Organizing breastmilk stash

Natutunan ko dito sa sub pano mas maging organize ang breastmilk stash.

Wag ifufull capacity ang BM bag. If ang bag is good for 6oz capacity, 4oz lang ang ilagay. Dati 6oz capacity bag ko, nilalagyan ko ng 5-6oz, lumulobo sa ilalim. Ngayon, bumili ako ng 8oz bag and I only pour 5oz.
My favorite, ilagay ang BM bag with milk sa facemask holder while freezing para mamaintain ang shape. Mas maganda and madaling iorganize later on. Pantay-pantay ang hugis. Helps with maximizing the fridge.

May anak ba kayong mahilig mang-gigil? Pano nyo hinandle sa school?

Context: baby boy, 4 years old. 2 weeks na sa Kinder 1. Napagsasabihan na kami ng teacher na ang love language nya ay pang gigigil sa classmates. Nakakasakit sya ng di sinasadya. Aside sa random gigil, wala ng problema. Nagpaparticipate sa activities, mabilis matuto and behave naman.

Quick to apologize daw sya after manggigil. Alam nyang mali pero hirap talaga syang pigilan.

Nung first time nya ginawa, kinausap namin. 2nd time, napalo ng belt. 3rd time, humingi na kami ng help kay teacher. Wag daw saktan at need lang ng constant reminder.

Tinanong ko talaga kung need ba namin ng professional intervention baka nasa spectrum or may ADHD. Hindi naman daw po. Nakakapagfocus at behave naman. Hirap lang talaga sya controllin gigil nya.

Ayaw ko pong maging bully ang anak ko. Hindi ko na alam pano sya didisiplinahin lalo pat nakikita ko naman instant regret nya pero ayaw ko din nakakasakit sya ng ibang bata.

Mommies, may ganitong case ba kayo? Pano nyo hinandle?

Hirap talaga ang pila sa ibang Gov Agencies

Not my own experience. Random lang na nakita ko sa newsfeed ko. Naawa ako kay Ate. Imagine ang init. Tapos nag antay sya ganon katagal.

Sana may paraan na mas maging efficient ang mga gov transactions para di mahirapan mga tao.

My baby boy (2mos) only consumes 2oz per 3 hours of breastmilk. Is this normal? Paano iincrease appetite nya?

Kaka two months lang ng baby boy ko and 5.5kilograms sya. Nung pinanganak sya ay 2.8kgs. Normal delivery.

Pure breastmilk si baby. Bottle sa umaga, latch sa gabi.

Oversupplier ako. I can pump 17oz in one go sa morning, and usually 11oz every 4 hours.

We try to feed him 4oz every 3 hours, pero 1-2oz lang talaga nadedede nya hanggang sa maexpire na yung gatas.

Yung kuya(4yo) nya dati, 4oz every 3 hours, ubos agad in 10mins at 6kilograms na nung 1month old.

Nagwoworry ako. Paano ba iincrease ang appetite ng babies? Never pato nakatikim ng formula, and wala akong plan.

Suggest baby teat (or nipple) na malambot at swak sa avent anticolic bottle

Baby is 2 mos. Purely breastmilk. Nagpapump po ako. During the day, bottle sya. Nakaka2oz max lang nadede nya.

Pero pag direct latch, kaya nya 5oz. Nalalaman ko kasi after nyang maglatch, nagpapump ako at 1 oz nalang napapump ko for 30mins.

Usually, 6-7oz ako per breast. (Oversupplier here.)

Nipple nalang po sana bibilhin ko dahil may 8pcs avent na sya. Sayang naman po kung whole bottle di magamit. Parang matigas ata ang avent for baby or i dunno. Just trying to find solution.

4 Liters of breastmilk stash, natunaw after 3 days of power blackout dahil sa 7.8M earthquake

Nagsasave ng stash for contingency and assurance. Those long sleepless nights of pumping, my efforts, literally sweat and blood, nutritious meals I consume to produce these, dedication and happiness when I see my stash piling up-- gone and wasted.

June 8 ng 730am lumindol. June 10 na ng gabi nagkakuryente. Wala kaming matakbuhan, lahat blackout, lahat takot, at if meron man, di ko na maiisip pa dalhin ang stash ko. Priority ko na ang safety ng 4yo and 1month babies ko.

40 bags totalling 135oz or 3992mL of breastmilk, nathaw fully. Sinubukan kong buksan ang isa baka pwede pang baby bath, iba na ang amoy. Di ko na iririsk baka magkarashes pa si baby.

Patuloy naman ang buhay. Malungkot. Nasasayangan. Importante, ligtas kaming lahat. Babangon pa din at patuloy na magtatyaga. Maabot ko din ganito kadaming stash at baka mas marami pa. Kaya ko to. Nanay ako. Walang di kakayanin para kay baby.

Rejected SSS Maternity Benefit

Context: April 2nd week nanganak. Live birth.

Reason for rejection: No official receipt attached.

I am voluntary payer since Dec 2025 (4 mos lang, prior to that, private company ako. Nagresign due to sensitive pregnancy.)

LCR yung sinubmit ko. Sabi ni husband, wala naman daw resibo binigay dahil wala naman syang binayaran. (Pakiconfirm nyo po, baka mali pagkakaintindi nya.)

Nagtry kaming mag order ng PSA online kasi yon may resibo, ang sabi don di daw mapaprocess agad pag within 3 months palang ng registration.

So yung SSS benefit pala ng voluntary payer, parang SOP marereceive 4 months after giving birth?

Sa 1st pregnancy ko, private company, within 1 week nanjan na.

Hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, this is all I could get after 20 hours without pumping, down from my usual 300mL per session

Cannot pump because my pumps were low-batt. My charging schedule is 8am, but the quake happened at 7:30am.

All my stash was defrosted after 38 hours of no power supply. My 4-year-old thinks the earthquake is the best thing because we ate hotdogs all day and papa and I stayed at home. There was no distilled water, so we just boiled tap water thoroughly for drinking. It’s still very fortunate we even have water.

My breasts felt weird—engorged, then soft. From my usual 300mL, all I could pump now is maybe 170 mL after 20 hours of no pumping. I know I can get my supply back just by pumping round the clock every 4 hours and taking supplements again. This may also be because of stress. But hey, my family and I survived. Properties were damaged, stash gone, but there are worse things that can happen. Famine and war are happening all over the world, and this is just my situation. I can move on from this.

Spectra pump plastic flange is uncomfortable — any rubberized compatible alternatives?

Something that I can just insert so I don’t need to replace the whole kit. Preferably, I can save some money by doing so, and still use the original parts.

Social Media Detox

Nadedrain din ba kayo sa Facebook? Parang di maiwasan mastress sa politics at life expectation from what other people posts. Parang di totoo ang life sa soc med.

IG at reddit nalang naiwan sa akin. Lately nagtanggal din ako ng followers sa IG. Gusto ko nalang mawalan ng digital footprint at magfocus sa life infront of me.

Looking for Comfortable Flange Options for Spectra S1 in Derbyshire, UK

Hi! This post is not for me but for my sister who is based in Derbyshire. Her pump is Spectra S1, and the plastic flange hurts her breasts. I already suggested Maymom’s (see pic), but according to her, it is not available on Amazon.

Can you help suggest stores or online shops available nearby?

Suggest diaper for big kids. Eto gamit namin now

Context: Baby boy is almost 4years old, 27kgs. Malaking bata. Not obese pero malaking katawan. Papa nya is 6 feet 3 inches ang height, baka same sila ng built.

Yung diaper nya, sa gabi lang ginagamit, kumakati sa tiyan yung garter nito. Kinabukasan pagkagising nya, sobrang kamot ng kamot at namumula sa tiyan, kalevel ng pusod. Nilalagyan ko naman ng calmoseptine pero ganon padin. Masikip kasi. Wala akong mahanap na mag big pa dito so we tried diaper for adults M ang size. Sobra ang leaking sa kanya.

Oversupply donation dillema

1 month postpartum here. Every pump ko, nakakakuha ako ng 7-10oz. Dati I pumped 6x a day pero mas lalo lang dumadami. Kaya ngayon, 4x a day nalang.

When baby was in NICU, may nakasama akong mama na premie ang baby at need ng breastmilk. Nagdonate ako ng 3 large ziplock na puno ng frozen breastmilk.

After 2 weeks, nagmessage ang mama nung baby, narelease na sila at mabilis daw recovery ni baby lalo't pure breastmilk sya. Nagpapasalamat. I felt happy.

Ngayon, may mga napagsabihan yung mama nung baby na ibang mothers. Normal si baby nila, wala daw gatas si mother. Natanong ko kung nagpapalatch or nagpapump. Ang sabi, "wala talaga akong gatas kahit sa una kong baby. Baka pwede makahingi kasi marami ka namang milk."

Parang off sa akin na hindi sila nagtatry man lang. Gusto lang nya ibreastmilk si baby nya dahil may mahihingian.

Naisip ko, nagigising ako ng 3am. Napuputol ang tulog. Gumagastos sa bag, naghuhugas ng pump.

Akala ata nila madali. Madami akong milk, yes, pero di ko feel na deserve nila mabigyan. Masama ba ako? Nakokonsensya ako. Ayaw ko rin naman ibenta.

Why do you use the pitcher method instead of individual bottles?

I'm from Southeast Asia and was surprised to learn about the pitcher method. I'm a second-time mom. I pumped for 3 years with my firstborn and am currently 3 weeks postpartum with my second baby.

What I do is stock some 3 oz per bottle and estimate the immediate consumption for the day. The remaining pumped milk after that will be frozen as reserve (for when my milk supply decreases later, like during my period or stress) or for donation. I'm not planning to buy another fridge, so my storage is pretty limited.

May I ask why you do the pitcher method? I think the lifespan of the milk will decrease a little and will be based on the first milk that was put into the pitcher. Why not store it separately in the first place?

Am I missing something?

My birthing story: GDM, Induced, 3 days labor, NSVD

28 weeks diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. Adviced to diet and monitor sugar, FBS, 1 and 2 hrs after meals. Sineryoso ang diet. 3 tablespoon brown rice, 2 boiled eggs, and 3 pcs okra standard always per meal plus kahit anong ulam. No fruits of any kind. No desserts/biscuits. For snacks, I have nuts/ kahit anong luto ng egg. Also, if I can, I do threadmill 15-30mins per meal. Not always, pag pagod/masakit tiyan, pahinga.

36 weeks, baby is around 2.7kgs. OB told me not to go relax with my diet because babies at this stage can gain 1 kg per week.

37 weeks, diagnosed with polyhydramnios o yung sobrang dami ng tubig. Ang laki-laki ng tiyan ko. OB decided iinduced ako after a week.

Exactly 38 weeks, confined and induced with oxytocyn. Stayed in the labor room of a private hosp. 3 bed capacity don. Bawal ang visitors/ no husband with me. Minomonitor 3x a day yung movement and heartbeat ni baby, yung may pipindutin ka kung mafefeel mo movement nya and may printout. Grateful ako dahil hindi bumababa ang heartbeat ni baby. Iba pa yung may nakakabit sa tiyan to monitor baby's heartbeat sa screen 24 hrs. Abala sa pagCR dahil need tanggalin.

Masakit mainduced. Pero kahit anong sakit, iniisip ko nalang na pag mas sumasakit pa, eh malapit ko ng makita ang baby ko at matatapos na. 3cm ako upon admission. After 24 hrs, naging 5cm. Inhale sa ilong, exhale sa bibig. Dahan-dahan huminga. Controllin ang sariling pag-iisip. Masakit talaga manganak. Lahat ganito, pero kinakaya. Kaya ko din. Inhale, exhale, pray thru the pain. Kaya ko to sabay punas ng mga luha na tinatago sa midwives. Nahihiya baka ijudge. Kaya ko to. Paulit-ulit na sinasabi sa sarili. Lord, kaya ko to. Wala akong di kaya pag kumapit sayo.

After 2 days of induced labor, naging 7cm. It was lunch time, midwife told me no drinks and food dahil active labor na daw ako. Paulit-ulit na IE. 7cm, 6cm, 7cm again, iba-ibang IE levels. Around dinner time, head midwife conducted IE, 5cm pa daw. Nagtataka nako bakit umaatras. Pwede ba yon o subjective daliri nila. Sabi ko, pwede muna kumain? Gutom na talaga ako. Parang naawa naman sila, pinakain ako.

OB called the nurses/ midwives late at night, naisip ko, eto na, baka ICS na ako nito. This OB, 77 years old, family friend, the same OB that assisted my mom in all her 3 children, never gave up on me. As long as okay ako at si baby, itatry na mag normal.

Not the same fate with other pregnant women I spent time with in the labor room. I heard them cry and slept through their pain. Nag-aalarm yung monitor nila, baby is having 'brady'. Eto daw yung bumababa ang heartbeat ni baby during contraction. Inexplain ang situation sa kanila and have them sign something. Need maCS dahil hirap si baby.

I witnessed all 8 of them. Some, pagpasok sa OR, may maririnig na akong iyak ng baby within an hour. I can only pray na sana matapos na din paghihirap ko.

Day 3, 2am, my OB visited me. I was surprised because madaling araw na, nagdrive pa ang elderly OB ko. She performed IE. 6cm. Asked for bed pan and a needle. Pinasok nya what I felt was whole kamay nya, masakit pero tiniis para matapos na. Pinutok ang water ko. 5 bed pans ang napuno. Sabi nya, kaya di nagpoprogress labor mo dahil ang daming tubig, di makapush ang head ni baby sa cervix kasi lumalangoy sya pataas. Doc slept beside me on the empty bed. It was late for her to drive anyway and she just finished her rounds in all 3-4 hospitals sa city.

After 30mins, I talked to the midwife, miss, wag mo na akong i-IE. Dalhin nyo na ako sa OR. Anjan na si baby. Pakigising si Doc.

Pagpasok sa OR, focused on breathing. Nanginginig na buong katawan ko sa sakit. This pain, no wise words, no book reading can prepare us for this kind of pain. Only with our own experience can we understand.

Sabi ko, andito na ako, ibibigay ko na lahat-lahat ng nasa akin, lahat ng lakas ko, ilalabas ko na si baby. Matatapos na ako. With 3 push, baby out.

Healthy baby boy, 2.8kgs. Cord coil. Spent 2 days sa private room ko with my husband and went home after that.

We are all safe, healthy and recovering.

Thank you for reading this.
