To reduce milk supply, you pump lesser. and drag the interval longer. Next time when you wan to stop bf, you oso have to do it this way. So now if you pump 100ml. you stop at 80ml or so. And if you usually pump every 3 hours, you drag to 4 hours. LIke tat less chance of engorgement.

My #1 and #2's age gap is 3.5 years. #1 was a difficult child, hardly slept, had bad separation anxiety, yells and screams... I knew I couldn't cope if I had #2 too soon. It would be good to have kids with close age gap and grow up tog. But if the parents can't cope, or mentally not prepared, end up worse. I realise for pple who have kids with close age gaps, they are usually working and have pple to take care of their kids and they are the relaxed, more bo chap kind of parents (no offence here). Cos I have been a SAHM and it is touch job without help. Luckily now I do, or else peng san.

Aiyo, dun say you not a good mother. Being a mom is a big step forward. It can be overwhelming. You can't predict how things will turn out. Hey, look at Maureen, she has 3 kids!
My hb and I used to look after our girl ourselves. Cos we were living abroad. Wah piang, damn tiring, it is like not you, then it's me. I bathe, he take care, he work I take care. V v tiring. And everywhere we go, we have to bring her along, no such thing as can't bring baby out when they too young.
I used to dread night time, cos it is dark, quiet and lonely, and you know tat small fella is gg to wake up a few times, crying for milk, you have to feed, pump, wash sterilise, change, clean his poo... when you lie down, next feed liao. So this time ard, I can't be bothered to pump to upkeep supply, cos I know if constantly bf, still will have ss. So I stopped the pumping, only pump if engorged and i know he wont drink from tat side for the next 2 hours or so.

I dun freeze it, I just pump, then leave in the fridge for 2 or 3 days at most. And I give #1 from there. Anyway ah, #2 is wasting my milk, cos each time I heat up 1 bottle to try feed him, he wont take. Sigh...
