jessietan - Wah ... 100mls ... that's a high goal. For me, this week, can maintain 60ml I damn happy already. Coz' I'd usually express an hour after she feeds. Actually huh, fathers have big role or not depends on how you 'train' them. Like I keep telling my DH ... he has to do these things coz' it's bonding session with her. ie. Change diapers, burp her, talk to her to wake her up for feeds, soothe her when she cries and bathe her. And of course, I'll give him his breaks lah. Like when he was at the hospital with me day and night, i told him to take a break and go home. Asked my mom to take over his duty. He really appreciates it and came back recharged. Or sometimes, will let him play his video games. I don't feel that they need to be around us or baby 24 x 7.
mamaD - It happened to be once before. If it keeps occuring to you. I suggest you get the medela breast shield or nipple shield (cannot remember which). It is like a plastic cup onto your breast, can help you to 'accumulate' your milk so that you won't waste it. But make sure you sterilize it first before using and pour it and keep it in a bottle or milk bag immediately after. If you are wearing a nursing bra, usually you'd just remove one side to feed, so the other side, you can just keep it back up to contain the leaking milk.
melody - There's no shame in giving baby pacifier as long as you're using it for the right reasons. I am contemplating to get it too. Don't encourage suckling for comfort. Otherwise in the long run, you will suffer for frequent feeds. I know hospitals encourage demand feeding. But when we practice demand feeding, babies have a tendency not to differentiate they're suckling for hunger or comfort. To them, it's just like I'm not feeling good, i want momma's nipples. Be it for hunger or comfort, they can't differentiate yet. So if you strongly feel that your LO is just suckling for comfort, then give her the pacifier. Sometimes, spitting out milk is not she doesn't want it and coz' she wanted to suckle for comfort. Sometimes, spitting out milk is coz' she wasn't burped. So even if you're BF-ing her, must make sure she's being burped.
clarissagoh - If I'm not wrong, your EDD was the same as mine. Don't be too hard on your LO. In my opinion, it's a healthy weight. And I was told by my OB that they gain faster outside. So just jia you, k?
redtea - Your breasts might feel hard after pumping coz' there might be blocked ducts. Feel around your breasts, do you feel lumps? If you do, you MUST massage them to loosen the ducts. This is to prevent mastitis and also give you more milk flow.
Good life huh...hehe...
