re : BF
because BF (sucking) is difficult than formula (bottle), so they'll feel tired to suck, heib's case, she tried to suck for 5 mins then rest, 10 mins later, cried & requested to suck again (I guess the hole is too small then others), so first month, I was very tired (woke up 6-8 times in the midnight).
Her schedule for the 1st month
10 mins for sucking
10 mins later, she requested to suck again
10 mins for sucking
10 mins later.......
repeat & repeat.
So... I feel your case is normal. Just try to give patient! & BF can't compare w. formula, not really feel full all the time, so has to bf very frequently!
我反而 suggest 你去報埋宣幼喎.....因為一來宣小水準唔差得過 Kentville, 二來佢小學係英文小學, 好搶手, 雖然唔係包直升而且仲係唔會好高 (好似收 30-40% 左右宣幼學生), 但起碼好過根德園冇連繫小學, 學費亦冇 Kentville 咁貴...另外, 你仲有個細, then can take him in as well.

re : BF
so.. I would suggest you to keep direct BF & pump, that can let it smooth (from thin to thick, I mean the width), increase quantity.
I also wanted to give-up on 1st month, always queried why my friend can pumped very easy & suck for 20 mins then she could took a rest (like formula's schedule, every 4 hours). But afterwards, I asked other experienced BF moms on this matter, someone was same case to me. Then practise & practise, got good progress, very smooth later on - pumped 7 oz in 10 mins (but of course you must keep patient la).
That's why so many moms can't continue to BF as they got suffer in the 1st month! But my experience told me that nothing can't be done, the decision is on your hand!
