I gave birth 18 days ago and only now my milk is coming in. My baby has been on formula since birth. I really am hoping I’ll be able to breastfeed her moving.
The more u put baby to breast and pump while babys not on the preast the milk will come, milk is coming in more and more the more it is coming out of the breast

Hi when did it get better
Tips on how I can’t get my baby to latch and drink breastmilk from me instead of the bottle. Every time I put her on she cries so much. What should i do
Hi, there have been studies where you sit in a tub with warm water and reenact birth. And the baby "resets" behaviors like latching.
Do you mean also with the baby underwater at point of delivery or how pls 🙏
Heyy. Same problem with me now. Pls tell me how u have done and dealt the problem
I am also facing same issue, how did you resolve it
My baby is 13 months, he is not taking breast from yesterday.. i want to nurse my son till 2 years . Im so heart broken.. i keep crying and feeling guilty for going to office day before yesterday i think so many things.. he was obsessed with my breast now he doesnt want it all.. hr cries in hunger and he goes back.. he vomitted while feeding a day before.. any suggestion..my nursing sessions were such a grt bonding time.. now i feel so alienated from him.. i wfo for 2 days rest of the days im at home only.. please any suggestion.. Edit: After two days of offering, he came back to me.. now 2 years 1 months trying slow weaning.. Dont give up mumma, just be patient and try again and again they will come back..
Give him a sippy cup or bottle.
Mine never came back to the breast😢😢😢 2 months later
Love that you made this video. Can you make more please.
I am currently in hospital with 7 incisions from abscesses in my right breast. Ouch is all I can say. I’ve nursed 6 babies and only had basic mastitis once, this time is a whole new thing. I’m fortunately able to pump and no incisions are under the flange though it is EXTREMELY painful. Will I give up? Absolutely not. I’ll get through the pain and we will be back on track soon
It has been 5 months since my delivery and I have been feeding formula milk till now ... Can I have breast milk? I can only milk supply one drop.
Ive done some research. The answer is yes, because you can trigger hormones to create milk through consistent stimulating of the nipple at least 8-10 times a day for about 20 mins. Put baby on breast or use a breast pump. Consistency will help and so will skin-to-skin with baby
im trying to relactate using this method too baby is two months old formula made my supply go down
@@amydv8123 I am having twin boys i started formula milk for them they are 4 months old now, they are not taking my breast now.. what to do??
@@shabnambanu20 i have the same problem. I have twin boys too. They r refusing my breast milk
It's been a month and a half since my baby's breast rejection.. Please help.. He doesn't even take bottles.. He's very week now.. He only dream feeds and that too only a little..
Any solution? My baby is the same... we are feeding him by syringe as I ve lost my milk supply.
@@andreeatoma8229 try dream feeding with a bottle..
@@deekshamathur4722 doesn t work either
I am having the same problem! Has it gotten better for you?
@@alicemawroe8709Still the same.. Sometimes different positions work.. But mostly I have to first make him sleep and then feed..
My baby still not latching with nipple shield even what should I do plz help
Sameeee smh I’ve been so stressed
Start pumping offer the bottle first then when he is very hungry try latch him so he/she won't make the difference on that moment
My baby acts like I am trying to give her poison whenever I bring her near my breasts or that my breasts have spikes.
This has given me more confidence in breast feeding knowing that relactation is possible
My baby wants breast milk but he is not opening his mouth as much he used to. Its been couple of days, what should I do to open is mouth wider? He has been taking milk just fine and now he wants breast milk but he is unable to open his mouth?
Same exact reason why I’m here. I don’t know what to do 😢
Its been 3 weeks now, What do i do???
Any luck? I am in the same situation
It’s been almost two months for me smh
@@dessybaee me too, he’s 8 months now and breastfeeds as normal, i’m so grateful i kept going, even When it lasted for months🙌🏻
@@sosololo4116 what u did plz reply my baby is not taking breast feed from tomorrow
@@srupareddy9057 i tried many tricks. I breastfed while he was asleep, i breastfed while he was on the baby carrier as i was swinging. I tried giving him his pacifier and when he opened his mouth i gave him the breast instead. I breastfed in the dark while swinging on the bed or while i was walking. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didnt, but i never forced him, that can actually make it even worse. When i tried all of these tricks and he refused then i pumped and gave him the bottle. It was one of the hardest most desperate moments of my life, but i didn’t give up because i really wanted to breastfeed at least one year. So my advice is keep trying, use these tricks and be patient, its lasted for over 2 months for me which is a long time, so take me as an example that it can work❤️hope he starts breastfeeding as normal as quick as possible, you can do this mama🙌🏻
Skin to Skin worked ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much
Great to hear. Skin to skin is so underused, but so amazing!
How did you do it?
How long did you do it before it worked
@@deekshamathur4722 my LO doing strike because of milk fast flow what should I do , can you give some tips , she never took bottle
I’ve been pumping for 6 months as my son refuses the breast itself. He pushes me and refuses me. 🙁
U r not alone, I stopped pumping at 1 month now 2 month, I want to re start due to color change in stool
Have you tried different positions. Laid back, with him on your chest, just snuggling, and doing things at his own pace, often works.
I’m still pumping 😭😢so hard .. him refuse my breast . And cry a lot just if touch my breast.. don’t know what can i do

Is it possible to treat abscess with antibiotics ? or it's must to go through incision ?
It's important that any possible abscess is diagnosed by a professional, who will tell you the next step, but an abscess will need to be aspirated, and anti-biotics are usually given afterwards.
Great information thank you. I am edical student in my book they say not to feed with affected breast i am confused a bit
I just had abscess and dr cut me did surgery closed to areola . I still want to breastfeed , now I’m on antibiotics after couple of days I’m done with antibiotics. I’m concern would I be still able to breastfeed from my that effected breast ?
Many women worry when they have some form of surgery on their breast as to whether they will be able to continue to breastfeed on that side. Whilst there are no guarantees, the best way is to try. Much depends on how the surgeon cut you and how much of the breast was affected. I would suspect that you would be OK, in regards to an abscess. While you have had an abscess, it would be worth checking out the video on breast implants - thebreastfeedingcompanion.com/project/breastfeed-with-implants/ - as the same question arises here. Hope that helps.
nice stuff
