        • Can you still express milk if you don’t have a refrigerator?

        • I am not a mum yet, but I am longing to be one so much. I was informed by my gynecologist that I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I’ve been trying for about 3 months now and have been on some medication for atleast a month to help stimulate ovulation. My pregnancy test last week was negative. I got so discouraged and just broke down. I would like to know if you have encountered such cases and what you would advise a woman with such issues on conception? Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks. Hopeful future mum

        • I would love to breastfeed my 6-month-old girl but she refuses the breast and she loves her bottles so much. Sometimes I express milk but it’s a lot of work for me and it tires me so I give her formula most of the time. She was born with unilateral cleft lip and her palate was intact. The nurses and her pediatrician advised me to bottle-feed until she has had her surgery then I can breastfeed if I want to after she has recovered. She’s now fully recovered since she had her surgery when she was 3 months old but she doesn’t want the breast. My pediatrician advised me to just bottle-feed her if she doesn’t want to breastfeed but I want her to breastfeed. I am tired of washing bottles and boiling water and waking up in the middle of the night to mix formula. Is it too late to start breastfeeding her?
