Can I buy phillips manual pump? Will it work...? Actually I am having baby hug manual pump and it's not working...
I have the electric one and that works well, no pain at all. Even I had luvlap earlier that stopped working after 2-3 uses only . Philips avent is good. You can check the reviews.

Dear To Be Mom's congratulations..!! From the day one of confirmation it's every woman's dream about the baby's arrival and concern about baby's growth.You are advised to be care and have healthy diet saying 'You Have to eat for 2', so that your baby will grow healthy . But dear mom's eating, caring while pregnancy is not enough for a healthy baby. The first gift to your baby must b very precious why not it's your Breast milk..!! Many of them aren't aware of process to lactate during pregnancy...
Even me!! I had C-section on 18th of August but lactated lately.. As it's a C-section I am unable to feed that day. My baby was on FM for 4 days, Dr handed over my baby the very next day but I haven't lactated for 2days later on foremilk started bt my son didn't latch it.. I heard many of mom's gone through this hard situation. Due to lack of sufficient feeding he detected jaundice and was shifted to NICU for about 30 hrs.. I cried a lot why what's wrong why wasn't I lactated.Many adviced me to do massage with warm water,oil and on one of the nurses advice I took garlic milk, within hours I have lactated..
Later on I came to know that from 3rd trimester onwards we have to acknowledge about breastmilk importance,process of lactation,breast massage with warm oil, taking care about nipples and must have an idea about lacting foods.
Breast milk contains DHA it helps in baby's brain development.
So dear expecting Mom's spare 10 to 15 minutes and get aware of the importance of BM.

it's an amazing feeling being a Mom. My daughter is more active and happy till now. Because I feed her adequate. I'm not lacking and I do not face overflow conflicts. The only reason is I maintain a proper diet. It includes our emotions too.

I delivered my baby through C-Section. In the initial two days my body could not produce milk in sufficient quantity, just few drops. Also, it was so difficult for me to sit and feed the baby. My family ladies advised me to massage my breasts with warm water. Finally from the third day I was able to feed the baby. But due to lack of correct sitting posture while breastfeeding, I endee up with cracked nipples. Then again it was making the breastfeeding sessions very painful for me. Slowly I learnt the correct feeding position to feed the baby. My baby is going to be two months old and I am enjoying this beautiful bond and privilege that I can feed my baby. It gives me confidence for the coming future as well.

overflow of milk which my new born is unable to take...I don't want to pump as it increases more milk production
Don't empty your breasts but the amount that will ease the pressure and doesn't signal the body to make more milk.

biggest problem I m facing is overflow of breast milk.. which sometimes leads to engorged breast also... inspite of using breast pads my clothes are always wet... so m using extra clothes during nights and double padded bras with breast pads during day... along with that I use breast pump nd store that milk in baby feeder
don't pump to empty breasts it will send wrong signals to gland.. pump only till u r a but comfortable

In reply to Kanika
You should pump more often. By now you must be knowing by what your breasts are engorged so before that pump
Milk regularly
please don't pump.. as it will send wrong message to ur glands and they will continue to overproduce.. take warm shower, with oil massage on breasts.. hand express a lil for comfort.. the body will soon regularise with the demand of baby.

In reply to Avani
how many times a new born should pee in a day?
more than 6 times is termed as a good number.. below 6 could mean Baby is dehydrated
