1895,
from now on, you should start bottle feed your baby with the expressed breast milk, instead of skin to skin, otherwise, how you can make sure, your infant will able to feed by bottle??
=> My baby was fed by bottle when she was in hospital for 'sun bathing'. So far, she does not have nipple confusion. However, she drinks more and faster using bottle.
Did you take enough calories everyday? => I eat a lot already. I take almost 2 bowls of rice per meal when I know that rice is good for producing quality meal and of course, lots of meat and vegetables.
Suppose, your breast milk should look like the diary milk, very watery but with slight white colour on it.
=> correct, only slight white colour.
Try to add "beans" to your diet, black beans with chicken rice 黑荳鷄飯, white bean+peanut+ dried squit+chicken feet soup "微"荳花生章魚鷄腳湯(章魚, 荳,果仁-->上奶一流), papaya+fish soup 生木瓜魚湯, fish stomach soup花膠湯
=> Taking 黑荳鷄飯 these 2 days. Had peanut soup last night. Will hv papaya soup tonight. I take ginger vinegar too. But I still cannot increase milk supply. I pump at 3:30 am and get 2-3 oz only.
you need to pump BF every 3 hours, therefore, you will have regular milk supply.
=> Do I need to pump every 3 hours though I am feeding my baby skin to skin. I tried in the past 2 days but hardly get 1 oz. I worry that I may not have enough milk for the baby if I pump it out.
After you offer the pacifier at evening time, see if she will stop sucking your nipple every hour. if not, then we will need to do something about it.
=> I sleep with her side by side these 2 night and she sleeps almost 5 hours. Only when I get up and pump milk, she knows that I am not around and then cries. So, I haven't tried pacifier yet.

One more question, my baby is 7 weeks today. She seems to get hungry every 1.5 to 2 hrs during the day and I feed on demand. Each feeding lasts 15-30 mins. Is the 1.5-2 hour interval too short? I am afraid my breast cannot produce enough milk in such a short period and turn into a bad cycle.
