A couple question nearly Breastfeeding?
I'm currently 8 3/4 months pregnant and getting ready for my little one to arrive, but I haven't been able to confer to a Lactation consultant yet, and I was wondering a couple things.
1. I plan I breastfeeding, of course, and I know in that will be instances where I won't be able to breastfeed directly, so I'd like to express the milk and nurture using a bottle. My thing is how long will the milk be good for with an rime pack in a diaper bag/insulated bag?
2. How do I go in the order of expressing milk without interrupting my baby's feeding routine and without possibly going away him with not enough milk at his feeding?
Any other breastfeeding direction will be appreciated. Thank you.
on ice 4 hrs.
express milk 1hr after feedin (in the morning you usually have more.)
and the more you express the more you'll bring back.
You can actually leave freshly expressed breastmilk out, at room temperature for close to 8 hours.
The other questions, I have no idea, because I never figure that out, either.
Answers: What do you mean there will be instances where you won't know how to feed directly? do you mean in the hospital?
It depends on the outside warmth first and how long you tend to keep it with the ice/pack around it
The best time to express is AFTER your baby have had a feed as they may get discouraged if at hand isn't as much milk as they like or you've just drained it all out and it become too hard for bubs to get the milk out
When you bottle feed near the expressed milk, i suggest the Adiri baby bottles as bubs can get "nipples confussion" and thsi can lead to problems beside breastfeeding and not latching on correctly after taking the bottle-Speak to your lactation consultant
Make sure those first few latches are correctly positoned as they may lead to sore nipples and may discourage you even if you do really want to b/f
>Take some nipple cream into the hospital (100%lanolin)
>Use re-usable breastpads, especially if you have sore/cracked nipples as disposables hold the plastic backing which doesn't help them to breathe and heal
>Wear cotton bras, or mostly cotton bras that aren't too tight
>Try not to wear a bra to bed during pregnancy and tolerate your breasts get to the air and rub against your pj's as this will help them not be as sensitive because one squished in a bra 24/7 can make them VERY sensitve which isn't ideal for breastfeeding

I can't really help you with those questions end in I only feed from the breast.. but I can give you some guidance that may be helpful! :-)
1- Be careful with the nurses at the hospital. Some will try to sneak your child formula. I roomed contained by with my son and they only took him for testing. I tolerate everyone know I was breastfeeding and apparently he wouldn't be quiet for his hearing oral exam so the nurse put a bottle in his mouth. He drank 2 ounces of formula.. which he was allergic to. Deep down I hope she is still on unemployment. If it wasn't for his allergy though I wouldn't of agreed. He started refusing the breast too for a while.. cause he was PACKED have 2 ounces of food at once on his 1st or 2nd day of life. People probably think the babies are newly rejecting the breast. It gave us issues but thankfully we were competent to get past it.
2- Get some lanolin now. The CVS brand is cheaper and freshly as good. If your nipples get sore make sure you use it.. it help to avoid cracks ... which HURT to nurse with!
3- Try to get educated on the correct latching method if you haven't on the other hand. & if you have go over it often! I read The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding at the finishing of my pregnancy and it was great. But even with this the moment the doctor handed me that little newborn after all the labor and the shock of having a child in my arms profusely of it went out the window. They have you nurse them right away (or should).. it seem foreign so it's good if you've gone over it a bunch and are comfortable with it.
Anyways, just stuff I academic along the way! Good luck! Source(s): Nursing mom of an 11 month old
