Quickly get a hot towel n place under ur armpit then massage towards ur nipple area and get your best pump to suck. Your baby can clear them for you.

Yes. But funny when I watch her on her tummy on the bumper playmat. Raise her head then tired or head too heavy cheek fall flat on the mat. So cute.
If my breast is hard in the morning it is pretty easy to pump out. Most of the times I lazy to massage no hot towel too
Bought the Nuby breast aid kinda good to use but I damaged it by pouring water too hot on it. That day I put the warm pad under bra and a min later felt leaking.this product meant for hardworking people coz need to soak it 5 mins.
I only keep trying to adjust the flange to suck and stimulate letdown. Once got letdown u can feel the lump is gone. Unless the lump is hard then I just latch my baby next feeding session to clear it.
Recently I suspect the standard flange I'm using too big. But they say most moms can get better result using bigger flange.
Since u got sufficient supply now why not u train ur body to pump at 4 hrs interval?

Still thinking. I figured I can get her daily need in 3-4 pumps, the rest for store. But what I fear is what will happen when I go back to work. Scared no time or too tired to pump.If my breast is hard in the morning it is pretty easy to pump out. Most of the times I lazy to massage no hot towel too

I m trying to get back her previous feeding timing. Now I am planning out so that it fits my timing instead. Thus changing from demand feeding to scheduled feeding. For today, she managed to sleep her usual 5hrs. True bt worrying in the day to pump in the end no letdown. Anyway I ve tried placing warm towel on the breasts before pumping works to speed up the letdown. But at work I will drink a cup of hot tea it s an alternative. Works for me. I finally understand how it works. Hope I am right.
Anyway I am pumping almost after every feeding. I can get a bottle from her last feeding which she only drink abit from one side just to fall asleep, at 3am and after her 5am feeding. The daytime pumping is just to stimulate so as to increase my milk supply.

Between 10-12am. The trouble is I m still doing direct latch on mostly. So I cant figure out how much she actually drink each day. I thought of collecting 4 bottles of ebm and try it out on her just as advised by lsy so i told hubby abt it but he dun want me to fall sick again and stressing over not enough ebm. But I want to feed her bm if poss so we ve decided to try it out first. If it s taking a toll on me, we ll feed her fm during my working hrs and direct latch when I am with her. Thank God he s understanding. But of cos had a good talk on how to deal with the problem first.

Ya I should be grateful. Dun need to bother about others la. Make myself headache only. Hehe.
Lsy I ve been doing direct latch on so I m so not used to pumping. But hubby got do research and advised me to do this n that so far I ve understand how to tackle the problem. Thank you for being vvv informative. I think i am like ur hubby didn't bother much to research whereas my husband is like u. Hahaha... So what I can say is I didn't have a strong bond with my baby first 2 mths only recently we have developed a stronger bond thus makes me more concerned and wants the best for her if possible.
U will need ur hubby help to do that over weekend. Just remember ur pump session should be equal or more than number of feeds.
Same here but I manage to cheat her couple of times d. Never waste.my girl opp. These few days, she refused bottle feed. Cried till super loud when I gave her bottle. Checked teat etc everything ok then realised when latch she immediately ok and suck. Sometimes I tried cheat her by latch and immediately bottle. Succeeded once only
Just bought nuk bottles classic and S1 teats. Hope she's ok with it.
So far she's taking all teats avent, dr brown, nuk.. haha trying to confuse her with all nipples.

Hi mummies
Do you guys thaw ur ebm from freezer at refridgerator? With all the other food in the fridge. Will it spoil the ebm? As in affect it s smell and etc. Since my daughter has a cluster feeding a few times daily so I thought of thawing the express bm and informed my mum in law as to how much to pour the desired amt and feed her accordingly.

Ebm can be kept for 3 days in the fridge, why not u pump and don't freeze them yet. Pour n warm from there is easier. Once frozen ones being thawed they must be consumed within 24hrs. A bit waste if u r not able to bottle feed all.
I've messed up my freezer stash too coz now my girl drink 80ml and I freeze 200ml per pack. Infant care need at least 4 bottles for 12 hr = 320ml. 1 pack not enough 2 pack too much ...aiks
Think I will thaw 1 pack + fresh ebm to make up the amount.
