My BM supply


Can't believe my milk supply is coming in so well. Actually I'm not sure too how come I manage to have so much storage of milk. By right baby drinks them all and at most will only have some extra to store. Feel so proud of myself this time that I've successfully produce more than enough milk for my baby Olivia. Having said that, I hope she would not refuse to drink frozen milk otherwise all these would end up being wasted.

Olivia started drinking 4oz at 5th or 6th week. 


This is as of 27th June - Olivia 2 months old.

My milk production

Breast feeding is definitely not an easy journey. I told myself that I would try my best to give Olivia breast milk at least up to 6 months old. Olivia is 6 weeks old now and she is fully breast fed. My supply is enough for her. It takes a lot of determination and sleepy hours to do so. Pumping milk every 3 hours and slowly I extended  from 3 hours to 4 hours so I can get some extra hours to sleep. 

This is my storage so far. I hope I can express more milk each session so I can have more storage and I could stop pumping sooner. 




Now I can yield 5-6 oz milk each session. My right side usually can yield more than the left. I'm hoping I could yield 10oz each session then I can accumulate more storage in my freezer. Not sure how long more I can last to continue the pump session especially the midnight session. It is really quite dragging to wake to pump. So so so sleepy.
