| I have met with the latation consultant. My problem is I have some blocked duct which I am now under medication (approved by doctor) to solove it. Latation consultant also did massage to help encourage smoother flow of my milk so as to help increase milk supply. Another problem, my baby is a bit pre-mature and he is extrememly sleepy. He can normally nurse seriously for 5-10 minutes and then he fall asleep. And then he cry within 5 mins after we put him down. I then nurse again for 5-10 mins and he totally fall asleep regardless of me trying different ways to wake him. This whole process keep on adn on for more than an hour...still he does not get enough milk. I have to supplement him at teh end...there seems no effective way to wake him even I tried all teh methods suggested by latation consultant adn doctors.
I am using the Medela electronic pump but it is not effective in draining my milk cause I am not engorge at all. I amy need to go buy another Avent hand pump which was recommended by many others.... appreciate any share of experience if any Mum has came across similar problem on breastfeeding. And the pump is important too. Hope teh Avent one can work. Otherwise, it take me an hour to hand express (much more than what I got from Medela)...but again, very time-consuming and I dont have much time to sleep...  |
