krex78, celyn,
My body so far produced almost enough for Kai. Only on some days when I am sick, not enough rest, too tired or dragged pumping due to other activities ie MJ and it becomes 1 pump lesser for the 24 hours. Then have to rely on FBM.
His drinking schedule (7-8 feeds of 180ml)
6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12am
Sometimes he wakes up at nite for another feed like these few days. Prob have to up his last feed, perhaps not enough.
7*180ml = 1260ml or 1440ml per 24 hours
My pump schedule :-
7am, 12pm, 7-9pm, 11-1ampm, 4am(or skip this pump) ..... so each time I have to produce close to 2 feeds(360ml) but most of the time, it's about 300ml. I've been utilising the FBM quite a bit, left quite little now.
So far, he doesn't cry after feeding. He'll be quite happy and active or will fall asleep so I gather that's enough for him.
Perhaps when doing direct latching, they really don't drink enough ... but then again, direct latching is based on demand feeding rite?
For pumping, you can squeeze till the last drop.
If based on celyn's babysitter recommendation, KAI should then be drinking 260ml? I'd faintz liao and KAI will grow even fatter! hehe. Last time they say each 100g drink how much ah? recommendation from PD one.
