Hello , Thanks for your request. First of all let me tell you that your milk is always adequate for your baby if you feed him regularly. Feed your baby on demand whenever he is hungry and sucks vigorously. Let him suckle for around 15-20 min. so that both his hunger and thirst are taken care of.Also breastfeed him at night, as baby needs milk every 2-3 hrs even while sleeping. It gives him energy to grow and it produces milk for the coming day. So feed him 2-3 times at night and 6-8 times during ...

Express milk frequently to avoid congestion and pain , and to maintain further milk flow. Feed your baby first with expressed breast milk(ebm) using spoon, and later the formula feed. Once healed, you can start nursing (breast-feeding) directly. Most imp is adequate weight gain - if this is satisfactory and there is no feed intolerance, you can usually change to normal formula feeds after your child has completed 37-38 weeks (i.e. 2-3 weeks after birth). ...

hello.. i have 1yr and 3 month old baby.. im pure breastfeed ..this last month (january) i didnt had my menstration yet.. is there a possibility that im pregnant even if im pure breastfeed to my baby?? and is sarpentina leaves can cause miscarriage??

Hi. I have a few concerns here. If your baby is still purely breastfed and less than 6 months old, then there is a very slim chance that you are pregnant. However, pure breastfed baby means that your baby is not taking any formula milk nor any solid food. So I am hoping you are wrong when you said “Pure Breastfeed”. A 1 yr and 3 mo. Old baby should already be taking solid food. If your baby is already taking solid food, then yes there is possibility that you are pregnant. ...
