I am back again. My baby left the hospital three days after me. And I am extremely busy since that day. Also, because I will stay at my Mum’s home for the first month (at least); therefore, I have no time to login to the BK. And the frequent may decrease.
BTW, I would like to share my experience in breastfeeding with all of you. Hoping that you all can success in breast feeding as it is really good for both your baby and yourself.
I am extremely busy and exhausted in the first night stay with my baby as she got up SIX times for food that night. Therefore, I chose to give her one meal formula in the next mid-night. In the third night, I pumped the milk out and give her one meal in bottle. Since the 4th night, we both have adopted each other and now I can sleep 6 hours per night. As she will sleep for 3 to 3 & 1/2 hours between each feeding. So, I usually feed her at around 11:00p.m. to 11:30p.m., and she wake up at around 3:00a.m. to 4:00a.m. and wake up again at 7:00a.m. to 8:00a.m.. Hoping that I can cut off her mid-night meal within a short period of time.
For the day time, she has also changed her frequent request (per half an hour) to two hours request, therefore I can try to take a rest in between. Anyway, it is really a big improvement since our first day.
Besides, because of breastfeeding, my tummy has almost returned to normal. It is now looks like a small tummy that most of the girls have (I have no tummy and even a negative one before pregnant). Hoping that I can get back my normal body shape in a short period of time. However, because I am still “sitting month”, therefore I cannot keep my weight, I will try to loose it after this first month. There is still 1x lbs I have to loose.:-P
Hope the above can encourage those Mummies who have difficulties in their breastfeeding. Try your best, and believe that all of you can do it!!
I,with my bb girl, go back home la. She's 3.45kg. I BF her ga, 5th day la, and she request for milk for every 1.5 hrs. Hope it will be better later la.
BTW, Anita, how many milk u can pump out now, u pump the milk every time finish feeding ur bb? and feed the bb by pumped mild during mid-night? It's a good idea bo.
