Breast milk

During the hospital stay I was still unable to produce any breast milk. After we were discharged I continued to try many ways and techniques to squeeze and massage myself so I can breast feed him.

For 3 days there were nothing at all - I tried the manual and electrical pump. My breast were starting to feel tender and engorge and pain came along too. Then came the 4th day, just as I was done with the pump for the day, I saw a tint of milky droplets!!! Yes! I finally made it.

I tried to breastfeed little Andrew but I am still unable to master the latch on. Until today I have yet to get the latching on right. But I will not give up, I will continue to let him try. We shall work towards more breastfeeding! o(^_^)o
