Express milk

Hi! I am a new member.

Very glad to hear that you're still breastfeeding. Most working mothers i believe would have already given the moment they started working. It is very sad to hear that because breastmilk is no comparison to whatever "Gold Medal" brand there are in the market.

Here's a tip. In order to maintain your supply of milk, you're advised to pump every 3 hours or 4 hours at least. Likewise, if your bb is feeding on solely breastmilk you should be pumping every 2 hourly. Freeze it in the freezer and bring along a coolant bag with you at all time to keep the milk fresh. Stock some at home so that it can be given whenever there's insufficient supply. Don't forget to label the bottles stating the date you pumped.

Your milk supply will reduce eventually if you leave it long because there's no stimulation to the breast and at the end of the day there won't be supply for your baby. Set a time for yourself to do it at the same time every day to maintain the supply. If you're to rush for a meeting at that time, pump before you leave.

Have fun meanwhile because the bonding between you and bb is a wonderful experience.

My kids (age 10, 4+ and 2+) are very attached to me up till now. It could be because of the bonding we had when they were little. All 3 were breastfed till 1 year.

Hi dear,

I'am still breastfeeding my baby, who just past her 1 year old birthday!
Now, i only feed her at night before to bed and early morning onces she wake up. I only pump once a day as my milk is decresing too. i found taking in lots of fluids will help to maintain the volume of milk, even though not as much as before. after each pump, will take 1 big glass of warm water, sometime milk or juices instead. got a breastfeeding tea from "The baby loft" and it works for me. maybe you can try it too...

cheers!!!
