I kinda wish mine would stop growing... I went from 34B to 34C, and my 34C bra is starting to fill tight!! Don't tell me I need to get 36D bra liao.... :(

I'm v irritated because for my loose dresses, I am starting to feel the top part around my boobs are getting tighter, but nothing to show around the stomach....

take it slowly... breast milk cant rush... haha... in hospital let bb latch every 3 hrs, rest, then 1.5 hr later you hand pump 15 mins each breast, then rest, 1.5hr later latch and so on and so forth! this cycle will have to repeat during day time during confinement... night time just latch every 3 hrs... dun need to pump la...

meanwhile hydrate hydrate hydrate

after one month, hopefully milk supply kicked in, and if you have successfully latched, dropped your pumping and let BB latch longer... but if your bb cannot latch, then continue previous month cycle until you give up latching and focus on pumping..

Actually I don’t think pumping is a good idea to stimulate the milk supply during the first week. Very often we may end up with sore and broken nipples due to the friction from the pump instead. Try kangaroo care instead. What we need is direct contact with our babies so that the boobs can send a message to our brains to make more milk. I had baby wheeled in with me almost 24/7. And he was on my chest the whole time. Latched whenever he wanted. He didn't even had a chance to cry at all because he was already in mummy's arms. Heehee.. Just sharing my experience. It's really very nice to bond right from the start.

TO STOP PUMPING!
Forgot to add : if you have started pumping and wanted to stop at 6 months mark or any other markers, please do so in a GRADUAL phase... cuz by 6 mths, your milk supply would be very established... its normal to pump up to 200ml from each breast if you are pumping every 3 hour...

Always remember - supply = demand... lower demand = lower supply

if you stopped pumping altogether suddenly, you will have all Mastitis, Fever .....

i think for latching is easier to wean off cuz your bb would have taken soft solids then, so your supply definitively will drop... for those exclusively pump, your pump is your latch... if you are pumping every 3 hourly and 20 mins each time, you have to drag to 4 hourly 15 mins for a few days then drag to 5 hourly 15 mins etc etc... watch how your breasts react to the slow down... in the beginning please do not drag from a 3 hourly pump to a 6 hourly pump... you will surely get nasty engorgement...

Yes yes, I agree. Need to do it gradually.

But latching on may not be as easy to wean off due to the emotional bond that baby already has with the boobs. It may involve a lot of tears from both mummy and baby if both are not ready. Latching on would have become the baby's source of comfort by then. Not merely food. When baby feels sleepy, tired, cranky or scared, latching on gives comfort. To be honest even if my baby was ready to be weaned off, I was not. I still feel that I am kinda forced by my gynae to wean off my boy. And I still cry over it at night sometimes. And nope it will not be the same with #3. Each and every child gives us a unique experience that cannot be replaced.

Yup! Make full use of the LCs while we are still in the hospital. After we leave the hospital, we need to pay I think $60 per visit and double for home visit!!

And for Breastfeeding, low supply doesn't mean insufficient supply also. Every baby different and their tummies r v little.

Let me go find the picture...

Ok not the exact picture I wanted to find.. But see it also says just 5ml to 7ml for one day old baby. So don't panic if day one you don't find much milk coming out

Ya cannot bring kids there, the place/MTRs not kids/pram friendly one, all stairs everywhere. The people also tend to be not as friendly as Taiwan I can say...

I went with a gf, we also need to push our way through and then must be very garang.

Super painful due to the wound.. not sure if she is suppose to do it like so early after the c-sect.. i heard that suppose to wait like after 1 mth then can do for c-sect..
