hi angelbaby,
I can't visualize wat happened to yr fren from yr description... is the milk too much? I cannot do direct feed to my elder one last time 'cos the milk just 'shoot' out and choke her 'cos too much for her to swallow and then wet her face too, so no choice got to feed her EBM.
hi missk,
when are you due? it's exciting waiting for the little one to arrive rite?
I'm breastfeeding my 2nd one now and I learn fm all my previous trials & errors on my 1st one alrdy mah.
Breastfeeding is not easy but it's really worth the effort. Expressing milk is not that complicated ala, just time consuming....
Expressing milk at work :
1) Best to hv a fridge otherwise need a really really good cooler bag & ice packs
2) Need sterilised funnel & bottle for expressing. I usually sterilize at home n bring the funnels in the lock&lock container to work.
3) Get a good pump, either manual or electric is ok so long as u r comfortable with it. I got an electric one 'cos milk supply is a lot, if use manual one, i think my fingers will get cramp
4)Understanding boss.....
Duration in between pumps:
My work schedule is rather bz so I have no choice but to stretch the hours in between to 5-6 hrs.
When I get home I need to 'entertain' the elder one so also try to stretch my last pump after her bed time.
BM is the best for yr bb, so at least try to BF before turning to FM. PM me if u hv any doubts, I'll be glad to help ok?
