#13, i dont hv a fixed schedule yet but i started using formula since last night as i do want to hv more rest, i fed him with mama milk then supplement with formula, then i went to sleep around 2 am until ~7 am this morning. Today i went for postnatal check up, thus i asked my maid to feed him with the pumped mama milk (3.5 oz). You r very good enough to pump 3 oz as i can only pump ~3.5 oz in a day from multi pumpings :cry: I really think I cant meet his demand, i feel sad becos if i give him 1 oz formula, i will hv 1 oz less mama milk to meet his demand.... but i hv no choice now as my bb is a big one, he needs more than i can supply, all ppl around me ask me to give him powder then i hv no say lah, i dont want to make him hungry too! :cry:
Don't feel sad about having not enough milk! I can only pump around 6 oz per day. I give my BB formula mainly. Anyway, I will try my best to give my BB some milk everyday. It's better than none. You are not the one and there are a lot of mame working together with you.
I have a very bad mood and cried also. With the new BB, its seems that I can not give full attention to my elder girl as before. I really want to be as close as before with my 1 st child. However, time is not allowed. My maid told me that she want to quit because of my mother (who came to visit me from overseas for these several mths)...my mother also complaining about my maid attutidue...make me crazy...
My maid used to be good... everything came togehter made me worry. My husband keep on asking me to relax... Thks god that my new BB is very kind to me, she always sleep.
#13, thks for your sharing. It very good to know that I am not the only one who feel bad. Let's support each other!
This a is sign that your BB is about to be born, as your EDC is near now. But don't worry, you just need to observe first, no need to go to hospital yet.
I totally agree with u....peer support is important. Try to talk to your mom when the maid is not home. Explain to her that your maid is important to you and it's another risk (time comsuming) to hire a new maid.....it take times to get along with a someone you don't know. Ask you mom not to give your pressure. Talk to your husband and let him know the situation and ask him to solve the problems.
Now, I will surf the internet during my mik pumping time. Last night, many friends came to visit the baby and it found a bite scare or uncomfortable with so many people....she cried and need us to hold her.
