Pooh,
Me too, latch no pain, pump very painful. When bb latches on, he can suckle for 30 mins, and it will last him about 2.5 hrs. However, if I tried to pump for the equal amount of time, *ouch*, it’s painful and I get miserable quantity. So I gather, the sucking technic is probably different from pumping and if it can last him 2.5 hrs, I trust it’s sufficient for him. As such, these few days, I gave up pumping. I just feed based on demand. Moreover, my boy drink BM, must drink fresh one, ie from the breast, he rejects BM in bottle. He will fuss and fuss when given EBM. That give me another excuse / good reason to stop pumping. I think when I go back to work, I might just give up b-feeding.
Ladies,
Actually, now my bb is 3 weeks plus, but I am still trying to adjust, and I still feel as if I have an identity crisis. It’s like I lost my own life, and now a typical day is all about, eat, breast feed, sleep, eat, breast feed, sleep …… Most of you feel sad for the low supply, for me, I don’t feel sad, actually I feel sian …..
Cheri,
I also scared bb give gifts that are useless. I have so many DOM, and I am so scared pp give DOM, I can almost bath in it le.
Moony,
Last night my boy also very cranky, don’t know what he wants. Luckily CL still here, she literally kept him entertain for 3 hours. If CL is gone, I will be in trouble. Some more, I am not a very patient person. Sometimes when I b-feed, and bb get fussy, I also get very hot tempered. Hb always says, cool down he’s only a bb ...
