yung pedia ko now (i switched na to someone na nagsusupport sa bf!!) sabi okay lang kasi masmaganda nga kasi yung body daw natin mommies kapag may sakit nagpproduce ng antibodies against lagnat/ubo/sipon so nabibigay natin to kay baby at masnagiging healthy sya. i believe her naman pero syempre sana di naman ako magkaubo sipon or lagnat.

[m@m@]

thats what our pedia says din.. tinawagan ko na para sure basta hindi nakakahawa sakit mo (STD, Hepa, etc) ok lang mag breastfeed

yes, hindi bawal kapag may sakit si mommy. other moms just put masks para maiwasan mahawa si baby. but you know what, before you see those symptoms of the disease, may sakit ka na. and more often than not, na-expose mo na rin yun kay baby. just continue on breastfeeding baby para makuha niya yung antibodies. most of the time, lahat ng tao sa bahay namin may sakit - except for my baby. i never stopped nursing him. you just have to regain your health back kasi ang downside ng pagkakasakit ni mommy is lower milk production. but the milk quality will always be the same.

I wasn't able to breastfeed my son but it was not my choice.  In fact I only bought 3 small feeding bottles kase I really planned on breastfeeding. Unfortunately, hindi maka latch on ang baby ko kase maliit ang nips ko (not inverted but small) I really tried! I almost always cried because of frustration kaso di ko talaga matiis na hindi i-bottle feed pag sobrang iyak na niya sa gutom! What I did, i pumped na lang and gave him by bots, kaso dahil nga di naman nasa-suck, ambilis nawalan ng milk!   

As to my son's growth and development, His weight & height are okay. His skin is clear. He's very good in receptive language although di pa sa expressive language, but he's just 1yr5mos so that's still acceptable. He seldom has colds & cough but last month he got hoospitalized because of pneumonia, his specialist told me na nagka-asthma attack sya kaya na worsen ang condition niya (he got it from me, I really don't have asthma kaso I also had an asthma attack when I was pregnant) He's very active, and receptive, quite malambing too. 

So all in all, I think my son's healthy but I know he would have been healthier had I been able to breastfeod him. But since I was not able to, I will just have to make up for it though my TLC.

ako rin hindi kapag pabreast feed. mas nauna kasing lumabas si baby ko
kesa sa milk ko sa breast.
saka naiyak agad baby ko pag di marami yung nadedede niya.
kaya nag papump nalang ako. kaso may time na masakit din.
kaya nag decide nalang ako na sa bote nalang sya padedehin.

sa development naman ng baby ko di naman sakitin (salamat kay Lord!)
bibo pa nga sabi ng mga relatives ko. (namamana ata un hehe..)

ako sis hindi nakapagbreastfeed sa anak ko,why?kasi kalahating buwan siya sa NICU bawal ko syang buhatin,pero napakadami kong naidonate sa milk bank,as in super dami..kasi malaki ang dibdib ko at sobrang dami ng milk,nagchichill pa ako minsan dahil hindi ko nailalabas ibang milk ko.marami din akong moomy na natulungan na hindi pa nagkakamilk pagkalabas ng baby nila..nagpapump ako ng milk....as in maraming babies ang nakinabang sa milk ko,but sad to say hindi ang anak ko...2nd after nung makauwi kami nagtataka ako kasi hindi talaga siya nakakadede sa akin,yun pala malalim ang ngala-ngala niya,so hindi talaga siya makakasuck..kaya pump pa din ako..kaya lang neeed talaga na masipsip siya para tuloy yung flow,eh ayaw naman ng asawa ko kasi malansa daw..paiyakan pa kami bago ako napapayag na magbottlle feed sya at milk..ang mahal pa naman ng nan-1..susme,dami kong milk tapos yun dede niya.ginagawa ko namang salitan.sobrang guilty talaga ako nun..ang anak ko ay special (moebius syndrome) hindi lang sila nakakasmile pero normal naman yung utak nila...

prone sa sakit daw ang hindi breastfeed kasi nga mas maraming nutrients ang breastmilk and mataas ang chance na magkasakit like diarrhea kasi the feeding bottle and the water might not be well sterilized..

hindi naman ako breastfeed ng mom ko kasi daw parang di kami nabubusog sa milk niya. pero hindi naman ako sakitin at lalong hindi ako mahina sa school. si ate ko noong bata pa eh medyo sakitin pero mas lalong hindi sya mahina sa school. pov ko lang intelligence is in the genes.

based on these, i can conclude that a baby who is not breastfed is more prone to illness.

hindi ako nakapag-breastfed sa baby ko because of my small nipples, at the same time, ayaw talaga ng baby ko kahit gutom na gutom na sya. what i did is ni-pump ko talaga sya kahit masakit. everytime na mag-pump ako umiiyak talaga ako, naawa na nga husband ko saken, pero sa super like kong mabreastfeed ang baby ko tiniis ko talaga yung saket. naka-1 month din akong nag-pump, as in religiously pump talaga kase nga i believe na mas healthy ang baby pag breastfed. kaya lang naubos sya hanggang sa wala na akong mapump kaya nag-formula milk na si baby ko. pero buti na lang, hindi sakitin ang baby ko, mag-1 year na sya next month, ubo at sipon lang sya halos twice pa lang ata at hindi nag-diarrhea eversince.

hindi ako nakapag breastfeed kasi small and nipples ko at sobrang hina talaga ng gatas ko.  I bought only 1 small feeding bottle (2oz) kasi gusto ko talaga breastfeed kaso kunting kunti lang talaga yung lumalabas.  Kahit mag pump ako tulo lang ang labas ng gatas ko.  I tried every supplements, soup wala talaga.  Until six month nagsa-suck siya sa akin pinipilit ko talaga para kahit papaano bonding namin.  Kaso one day bigla na lang niya inayawan at tinatalikuran na ako.  Sabi ng nanay ko mana daw ako sa kanya kasi siya din daw noon wala daw lumalabas na gatas kahit isuck ng tatay namin.  With me and my brother okay naman kami.  Di naman kami mahina sa school, kapatid ko nga lagi nagtatop noon sa klase.

With my baby's development naman, so far once pa lang siya nagkasakit.  She's 7 months right now.  Super likot, she loves to watch her educational cds.

ako rin hindi ko napa breastfeed baby ko..hindi yata tama yung pag latch niya..at iyak pa ng iyak,feeling ko tuloy ayaw niya sa kin kaya na depress ako 1 month halos..na feel ko talaga may milk at lumalabas pa konti konti,kaya lang masakit talaga at ayaw i-suck ng baby ko.hindi naman inverted nipples ko..so far okay naman si baby ngayon,kinakabahan lang ako feeling ko kasi magkaka breast cancer pag hindi nagpa breastfeed..pero promise ko sa sarili ko sa next baby namin kahit umiyak siya at kahit masakit titiisin ko magpa breastfeed..

Sabi ni mudrabells, 1 1/2 month lang daw ako exclusive BF then formula na right after, cause she had to go back to work agad, and I think humina na rin ata yung milk supply niya. Anyhoo, di naman ako sakitin or anything.

For my Leetol One, as much as possible exclusive BF as long as I can, pero baka magmixed na kami once I get back sa work, lalo na if humina na rin supply ko.

My panganay wasn't breastfed kasi I acquired a rare virus at that time. Kaya sa pangalawa ko, tinodo ko ang breastfeeding that it took us more than 3 years before he got totally weaned. Hindi siya natuto or nasanay sa bottle. After my breast, regular cup na agad.
