Yes! You read it right!! This time round I hope I will be a great cow… for at least 6 months I hope. That what I said the last time with Cait but I only managed to feed like for less then 3 months I think. Even then, it really wasn’t easy…I don’t really know what went wrong maybe I wasn’t ‘hardworking’ enough when it comes to expressing or maybe I wasn’t well equip… I got worried and when my supply went low and I thought I was starving my baby and eventually gave in and gave her the bottle. She was taking 6oz by the time she was like 3 months. I could only produce something like 3-4oz…
Yes.. I drank all the soups and all… but still..
For all of you past and present successful cows out there… What’s your advise?
Right now I’m actually really contemplating on investing on a good breast pump… but very hesitant to spend that much money (just in case I wasn’t successful again..) I have forgotten how expensive these things were!! OMG!! Not sure if I should buy it now or later after I give birth. And which one to buy? Do I need all the bags and stuff?
Spoke to a friend of mine (who was breast feeding her baby till she was 2 ) that her daughter was just constantly on her breast as and whenever she cries… Is that how it’s suppose to be? Doesn’t breast fed baby also feed on a schedule? If that the case then how la..? How do Mommies who goes back to work after 1 month do it?



Hi there, bravo on your decision on being a moo.
I bf my 2 kids, what I can say is, dumb the bottle and formula, at least for the first 6 weeks.
Really feed day and night, based on bb’s demand, not the clock. You might feel like nurse like it never ends. LOL! But then, that keeps the milk supply a bundle.
2 weeks before I started working, I intro bottle with expressed milk. I did pump once my milk came in 3 days after delivery, and froze all, labeled by date and time.
Start by intro bottle once a day, by other person, not the mother. Then 2 times and 3 like that, during the working hours.
Sorry if my comment is super long. LOL
Hi Amy!!
Thanks for the great advise… I have a few more questions tho.. I’ll email you.
I bf my son till he was 18-month and I am going to bf my girl (now 3-month) till she is 2 if possible.
So far I never have problem with supply except the few days that I was sick.
What is important is, to have a very positive mind. Never listen to ppl around you telling you that you do not have enough milk. It is a demand and supply kinda thing so the more the demand the supplies will come. Remember to feed at night (at least 2 feeds) so there won;t be a long gap else you’ll get engorged breasts and your supply might dwindle.
I like my Madela Harmony (manual) pump!
I started pumping on the second day!
go for avent isis manual pump!!
