Hello every BF mothers!
My baby was born on 23 March, He also 2 months plus, and I was direct BF for 1 months plus until I go back to work.
It was hard work at the 1st few weeks, my baby crying and crying even day and night, by the time he grow up and gain weight, I think it is worth to keep on BF for him.
Now I just pump my milk and bottle-feed my baby after I go back to work.
My baby stay in grandma's home now, I just direct BF when my BB go home with me(once a week).
I still enjoy the feeling of direct BF, that is different from pump breast milk to feed him.
Also pump milk is so inconvenient, I need to bring my electric pump and equipment when I go out to work or grandma's home, so heavy.
On the other hand, my colleagues and supervisor also support me during on duty, they always ask me when will I need to pump milk. I train myself to be more fexiable, I can await to pump milk ~6-8hrs (~1 oz/hr).
I plan to pump milk until my BB 3 months old, or keep longer because I still have enough breast milk for him.
Every BF mothers, try our best!
My baby is 2 months old now. Most of the time, I direct bf him. When I need to take care of my daughter (4 years old), someone else will feed him with bottle or formula.
There are problems now and then. In these few days, my son refuses to bf direct a few times a day. I get so frustrated. I will be going back work in mid June (half day until early July). I will continue bf is possible.
The Health Dept Breast Feeding Hotline is very useful. You can try.
vyvy,
I didn't have any stock of my milk, I just transport my milk before and after work, very busy la!
So I loss weight ~7-8lbs after back to work!

Thank you for your advice!
我因超谷奶,加上又唔舍得唔比阿B食人奶,現改為每日一餐人奶+四餐奶粉,阿B好似食得好咗!可能過咗厭奶期。
但飲過淡豆豉和食過乳鴿後,人奶真的少咗。
以前8->10個鐘會pump到8->10 ozs,而家得6ozs。
而家每日pump三次,留起兩餐入冰箱,等阿B第日回奶後都有補品食。
