babe, I latch her during the day, then up to about 12 plus at night I cannot tahan then I will go sleep, from then to about 8 in the morning those times she wake up to feed, my CL will bottle feed my EBM. I not sure if I doing correctly, but during the day, after she latches, I will pump out somemore using the pump. Approx I do it about 2 times a day. Or when I feel breasts still quite heavy after she finishes, I will pump also. I still cant quite catch how much she is drinking becoz I can latch her for 25 minutes on each side, burp her and then she will still stick her tongue out and then put her down, she will cry. My CL says still not full, I will go latch her again for another 15 minutes, end up sometimes she will either start to slow down on sucking and then I stop on one side and then after that I will pump out milk from the side she did not latch on. Other times, I feed her until I pek chek, I will scold her and then ask my hubbie to take over. Half the time, I still cant quite understand she not full or she want my breast to soothe her. DUH.
I will play with her a while after she finish latching or my parents or my hubbie will talk to her a while. My CL says try to play a while then quickly let them sleep especially at night, else they will have the habit of always wanting to play wo. But my mum say bb need to sayang one, she end up she always carry her to sleep.
Steph, my ger also got a lot of phlegm
I so worried, coz when I feed her or when she cry, wa all the mucus from the nose ah, then her eyes also got a lot of yellow green mucus, then you hear so much sound coming from her nose and her wind pipe. I also heart pain. But only till monday then going to see PD for her jaundice. Hope its ok.
Poo poo, my ger only poo like 4 times a day le, though she on breast milk.
mcfluffy, I also same, I stay at home during CNY, coz all the relatives say I cant go out to visit them. Duh. But i told my hubbie to go. Then end up today, he woke up, we went to TMC to take blood test for bb, come back, my CL say not enough vinegar need to go buy, so I ask hubbie to go buy, then he gave me the "tired" look, say he slept very late last night and then this morning not enough sleep, then also he wanna watch some program on TV. So I so fedup, I change, and I went to buy myself. So angry with him. Then when I left, I heard my ger crying, I also heck care, leave him settle her, then he understand how I feel when I handle her alone. He was also telling me, how he miss playing golf, about a few weeks never play already. Then I told him, next time, he wont be able to play so often, coz weekend he need to keep me company and look after bb, so I can take a breather since I am with her 24/7. Then he say I can take a few hours off. Sick.
Sometimes, we just need to blow off some steam. I already thinking how am I going to bring ger out next time alone, I think its going to be a challenge. I cant imagine hanlding the stroller and her and then she cry need to breast feed, cant find nursing room or when drive, she fuss. SIAO LEOW.
Mom2nat, can understand, sometimes I get really fustrated. Is it really my milk flow slow or what?
Coz the prob with direct latching is that we can never see how much we are producing. Sometimes when I pump I can also tell pump for 5 minutes also nothing, then after that milk then come out. So I also wonder if really all the time my ger sucking is always got milk or sometimes will stop.
QQ, I am buying the cake vouchers from bengawan solo to give out.
