Today's Event "Moms Day Out" #MomsDayOutWithDTM #MotherNurturePH Thank you for sharing your journey Mommy Lan💚 I've learned so much specially on how I can handle my struggles between on how I can manage being a mother and on breastfeeding too. I do relate on your talk. Breastfeeding other babies are very fun and also helpful. I did that also when I was on fabella hospital and my baby is admitted. I ve also experience the tandem feeding and it was so unexplainable feeling. Super happy lang ako na nakapag breastfeed ako kahit sa ibang babies at nakatulong pa❤️ Thank you for sharing your journey on how Mother Nurture started and grow. Also thank you Mommy Nish❤️ For making this happen. I am so happy to be part and meet new moms here❤️ PS: Sorry for the videos, yan lang ang narecord hehe. Nakikinig kasi ako😊 #normalizebreastfeeding #relactating #breastfeedingjourney #momsdayout #mothernurture (at Lola Cafe Podium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lHgw8hx_G/?igshid=1mkpywi8c5ytd

Relactating

Okay momma's. I've stocked up on Domperidone, Fenugreek, and Blessed Thistle. I've got my Basil and Fennel Essential Oils. Does anyone have any tips and tricks to get this going again?

How I started relactating!

After having my son on formula, I missed the bonding time we have while breastfeeding. He was barely over a month old, I found bottle/formula feeding was inconvient for me, I kind of freak out about germs, since bottles & all parts had to be washed and sterilized before each use & oh how time consuming it was! Plus formula is on the pricey side when you purchasing it frequently. I hated hauling bottles, water & formula everywhere we went. I went to WIC & told them I wanted to start breastfeeding & needed help getting my milk supply up. So they gave me an electric pump & told me to pump for 30 minutes, every 2-3 hours. To me that was very demanding but I understand you have to be commited because it’s not very easy to start up again after you stopped lactating. You have to be willing to put in work but anyway washing parts was still in the way. I was afraid the longer I tried to relactate the more my son would forget how to latch on. So I just put off pumping for awhile, but when I gave birth my milk hadn’t come in right away, so the nurses gave me a LACTATION AID, it’s this cool little thing that holds some formula and it runs down this thin tube - which is tape right above your nipple so baby can eat thinking it’s your milk. I went back to the hospital & told them that I wanted him to practice latching on again plus be eating at the same time so I asked them for this Lactation Aid, they were all for breastfeeding and gave it to me. I started using it with my son again, little troubles at first until he learned that it’s where his food comes from. My milk started to come in! I love it, although there was minimal washing involved it was worth it! No more carrying around tons of stuff! Breast is best, good luck!

She's a natural

Alyssa will suckle at my breast for a good ten minutes or so. I'm only making drops, but she hasn't forgotten how to nurse. I think she may miss it even more than I do! 😊

My dream (both literal and my wish) came true.. Lydia is completely off formula as of today!

Best Christmas present ever.

Lydia just did the best thing she could ever do for me right now..

She woke for a night feeding, and completely refused the bottle. She turned away and shoved it away from her. And a soon as I picked her up? Calmed and started nursing.

I couldn't help it, I.broke down crying. I'm still tearing up.

This is what i've been fighting so hard for, for a year.

I just...I'm so happy

Ohhhhhh my goodness I'm still all shaken up and teary and sniffling and she's back out like a light from nursing.

Thank you God thank you so so so so much

Support?

I’m trying to relactate and I could really use some support. Success stories anything. I’m taking fenugreek and pumping all the time but I’m starting to get discouraged. I love you all and any help would be greatly appreciated <3
