I’m so sorry, mommy😢 I know that this can be such a stressful time. You are very normal to be dealing with postpartum depression. There are so many emotions attached this time in our lives. Be sure to reach out to friends and family for support and talk to your doctor about it too. If this all seems too overwhelming, you can partially breastfeed or go to exclusively formula feeding. Baby loves you no matter what you do to feed them. Latching can be very hard in the first few weeks. Many moms feel like it will never get better, but really it does. ❤️
Hello Mary, 3 weeks baby here. For the last 2 weeks baby’s been losing weight instead of gaining. We stopped formula completely. Baby breastfeeds and wets 6 to 7 diapers daily. We are worried if we should go back to formula to have him gaining weight again.
@@joguarhs Sometimes formula is needed but if baby is having 6 or more wet diapers every day, that shows that baby is getting enough but we do need to be sure that baby is gaining well. Has baby been weighed on e same scale most of these weight checks? If a scale is calibrated, it can really mess up weight tracking. It’s important at this early age to watch weight gain. Do you have access to a baby scale? Your doctor might let you come in every few days to check weight. Is baby staying awake for most feedings? Are you keeping baby on the 1st breast for as long as possible, then offering the 2nd breast at each feeding? It’s ok if baby doesn’t always want the 2nd side but it’s best to offer in the first months. Is there a LC that you can meet with locally? Do you pump milk at times? If so, why? (Because you’re engorged or just wanting to stir milk?) how much milk are you seeing if you pump?
Hello Mary, thank you for the video. My breast is saggy and my nipples are flat. My baby is now 7!weeks old and I nurse her with cross cradle hold. But sometimes she won’t open her mouth wide enough and I can hear click-click sound and her airy swallow. So her tummy gets gassy and she cries for hours in the evening. How do I get her better at latching? Or do I have to wait until she gets big? She was born 3,7kg and now about 4,6kg. And I wonder if she is underfed. Poop is mustard yellow atm. Please help us 😢
@@MySensoria is baby exclusively breast-fed or do you supplement with formula or previously pumped milk? When you say that your breasts are saggy, do you mean that they don’t feel like they’re full of milk anymore? If so, that is totally normal and actually the way it’s supposed to be. After a few weeks of breast-feeding your breasts should feel flat and empty like before you were even pregnant, but your body is still making plenty of breastmilk. You know the baby is getting enough milk if you always see six or more wet diapers every 24 hours. If baby is happy in the morning and early afternoon, but fussy at night, that is very normal. Babies will go through this fussy time in the evening and they will want to cluster feed. This is where baby wants to feed every hour or almost nonstop in the evening. During this fussy time, they often will pop off the breast and be upset many times. Baby is going through growth spurt when this happens. This doesn’t mean that baby needs or wants more milk or that you don’t have enough. It just means that baby is uncomfortable because they are growing so quickly. There’s nothing that you can do except for hold and comfort baby and let baby be at the breast as much as possible. These fussy times can last a few days to a week and then it usually gets a little better. It can start up again at anytime though. As far as weight gain, you know, baby is getting enough if they are having those wet diapers and growing well. Your baby’s weight looks great. Baby is in a slightly lower percentile than she was at birth, but this is normal. Her weight is still great! Babies retain a lot of fluid and are often higher in weight when they were born. In the first few days after birth, baby generally loses anywhere from 4 to 10% of their bodyweight when they are a breast-fed baby. If baby gets close to this 10% it is recommended to meet with a lactation counselor to be sure that baby won’t lose any more weight. After baby is one month old then we can start to compare babies weight in the future. If you are concerned aboutBaby’s weight, see your doctor right away.❤️
It’s usually just a problem with baby’s position. You might try laying back to nurse baby or sitting in an upright position. It can be because baby has a tongue or lip tie or if mom has a forceful letdown/over supply. How old is baby? How is baby acting when nurse seen without the nipple shield? Is it painful for you? Is baby not attached well? A nipple shield should only be used for a few days and then weaned off. It can be hard to get baby to latch without one once you’ve started. It can also cause clogged ducts, low milk, supply, or thrush.
Hi Mommy! How old is baby? It’s ok to not have all of your areola in baby’s mouth if your areola is really large. There should be more of the areola in baby’s mouth on the side where baby’s nose is. To help baby get more breast in, you can “sandwich” your breast. Some moms with large breasts been to always hold their breast in a sandwich while baby nurses. Are you having any pain while baby is latched. Are you able to mostly feed from the breast?
Since 2 months ,she is in EBF but her weight has not gained much. Birth weight: 2.8 Kilograms and now at 4.5 age 5.1 KGs Would you suggest what can be done from my side like which food can I include in my diet so that baby can get benefited ? I tried giving formula milk she rejected that.. I haven't introduced solids yet.
@@asaktimishra if you are still getting very engorged at this point, I’m wondering if you might have a forceful letdown/oversupply. Have you heard of this before? The foods that you eat, won’t affect the nutrients in your milk or baby’s weight gain. If you do have a forceful letdown/oversupply that isn’t under control, that can cause baby to be a slow gainer. Does baby have lots of gas? Green or foamy poop?
Hallo, i have problem with latching while breastfeeding. Thats why i pump exclusively and moreover also gives formula to my baby. I want to switch to exclusive breastfeeding and also not want to do pumping anymore but want my baby on breast exclusively Problem is when i put my baby down for breastfeeding she starts crying Can you help me with this?
Give me lots of details mommy❤️ How old is baby? Did baby latch in the beginning? How much milk are you able to pump at a session and how much every 24 hours?
@@marycahillclc my baby is now 4 and half month old. .yeah in beginning until 2 months she used to latch. But most of the time she was little uncomfortable and fussy during latch and mostly she finished session very fast due to my low milk supply. So i have to give her extra milk (baby formula) . Then after i decided to pump and feed her by bottle. Second reason is for pumping is to boost my milk supply. But drawback of this decision is now she refuses breast and only prefer bottle I pump 5-6 times in 24 hours. And most of time it is between 50 to 80 ml. Only In pumping session in early morning it is arround 100-120ml ( in night i skip to pump..I pump before sleep and then directly in early morning).

My baby has had a bit of a shallow latch, I’ve only been able to feed her decently with a nipple shield? Any advice?
It’s usually just a problem with baby’s position. You might try laying back to nurse baby or sitting in an upright position.
It can be because baby has a tongue or lip tie or if mom has a forceful letdown/over supply.
How old is baby?
How is baby acting when nurse seen without the nipple shield? Is it painful for you? Is baby not attached well?
A nipple shield should only be used for a few days and then weaned off. It can be hard to get baby to latch without one once you’ve started. It can also cause clogged ducts, low milk, supply, or thrush.
Can you pls guide how to have a good latch when the areola is big.. my baby is unable to latch properly
Hi Mommy! How old is baby?
It’s ok to not have all of your areola in baby’s mouth if your areola is really large. There should be more of the areola in baby’s mouth on the side where baby’s nose is.
To help baby get more breast in, you can “sandwich” your breast. Some moms with large breasts been to always hold their breast in a sandwich while baby nurses.
Are you having any pain while baby is latched. Are you able to mostly feed from the breast?
She is 4.5 month old. No pain while feeding but sometimes due to engorgement, it's difficult to sandwitch hold.
Since 2 months ,she is in EBF but her weight has not gained much. Birth weight: 2.8 Kilograms and now at 4.5 age 5.1 KGs
Would you suggest what can be done from my side like which food can I include in my diet so that baby can get benefited ? I tried giving formula milk she rejected that.. I haven't introduced solids yet.
