessary if baby isn’t having lots of wet diapers or isn’t gaining weight. If baby needs formula or you would just like to give it, keep in mind that your supply will drop unless you pump at around the same time that baby receives formula. I’m not sure what brand would be best. Check with your doctor for some recommendations. ❤️

@@marycahillclc yes Mam, diaper is more than 10, but he is crying always, we feed him for 30-40 minutes he will stop. Sometimes he will cry again after 10min sometimes 20,30 minutes and will sleep for 2 hours again will start repeating. However after every breastfeed he will pass small amount of stool we r changing diapers now a days every hour or 2 hourly and the meantimes he developed rashes and sever redness between buttocks i donot know the causes. Maybe he is not tolerating mother feed ?

@@asifullah4567 Does baby seem satisfied in the morning? Babies will sometimes be fussy in the afternoon and evening because they are over tired, over stimulated or not feeling well. It can be uncomfortable to grow so quickly. If you have concerns about baby, please talk to your doctor. Rubbing a little bit on breastmilk on a diaper rash can help. Let baby’s bottom air out for a few minutes to help with healing. Even if baby doesn’t have a rash, it helps to keep rashes away by always letting baby’s bottom dry for a few seconds before putting a diaper on. A rash can also be caused by thrush. If that were the issue, you would probably feel a little pain in your nipples. The rash when it’s Thrush, will usually be around their legs where the diaper is touching. Do you know if you have a forceful letdown and over supply? Is baby having green or foamy poops? Is baby choking a lot while nursing?

@@marycahillclc as for newborn we r visiting every week a doctor for follow up as per doctor its normal and for the rash he advised some cream along with instructions of to avoid wipe use direct water for pop cleaning, the pop is yellowish light color, in the morning he is usually in mood but as u mentioned Noon and in the evening he is crying always. For now most probably he is crying bcz of the rashes, during feeding not al times but some of times he will start cough. Foget to mention he has nasal congestion for which we r using saline drops evey 2 hourly or as per need. For colic we r burping properly and he has to many gases!!

The cream should help with the rash. I like Butt Paste or Desitin. Water wipes can help to keep the chemicals in wipes to affect baby’s skin. Holding baby is a more upright position can be helpful when baby has a stuffy nose.

@@pla9046 I’m sorry mommy 🥲. Is there a lactation counselor near by that you can meet with? I think you’ll need in person help. A lactation counselor could help with latch and supply. Make an appointment as soon as possible and if you aren’t getting good help, find a different one. Until then, follow the steps in this video to work on supply. You have to be consistent on pumping. You need to add lots and lots of breast massage before and during pumping. It will take at least 3 to 5 days of constant pumping with massage, to start to see a small increase. Then it will slowly keep increasing. If this is feeling overwhelming, please know that even a few ounces of breastmilk is very beneficial. Even if you stopped giving breastmilk, the benefits of the breastmilk that you’ve already given, will stay with baby for the rest of their life.❤️

The benefits of the milk you’ve provided so far will stay with baby’s body for the rest of their life! This won’t be easy but it is possible. Finding a local lactation counselor would probably be helpful. How often are you pumping? How many mls/ounces are you getting at a pumping and about how much every 24 hours? I have a couple of videos for you. This first one is Nursing Strike. To get baby to the breast, you need to try latching baby at every feeding BUT stop as soon as baby starts to fuss.

It’s not an overnight fix but with consistency, you’ll start to see an increase. What makes more milk is moving milk often and stimulation. You’ll need to do lots and lots of breast massage before and during pumping. You’ll need to be pumping as often as baby eats. Here’s that video Pumping Moms With Low Milk Supply ruclips.net/video/_of4OTnOubc/видео.html

​@@marycahillclc Thanks a lot for being so supportive. I really appreciate that 🥰. Right now im pumping about every 2-3 hours and only in the morning i make around 80-120 ml. Then during the day it is always around 20 to 40 ml max. I used to make double the amount and sometimes even more but right now this is the best i could make. After seeing your videos i realize that not giving the neccesary stimulation is my main problem for my decreased supply. Also me stressing out and crying everyday about it is another big problem. Thanks again for adressing the two other videos to me. I will continue trying to inform and understand things better and won't give up. ❤

@@edisavejko5133 You’re right! The stimulation is so important. Try to take some slow deep breaths when you begin to pump. You can apply heat along with the massage before pumping. This will help with a faster letdown. Looking at pictures of baby or talking and playing with baby while you pump, will help a lot. Your supply is a low but you can get it up. On average, babies take in about 24 ounces every 24 hours when they are exclusively breastfed and feeding from the breast. Sometimes babies will take in more than they need from a bottle. We definitely want the baby to have all that they want and need, but it helps to have a slower, flow nipple and take a couple of short breaks during the bottle feeding. (this is called paced feeding). Keep in mind that our milk supply goes down as the day goes on. This is completely normal. When we have less milk in the afternoon, it is higher in fat.

@@esraaburhan9479 🤔 Tell me more. Did your nipples become flat but weren’t before? Did the stay flat? Many moms have flat nipples when they’re warm, relaxed or maybe medicated but they become erect when stimulated. Most moms with flat or even inverted nipples can still breastfeed. In the first few weeks it can be more challenging. A local lactation counselor can usually help to get a better position. ❤️

@@joyanntan1289 Let me start by asking, how old is baby? Is this your first baby? If not, how was BF with other babies? I can’t say for sure that baby might wake and have trouble with secretions but it would make sense to me. If most people consumed a large amount of high lactose before bed, they might wake up phlegmy. When you start to block feed, you will probably need to do a little pumping on the side not nursed on. It’s important to go down very slowly so that you don’t get a clogged duct. There will be things that can put you back to the beginning and you’ll have to wean back down again SLOWLY. If you get a clogged duct, you’ll need to keep moving milk so it doesn’t turn to mastitis. It’s a bummer to have to start again but it’s necessary 🥲 You must pump if you’re uncomfortable. If you are engorged, pump for just a minute or two, then wait 5 to 10 minutes and see how you feel. That breast will probably soften up in the 5 to 10 minutes after pumping. If not, pump a little more. I know that engorgement seems like the breast hasn’t been “emptied” but it’s not really milk in the breast, it’s actually inflammation/swelling of the tissue around the milk ducts. Your body is wanting to make milk at that moment but if you start letting it know that you don’t need it, production will start to go down. Theres no way to know how long it will take to get supply under control. Every mom is very different. Some moms get it under control in days or weeks and some moms may never get it totally controlled. The further out you are postpartum helps. Supply regulates over time for most moms. Yes, less engorgement shows that it’s getting under control. Some moms try to pump a little bit before nursing to remove some fore milk but this is a BAD idea. Removing extra milk will just increase supply and make it worse but if you have some previous pumped milk (or milk that you needed to pump when you’re engorged), you can give a little bit of that at the beginning of a feeding. This works because it reduces supply a little faster. It reduces supply because of less milk removal and because there’s less breast stimulation. Some moms will add in formula or donor milk to reduce baby’s time at the breast to help control supply. I hope that helps. Let me know if I didn’t answer all of your questions or if you have more questions. Moms wish they had an over supply but they don’t understand that it can be harder than low supply. 🥲🥰

@@marycahillclcReally appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Baby is 2 weeks and 3 days old; first baby. I have started block feeding just two days ago. Regarding your advice on pumping out engorged breast, when is the best time to pump-is it as soon as i feel it being full or do i have to wait for its turn to be nursed on and pump just before or after the nursing session? How much is enough pumping-is it til engorgement is gone or just until it becomes less uncomfortable (but still engorged)? For me, engorgement seems to be only completely gone once baby nursed on the breast for a good 12-18 minutes. Does clogged milk duct feel painful or not necessarily? My right breast seems to react to block feeding quite well-feeling less engorged than before even when not nursed on. Usually survives the 6 hour period of not being nursed on without being extremely hard and painful. However, the left breast still gets engorged pretty quickly-within 2-3 hours from being nursed on. Also, i was unable to bear the engorgement yesterday so i pumped out for 5 mins and felt just a bit of a relief but it is still engorged. I seem to notice some slightly hard lumps on that breast too, but they aren’t really painful. Could those be clogged ducts?

@@joyanntan1289 Is this your first baby? 2 weeks is really soon to know if you truly have a FL/OS unless you’ve had this condition before. I wouldn’t be block feeding now unless you had this issue before. Most moms have a forceful letdown/over supply in the first month but not the actual condition FL/OS. It is important to pump as soon as you feel uncomfortable. In the beginning, moms with a FL/OS, need to pump longer. It’s important to slowly wean down. Clogged ducts are usually uncomfortable to painful.

@@marycahillclc Hi Mary. Yes, first baby.

@@joyanntan1289 Then we don’t know for sure if you have the condition of forceful letdown/over supply. It sounds like you could though. How is engorgement going now? When you do pump the side not nursed on, about how many minutes are you needing to pump and how much milk are you getting out.

@@ug8179 So sorry mommy 🥲 I linked you to my video on nursing strike but you might need something different. Give me lots of details about what’s happening. Did baby latch well in the first couple of days? Is this your first baby? Have you felt any engorgement in the past few days?

@@nguyetanh1245 The best way to increase supply is by having baby at the breast as often and as long as possible. Put baby to the breast before and after any bottle feeding. It’s very normal to have way less milk in the evening. Our evening milk is higher in fat. Baby’s usually nurse much more often in the evening. They can be fussier in the evening too. You’re doing great mommy! ❤️

@@BelleAmorePizza Sometimes supplementing is necessary. Don’t be hard on yourself about it. You’re doing great! ❤️ If you haven’t already, I would see a local lactation counselor to do a weighted feed. You can do this at home if you have a scale. An average feeding from the breast is around 2 ounces. It might be higher in the morning (3 or even more ounces). In the evening it will be lower (could be around 1 ounce a feeding. Afternoon and evening milk gets less in volume but it’s higher in fat). Feeding from the breast for an exclusively breastfed baby is an average 24 ounces every 24 hours. This is for babies who are 1 months to 6 months old. Formula fed babies need more in ounces though because it’s not absorbed as well. The foods that you eat and even supplements, don’t increase your supply. Fenugreek can even reduce supply for some moms. If baby is having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours, you know they are getting enough. Though if baby is not gaining well, something is obviously wrong. Supplemental feedings are sometimes necessary. Especially for newborns. When baby is having lots of wet diapers but slow weight gain, it is usually a sign that mom has a forceful letdown/ oversupply. I know that may sound crazy because baby isn’t gaining weight but low or high weight gain is one sign. Low weight gain is the most common result of oversupply. Most moms with an oversupply can pump a large amount but there are moms who don’t respond to a pump. Is she choking or at least gulping very quickly during a letdown? Is she having tummy issues? Reflux? Green or goopy poops?

@@farhanamuhammed3994 Breastfeeding with a forceful letdown can be very painful because baby will try to bite down and slip out to the nipple to try to control the flow. Once supply gets more under control and baby can get in a deeper latched position, it usually feels better. As far as time to feed, every baby is different. If baby seems satisfied after 5 minute feedings and is always having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours, then you know baby is getting enough. If you’re still having pain, you might see a local lactation counselor to help with latch. Have you watched my 3 part videos on Forceful letdown/over supply?

@@marycahillclc I was told in the beginning that I should wake up my baby by tickling etc while breastfeeding when she falls asleep…. Should I continue doing that if my baby is falling asleep after 5 min?

@@farhanamuhammed3994 That is just for newborns. You want to do that until baby regains their birth weight. Trust you baby to tell you when they’re hungry. Watch for those 6 wet diapers to let you know for sure that baby is getting enough. ❤️

@@marycahillclc thank you so much

@@marycahillclc my baby never unlatches by herself… I always have to unlatch her and because of this Im not sure if she is full.. she always tend to be asleep after 5 min of breastfeeding and I unlatch her 20 min later and after that she cries does that mean she’s using me as a pacifier

@@farhanamuhammed3994 She is most likely biting to try to control your letdown. Have you watched this video? It will give you more insight as to control the force will let down/over supply. How to Handle my Forceful Let Down ruclips.net/video/dzK8HxopoX0/видео.html

@@marycahillclc I have been taking a diet that includes food that increases milk because I thought I’m low on milk supply am I supposed to stop doing things to increase milk production? And my baby is always asleep after 5 min of feeding max 10 min… after that she just sucks for comfort like shes using me as a pacifier to sleep.. will she get the hindmilk needed for her in just 5 min if Im having an oversupply?

@@farhanamuhammed3994 Foods or supplements that you take, really won’t increase supply for most moms but it might (a small bit) increase supply for over producing moms. Watch that second video. There is so much to explain and understand about your condition. It’s very different than moms with a “normal” supply. If you get your supply under control, baby can be getting hind milk in a short feeding. Some babies only nurse for 5 minutes. It’s very normal for most breastfed babies to eat often. Sometimes every hour or two

@@marycahillclc thank you so much for replying

@@farhanamuhammed3994 ❤️

@@AshleyGraham-m9f every situation is different. If you’re going from zero milk, you may see just a few drops. If you’ve been having 1 ounce per pumping, you might see an additional 1/4 ounce. Do you want to give me more details about your situation?

@@christieangelpoole4951 if it’s not painful, then yes, it would be ok. Tell me more about what’s happening. How old is baby? Do you know why you are so cracked and sore? It helps if you give me lots of details.👍❤️

@marycahillclc baby Girl is 1 week 5 days old, she was latching really well on Right side but not left and causing nipple to "slope" look like a ramp, causing the tip of the nipple to get a sore, she then started to refuse both nipples by 4 days old, went to hospital that night she'd lost 10.2% of her birth weight so we were put on a feeding plan which is working however the pump they gave me I didn't know the flange was too small till it was too late and it started to split my nipple on the side I have a new pump as of yesterday and have noticed a significant difference and can already see/feel the benefits of changing I am slowly introducing her back to breast and she is taking it well (on the right side which is the "healthy" nipple) I was tossing between an electric pump or Haaka and went electric (hospital grade with correct flange this time) I've breast fed all my babies (I have now got 5, 4 boys 1 girl, all but one boy was tongue tied, little girl just has small mouth no tie) all have been vastly different, myself and our local hospitals lactation consultant noticed her mouth on the inside is smaller than my Left nipple and was/is the cause of the way she was latching on it.

@@CrazyCatMom1331 How old is baby now? When you express milk, how much do you get? How many mls/ounces are you expressing every 24 hours? How many times a day does baby latch?

@@imnowan1363 you can ask all the questions you want! ❤️ Baby’s tummy is sometimes bigger after formula because baby takes in more than breastfeeding. Bottles let the milk or formula flow fast so baby’s often don’t realize they are full and over eat. It won’t harm baby to overeat but some get a tummy ache later. Our bellies get big when we overeat too. (It can be uncomfortable for us, and it makes us sleepy too) When we breastfeed, we know baby has had enough when they come off the breast. You should offer the other breast (older babies don’t always take both breasts at one feeding). We also can know for sure that baby is getting enough, if we always see those 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. ❤️

@@jennifergonzalez4594 yes, pump as often as baby eats. Remember this phrase “if something goes into baby, something should come out of you” It’s important to add lots of breast massage before and during pumping. ❤️

@@jaclynhaynes4131 I’m so sorry that you’re struggling mommy🥲 Are you exclusively breastfeeding now with no formula? How many wet diapers is baby having every 24 hours? What signs are you seeing that are telling you that your supply is low? I have several videos that i would link here for you. The first one is on nursing strikes. I know that she’s not having a nursing strike, but you would wean off of the nipple shield in the same way. You would try to have her latch without it but as soon as she starts to fuss, put the nipple shield right back on. Offer the breast without the nipple shield several times during the feeding. She will be most apt to latch while she’s sleepy. You need to be consistent and try to nurse without the shield at every feeding, but it’s very important to not let her or you get upset. How Do I Get My Baby Through a Nursing Strike? ruclips.net/video/qU-U0IDMHqY/видео.html Getting a good latch, does help with your milk supply, baby getting enough milk and for breast-feeding to be comfortable. Deep Breastfeeding Latch #shorts #breastfeeding ruclips.net/user/shortstPTuXyIPb1s?feature=share Shield can be helpful at times. especially if you have become extremely sore from babies latch. It’s recommended that Mom’s wean off of a nipple shield as soon as possible. The longer you use the shield, can make it harder to get off the shield, but it’s still possible. A shield can reduce supply, increase clogged ducts or thrush but some moms use them long term. Nipple Shields #shorts ruclips.net/user/shortsTGzaHN9gaRQ?feature=share

@@marycahillclc ​ Thank you for responding! The reason I feel like my supply has dropped is over the last few days I when from feeling my breasts are so full she can't empty them fast enough to now they are only somewhat full and haven't been feeling really full. I only have been doing formula late at night if nursing won't get her down. A 30 ml bottle does the trick and only every other night tops. She has had plenty of wet and poop diapers. Haven't been keeping track.

@@imnowan1363 I’m so glad that it was helpful! ❤️ How old is baby? If baby is older than about 6-8 weeks and you randomly pump, 2 oz total is a large amount.

@@marycahillclc Oh My God thank you so much for replying. My baby is 9 weeks old. Watching all the oversupply video on IG and tik tok are really discouraging me when I only get 2oz when pumping. Thank you for the video recommendation. Now I want to watch all of your videos, you really are the best lactation consultant ever. Love you❤️
