YES..this is becoming a baby blog but so what. hehe. Everybody talks about their child no matter who listens.
Anyway, the nite i delivered Luq he latched on straight away. He sucked..cup cup..i thot it was a miracle! Cos i read so much abt people having trouble with their babies latching on. i even took a photo but i'm not gonna post it here :p
Anyway at the hospital (we were there for 10 days) Luq was diagnosed with breastfeeding jaundice. In simple terms, i was not producing enough milk for him. The doctor advised me to supplement him with formula milk, which i did, and he loved. Although then he didnt smell as good as a complete breastfed baby. But i was happy that he was full and had a goodnite's sleep.
When we came home my mother was not too happy with the formula milk, saying i should keep on breastfeeding Luq and my milk will come. Plus Luq was only 12 days old. We have stopped the formula milk, and maybe restart when i am going back to work. I did read somewhere that one' milk supply will suit one's baby.
Which is rather confusing because some people's milk are over abundant. Like they have to pump several times. But when i tried pumping it was just like half and ounce which is not worth pumping, might as well give it straight to Luq who's almost all the time been hanging on my breasts!
Hmm confused mother and milk producer. Please advise.
