Reverse Cycling
By Kelly Bonyata, BS, IBCLC
What is reverse cycling?
Reverse cycling is when baby nurses frequently at night and less frequently during the day.
Why do some babies reverse cycle?
* Newborns may reverse cycle in the early days or weeks simply because they have their days and nights mixed up.
*Distractible (and/or very active) babies or toddlers may nurse more at night to make up for missed or shortened nursing sessions during the day.
*If mom is very distracted or busy during the day, baby may nurse more at night to make up for missed or shortened nursing sessions, or simply to get more uninterrupted time with mom.
*If mom is away from baby during the day, baby may take just enough milk (by bottle or cup) to “take the edge off” his hunger, then wait for mom to return to get the bulk of his calories. Baby will typically nurse more often and/or longer than usual once mom returns. Some mothers encourage reverse cycling so they won’t need to pump as much milk. Reverse cycling is common for breastfed babies who are away from mom part of the day, especially those just starting out with the bottle.
Tips for handling reverse cycling
General coping tips for interrupted sleep:
*Sleep late or go to bed early when possible. When you’re at home with baby, nap when your baby naps.
*Keep baby as close as possible during the night to maximize sleep for everyone. Some options are to have baby in bed with you, in a bed adjoining your bed, or in a bed in the same room.
More tips:
*Maximizing sleep when baby nurses frequently
*If you need a nap and your toddler doesn’t
*Nighttime and Sleep Resources
If your newborn has days and nights mixed up:
*During the day, keep the lights on and go on with your normal daytime activities — don’tkeep things dark and quiet where baby is sleeping. Play with and talk to baby during waking times. *Wake baby to nurse every 2-3 hours.
*During baby’s night wakings, keep everything calm, quiet, and dark (if you need a light to breastfeed, try using a smaller light like a nightlight or closet light). At some point you may want to begin a bedtime routine (such as bath, story, breastfeeding) to signal that nighttime has begun.
When mom is busy or distracted:
*Consider using a sling or other baby carrier so that baby can be with you and breastfeed while you go about your day.
*Be aware of baby’s typical breastfeeding routine, and remember to watch for baby’s cues on busy days — this is easiest when baby is close by.
*Be aware that after a really busy day (we all have them!), your child may need some one-on-one time with mom to breastfeed and reconnect.
Tips for juggling a newborn and toddler
*If your baby is distractible, see The Distractible Baby for tips. Do babies under 12 months self-wean? has additional tips for distractible older babies.
*If baby is reverse cycling and taking very little milk when mom is away at work:
*Be patient. Try not to stress about it. Consider it a compliment – baby prefers you!
*Use small amounts of expressed milk per bottle so there is less waste.
*If you’re worrying that baby can’t go that long without more milk, keep in mind that some babies sleep through the night for 8 hours or so without mom needing to worry that baby is not eating during that time period. Keep an eye on wet diapers and weight gain to assure yourself that baby is getting enough milk.
*Ensure that baby has ample chance to nurse when you’re together.
*If you prefer to pump less milk while you’re away from baby, you may choose toencourage baby to reverse cycle.
Kalau baca artikel di atas…rasanya kita tak perlu risau kalau anak kita reverse cycling kan?
Apa pandangan anda? Antara sebab lain anak menolak EBM:
*Tak suka puting tiruan
*Tak suka minum EBM sebab tak best macam nenen
*Nak mommy tak nak botol
... dan banyak lagi... selera budak kecil pun susah kita nak jangka kan
respect their decision…heheheheh

HOW MUCH EXPRESSED MILK WILL BABY NEED?

Kadang-kadang menjadi persoalan para ibu berapa oz yg diperlukan oleh sikecil. Selalu menjadi kesukaran pada kita jika terlebih bekalan susu yg dihantar ke taksa mahupun ke rumah penngasuh. Kellymom.com telah mengupas tajuk ini dgn begitu sempurna sekali.

How much milk do babies need?
Many mothers wonder how much expressed breastmilk they need to have available if they are away from baby.
In exclusively breastfed babies, milk intake increases quickly during the first few weeks of life, then stays about the same between one and six months (though it likely increases short term during growth spurts). Current breastfeeding research does not indicate that breastmilk intake changes with baby's age or weight between one and six months. After six months, breastmilk intake will continue at this same level until -- sometime after six months, depending in baby's intake from other foods -- baby's milk intake begins to decrease gradually (see below).
The research tells us that exclusively breastfed babies take in an average of 25 oz (750 mL) per day between the ages of 1 month and 6 months. Different babies take in different amounts of milk; a typical range of milk intakes is 19-30 oz per day (570-900 mL per day).
We can use this information to estimate the average amount of milk baby will need at a feeding:
* Estimate the number of times that baby nurses per day (24 hours).
* Then divide 25 oz by the number of nursings.
* This gives you a "ballpark" figure for the amount of expressed milk your exclusively breastfed baby will need at one feeding.
Example: If baby usually nurses around 8 times per day, you can guess that baby might need around 3 ounces per feeding when mom is away. (25/8=3.1).
Selalu juga menjadi persoalan pada kita, bagaimana jika anak itu telah menjangkau usia 6 bulan. Apa keperluan anak itu sendiri bila umurnya melebihi 6 bulan. Mari kita lihat apa kata kellymom tentang isu ini.
What if baby is eating solid foods?
Sometime between six months and a year (as solids are introduced and slowly increased) baby's milk intake may begin to decrease, but breastmilk should provide the majority of baby's nutrition through the first year. Because of the great variability in the amount of solids that babies take during the second six months, the amount of milk will vary, too. One study found average breastmilk intake to be 30 oz per day (875 ml/day; 93% of total intake) at 7 months and 19 oz (550 ml/day; 50% of total energy intake) at 11-16 months.
Several studies have measured breastmilk intake for babies between 12 and 24 months and found typical amounts to be 14-19 oz per day (400-550 mL per day). Studies looking at breastmilk intake between 24 and 36 months have found typical amounts to be 10-12 oz per day (300-360 mL per day
