Feeding a baby is an art in its own right!
We had made the choice to do exclusive breastfeeding from the time I became pregnant, but never did I really expect to be successful..
Well... I am glad to report that Madison is doing fine at the moment, so I am hoping to continue for as long as I possibly can... not having to work fulltime plays an important part in being able to breastfeed well at this stage though, I feel...
Today, I am giving away my first lot of expressed breastmilk that I had so painstakingly collected in April. We had met up with the lactation consultant Yen Ping at 6 weeks, only to be told that I should have started pumping regularly to get used to the idea of pumping in case I needed to go back to work. So we put the money down and purchased the Avent Isis Duo pump, which I then had to diligently use since it COST US SO MUCH!
Now the freezer is getting full so I decided to get rid of the first lot of milk... sob. sob... I think I should donate it to our pet dogs at the Novena house if they would have it!
