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.

They make a perfect baby recipe as they are portable and come in their own easy to peel packaging. They are also good for the treatment of diarrhoea and constipation. Method: Peel a small banana and mash with a fork. During the first stages of weaning, add a little milk if necessary to thin down the consistency and add a familiar taste. However, Charis doesn't like it at all. Yuke! Refuse to try! Trying to escape from ...
