How are you? I quited the pumping during lunch time, ie just pump the milk out in the morning and before go to bed. The milk supply dropped a lot.. now I have to add 1 -2 bottle of formula....., how about you? still full breast feeding?
You are doing it very well!!! driect feeding him 4 times a day!!!!!!!!!!!!
My milk supply drops so frequently!!! Nowadays, I pump all my milk out as she does not like direct feeding any more, I guess that she find it too SLOW and maybe it is too "HARD" compare to drinking milk from the bottle!?!
Nowadays, I can only pump about 12 oz (very little!!!!)
Her Feeding Schedule:
6am -> 6oz BM
9am -> 8oz BM
12pm -> Congee 1 big bowl (our rice bowl)
3pm -> 8oz Formula
6pm -> Congee 1 big bowl (our rice bowl)
9pm -> 4-5oz Formula
--------------------------------------
2 congee; 14oz BM; 12oz Formula -> 26 oz
As the BM supply is getting low, it will be gradually replaced by Formula......
I am still bf my son now as well. However, there is pressure from my family members .... they want me to quit and add formula ... they suspect the nutrition in mama milk is not enough and formula is enriched with Iron and other nutrition ...
I am still struggling at the moment ... I very much enjoy 埋身 bf my son ....
The current feeding schedule is as follows:-
6:30-7:00am direct bf
9:00am half bowl of cereal
12 - 1:00am 1 bowl of congee
6:30-7:00pm direct bf
8-9:00pm one bowl of congee
10:30pm direct bf
