what keeps mummy xiu busy?
1. sleeping/resting -(6 hours)
2. eating - (2 hours)
3. carrying stella (6 hours)
4. watching stella ( 3 hours)
4. bathing stella (0.5hours)
5. feeding stella (3.5 hours)
6. making milk for stella - i.e. expressing milk (3 hours)
I used to think that producing sufficient breast milk is a very natural thing. If the baby feeds well, then you will definitely have enough. After all, it is a supply and demand equation. Realised it is not so simple. Last weekend, I was just about to applaud myself that I will be able to exceed her requirements by a bit so that I will not have to express milk every 3 hours. And be stuck to the machine for 3 hours!
Unfortunately, we just weighed stella this morning and she is about 4.9kg already. That means that she has to drink more milk! Sigh. I guess I still have to express every 3 hours to ensure that there is enough food for her.
