Had time to read some of the kellymom articles.
RE: Cluster feeding / Fussy Baby
Yah....YY also has this cluster feeding these few days. Like this afternoon, she demands nursing every 30 mins, but already v full, finally she spit out some milk then she dun ask for more. But, cannot get her to sleep. Just fallen asleep. Wah...she fuss for 3 whole hours leh.
RE: Single side feeding / pump other side
Hunni,
if you want to increase milk supply, yes....pump out.
>To speed milk synthesis and increase daily milk production, the key is to remove more milk from the breast and to do this quickly and frequently, so that less milk accumulates in the breast between feedings.
>In practice, this means that a mother who wishes to increase milk supply should aim to keep the breasts as empty as possible throughout the day.
>Pump after nursing if baby does not adequately soften both breasts. If baby empties the breasts well, then pumping is more useful if done between nursing sessions (in light of our goal to keep the breasts as empty as possible).
But in my case, I don't have intention to increase my milk SS leh...just wanna relieve the fullness and leaking. From one article, seems to suggest not to express out fully, instead just enough to relieve the pressure. Since these two days, my breasts not engorged and YY can drain my breast quite well after a 6-8 hr storage, I think I shall not pump out.
