Promote breastfeeding!😊

I was in training when I gave birth. I had to take lactation breaks (OPD, ward, and ICU duties). Lagi kong dala ang magic bag consisting of ice packs, milk bags, and breastpump. Always excited to bring home what I had expressed during my duty... everyday pasalubong kay baby.

Lucky to have supportive co-residents because I could have had given up easily. Breastfeeding is not a walk in the park journey.

Now, I am just happy na maipapasa ko na ang mahiwagang breastpump to a colleague-close friend. 🥰

Do yoi have any breastfeeding concerns? I am here to help. Send me a DM 📩💌

Feel free to share your breastfeeding journey!

Do you know a common reason parents quit breastfeeding? It's not what you think.

It's perceived low milk supply. Perceived. Not actual. And who can blame them? Stores sell 9oz bottles. Social media bombards us with ads for fancy drinks and cookies with pictures of happy moms and overflowing bottles of milk.

But we're here to tell you the real story. Your body is only supposed to produce an ounce of milk an hour. And that's both sides combined. After 4 weeks, your baby will take 20-30oz of milk for their first year. You never have to increase your supply again. The content of the milk changes over time, but the volume doesn't.

Milk has a circadian rhythm, meaning different amounts get made at different times of day. It's normal to pump much more in the morning than in the afternoon. That doesn't mean there's something wrong.

When you leave a bottle for your baby, leave 1-1.25oz/hr you'll be gone. Small, frequent bottles help keep your baby's expectations realistic. If they're getting two 5oz bottles in 8hrs, they're still getting 1.25oz/hr, but do you only nurse your baby twice in 8hrs? They'll start to expect large volumes from you, which can make them impatient or fussy. Some babies refuse to nurse and will only take bottles. Keeping the bottles realistic and having a clear understanding of a healthy milk supply will help you meet your feeding goals.

Save this so you can remember how much to leave in bottles, and to remind yourself you're doing a great job making milk!
