Can I breastfeed and formula feed? 

🥰 Pumping moms get extra gold stars ⭐️ . It is so much extra work to pump. You are DEFINITELY still a breastfeeding mom. Be so proud of yourself! ❤️

@@destinysutherland1610 it’s important to enjoy baby with as little stress as possible 🥰😴 Babies aren’t expected to “sleep through the night” until 6 months old. And 6 hours is considered sleeping through the night. Remember that you will need to pump when baby gets formula (or previously pumped milk), to maintain supply. This way, you can add back in more breastfeeding later once baby sleeps longer stretches, but that’s totally up to you.❤️

Awww Thanks! ❤️

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 255 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

@@jwokes13 It’s totally fine to do what you and baby need. You can keep working at it but enjoy your baby too❤️ Some babies start with a really small chin and even a recessed chin. These can add challenges for the first weeks. If you haven’t already, find a local lactation counselor to help. If she’s not helpful, find a different one. You’re doing great mommy! ❤️🥰

That’s awesome! ❤️ Most moms can combination feed with great success. I wish that all moms could be this successful. I know you’ve worked hard to keep things going strong. Thanks for sharing . This encourages other mommies ❤️ Moms with at least a little bit of a forceful letdown/over supply don’t see a drop in supply. I’m not sure if you have that but you might. If so, combination feeding can help the situation from causing tummy issues for baby and clogged ducts for mom. If moms reading this, start to see a drop in supply (usually 4 to 6 weeks), reach out to a LC for help right away. We do have a normal drop in supply at that point but it’s good to get help if you’re ever struggling. 🥰

Well thanks for watching! Maybe a struggling mom is going to cross your path soon and you can reassure her❤️ 4 months was a wonderful amount of breastmilk for baby. You did (and are doing) great! My moms who are teachers, bar tenders and nurses, have the hardest time getting pumping breaks and that can greatly affect Supply. 👩‍⚕️

I hear this all the time that their LC doesn’t want to work with moms who formula feed. It’s so sad. How can they expect a mom to be successful if they won’t support her where she’s at. I do ask moms if they want to get to exclusively breast-feeding, when they’re combo feeding. I love it when a mom knows that’s not what she wants to do. You go mommy! You are paving the way for other moms. ❤️

He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Any amount of breastmilk that baby has received will give baby benefits that stick with them for the rest of their lives. Your doing an amazing job! If you stopped tomorrow, you’ve still done a wonderful thing for your baby. Have you considered a hands free pump? Many of my nurse moms like the freedom. Be sure to add some breast massage when you put them on and take them off. You will see a big drop in pumping out put at around this age because your milk drops to just what baby needs. It’s usually around 1 ounce and hours in the afternoon. If baby is taking in more than that, have you “Pace fed” baby? This really helps to see baby exactly what they need. ❤️

When a mom produces a large amount of milk, she usually has a condition called Forceful letdown/over supply. When you have this condition, you will have it with every baby. Some babies do just fine with it but for others, it can cause problems with really high or low weight gain and tummy issues. When the condition is not under control, baby ends up getting less fat in their milk. To make up for this, baby will take in a much larger amount of milk. It greatly increases the risk of clogged duct and mastitis for Mom too. I’ll attach my three part video series on this condition if you’d like to check it out. The first video will just help you to determine if you have the condition. It can be managed, but it always needs to be watched. When you have this condition, breastfeeding should be approached in a very different way. Partially formula feeding can often help baby. ❤️ Forceful Letdown and Oversupply ru-vid.com/group/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe

@marycahillclc Oooh, thank you! I was wondering why he wasn't gaining weight as well as we'd like!

That’s great! It’s good to know what’s best for you😃 just keep in mind that (unless you have a forceful letdown/over supply) you’ll need to massage your breasts and pump, as often as baby eats to keep supply up. ❤️

How old is baby? Did your breast grow or change during pregnancy? Do you have some milk? Will baby latch?

Do you feel like she is latched well and swallowing often while latched? Was she having lots of wet diapers before starting formula? Newborns need woken up more during a feeding. You may need to strip her down to just a diaper during a feeding. Maybe even tickle her feet with a wet washcloth. Breastfed babies eat much more often than formula fed babies. In the first few weeks, it can be almost nonstop. It’s normal for the evenings to definitely be nonstop. Breastmilk comes out slowly and digests quickly. Here’s a couple of videos that I think may help ❤️ Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3DSN2Dwf5M.html How to Keep Baby Awake while Nursing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UV7FmgiBLmo.html

Thank you so much for your reply! She is latched well and there are days swallowing often with small breaks in between or she is just falling asleep after few swallowings. I haven’t counted the wet diapers when I was breastfeeding her exclusively :/ . I watched your videos there are very helpful! Shall I breastfeed her for specific amount of time eg. 20’ ?

God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord.

And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him.

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Im currently going through the same with my 15 day old...he feeds constantly till my breast go flat...

Initial fifteen to twenty days are painful but once you are used to it...pain doesn't come back. Also don't avoid BF since it's paining. Please help baby to latch and bf exclusively till it's possible. Then formula feed + breast feed will suffice. I didn't know bf is a painful journey than the actually delivery. But once those sore breasts are gone.... I enjoyed feeding her. I had low supply initially so I did both.

Hi Mommy! If you’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months, then you wouldn’t have Mammary Hypoplasia. What signs are you seeing that make you believe that there’s a problem? Is baby not gaining weight? How many wet diapers is baby having every 24 hours? Have you been pumping regularly? If you have only been feeding from the breast and not pumping, you probably have a perfect amount of breastmilk. If you randomly pump after or between feedings, it’s normal to see just drops of milk at 6 months postpartum.

Not eating enough or not getting rest can possibly decrease supply but usually that’s not a problem. Our breastmilk is made from our white blood cells. Our body is so amazing. It keeps making it as long as baby is at the breast removing it as often as they need or if we are pumping breastmilk, at least as often as baby eat, with added breast massage before pumping. When extreme exhaustion hits, it can be so difficult to keep going, and our mental health can be affected also. 😥 She is so very blessed to have you there to help and encourage her. There’s nothing wrong with adding formula But if she would like to get back to exclusively breastfeeding, it’s important that shepump whenever baby eats. Pumping is a lot of work so many moms choose to continue breastfeeding but let some of the other things go. Having someone else change baby’s diaper, burp baby, clean the house, cook dinner and so on. Only she can decide what’s best for her and for your family. I would suggest choosing a time to formula feed every day and stick to that time. Our body makes more milk by what gets taken out but also by what time of day it gets taken out. So it’s very helpful to keep supply up if you are removing milk from the breast every day at around the same time and the same amount. At around this time postpartum, Moms will start to feel like their milk supply is dropping when it really hasn’t. This is because our breast start to feel flat and empty like before we were even pregnant. This is very normal. Milk is made while we are nursing or pumping, it’s not stored in our breast. In the first weeks when we feel engorged, that is mostly inflammation/swelling. Babies also go through a time of growth spurts, and cluster feeding. This can start happening now and sometimes happens every two or three weeks. When baby is going through this fussy time, it can make moms believe that their supply is low when it really is not. You can know that baby getting enough, if baby always has six or more wet diapers every 24 hours. During a growth spurt, baby doesn’t need or want more to eat, but they do want to be at the breast more often and they may come off the breast and seem hungry because they are upset and not feeling well. It hurts to grow so quickly and breastmilk has natural painkillers in it and mommies arms are comforting too. When mom is feeling well and has help around, she should let baby be at the breast for as long as possible. Even if baby seems to not be eating it’s great for supply to let baby use mom like a human pacifier. For some mom‘s, this can be relaxing, but for others, it can be overwhelming to have baby on the breast so long. Again, only mom can decide if that’s working OK for her. If baby is having a regular formula bottle at times during the day, Mom can stay on that schedule or she can decide to work back towards exclusively breastfeeding in the future. Either way is just fine. If she decides that she wants to get back to fully Breastfeeding, I have a video that will walk you through how to do that and at the same time slowly wean off of formula. I hope that helps dad! Again, it’s so wonderful that you are taking an active role in this. I know that having a new baby and an exhausted wife is also very stressful for you. It will get better ❤️‍🩹 let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. Here’s that video if you need it later. Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3DSN2Dwf5M.html

If he’s having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours, you know he’s getting enough. At around 6 to 8 weeks, baby goes in to a big growth spurt. During this time, baby doesn’t want or need more to eat but they will be fussy and want to nurse more often. It’s often worse in the afternoon and evening. Baby is overly tired or over stimulated in the evening. When baby is growing so quickly, it’s uncomfortable for baby. Baby can also have teething pain, even though you won’t see teeth for many weeks. Eating and being at the breast are comforting. Breastmilk has natural painkillers in it and when baby nurses more often, they take in a little more fat. That fat also comforts baby. Also at this time, moms usually feel like they don’t have as much milk because their body has regulated supply. Your breasts may feel flat and empty and don’t get engorged very often but you make milk while baby is nursing. ❤️

Hi mommy! How old is baby now? If you can get baby to start latching at the breast, you can increase your supply. You can add pumping but baby on the breast is best. When you were pumping, were you not even seeing drops? We’re you getting any milk out in the beginning?

And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so.

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

@@AshBrem That’s awesome! You do what’s best for you and baby. 🥰 Here are a couple of videos that might be helpful. It’s important to know that babies who are exclusively breastfed from the breast take in an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours. This is for babies from one month to six months old. I know it seems crazy, but they don’t increase in their intake of breastmilk. Formula fed babies need more ounces as they age because their body doesn’t completely absorb it. When baby is fed breastmilk in a bottle, they often taken in much more than they would from the breast. “Pace feeding” helps a breastfed baby to take in exactly what they need and helps mom to be able to pump enough. In the first few weeks, most moms can pump a larger amount. Maybe 4 to 6 ounces combined if they’re pumping in place of the feeding. After about 4 to 6 weeks, moms will have their milk regulated down to just what baby needs. This amount is usually 2 to 3 ounces in place of a feeding. At this point if you’re pumping after a feeding, it may only be drops. ❤️ Paced Feeding ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NIDWewaslOQ.html Pumping Breastmilk at Work ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m1xSP3jknQM.html How Many Ounces of Breastmilk Does My Baby Need? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L2eaaNq2R50.html Pumping Moms With Low Milk Supply ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_of4OTnOubc.html

Hi mommy! Just be sure that I understand. You feed from the breast in the morning but you are having to breastfeed and supplement in the afternoon? Are you doing weighted feeds to let you know that he’s only getting 2 ounces? How many ounces of formula are you feeding per 24 hours? How often are you feeding from the breast? Do you pump often? How many ounces are you getting at a session and do you know how many ounces you pump per 24 hours? ❤️

Yes, that is correct I am able to breast feed in the morning but I am not able to produce enough milk later in the afternoon. Yes, I am doing weighted feeds every time he is breast feeding. The first two feedings in the morning he gets about 4 oz each session. I have a scale so I am doing weighted feeds at home. I had to order a scale because he wasn’t gaining weight, so it was peace of mind. I breast feed and when he pulls off and is frustrated I weigh him and then I give him pumped breast milk or formula in a bottle, after the the bottle I then pump for 15-20 mins. I am giving him about 8-12oz of formula per 24 hours. He feeds about 6 times and I am giving him 4 oz every feeding. In the morning after he feeds 4 oz I am able to pump 1.5 oz after, the second feed he will get 4 oz and I am only able to pump .5 oz after ward. This is about the max I pump after he breastfeeds the rest of the evening. Some of the feedings he will get 2oz and some he will only get an ounce. He is still having trouble with his latch and we are still doing exercises but gets enough in the morning but not later in the afternoon. I tried to completely cut off formula and bottles for a few days. Ut he would just nurse and nurse and cry and cry and then he lost weight again so I went back to bottles. I think since he can get enough in the morning I feel like it’s my milk supply that is the problem now. I have never pumped an entire 24 hours without him latching.

I did send a message on your website:) you actually are the only person I could find that covers these issues, so I went online to seek you out for some help as well.

@@user-vo9kx3bn3f from 1 month to 6 month old, and exclusively breastfed baby who feeds exclusively from the breast, takes in an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours. This sounds crazy but it’s true. Breastfed babies just utilize breastmilk differently and more completely as they age. Formula fed babies need more formula as they age and have much more waste/poop. If baby is fed breastmilk from a bottle and not fed using a Paced Feeding method, they will take in more than they need or want. This can give terrible gas issues and sometimes even slow weight gain. It wan also be extremely difficult for moms to keep up with pumping enough to be wasted. Your supply is probably a little low because of the formula but you can do those evenings feedings like this; feed from both breasts, give 1/2 of your normal formula, then feed from both breasts again, then finish with the rest of the bottle. Your supply will increase in 3 to 5 days. Baby will start to not want that second part of the formula. Our breastmilk supply is much lower in the evenings but higher in fat. The extra fat helps with sleep and better brain development. Because our supply is lower, we need to nurse much more often during this time. Sometimes every hour. Babies are naturally fussier in the evening. It hurts to grow so quickly, they are over stimulated or overly tired. When they are given a huge amount of food. They tend to just fall asleep/pass out. ❤️

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Starting a bottle before breastfeeding is established can sometimes cause babies to refuse to feed at the breast but sometimes it’s not an option and babies need to bottle feed instead. Holding babies on your bare skin with a blanket over them is helpful for regulating their temperature, heart rate and blood sugar. It also helps to increase milk supply. Your girls may be a few weeks old before you can hold them on your skin but you can often get close and touch them. That helps them to hear your voice and feel you near. If you are able to get breastmilk to your babies that would be wonderful ❤️ I would ask right now, to speak to the lactation counselor at the hospital where you’ll deliver. Find out what their protocols are. Some will try to get baby to the breast as soon as possible. Talking to them ahead of time will help them to know what your hopes are for breastfeeding. Yes, start pumping as soon as possible. In the first 2 or 3 hours then continue pumping every 2 to 3 hours. Congrats times 2 mommy! ❤️❤️

Thanks so much ❤❤

And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him.

You can do it mommy! Put baby to the breast as often, and as long as possible. Trust your body and trust your baby. If baby always has plenty of wet diapers every day, then you know they’re getting enough. Be sure to find a lactation counselor in your area so that you can contact them right away if you have any problems ❤️

Just to be sure that I understand… you are exclusively breastfeeding her. You also do some extra pumping. Your doctor thinks she is eating too often for a 2 month old. All correct? Are you doing the extra pumping to store or do you feed that to her too? What do you feel like your supply is low? We all have one side that produces more than the other. For some moms it’s not much of a difference but for others it’s a little more. The good news is that the good side makes up for the slacker. If you weren’t pumping, you wouldn’t even know that there was a difference. Is baby having at least six wet diapers, every 24 hours? I’m not sure why your doctor believes that baby shouldn’t be eating as often as she is. So many doctors do not understand breast-feeding. Unless I’m missing something, in my opinion, your doctor doesn’t understand breastfeeding. Every baby is so different. Some are better at transferring milk than others. At two months old there are some babies who nurse every hour and a half to two hours and then there are other babies that only eating every five or six hours.

They gave me Tylenol with codeine after the fact they told me it would be safe for my breastmilk

Formula is great alternative to breastmilk. You’re doing great to be breastfeeding to 10 weeks and through Mastitis. It can become serious at times. Moms are sometimes hospitalized. Is it because of the antibiotics that you’re not able to give your milk for 24 hours? Or is it the Tylenol and Codeine? I have rarely seen bilateral Mastitis. So I have some questions Have you had lots of clogged ducts throughout the last 10 weeks? Do you have a Forceful Letdown/Over supply? I’m guessing that you probably do. If so, have you taken steps to control it. Do you do extra pumping for storage or only pump when necessary (engorgement or clogged ducts)? Do you take Sunflower Lecithin? What are your thoughts as to why this is happening?

Hello Mary, thank you very much for taking time to reply. I believe I have an issue with engorgement and a forceful let down. Unfortunately, I was one of the moms who had to be hospitalized. I had tons of clogs, they did a culture on my milk and were able to finally provide the correct antibiotic on the 10th attempt. It was in fact, bilateral mastitis primarily more severe on the left side as I was told milk, can collect on the side you sleep on if you did not empty out properly that being the reason why mastitis was worse on the left side. Currently, I am primarily pumping, however, I also breast-feed though my baby has a mild upper lip tie. The main factor was my primary pump, I was using a portable hands free which was not emptying me out due to the lack of suction. Thankfully, now I have a hospital grade from the hospital Medela. (they allow you to rent) I was recommended to take a probiotic lacto prime as well as sunflower lecithin. I’m just navigating first time motherhood . Thank you again for the great advice and care you have put into your videos! They have been a tremendous help🩵

@@ashleynewman1173 I’m so glad that you’re on the right track now with the correct antibiotics. When you have the condition forceful, let down/over supply, you’ll have it with every baby but every baby will handle it differently. This is just a good thing to keep in mind for the future.❤️ I have a three part video series on forceful let down/over supply, I’ll link it here for you. The first video just helps you to determine if you have the condition, which you know that you do but it may help you to see what some of the other signs are . The second video will help you to get it under control. When you have this condition, it takes constant monitoring. It can be sent into overdrive so easily. It can sometimes be more stressful than having a low supply. Look at these videos and let me know if you have any questions. You’re doing a great job, mommy! 🥰 Forceful Letdown and Oversupply ru-vid.com/group/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe

@@marycahillclc thank you very much! That’s great to know God willing we are able to have another child! I’ve watched mostly all your videos now and truly appreciate your time and recommendations 🩵 bless you for helping all the mothers 🩵🩵

I know that feeds scary to not know what baby is getting but actually do have a too to know baby is getting enough. That’s counting wet diapers (heavy diapers count as 2). Baby should always have 6 or more wet diapers, every 24 hours. ❤️

I was in the same boat!

@@veegie07 oh no mommy 🥲.I’m so sorry that things are not going smoothly. Is the lactation counselor in your area that you can see? Call right away for an appointment because it may take a few days to be seen. In the meantime.. keeping supply up will be important. Tell me more about not being able to pump or collect milk. Do you have a working pump? Have you tried hand expressions? Next would be to try latching baby at every feeding but stop and go to the bottle soon as baby starts to fuss. We want baby to get comfortable with the breast. Hold baby skin to skin as much as possible. Here’s a video below for you on latching baby. Let me know if you have questions but please see a local LC right away 🥰 Struggling with Baby's Latch?

Yes! This video will walk you through the steps to increase supply and wean off of formula. Let me ask you some questions too. How much milk are you pumping at a session? Are you offering formula at random times or is it at specific times? And is that because baby seems extra hungry?

God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

I’m sorry about the stress mommy😢. Please know that you are doing a great job no matter how you feed baby. Mom life is a lot to handle. It will get better ❤️‍🩹. Be sure to ask for help when you can. How old is baby? When you pump 1oz each side, is that in place of a feeding? Or is it after/between feeding from the breast?

I was the same too , keep pumping every 2 - 3 hours and for about 20-30 min and 10 min more to let your body know your baby needs more milk , definitely stay hydrateddd 100% a must & eatt dont skip your meals! This has been helping soo much!! I promise youll see a major difference ina week. & i also recommend get a electric handsfree pump🙏✨ Wish you the best!

His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him.

Formula needs to be mix, exactly how to directions say. It can be different for each brand. Is baby latching well at the breast? What things are showing a low supply? If you pump, how much milk do you get out?

@@marycahillclc very little. I went back to the container and I’ve read the instructions. Thank you so much. I’m also giving my baby to suck very often as stated on your other video so I’m seeing some improvement. Thank you.

Hi mommy! How old is baby? Are you feeding from the breast? How much/often is baby getting formula?

I don’t think that doing both breastmilk and formula would cause tummy issues. There are times that either way can cause extra gas. Many babies are just extra gassy no matter what you do. There are some exercises, like “bicycles”, that can help baby to move gas out. -If Mom has a forceful, let down and oversupply, that’s not under control, that breastmilk can cause some extra gas. -If baby isn’t latching well, a bad latch can make baby taken extra air, giving them more gas. -Some babies get gassy from the formula. It can take a while for baby’s body to adjust. If you just started formula, it can take a week for baby to do better with the formula. You can change brands, but then usually give it a week before you switch again unless problems are really bad and or your doctor says to switch. Tell me a little more. Are you using both formula and breastmilk because that’s best for your situation or was there a problem with breast-feeding that made you want to add the formula? How often is baby feeding from the breast? About how often are you pumping every 24 hours? About how much milk are you able to pump at a time? And how much milk are you able to pump every 24 hours? It’s considered “sleeping through the night” when baby sleeps six or more straight hours. It’s normal for babies to not sleep through the night until after six months but some do start earlier. It’s considered sleeping through the night even if baby wakes up to nurse/eat but then goes right back to sleep.😴 ❤️

He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 255 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah.

I was wondering if my baby boy just 3 months now, my wife cannot give him enough breastfeeding, can we give baby combination of formula and breastfeeding 🙏, is it safe for baby🙏

You are doing an excellent job mommy! Just giving partial breastmilk is benefiting baby. If you started to fully formula feeding, the breastmilk that baby has already received, will help their body for the rest of their life. I want to encourage you to breastfeed if that’s working out and if it’s best for you but know that baby loves you no matter how you nourish baby❤️ Do you want to tell me a little more about what’s happening?

And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Please don’t let yourself feel guilty. You are doing an amazing job! ❤️ Do you feed at all from the breast or are you exclusively pumping? Do you know about how many ounces you’re able to pump every 24 hours?

@@marycahillclcthank you for your kind words 🥹. I currently pump most of the time for a week now (since week 6 postpartum). I would say I could pump around 15-20 ml each session.

@@MegKayBeee You can increase your supply but it’s a lot of work and can be stressful at times. If baby were latching at the breast, it would be a little easier because feeding at the breast is the best way to increase your supply. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with beingan exclusive pumper. I’ll link a video here that will give you tips on increasing your supply while pumping. Even though you are not giving baby exclusively breastmilk, the milk that you do give, benefits baby greatly. Those benefits build baby’s body and stays with them for the rest of their lives. I want to totally support you, if you want to maintain where you are or work to increase supply. ❤️ Pumping Moms With Low Milk Supply ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_of4OTnOubc.html

@@marycahillclc thank you so much, Mary! Thank you again for making these videos that are very informative and supportive. Now I have hope again ☺️. Wishing you a lovely weekend!

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 255 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord.

So sorry that things aren’t going smoothly mommy 😢 How have you’ve been doing the last few days? Are you able to see a lactation counselor in your area? It’s important to figure out why breastfeeding is painful. Breastfeeding babies take in less than formula fed babies. When baby is fed breastmilk in a bottle, they usually take it in very quickly. If you can feed baby a little slower with the bottle, they will be able to tell you when they are full. You can do this by stopping several times during a bottle feeding. You can stop to burp baby for just a few seconds through the feeding. When you feed formula, baby will eat less often than they would from the breast. So it’s important to pump at least as often as baby eats. Having baby feed from the breast is the best way to increase supply. You can feed baby from both breasts then give a small amount of formula, then feed on both breasts again. If baby is still hungry, offer more formula. Having baby on and off the breast will help supply. This video will explain that better: Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3DSN2Dwf5M.html

In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

What signs are you seeing that show your supply is low?

Let me ask a few questions first to try to find the problem of latch and tummy issues. Did he not latch well because you have a forceful letdown/over supply? How many ounces of milk are you pumping a day? How many ounces is he taking in each day? If you want to give formula for some feedings, or adding prepared formula to breastmilk that’s usually fine but be sure that the formula is mixed with the proper amount of water before combining it. I’m not sure what this will do to his tummy because I don’t know why he’s having issues. Always check with your doctor if you’re not sure why there’s a tummy issue. ❤️

@@marycahillclc yes I do have an over supply but they mentioned he has some stiffness on his neck and that’s why he had trouble latching on and also doing other things so he’s in pt right now and for his tummy he had projectile vomit so he was in nicu and he had a lot of colic in the beginning and now he’s having constipation problems

@@moniquebojorquez8555 PT is great! That should help with the stiffness. 🥰 Have you been able to get your condition under control? That’s often a major cause of tummy issues and latch problems. I have videos on Forceful letdown/over supply if you’d like to check them out. ❤️

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 255 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord.

Yes! ❤️. When your doctor says it’s ok, start this process in the video that I’ll link here. It’s a way to slowly increase supply and slowly wean off of formula. Keep in mind that baby is getting enough if she always has 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. Babies get fussy (especially in the evening) and that makes mom question supply. Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3DSN2Dwf5M.html

Are you having pain on both breasts during feedings? I’ll attach my video on Latch. If baby’s position is off, it can be so painful. Breastfeeding should not be painful. If you’re still having pain, try to see a local lactation counselor. You can definitely combination feed. However you choose to feed baby is up to you ❤️ Moms often feel like baby isn’t satisfied at the breast but really they’re just fussy. The fussiness is common in the evening. When you top off with formula, baby is over full and just gets extra sleepy. You can’t hurt baby by over feeding, they’ll just poop, pee or puke out the extra but it does make mom believe that baby isn’t getting enough. You can always know that baby is getting enough, if they always have 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours (from 6 days old and older). Struggling with Baby's Latch?

@@tikuma.berenice8240 What signs are you seeing that show you that your milk is flowing to slowly? Is baby getting formula now? Does baby seem satisfied with feeding in the morning but not in the afternoon and evening?

It sounds like you’ve been working really hard at this. You’re doing great mommy! I’ll link a video here for you to check out. It will walk you through, increasing your supply while weaning off of formula. This process will allow baby to tell you when he is needing formula. Keep in mind that babies are fussy in the evening. It can look like low supply, but not really be. Also, as you start to breast-feed more, you may be concerned that baby is not getting enough but remember that baby is getting the right amount as long as you see at least six or more wet diapers every 24 hours❤️ Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3DSN2Dwf5M.html

I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Hi mommy! Every bit of breastmilk is beneficial.❤️ even if it’s a small amount it’s great! Newborn babies often nurse for a long time. Some babies nurse almost non stop. Formula fed babies will eat faster because it comes out of the bottle quickly. They seem to stay full longer but this is because formula digests slower. Breastmilk digests quickly and the nutrients are more completely absorbed. 2 ounces in a pumping session can be normal amount. Those moms who pump a huge amount, have an oversupply. An over supply can cause lots of problems for baby and mom but they don’t mention that part. If you would like to maintain your supply, you’ll need to pump at least as often as she eats. 🥰 How old is your daughter now?

Same here ..and my daughter is 1 week

@@marycahillclc thank you! I met with a lactation consultant and she didn't really tell me if what I'm doing is normal or not. Especially when I wrote this I was pretty worried at the time if I'm doing everything correctly since I'm a Ftm . She's almost 3 months now!

@@PSL_Lover2024 are you feeling comfortable with how things are going now? Is your goal to increase supply to breast-feed more or do you like combination feeding? Either way is fine. I just wanted to know your goals. ❤️

@@marycahillclc combination feeding is fine. I think in the beginning I really didn't realize how long the baby is on the breast for. I would like to increase my supply, I was told I needed to pump more and drink water and eat oats. Is there anything else I should add?

If baby is having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours, then you know she’s getting enough. Is she having problems with your over supply? If you haven’t seen my videos on Forceful letdown/ oversupply, I’ll link them here.❤️ Forceful Letdown / Oversupply ru-vid.com/group/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe

@@marycahillclc ya she gets disappointed and angry for being uncomfortable

@@nighatmalik2348 Check out that link. It will be really helpful. It’s important to keep it in check. It’s something that you’ll always need to keep an eye on because it can get out of hand quickly. Also, keep in mind that you will have it with all of your babies. 🥰

So sorry mommy 🥲😴 Can I ask some questions about your breastfeeding? I may have some ideas for what’s been happening. It may be helpful if you have anymore babies. Did you do any pumping? If so, how much milk did you get at a pumping session in place of a feeding? Have you had clogged ducts or mastitis? If your supply is low, it should be a little easier. At this point, you shouldn’t be getting very engorged, unless you’ve gone way longer between feedings. It’s important to stay comfortable. Pump just a small amount to stay comfortable and not get a clogged duct, leading to mastitis. Pump just 2 or 3 minutes. Then wait about 5 minutes. During that 5 minutes, your breasts should soften and feel totally good. If they don’t, pump again for a few minutes. Apply lots of cold compresses. Apply after pumping and in between. Cold gel packs or just a cold wet washcloth in a baggie. Applying cold cabbage leaves in place of the cold compresses would be even better. Taking ibuprofen helps with the inflammation and pain. Taking Sudafed helps to reduce supply if you are totally done giving baby your milk. Eating and drinking peppermint can help to reduce supply for some moms. DO NOT wear a tight bra to reduce supply. You may see this shared on the Internet, but it’s very bad advice and will cause a clogged duct. Here’s a video on weaning that will go over some of those things in more detail. I’ll try to keep an eye out for your answer the other questions. I know Breastfeeding’s been a struggle, but you have truly done an amazing job! Four months of breastmilk, even if it was partial, gives baby benefits that will last him his whole life. ❤️ Weaning My Breastfed Baby ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AbaFEBkUDjI.html

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 255 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord.

That’s totally fine if you’re wanting to formula feed when you’re working and won’t be pumping at work. It would be good for your supply to do some breastfeeding during the day when you’re home on your days off but you will need to use some formula during those hours. If you are wanting to pump at work to have for baby the next work day, you should either avoid formula or pump at the same time that baby gets formula. Tell me; How old is baby? How many ounces of formula is baby getting a day? And what signs are you seeing that show you that supply is low?

You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Be sure to talk to your doctor about this but in my experience, it’s usually ok for a formula fed baby to poop just 1 times a day after 1 month old. Formula fed babies should not skip a day without pooping. If baby is becoming constipated, their poop would be firm and look like little pellets. A baby who is exclusively breastfed (and over 1 month), can miss several days of not pooping. Some may go up to 2 weeks without out pooping but this is only for baby’s that receive exclusively breastmilk. And again, baby is not constipated unless their poop is firm and pellet like. No matter what baby is eating, if baby seems uncomfortable or you are concerned, see your doctor right away ❤️

Every brand of formula can be different so it’s best to check the container. Always be sure that your water is safe and mix it exactly like the instructions say. Sorry that I’m not more helpful ❤️

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 255 God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you.

For formula feeding, I don’t know what brand would be the best. Check with your doctor to see if they have recommendations. When a baby is exclusively breast-fed, they take an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours, but when is formula fed they do need more because it’s not absorbed quite as well as breastmilk. If baby is gaining weight well, it’s usually best to let baby tell you how much they need. You can do this by watching baby for hunger cues. Some mothers prefer to put baby baby on a feeding schedule but I personally feel that feeding on demand is best. No matter what you feed your baby, you can always know that baby is getting the right amount, if baby is having six or more wet diapers every 24 hours ❤️

Formula is a great alternative to breastmilk. ❤️ Baby loves you no matter how you nourish baby. Did you produce milk in the beginning?

Babies from 1 months to 6 months take in an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours. It stays the same if baby is breastfeeding (exclusively pumping is still breastfeeding. In fact it’s more work so you get extra gold starts! ⭐️ ❤️). Formula fed babies take in more as they age because it doesn’t completely digest so they need more ounces to get the same nutrients. It sounds like your supply is just about perfect but this video will help you to keep it that way. It’s very important to do lots of breast massage before pumping. And it’s important to stay consistent with times that you pump. It doesn’t have to be exact but close. Keep power pumping time constant too. If you power pump in the morning, do that every day. ❤️ Pumping Moms With Low Milk Supply ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_of4OTnOubc.html

Hi mommy! That’s not very common to have lower supply in the morning. That’s when our body makes the most milk. I would suggest meeting with a local lactation counselor if possible. 🥰 I’m not sure what the best formula would be. It does take baby 1 to 2 weeks for baby to adjust to a different formula. When baby is struggling with reflux, you might have to talk to your doctor about what one they think you should try.

To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

How old is he? When babies won’t take breastmilk with high Lipase in it, moms sometimes add a drop of vanilla. You could try that. Or experiment with warm milk/formula versus cold. He might like a different brand of formula but they all taste about the same. Let me know if you find a good trick. ❤️

@@marycahillclc he’s 8 months old. He takes breast milk absolutely fine. It’s just trying to move onto formula. We’ve switched to another brand and he’s still refusing it. Will try different temperatures! Thank you.

@@terriwalcott I wish I could help more. Good luck! ❤️

So true! You’re a great mom and you want baby to have the best. You are the best mom! ❤️ Would you like to go over your challenges? It sounds like you’ve try everything. Can I ask; was your supply low right from the beginning?

@@marycahillclc thanks for the kind reply! yes, my supply is low from the beginning.. when i did felt fullness in my breast, then I pump, it never exceed 50ml, and even that just happened once. usually its more around 20-30ml. now my baby refuse the current formula and prefer DBF to me, but due to my lack of supply, I’m super worried about her weight..

@@manafitv7229 Baby’s weight should be monitored and baby should always have 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. A few more questions; Do you have low glandular tissue (A cup bra or less)?. PCOS? Thyroid issues ? Is one breast noticeably smaller than the other? Taking allergy medication? Taking estrogen?

@@marycahillclc baby’s weight is gaining but not enough since the first month. she only gained 1.5 kilos up until now she’s 2.5 mo. Yes, I do have less than A breast cup size before, but I was told that supposedly not an issue..? No to PCOS, different breast size, allergies, and estrogen. Don’t know about my thyroid though, I never got it checked bcs I don’t feel any enlargements of it or any weight problem before pregnancy..

@@manafitv7229 It is “usually” true that breast size doesn’t matter but occasionally, a mom with very little or no glandular tissue, can not produce. Mom may have to use SNS to breastfeed at all. I just try to find the possible reason why a mom has some difficulty but again, baby loves you just the same and you can still, very much “bond” with baby, while bottle feeding ❤️

@@iqragaal1253 Moms start to feel like their supply isn’t enough but it almost always is enough. If baby is always having 6 or more wet diapers every day, then you definitely know they are getting enough. After a few weeks, our breasts start to feel flat and empty. This can make us think our milk is gone but this is exactly how they are supposed to be. Milk isn’t stored in our breast, it’s made while nursing or pumping. Also, baby may have times of being upset because they are overly tired or uncomfortable because it hurts to grow so quickly. That may seem like baby is still hungry but they probably aren’t. It’s good to let baby stay at the breast as long as they want but if they refuse to, just know that it’s probably not a hunger problem. This fussy time is usually in the afternoon and evening but in the morning they seem satisfied. Does that sound like that’s what’s causing you to question your supply? Or is there something else that’s causing concern? ❤️

@@marycahillclcI needed this comment thank you I just had that feeling that my breast is flat I thought to my self that my milk is not enough for my baby that’s all and people tried to advise me to give formula milk but I don’t plan to do that at the moment but am grateful for the reply thank u 😊

@@beeee4249 How old is baby? Has this always been a problem from birth? Are you pumping? If so, will he take pumped breastmilk?

Yes you can but formula feeding will reduce supply. Sometimes formula is necessary (we definitely want baby to have enough) or best for mom but if you’d like to increase supply, baby should be at the breast as long and as often as possible. To keep supply up, you’ll need to be pumping when baby gets formula. If something goes into baby, something should come out of you. Tell me more about what has been erratic about breastfeeding? How many wet diapers is baby having a day now? Is baby pooping often? What color is baby’s poop now?

Hi mommy! Are you exclusively pumping? How much milk are you pumping on average every 24 hours? How much is baby taking in every 24 hours?

Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth.

God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so.

Is this your 1st baby? I would focus on getting breastfeeding established in the first week, then start pumping after feedings. Exclusively breastfed babies from 1 months to 6 months old, take is an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours. A new born will take in less. In your situation, i would introduce a bottle at around 1 week. (Normally, I would recommend introducing a bottle at around 1 month). A big concern is that you keep pumping on that day. Especially since you’ve been doing extra pumping. Skipping pumpings, can cause clogged ducts and loss of supply. It’s ok if you won’t be able to store it during that day (but hopefully you can). Even just pumping and throwing it away, keeps clogged ducts away and supply up. I know that you might not want too but in your situation, this might be stressful. It’s ok if baby needs a bottle or two of formula that day. You should be able to pump enough (20 to 24 ounces) but it’s ok if not. ❤️

@@marycahillclc yes its my first baby, thank you so much for this thorough response you're such a great help and support here on YT we really appreciate you. I'll maybe have formula ready as a little backup and yes I got the momcozy I think the s9 model to pump on that day, its the wearable one. I will be doing my medical exam for an immigration visa and they dont allow me to take my baby with unfortunately, but they said I can pump. Ill definitely pump and dump maybe save up a little but for the most part I think I wont have time to pump, pour, write down times and store etc. Its going to definitely be a challenge but this momma is determined to make this work. Thank you again for the advice ❤️

@@zarikepunzulis4238 I LOVE your positive attitude! You go mommy! Wearable pumps can have their own challenges. They can be hard to line up with your nipples but you will get some practice time in before hand. I don’t usually recommend wearables pumps for most moms for long term use. Short term use is usually great. If you struggle at all with it, take along an inexpensive manual pump as an emergency backup.❤️ *Hands free pumps usually work well for moms with a forceful letdown/over supply.

Babies often just need to suckle at the breast. It’s soothing for them. Baby should be feeding on both breast each feeding when possible. You would do this by having baby feet on one side for as long as possible but then when babies is falling asleep or seems done switch to the second side. Baby nurses on that side and still seems hungry then switch back again to the first side. Newborn babies sometimes eat nonstop. Breastfeeding babies taking in a small amount at a time but are hungry more often. We do want to be sure that baby is getting enough though. When you are breastfeeding, it’s hard to know how much baby is taking in but if baby is always having six or more wet diapers, every 24 hours you know they’re getting enough. It would also be a good idea to monitor baby’s weight and even do weighted feeds. A lactation counselor could help you to weigh baby before and after feeding. How is babies weight gain?

Have you used freezer stash milk or just freshly pumped milk for him? How many ounces is he taking in every 24 hours? How many ounces are you able to pump every 24 hours?

God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 233 Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Does your milk come out forcefully? Sometimes moms have a condition of Forceful letdown/over supply. This usually starts being a problem after about 1 week. You can change positions. Maybe an upright or laid back position. Be sure that the latch is deep enough.

I’ll attach a video here for you. ❤️ How Do I Nurse My Baby Without Pain? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X9MmYwf1Vu0.html

How old is she now? 8 to 12 minutes each side can be good if baby is transferring milk well. Are you nursing on both breasts each feeding? It should be; one breast for as long as possible, then switch to the 2nd side. She may only be on the 2nd side a few seconds but sometimes she may stay for several minutes. Tell me more about how she had problems keeping weight up? Was that after 1 week? Do you know her weight percentile (or weight) at one week, two weeks… I’m so sorry that the LC wasn’t more helpful. I would definitely try a different one.

God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God.

Is that 2 ounces at each afternoon pumping, or is it a total a 2 ounce the rest of the day? Is baby feeding from the breast, then fed pumped milk and formula each feeding? ❤️

It is more like up to 1 oz (20 ml most of the cases) after each pumping - I try to pump every time she gets a bottle. only if baby did not breastfeed very well or at all because she was very sleepy and breasts were still quite full after a nap during the day that I get a bit more like 40 to 50 ml. Yes, she is getting breast first until she does not drink anymore, then I top up with a mix of pumped milk and formula. I don't mind giving the pumped milk with a bottle, but I was trying to reduce the formula. We managed reducing formula from 400-450ml a day to 250-300ml, but then yesterday and today she suddenly needs more formula again - up to 400 ml - although she is breastfeeding now better than before when she wouldn't latch well, stay long at the breast or sleep very deep. After so much effort having it suddenly reversed is quite frustrating and weaning off from formula looks now impossible really 😢

@@dindincatalao Your situation is why many moms stop breastfeeding. Good news!….it’s not bad at all, it’s very normal. If your supply is low, it’s only a tiny bit and it will be back up in a few days. I’ll explain 😃 there’s a few things going on. -The amount that you are pumping is very close to normal. A breastfeeding baby eats an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours. This amount is from 1 month to 6 months old. It really doesn’t change much. It stays close to that every day. Formula fed babies need more formula as time goes on but not breastfed babies. This is because baby’s body completely utilizes the breastmilk. With formula there is more waste because they can’t absorb it as well so they need more. - After about 1 months, our breasts start to feel flat and empty. This is how they are supposed to feel but just occasionally feel “full”. That full feeling is engorgement which is inflammation. Very little milk is stored in our breasts, it’s made while we nurse or pump. - When baby gets formula they stay full longer because they don’t digest it as fast as breastmilk. So, to keep supply up, you should be pumping at least as often as baby eats because it will be longer before baby eats again. This isn’t because formula is bad. It’s a great alternative to breastmilk but it’s important to understand how different it is, so that you can maintain supply or even increase it. - Breastfed babies usually eat more often but smaller amounts each feeding. Because of this, babies wake more often to nurse. That can definitely seem like they’re not getting satisfied but that’s not usually the case. As baby gets older, they will eat less often because they are better at transferring the breastmilk at each feeding. -when babies eat from a bottle, they tend to eat more because they don’t stop when they’re full. The milk comes out of the bottle so quickly that they take in more than they need or even would want from the breast. “Pace feeding” from the bottle will help with this. I have a video on this. -Babies cry for other reasons than hunger. They may be overly tired, gassy, need to burp or going through a growth spurt. A growth spurt doesn’t mean they need more. It’s just because it hurts to grow so fast, so they usually stay at the breast more for comfort and for a little bit of higher fat milk. Comfort baby with walking or holding baby on their tummy across your arm. They may suckle at the breast while they fall asleep. -It’s easy to believe that baby isn’t getting enough but you’ll know that they are, if you always see 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours from 6 days old and older. Does that all sound like it could be some of your situation? Let me know ❤️. I’ll link some other videos here too.

Yes, most moms can still breastfeed after reduction surgery. Did your doctor mention if you might have problems? There are different techniques that are used for the procedure. Some do reduce your chances of fully breastfeeding. Are you seeing any drops of colostrum? (If you’re not, that doesn’t mean that you won’t later). Have you seen changes in your breasts in these last weeks? It’s a great idea to meet with a lactation counselor in your area now. They can talk with you about it and you’ll already be established with them if you have any problems. ❤️

Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 11 Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion.

It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir.

If that’s what would work best for you, that’s totally great. 😃 Just know that your breastfeeding on your days off (during the hours that you normally work) will usually start to go down after a while. You may need to pump a little extra on your days off but having baby on the breast as long as possible is the best for supply. If you’d like, or are able to pump at work, you would need to pump as often and at around the same time as baby eats. I don’t recommend that moms use a freezer stash while at work (if they’re want to exclusively breastfeed) because that would lower supply but if pumping at work isn’t a good option for you, then formula is a great alternative. Please don’t ever feel guilty when you’re giving formula. Even partially feeding breastmilk gives baby those amazing benefits that last forever ❤️

@@piep.llorente2498 How old is baby? it’s not ever a good idea to add cereal to a bottle. (Was that what you were saying?). Most doctors (and the American Academy of Pediatrics) don’t recommend solids until baby is showing all of the signs that they are ready. Cereal is considered solid food and should just be offered as small tastes before 1 year. Before 1 year, breastmilk or formula should be baby’s main source of nutrition. They can’t fully digest solids before then. This can lead to lower nutrients for baby. It used to be common to start cereals early but now we know that it’s not great. Many moms skip cereals and just start with fruits and vegetables but you should discuss it with your doctor. Sorry, I didn’t really answer your question very well ❤️

@@marycahillclc my baby is almost 6 months and yes, he is showing all the signs. I was afraid to start earlier than 6 months, until I asked the pedia and told me i should have started sooner. It confuses me! my baby is gaining weight but slow maybe because he doesn't drink enough due to reflux. He is 6.6kilos and 5.5 months. So i'm now starting food with him (vegies and fruits) it's been 3 days. The cereals is one of my concern because most moms here in my country do mix it with the bottle.

@@piep.llorente2498 it sounds like you’re doing great! Some doctors in the US push for solids earlier but most wait a bit longer now. Adding cereal is ok and won’t harm him but I personally think that there are more nutritious things to give. I would maybe just give a small amount of cereal and try to give more fruits and vegetables. Fats are very important for brain development at this age. Breastmilk and formula provide healthy fats. ❤️

Sleeping through the night doesn’t usually happen until after 6 months old. Sleeping 6 straight hours is considered sleeping through the night. You can offer the breast more often in the evening (every hour) for a few hours before you go to bed. This frequent feeding gives baby slightly more fat. That extra fat can help baby sleep a little longer. Be sure to mix the formula with the correct amount of water before combining with breastmilk. Most babies do just fine when taking formula but you might start slow for babies tummy to adjust. Remember that if you want to keep your supply up, be sure to pump at around the same time that baby receives a bottle. This is if baby is getting previously pumped milk or formula ❤️

Tell me a little more about what’s going on. Are you feeding from the breast (how often)? Do you pump (how often)? Are you feeding baby formula (how much and how often)?

Some moms give formula and breastfeed or pump breastmilk so that baby only receives breastmilk. Whatever you prefer and what works best for you. If you pump at work, baby will get that milk the next day. To keep your supply up, you’ll need to pump as often as baby eats. If baby hasn’t had a bottle yet, start giving a bottle once a day for baby to get used to it. ❤️

Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures.

It’s important to get baby up to 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. You may need to addd some formula or more pumped milk for a while. Check in with your doctor to see if baby’s weight is doing well. It sounds like baby in just not on the same schedule that you are on. I know that’s really hard. It will take a week or more to get that changed. To do that, you’ll need to get baby awake and eating more in the day. You can’t expect baby to be awake all day right away. So start with waking baby up a little earlier in the morning and in the evening. When that gets better, start a little more in the mid day. At 3 weeks baby will still sleep a lot but hopefully more at night. When baby is having a growing pains or over stimulated in the late evening. Getting baby awake can be hard. I’ll link my video on that here. You will need to undress baby before and during a feeding. Your supply will be more in the morning so baby may go back to sleep for a long nap in the morning and that’s ok. Feedings at night have less milk but the milk has slightly more fat. So you’ll need to wake baby often for feedings in the last few hours before you want to go to bed. That extra fat helps baby sleep a longer stretch. To increase supply: let baby be on the breast as much as possible. Even if baby seems to just be using you as a pacifier. The more stimulation on your nipple and the more time that baby is skin to skin with you, the more milk. After nursing, massage our breasts for 5 minutes then pump for 10 to 15 min. Then massage again and pump for 10 to 15 more minutes. Applying heat and trying to relax during the pumping will help. You will see much more milk in the morning than at night. That is very normal. Also, if your pump flange size is wrong, that will decrease the amount of milk you are getting. Your flange is measured by your nipple width. Your nipple should move in and out of the flange, just barely touching the sides. Your areola should not be pulled into the flange tunnel. It takes 3 to 5 days to start to see an increase in supply so be consistent and patient. ❤️. I know that was a lot of information, I hope it helps. How much milk are you able to pump at a time and how much total are you pumping each day? Also, has your bleeding been extremely heavy and has it stopped now?

@@marycahillclc thank you very much, i will practise all these. My blood flow is very normal. I pump at times 4- 5 Oz but when low i pump like 30mls

@@marycahillclc my blood flow has not stopped but is not much ,looks like it is stopping

@@marycahillclc birth weight was 2.8kg but now 2.95kg

@@MyOsheen you are sometimes pumping 4 to 5 ounces at a time or per day?

You’re doing a great job mommy! Please don’t feel guilty 🥰 Do you know what babies lowest weight was? There’s usually a drop on day two or three. How many wet diapers is baby having every 24 hours?

This is actually very common and normal. Some breastfed babies will go a little longer between but most will feed almost nonstop in the first few weeks. A formula fed baby goes longer between feedings because formula doesn’t digest as quickly or completely. There’s nothing wrong with formula, but it’s important to understand that it’s different. Most breastfed babies nurse less often in the first part of the day. Some of these babies will only eat every 2 to 3 (or even 4) hours in the first 10 to 12 hours of the day. So, it would be normal if your baby did longer stretches from 2 AM to about 2 PM. And then after that, baby may want to nurse almost nonstop. Baby eating nonstop in the afternoon and evening is called cluster feeding. This happens for a couple of reasons. During this time of day, baby is usually overstimulated or overly tired or hurting and uncomfortable because it hurts to grow so quickly. Another part of this is that we have less milk during that time of day so baby takes a small amount more often. At that time of when our supply is slightly lower it has higher fat content, which is very important for baby for their overall health and brain development. Sometimes it helps moms just to know that this is very normal for breastfed babies, but it’s OK if this is just not something that’s good for your mental health. If baby is taking formula at any feeding during the day and you wish to keep your supply up, you need to be pumping every time baby gets that formula. For some moms, it can help just to know that this is normal but for others it’s still just too much of a strain. If you keep your supply up, you may decide to go back to fully feeding from the breast or you may continue to combination feed. Either way is ok Feeding from both breasts at every nursing session is best at this point. That means to feed from one breast for as long as possible, then switch to the second side. Some babies will continue on that second side for several more minutes and others may just stay for a couple of seconds and be done . The moms who should not be feeding from both breast our mom’s that have a forceful letdown/over supply. Do you believe that you mayhave forceful letdown / over supply? If so, that will change things and I’ll give you some different direction.

@marycahillclc yes I think I have a forceful letdown and oversupply because when she nurses sometimes she gags which I'm afraid of. So I been giving her breast milk in a bottle as well to help with that. I'm just confused on what is the best direction for me and baby, but I'm comfortable with adding formula

@@anshewilkins i’m so glad that you’re comfortable with adding formula. Adding formula can help to get your oversupply under control. It’s very important to understand your condition before problems arise. When you have this condition, you will have it with every baby, but every baby will handle it differently. Here is my three part playlist on forceful letdown/over supply. The rules and guidelines for breastfeeding will always be very different for you. It’s good to check out the information before you have a problem and if there’s an issue, you can go back and rewatch. Let me know if you have any questions. ❤️ Forceful Letdown and Oversupply ru-vid.com/group/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe

@marycahillclc thank you so much Mary! This was so helpful!! I've been debating back n forth on combo feeding because I couldn't find anyone to get advice from although I have been doing my research. I don't have any lactation consultants in my area unfortunately :( so it's been hard. I just want to make sure my baby is full and able to sleep without her sleep disrupted due to hunger and she gets really really fussy when she's hungry.

I just watched the FL/OS video and I meet all criteria for it! Wow! I knew I had both but the video just confirmed it further. Because of my fl/os my daughter gags, chokes and cries (not every nursing session) but it's common. I need to start exclusively pumping going forward which I have been pumping and have over 20 bags of frozen milk already stored

It sounds like you’ve been working very hard at this. Let me ask you some questions. The most you’ve ever made was 7 ounces? Is that in a day or at 1 pumping session? How many ounces are you getting every 24 hours? How many ounces of breastmilk is baby taking per 24 hours and how many ounces of formula per 24 hours?

@@marycahillclc Hi I’m 3 weeks postpartum today. I’ve been pumping more often but definitely not as much as you’ve mentioned in the video. Currently I’m getting about 2 OZ every 2-3 hours. I’m pumping half of what the baby eats in 24 hours. Is it too late to build my supply more now that it’s been 3 weeks?

@@HeyShimolee Are you an exclusive pumper or do you feed from the breast at times? About how many ounces are you pumping every 24 hours? If you had a supply in the beginning, you can definitely get back there. 2 ounces every 2 to 3 hours is low but not a huge amount.

@@marycahillclc thank you for getting back to me. I’m an exclusive pumper and we also give the baby formula since my supply isn’t enough to fill him up. My supply wasn’t the best from the beginning. I used to get about 1oz with every session in the past and now I’ve built it up to 2. In the last 24 hours, I’ve pumped 13oz and the baby has had 24oz of total feed. So I’m quite behind.

@@HeyShimolee You’re right, that’s about half but you’re doing awesome to have increased supply to 2 ounces a pumping now👍❤️ You should be able to increase it more. Do you know why your supply was low to start? Were you late in starting to pump after birth? Why do you believe your supply had a slow start? Did you feel like your supply “came in” noticeably? Did you ever have some engorgement? Being an exclusive pumper is a lot of work. I say that exclusive pumpers should get extra gold ⭐️ stars ⭐️ because you work extra hard. If your supply doesn’t get to a full amount, you are still providing a lot of breastmilk. Every drop that baby gets, benefits baby for the rest of their lives. To increase supply; pump at least every 2 to 3 hours. Take a 4 hour break at night if possible. The goal is to get to 24 hours every 24 hours. At watch pumping session, apply some heat for about 10 minutes and then spend 10 minutes massaging your whole breast to add stimulation that the pump can’t really add. Remember that baby loves you no matter how you nourish them. Don’t let it stress you out but if this is your goal and you’re determined to get there, you can. Are you most comfortable being a pumping mom and have you wanted to feed from the breast if possible? I only ask because it can be a bit easier if baby latches but whatever is best for you is best for your family ❤️

You definitely can go longer stretches but your supply will go down. In these first few weeks, you are establishing your supply. It will be more work later to try to increase supply. To maintain supply, you must pump at least 8 (to 12) times every 24 hours. You can do a longer stretch in the night. It’s totally up to you if you’d like to partially breastfeed, fully breastfed or fully formula feed. There is nothing wrong with any of those choices. Only you can decide what’s best for you, your baby and your mental health. If you want to continue pumping, maybe you could ask a friend or partner to help out more. Is it a personal preference to not feed from the breast or was baby not latching well? The “easiest” way is to feed from the breast and not pump in these first few weeks. I say “easiest” but it’s still a lot of time and work. You’ll still need some support from others because most breastfeeding newborns, nurse almost nonstop but you wouldn’t be attached to a pump, have to worry about storing the milk and washing bottles. As far as feeding breastmilk and formula, I prefer to have moms feed breastmilk first without mixing then offer formula after breastmilk is gone. Doing this, gives baby the freshest breastmilk, with the most nutrients and immunological properties. By giving the formula separate, if baby doesn’t finish the bottle you aren’t wasting breastmilk. You’re only wasting formula. Even if you decided to go exclusively feeding formula or a combination of feeding for the time being, baby is getting benefits of your breastmilk that will stay with their body for their whole lives. I want to support you no matter what your choice is. You are doing a great job mommy!❤️

@@marycahillclc thank you so so much!! i was EBF but when we came home from the hospital, i got super swollen and engorged, to where my anatomy was too flat for him to latch onto!😭 Because of this i started pumping because i wanted to make sure he was getting fed and also with his improper latching at that time o started to have cracking and bleeding. I was ready to give up but today he actually latched appropriately for a full session! hopefully this can continue and my swelling continues to go down!

@@moonsugar_xo That’s awesome! Reach out to me or your local lactation counselor if Pain continues. Also, apply cold compresses after nursing or pumping. When you are engorged may feel good, but it will actually increase the engorgement /inflammation. If he does have a problem with latching because you are engorged, you can apply heat for just a couple of minutes before latching. This short amount of heat will soften the breast and make it easier for him to get a deep latch . Engorgement should start to be much less in the next few days. ❤️

@@marycahillclc thanks again so much!! and just to confirm, what increases the engorgement/inflammation? there may have been a typo! thank you for all of the tips❤️

@@moonsugar_xo Oh sorry. Regularly applying heat will increase engorgement. It will feel like it decreases engorgement at the the time but in a few hours, it will be worse. Also, over pumping in the first few weeks will increase engorgement. If baby is latching well, only pump a small amount if you are feeling overly engorged. You can pump a small amount if you are needing to give baby extra milk. Just keep the pumping to a minimum right now. Applying cold or cool compress after nursing or pumping, will help to decrease the engorgement.

If possible, I recommend that baby be exclusively breastfed until breastfeeding is well established (4 to 6 weeks) This is for baby to be great at breastfeeding but also to be sure that mom’s supply is well established too. After that time, most babies will go between breast and bottle without much of a problem. Some moms who have large breasts and their nipples are a bit flat, may have to “sandwich” their breast for baby. This is holding your breast with your fingers outside of the areola, pushing in towards the chest wall to pop the nipple out more for baby. As far as baby’s position, I recommend starting with a cross cradle position but if baby isn’t latching well, I’d go with an up right position (koala hold). How old is your baby?

Yes you can increase supply and get to exclusively breastfeeding. Here’s a video link that will help to walk you through the process. I know that sounds scary but you will be letting baby, slowly tell you when they need less formula ❤️ Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3DSN2Dwf5M.html

That’s great that you’re doing both. It’s important for mental health that we do what’s right for us. If feeding both is the way you would like to continue, just be sure to follow the suggestions in the video to maintain supply. Let me know if you would like to talk about supply issues. You got this Mommy! ❤️

I have a few videos on increasing supply. I’ll link one here but tell me a little more about what’s going on so that I can better help you. How old is baby? What signs are showing you that supply is low?Do you pump and feed from the breast? Give me lots of details. ALWAYS do THIS to make enough milk! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sbUAfL-iO6o.html

Sorry to question you but are you sure it’s diarrhea? Breastfed babies should have very soft stool that look like diarrhea. Formula fed babies will have slightly firmer poops. Are you feeding from the breast? How much formula is she getting now? How is it mixed and fed to her? (If you use powdered formula, do you mix it with the appropriate amount of water or right into breast milk?) How many wet diapers is she having every day? What color is her poop?

@marycahillclc how can I explain the consistency... but will the newborn poops this many times..right now, i m giving ready to give formula.(not powdered).and that even just once a day (max 30-40 mls/day)..I prefer to give breastmilk than formula, i believe I have sufficient supply of breastmilk for my baby...I m getting a min of 10 wet diapers per day ..the poop looks like Mustard yellow colour

@@akhilaraj3946 Do you possibly have a forceful letdown/over supply? Does her poop look goopy or gelatinous?

@@marycahillclc I am feeding her every 2-3 hrs becz of low birth weight

@@akhilaraj3946 are most of the feedings, directly from the breast?

At around this age, babies have a big growth spurt where they may seem extremely uncomfortable. They don’t need or want more to eat but it hurts to grow so quickly. But if that fussiness was just after the formula feeding and hasn’t continued since, then it would be because babies tummy was upset. This could be from the formula itself. Baby may need time to adjust to formula. This can also be because baby took in too large of an amount at once. Milk flows from the bottle very quickly. They are often full before they realize it. You can fix that by just giving baby a small amount of the formula, then take it away for a few minutes while you play with baby or change diaper. Then give the bottle back again, you can stop several times during the feeding. If baby gets upset, give the bottle right back, but if they’re not upset, pause for a few minutes. When baby is truly full, they won’t take anymore in. ❤️

@@marycahillclc thanks for your reply is it fine that i should continue giving formula milk once only at night still if his getting uncomfortable? Like it was before. And can you please tell me if i give him formula milk once at night after changing his diaper will this effect whole day wee or just the night time wee? I mean how many diaper should he wet whole day?

@@nusratshah7676 Baby should still have 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. I would personally be comfortable still giving formula but I would give it in those small drinks through a feeding. That may help if it was just that baby took in too much I’m not a doctor so it’s always good to talk to your doctor about it. ❤️

We all have less milk in the evening but that milk has slightly more fat. This is the way we are designed. Baby will eat more often in the evening. Sometimes it’s almost non stop in the evening. But that’s very normal. Babies are also fussier in the evening, making us think our supply is low. Watch this video and let me know if that helps Low milk supply in the afternoon and evening. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p0gKR_lXZ9o.html

It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir.

And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do. 22 Do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what is already past. That is improper, indecent, and a bad custom. 23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

How old is baby? Are you supplementing with formula? If so, how much? Was baby satisfied in the beginning?

Formula is a great alternative to breastmilk. It’s most important for baby to just receive nourishment. Breastmilk is best when possible but formula is definitely fine. If you can give partial breastmilk that has amazing extra benefit for baby but baby will still be healthy on formula. Have you been fully breastfed until now? How many wet diapers does baby have every 24 hours? How is baby’s weight gain? At around this age, babies will start to cluster feed. This is where baby seems to always be hungry and want to nurse nonstop. Cluster feeding usually happens in the afternoon and evening. Baby may be very fussy during this time and not seem satisfied at the breast. If baby seems satisfied in the first part of the day but not satisfied in the evening, then baby is probably cluster feeding. If baby is always having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours then you know they’re getting enough. Cluster feeding can last for a few days or a few weeks. It will get better but then it can start again. In the evening, babies are overly tired and not feeling well. It hurts to grow so quickly. I know that it’s frustrating but if you can let baby be on the breast as much as possible, that’s best for baby and for your milk supply. ❤️

No, I wouldn’t recommend that at all. Baby at the breast is the absolute best and easiest way to increase supply. A pump can’t do what baby does. -Baby can usually transfer more milk out of the breast than a pump. This sounds your body to make more milk. -Baby’s mouth moves differently than a pump. It tells your body to make more milk. - having baby against your skin, eases oxytocin in your body, telling your body to have a letdown and to make more milk. -Baby’s saliva on your breast is actually absorbed into your skin, telling your body to make more breastmilk. Can you tell me why you’re needing to do a pumping schedule?

@marycahillclc Thanks for responding! Much appreciated! Im trying to create a pupmping schedule because I'm going back to work and need to create a milk stash so that my baby will have breast milk available to her while I'm at work.

@@redcarpetfly a small emergency freezer stash is great but a stash should usually only be for emergency use only. It’s a good idea to have this stash in case you had to be away from baby because of an emergency or you had to be on medication that wasn’t compatible withBreastfeeding. Moms that make a freezer stash and use it on a regular basis while they’re away at work, end up losing supply. To be able to keep your supply up, you must be pumping at around the same times as baby is eating. When you pump at work, baby then gets the milk the very next day that you work. This gives baby the freshest milk possible and keeps your supply up where it needs to be. Sometimes moms aren’t able to pump at work or it’s a choice to not pump at work. If this is the case, then it would be a good idea to build as much of a stash as you can but I would still feed from the breast as much as possible. Just know that after a while, your milk supply will drop and you will not be able to produce as much during your days off. You can still nurse morning and night if you stay consistent with that nursing and do a little extra pumping after some feedings. This video will explain how to build a stash if needed.

@@marycahillclc Thank you! This was really helpful 😊

@@redcarpetfly I’m so glad that it helped. ❤️

Is baby breastfeeding some or exclusively formula fed? Baby’s weight doesn’t usually affect the amount they eat. If baby was fed breastmilk, it would be an average of 24 ounces every 24 hours but if baby is exclusively formula fed, they will usually need more. Let baby tell you when they are full. If baby seems to be taking in a lot, take several breaks of about 30 seconds to a minute, during a feeding. You can burp, change or play with baby. If baby fusses when you take it away, give it right back. You can always know that baby is getting enough, if you always see 6 or more wet diapers every day. ❤️

Do you feed from the breast or are you exclusively pumping and feeding breastmilk in a bottle? Do you feed formula too? Just to be sure that I understand. Are you only able to pump 2.5 or 3 ounces or is that all that baby will take? About how many wet diapers is baby having every 24 hours?
