I have reduced milk pumping from 3 times last month to 2 times in last 2 weeks of September (after didi turned 7 month-old)
once in the morning before i go to work, once in the evening.
7am -730am -150ml
730-8pm - 150ml
The supply is enough for didi , since he eats rice cereal twice , and i just feed him FM at night and in the early morning.
Then, staring from october, i have then reduce the pumping to once a day (evening after i come back from work), i can see significant drop in my milk supply now,., i can only pump out most 120ml..
so it has been goin on for abt 2 weeks.. then my supply dropped further.. i can only squeeze out 50ml.. at times. only 30ml.. so pathetic.. so i pumped for the last time on Sunday (17th October)..for 50ml. didi had that in the morning, for him, it's like drink water.. cos so little.. haaa
then, i stop pumping milk. i feel somehow nostalgic over the whole experiece.. yes, it seemed like just yesterday i started the breasfeeding journey.. endure endure endure.. then once im accustomised with the routine and im fine with it.. staying at home for 4 months helped a lot too.. as my job is just to feed baby..i really appreciate the bonding time with my baby through breastfeeding..this is very very priceless..
now, i think it;s time for my little boy to depend on solid and formula milk.. mummy got to take a rest and he has to go on without meas his source of food. mm.. hind sight.. im already thinking abt travelling .. alalalalal..
I hipe the whole 8 months of breastmilk really benefit my boy and of course myself.. i feel proud of myself for al the hard work to insist on exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of my boy's life.. i also feel thankful that the support i get from home and from work.. else it wont have happen that easily ..
and one thing abt the whole experience.. my boobs which expanded to E size.. now shrink back to my A+.. sob.. but i feel myself.. the lighter me.. hahahha..
