Mrs, Kang,
all e best!! relax and enjoy the experience!
trx,
congrats!! i kind of feed on demand. for the past 2 nights, baby is waking every 2 hours, but in the day, he can sleep quite long and sometimes feed only after 4 hours. so i will pump in between. just so i don't get engorged/ blocked ducts.
my baby had his first expressed BM this morning, I decided to pump out for hubby to feed in case as I was gg to have my massage. He drank most of the 100ml that i pumped. but then i think he still prefers to latch. about 2 hours later, he was still looking for breast when i carried him...aww..
after enduring lots of painful massage, my breasts are finally not as blocked!!! but busy latching and pumping in between. trying to clear and empty boobs as much as possible. freezer is starting to stock up. gotta clear some of my stuff in e freezer soon.
mommies who are just starting to bf, remember babies only need like a teaspoon of milk (colostrum) in the first few days. don't let anyone tell you that is not enough milk. if it means latching every hour, do try to hang in there and keep latching. the milk will come in after a few days. as long as there is wet diapers/poo poo, baby is fine. just try to think about those villagers who do not have such thing as FM, they all only depend on mothers' milk only. just pretend that FM doesn't exist, maybe that will help?
