samy,
ok ok. i get what you mean but what happen if you are outside & cant lie down?
This very tension. Let me share my story.
1st day, don’t know what happen. In the morning I feed him cereal on his buggy. When he refuse to nurse, I thought he still very full. After few hours, I believe something wrong. When he falls asleep in the buggy, I quickly carry and nurse him. He would not refuse until he is totally wake up. One the way back home, I nursed and laid down in the car back seat. he latched, but not much. At home, at first laid on bed, then slowly change to sit up position.
2nd day. Offer several times, but still failed. I said, "good baby, mummy pain pain, got alot of milk milk. BB be good ah.. drink abit la, help mummy to release the pain and drink abit la." Ya it work some time, when he start to push me away, i will says "drink some more, some more, mommy's good boy. So I wait until he fall asleep first. Most all also quick nap. So no chance. That time, really out of idea. What method also cannot. I what I did was nurse him when he was lying on his buggy. Huh very difficult method. But he latch a lot. So how tired also, worth la..
4th day, went to hair salon. This time, he cry for hungry. Luckily, the salon got a beautician room. I used the room and laid on the facial bed and nursed.
5th day, the last day nursing strike, i went to shopping with DH and BB. I tried to nurse in the car. But he refused. So don't care loh. Go shopping and DH carry him and he fall asleep. I decided not to nurse him first. Then we have lunch. Left my baby in the buggy and looking at us eating. I know he might already hungry. Still not offer to nurse. Then I told my husband that I want to buy a nursing pillow so baby can lay down and nurse while I sitting, Some more baby weight like 1 packet of 10kg rice. So after that, I take my baby to the baby shop and try the nursing pillow. At first he refuses to nurse. After i put him on the pillow, he starts to latch on. So I brought the pillow loh.. After that, he back to normal already. Now with or without the pillow, he will accept to be nurse at any position.
Babies are smart. If you can, wait until he is hungry.

Thank you for the advice yah!
I plan to breasfeed for at least 6 months. Like many mommies, I prepared myself with breastfeeding books and articles when I was pregnant. After baby is born, went back few times to SJMC to seek for lactation consultant's advice about breastfeeding. And i also paid for Jenlia maternal for their home visit service. But in the end, you know what really boost my confidence in breastfeeding? It's my Indonesia maid!!! hahaha The first day she came to my house, I commented that my milk supply very low, she just replied that every woman has enough milk for her baby as long as you let the baby s*ckle. According to her, in her kampung because they have no money to buy formula, they have no choice but to breastfeed. They just eat lot of vege and drink 'jamu' to increase the milk supply. It's mother's instinct to breastfeed. From that day onwards, I have no doubt about my milk supply anymore!! I have yet to try her jamu that she claim will increase milk supply though.
Hi Lizzy,
Same here, my myanmar maid encourage me & also taught me ways to boost breast milk, because in their home country, every woman breastfeed their child for long so it is very common.
Happy breastfeeding!
Cheers,
Karen

Ya guess it's more of individual preference than being right or wrong.
Anyway I've just stopped b/feeding and now have to make milk for my baby during mid night, more h*ssle....

Sorry. Just want to add. You can still read to her beforebedtime. Usually, my baby gets a bath, m*ssage, song, read then nurse as long as she wants. sometimes she nurse for only 3 minutes then pops off the breast and go to sleep. sometimes she falls asleep while on the breast, then I lay her down in her crib. But our "routine" is often 30-1 hour long. However, she sleeps from 8pm till 6 am , straight. I find the calming routine really settles her. This is what has worked for me. hope it helps. |

lizzy, there is no right or wrong answer about nursing to sleep since i think depend on mother. for me, i will continue to nurse my son to sleep. i just dont want to deal with pacifier use anymore.
my daughter has pacifier and though she took it only to sleep, it was only yesterday at 18 months she is finally wean off it. she is not a thumb s*cker so its fine.
with my son, i rather him nurse, it will not only keep my supply up since i am feeding 2 children but it also the fastest way to get him to sleep. he is not going to nurse forever right..lol and since i stay at home and hv no problems with it, he will nursed as long as he wants. and personally i love nursing him to sleep, its our quiet time together after a hectic day. |

you just describe my almost 3 months old son word for word..lol
its not nursing strike just they are more aware of things going on. i think this "kay po chi" att*tude will be for a while since they will be more aware of surrounding as they grow older.
Dear AidaR,
Thank you for your reply
I brought my son to see Dr. Koe for check up, to see if there's any problem with him. Worried he might have ear or mouth infection. Dr. Koe said everything is normal with him, she did mention that it is perfectly normal for a 3 - 4mths old baby to behave this way. Just have to be patient and continue to breastfeed. Googled the net, apparently there's this thing called nursing necklace which is to occupy baby with nursing difficulties, such as distraction from baby's surroundings. Probably have to DIY one to keep my baby focus only on my breast.
Btw, would like to know if it is okay to let my baby s*ckle to sleep? My son can only fall asleep when I put him to my breast, he refuses other method, e.g. pacifier, sling, etc. According to the book "Asian Parenting Today", it is not advisable to do so, but according to Dr. Koe's article, it is okay to do so. I would like to practise habit of reading to my baby before he sleep, but if I let him s*ckle to sleep, it's impossible for me to do that. Any advice? Thank you.
Hi Lizzy, great that you have been breastfeeding your son exclusively up till now, keep it up!
If you ask me, personally I think letting baby s*ck to sleep is not a good habit, later on you will be the one suffer as no one else can pat him to sleep, more diff to wean him off next time also.
My son had his pacifier to sleep (wean off pacifier later on), while my girl will s*ck her fingers to sleep.
Cheers,
Karen

Hi mommies,
My bb is 3 mths old, have been exclusively breastfeeding him since birth. However, these 3 days he get easily distracted during feeding. When i feed him, he will s*ck for a while (less than 3 mins), stop, look at me, smile, and look around. He can only nurse peacefully before he fall asleep, i.e. during nap time and nite time. I have to turn off the light and feed him lying down. I have googled it thru net, it seems pretty normal for 3 - 4 mths old baby to act this way. Would like to know if any mommy experienced this before. And how long this "nursing strike" period will last? Thank you |
