Been up since 5am to pump..so tired frm the whole day yday without sleep in noon at all. My gal is down with suspected HFMD. Her tchr called in noon and said her class has one confirmed case, my gal has red and white spots on the left interior of the left cheek so hv to quarantine her. Brought her to see GP, but the sympthoms not so obvious yet as no spots on hands and fetes, so must monitor her.
The worse is, her meimei is sooo young and very weak as compared to bigger babies. Hope she don't get infected as highly contagious..haiz, what bad luck is this.. I hv to separate them , so tough esp ith my gal so active..I lock my bb in another room, and I hv to sanitize non stop to prevent and infections to myself and my gal..[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

I am still latching her on and off. It's true tt just pump and no latching will affect ss, as jbb's suckle is the natural pump tt can clear and empty breast better, thus yield more milk. I may switch back to full latch when ss is establish. Also, I want to Know how much she is drinking, so pump more for now.

I hv tot of switching to adjunct b4 to spend more time with my gals and having lesser crazy marking and admin and ccas..but I checked with a fellow adjunct flexi tchr, if I want to rejoin next time as a full time tchr when my kids grow older, I will hv to reapply and get interview again..what do u think? Still a better option than part time I think..

For me, I will pump dual side for 10-15mins, rest my b for abt 5 mins and pump again, with pressing letdown button on my PIS to achieve more milk flow. Each pump session abt 40mins, can yield 120ml - 150ml on average. Still trying to increase ss. Best acheivement is 260ml per pump.

Not really considered teaching in tuition centre as not as secure and lesser benefits as compared to moe tchrs. I need a more secure job as my hubby faced retrenchment last yr for more than 6 mths, so quite lucky tt I was in public sector. Could barely survived, but we made it. For now, doing exclusive pumping so as to monitor how much bb is drinking. Wil switch to full latch after milk ss is established. Bb latches on and off everyday. She ok with both.
