Birth story of Kolby 08-06-2015

After 2 weeks of bed rest,  I was out for my Gynae checkup. Today is my induce date, the day that I will be hugging and holding my baby prince. We left the house with my hopsital bag. I told my hubby that baby prince should be coming out soon as I can feel him very low. True enough, my Gynae checked and I was 3cm dilated. She inserted the pill to induce labour and we had about 3hr to admit to the ward.

Breastfeeding journey

Busy been a human milk machine for Kolby.  Ever since baby is born, I have been latching and pumping to meet his demand. Milk flow start at day 5, I faced bad engorgement until I cried in front of Charis and Gregory, I have forgotten how to deal with engorgement, lucky baby clear the lumps for me. Back to every 3hr pumping and endless night care for baby, I got a confinement lady to help me out, as baby sleep with me, I am awake when he stir a little. Now Kolby is 7 weeks old and I have managed to latch him at night, he has started to choose latching over bottle feed and when taking from bottle, he prefers fresh breastmilk and chilled breastmilk over frozen breastmilk. I have oversupply now and with his new preference, I don't know what should do with the frozen breastmilk. Hopefully when I return to work, he will drink more fbm.
