hahha.. now dun need to drink alchohol oso feels "giddy" cos not enuff sleep lah.. hahhaa.. anyway, alr stopped taking since last nite.
on TBF, so far so good but my supply is not meeting my gal's needs, i guess, unless she's drinking every 4~5 hrs then my breasts will be more full for her to suckle.
nowadays, she'll wanna nurse at 30~60 mins interval and gets frustrated. dunno if it's bcos she can't seems to get anything from the breasts!! wonder what i can do.

hmm.. quite diff leh, cos bb nurse adhoc.. so won't know what time she wants to feed and i'm trying to avoid giving EBM cos worried she doesn't want the breasts later. furthermore, i've got short nipples and ss not fast enuff for her (esp if she nursing at hourly or 2 hourly interval) and might reject the breasts if she's used to the flow of the bottle.

hahaha.. i not sure mah. scared will hv adverse effect on bb mah.
btw, dunno izzit bcos of the liquor or izzit bcos last nite bb was taken care of by hubby at nite.
previously, my mum's taking care of her at nite, (those days i took the liquor chicken at 10+pm) and i nurse bb at ard 11+pm. then she'll sleep thru the nite till 3~5am then wake up.
last nite, my hubby's taking care of her (din take liquor chicken last nite) and nurse bb at 10+pm, then she woke up at 1+am, 2+am, 3+am to feed.. but of cos, it might be bcos at 2+ & 3+, she din hv much milk to take cos my breasts not full at all.
but also wondering can it be due to the liquor as well??

what's ur routine of expressing? how many times a day? when is the timing? how long u pump each time for each breast?
my supply is getting miserable. i can get 3~4 oz if my breasts are engorged, but if i pump after feeding bb on both breast (which is last nite), can get only 1oz or less.
i would like to try to pump ever 3~4 hrly, but is diff to do so cos bb seems wanting to feed at hourly interval nowadays. and she already seems like she's not able to suck enough milk (or was it the flow too slow cos when i try using my hand, still got a bit of milk come out leh) and getting very frustrated at the breasts that she will cry while sucking and will keep latching & unlatching & latching & unlatching..... really wonder what's wrong with it.
furthermore, when i'm nursing her, i dun seem to feel the so-call "let down" reflex.
currently, i only pump 1x a day, which is most likely in the early morning or midnite or when she's asleep for more than 4 hrs in the late afternoon and breasts are engorged. as usual, i get abt 1.5x~2x more from my right breast than my left!!! *so sad* wonder how can i fix my left breast so much smaller than right breast problem if this carries on and most importantly of all, how can i
INCREASE my milk supply?? if i can't pump at regular interval??
