bbgoh - My boobs used to leak in the first month when trying to establish supply. But since was in confinement, so stayed home most of the time, never put breast pads. I also bought breast pads before delivery, but ended up never use. NUK and Medela.
Any mummies want also? can PM me please.
After a while, the boobs no longer leak (or maybe my ss not say a lot). But I do notice that they still start leaking abit when I take off my bra for pumping!!! Think they are conditioned to the pumping routine already. Psychological maybe... just like how the breasts will suddenly feel engorged when you hear your bb crying? But I think leak is not a bad thing after all, mean your letdown is good. Just that got to spend money on breast pads!
Mousebb - Yes, I did what you are doing now, 11 pm plus pump and then about 3-4am pump. Ermm... actually I was lazy from beginning, never really achieve 8 x 3-hrly a day coz I ended up pumping once at night only. Like what Mint said, the body will condition and re-adjust itself after a few days. I kept missing my 7th pump few weeks back and after a while, realise the daily ss maintained. I don't dare to drop the 6th pump yet..... Why don't you try 2-3 days again to skip 1 pump in the early morning? see if ss stablise.
Yah man, my MIL just commented that she spent so much money buying the good fish for me to eat coz I am BF. Asked me if milk powder will cost lesser... I wonder if she's dropping me hints... haha..
My bb also making a lot of noise trying to flip, haha. We ended up helping her to shut her up. She even wants to flip while bathing... so difficult to hold on to her these days with my painful wrists.
re: mani and pedi - Wah, xinying, happening mummy.... your nails are so sexy!! and goodness, your skills good leh.... I am doing only pedi coz not keeping finger nails also in case scratch bb.
the busy bee - I am bringing pump to go visiting... though I find it funny to request relatives to lend me a room to pump. But no choice leh.... either I stay home or I am bringing the pump whereever I go.
talking abt socks - yeah, i finally ordered the leg warmers!~~...
BB no need be wrapped like a "mummy" when we go to air-con places.
