Morning mummies!
Wah, me simply cannot catch up with the fast moving thread! Too many things happening so I hardly have a chance to login. First was baby's arrival, alot of guests visiting hospital and at home, then got to plan for baby's full mth, me busy doing scrapbooking abt baby Kayla as well and today my love nest's renovation started. Gosh! Been super hectic for me!
Firstly, wanna congratulate all mummies who have given birth! Yeah!
Secondly, wanna encourage all mummies to breastfeed. I am still doing total breastfeeding. As I delivered via epi c-sect at 10.32am, baby Kayla was only brought to me at ard 5+pm. I quickly let her latch on then. Regardless if I have any colostrum/milk and painful nipples (as you really need some getting used to), I insisted that baby Kayla was brought to me every 3 hrly. This helped in getting baby Kayla to latch on and for me to keep trying a suitable position and way to latch her. Even when I was home, i tried to stick to the schedule with deviation oni when she is hungry earlier then the 3hrly, I will let her latch on. I oso expressed out my milk whenever i feel my breast is hardening as I feared engorgement (that means even at times after a feed). And surprisingly, that helped and I did not suffer from engorgement. So now 15days later, I am still doing total breastfeeding and have started to store my ebm in the freezer. Each day I will have stored 270ml/10oz milk in the freezer. Good to let her drink when I need to train her to use the bottle next mth. So do not give up on breastfeeding! Its not easy, it means sacrificing sleep etc but it is worth every ounce of your effort! Jia you! If need help, do let me know.
