Moo Moo Cow

Lil Isaac took revenge yday and latched non-stop. When the nurses brought him to me, he can latch for over an hour and still cries when I unlatch him and put him back into the cot. -.o" My mik hasnt kick in yet, only the colostrum and he appears to be latching well. However, I can't tell if he is really hungry thus latching or merely using me as a human pacifier. Either way doesnt sound good to me leh. I heard that milk suspply will only kick in on the 3rd day (today is my 3rd day) but may be later for some mummies. I duno how to meet his demand if milk comes in later.

Yday, each latched is at least 20 mins on each breast. In the afternoon, I latched him over an hour and sent him back to the nursery. Within the same hour, the nurse brought him back and said that he was hungry and crying for milk badly. They needed to conduct a hearing test on him and cannot do so with all his crying. I latched him for another hour but he was still rooting when the nurse came for him. He was the last baby liao and everybody was waiting for him and can no longer delay. No choice lor, I gave in to FM and asked the nurse to give him a little FM for only that feed so as to quieten him down and allow the hearing test to proceed. I dont feel lousy but more worried that I dont have enuff milk for him.

I latched Lil Isaac on after that FM supplement feed. I saw that they gave him 35ml. That must have been pleasing to him tummy. ;p

I still hope to TBF him and I find that it is easier to latch him on as compared to Lil Shauna, probably bcos the princess was a preemie and of course practice makes perfect. I can even blog or play game on my iPone while I latch him now. Lil Isaac suckles hard and is now able to open his mouth big big to accommodate my big n****es. Hohoho. I hope to feed on demand but am not sure how things will work out when I am back home. I feel like I am having a holiday now. The baby is mostly in the nursery and is brought to me at regular interval for feeding. No need to change diapers, hear his cries and pacify him when he cries. Then there is no need to entertain the princess. Hmmm.. I am not sure if I am prepared to face the hard work that is to come.

Jia you. I want to be a moo moo cow...
