My baby went from 40th percentile in weight and height at birth to 85th by 6 weeks. He will be 3 months old this week and has been staying on the 85th percentile growth curve. From birth I've only fed one breast at a time because he would drain it in under 10 minutes and fall asleep satisfied. I still dealt with excessive leaking and really full breasts after about 3 hours. I started pumping in the morning when my husband would give the baby a bottle and I'd get 4-6 oz per side in about 10 minutes. After about 8 weeks this routine of pumping to empty in the morning and one breast per feeding rest of the day helped a lot. I recently had to pump for a day because I was in my sister's wedding. I should've pumped one side per session but I didn't want to look uneven in my dress. That resulted in engorgement and a foremilk imbalance I'm trying to resolve now. Is it normal for one day to throw you off so much like that?
I have twins but still have a problem of oversupply how to fix this? I seldom switch them because I want one baby to get more foremilk but twin A have foamy poop then now I noticed greenish while Twin B poop every few days and its more clay like and brownish. I don't know how to fix this
When blockfeeding what do you do to prevent getting plugged ducts or mastitis??? I want to try this but I’m so scared of getting plugged ducts. Baby only feeds on one side but then I pump the other because I get so full and so engorged on both.
It's difficult to give guidance without having more information about your situation. Starting with a short block should help. If you would like one on one guidance you can book a consult with me. I have guided many moms through this. breastfeedingconfidential.com/breastfeeding-consults/
I have an overactive letdown/over supply. If I do Block feeding will it reduce my oz when I pump because I do need to pump because he goes to school. That's the only thing I worry about with block feeding.
I started block feeding today but u'm scared of getting blocked ducts or mastitis...they become very full and hard to touch if i left one of them blocked for 4 hours as the milk is too much and the baby only feed a little and can't soften it...should i pump alittle or should i stop block feeding
I don't know all th especifics of your situation but it sounds like a 4 hour block might be too long to start with. You should find a lactation consultant who can get your history and help guide you.
Thank you so much for the video! I am currently pregnant at my second and I really suffered with my first the first 5 months because he was choking after 20 seconds and then screamed and then didn't want more. I had tried different breastfeeding positions to reduce gravity in the milk flow but didn't really work. At 5 months I started pumping out the milk and was shocked to see that the milk was flowing from around 8-10 holes from my nipples!!! Do you think that block feeding would help me with the second one? What could I do? I really feel there is nothing I can do for my problem...could I try to pump out or express milk until the heavy flow recess and then breastfeed? (For each breastfeeding session?)
I am wondering what is causing your pain. I would encourage you to meet with a lactation consultant. I do virtual consults. Check out my website breastfeedingconfidential.com
What if my baby only likes 1 breast? My left breast is “faster” (I think) and since the first days he didnt like it so he doesnt feed a lot on that side. Now my right now he loves but only nurses for a few minutes and that’s it :( I know he chocks and I see milk dripping so I know it’s a FL issue… how do I do block feeding if my baby likes only 1 breast?? Thank you (he’s 14 mo)
@@lauradermatis1372 LOL. I'm not sure block feeding would be appropriate for you if you are only feeding from one side. Unless you have a confirmed over supply I would worry it would decrease your supply. A fast flow is a different problem and a nipple shield can help with that. I have a video on how to properly apply it.
The reason I want to block feed is because it’s just requiring way to much energy from my body. I can’t eat anymore calories it makes me nauseous but I am producing twice or more milk than what my baby needs. I also have had mastitis 3 times within two months. It’s so stressful.
I understand. You should consider working with a lactation consultant to help you with your oversupply. If you don't have anyone you can call I do virtual consults.
The most common causes are something in your diet or illness. If a baby is growing at a normal rate and is happy then I really don't worry much about green poops.
Hi. Thanks so much for this video. I'm currently pregnant with my 3rd child and I've experienced mastitis with my first 2 and milk just doesn't come out with an extremely high milk production. I had to have my milk dried up for it to stop. Can I start block feeding from birth?
@@BreastfeedingConfidential I appreciate your prompt feedback. You are awesome honestly. I've been to different people for breastfeeding advice and I haven't had advice like yours. I'll be sure to attempt breastfeeding with my third once more using your methods. I'll let you know if I'm successful. 😘
This was SO helpful. Thank God! I thought she had reflux but this is clearly the problem. It started as soon as my milk really came in. 😭

Maybe try switching which breast they get every day.

For a fast flow a nipple shield can help. Work with a lactation consultant when your baby is born to try it.
My letdown is very painful!. And also in pain when my baby is nursing on my right side even after a feeding I’m in pain. HELP!!

for new baby what is couse barf[vomiting] after bteastfeed? is that normal.
What do i do about the full breast when block feeding
What if my baby only likes 1 breast? My left breast is “faster” (I think) and since the first days he didnt like it so he doesnt feed a lot on that side.

Probably it would be good to have a lactation consult since he's 14 months.

What are the causes of green poops except foremilk hindmilk imbalance?
The most common causes are something in your diet or illness. If a baby is growing at a normal rate and is happy then I really don't worry much about green poops.
Thanks😊

I would recommend waiting until after your milk comes in.

I'd like to become the opposite. I want to be an oversupplier.. But how?
Just drink a lot of water coconut water helps
Me a lot and pump often. But trust me oversupply comes with it’s own painful challenges
Believe me, you don’t..
No you don’t 😩😩😩
