Krsytel, ya i will be going on 5th. i prefer wkdays so that i dun have to wait long.
Mildy, ya i got gd breakfast. pity i can have the chilli i want.. like green chilli.. hahaha.. she only allows me to have chillipadi with soy sauce.
Hi Happywifey, i give EBM so i pump min 8x a day.. i would say if u wanna have lotsa milk (if u don't latch) then u have to keep pumping. even if nothing comes out from your nipples, u still shd pump abt 2-5 mins. also, massaging ur boobs before u pump helps u to achieve a faster letdown. for me my letdown is almost instantaneous if i do my massage properly or else within 2 mins. don't give up ya?
Haru, ya cos ur boobs are more used to being emptied by ur bb hence when u use a pump, u can't empty it well.. also i realised u need to get use to the pump, like trying different angles, squeezing and kneedling ur boobs while pumping.
Amore, Happy, ooh i see.. from massage lady ah.. hard to get the oil? i dunno if i need to standby a bottle. i dun have a massage lady leh. my tummy is flat 5 days aft i gave birth. couldn't be bothered to get a ML. Amore, where did u get the oil from? how much does it cost?
Lilian, the funnel MUST cover ur whole areola. meaning ur whole nipple is inside the funnel.
its not breast shields, its part of the pump itself.
Mosh, oh dear... MILs are nv easy to tackle. even though i can say ignore her, i myself can't do it. i get very worked up when i hear my MIL/CL saying that drinking my EBM is not enough. dun give up on pumping. my ss only hit 100-120ml at day 14. try fenugreek, it works for me. also u gotta pump 3 hrly at least.. cannot skip a pump.
Dymples, haha.. i need to be more relax abt bb.. i think i kena a bit of post natal blues.. today i keep crying for no reason. look at bb slping also teared. sigh.. i very morose today... hb also noticed. think its the combination of lack of slp and me giving stress over my ss. although now i can meet his needs abt 90% of the time, i still feel guilty when i have to give a bottle of FM here and there. sigh...
