amypekkle,
don't know how old your baby is. anyway, if you directly feed your baby, the amount of the milk baby took will be much more than how much you pump, because if only using the pump, it only replys on the action 吸 Of the pump, but if directly feeding, it needs both baby's 吸 和 吮 力 。 Also, you never know how much baby drinks directly from your breast, but it is true that if baby is still hungry, he will need more.
not sure if you only offer one side to baby, if after you offer one side, like 30mins, and the breast is very soft, then you can offer another side to him.
it should be enough. because sometimes he may be fussy if the milk flow is slow, so you have to wait or turn to another side.
also, eventhough you will go back to your office soon, you need not only feed him once directly,
you have to practise the time schedule at home as if you are in the office, so , may be you only need to give him bottle for lunch and evening, but you cannot feed him the bottle, you have to ask somebody to feed , so that he can understand if you are not at home, he has to use bottle.
Firstly,
Babies between 0-1.1/2 years have the sucking needs, they lack of securities, so they
want to satisfy themselves by sucking.
But for your baby, if he is less than 2 months, he may need breastmilk every 1.1/2 to
2 hours, because breastmilk is easier for him to digest, and he will find hungry
again after digestion. The whole digestion time is around 75 mins so it is not
so strange that he needs milk again between his snap time.
For your breastmilk, if it is watery, it is the foremilk( earlier milk ). But sometimes
When it is summer, the breasetmilk will contain more water than the fat, which the
quality will vary base on baby’s need.
The thickness of the milk, or if it is so watery, it does not represent that the milk does
not have nutriation. But it is a very wonderful thing that if mothers eat more food
with better nutriation, or the food will affect the quality of the milk, the milk will
be different. For example, if you drink more fish soup, your milk will be more
creamy. But anyway, don’t worry about this, the normal diet is enough and
your breastmilk is enough and very suitable for your baby.
My baby is almost 3 months. I offer only 1 side to him only. After feeding him, my breast becomes very soft, but I can still pump out 2-3oz. Does it mean that there is enough milk for the baby? Then should I offer the other side to him?
When he refuses to suck into my breast, I can't tell if he is too tired or he is already full. Even if he seems to want to suck something, might it be he just want to suck something to seek for security? How can you know if your baby is satisfied?
