EBM Stock

Alhamdulillah, finally I managed to restock my EBM(expressed breast milk) for almost 5 days.
Usually I only can get about 14oz perday for 2 pumping sessions.But its still not meet the demand since Umar drinks about 18oz everyday.So i have to top up another 4oz from the existing stock.After all, my existing stock will be decreased from day to day.

During a long weekend(plus CNY), I keep on pumping even Umar is direct breastfeed when I'm at home.To fullfill the demand, I need to eat extra and drinks a lot of water and of course increase the pumping session. Huh...tired...but when I see the stock in the fridge, wahhh...feel like in heaven..huhuhuhu.....almost every half an hour I opened the fridge to see all my EBM.Hahahahha....going crazy with my EBM....


Actualy, the best time to make a lot of EBM stock is when we are in maternity leave or confinement day. On that time, our prolactin hormone is quite high and our attention is just only for our baby. During my confinement period,I can get about half of my fridge storage.
Unluckily I didnt have the pic.My hubby accidentally deleted the folder.
I even can give Muadz drinks my EBM due to lack of storage since my previous fridge is one door fridge.Then I decided to change 2 doors fridge.Easy to manage and no need to defrost when the snow is thick.

Actually to be a nursing mom is a commitment.Need to buy a good pump(but now I only hand expressed since Im too lazy to wash the parts),4-5 pumping sessions per day(but mine is only 2 sessions due to lazynessss).
For me ,there's the only way to appreciate our child since almost 12hrs working everyday(plus extra working hours and damn traffic jam).And Praise to Allah that until now my lil Umar is still fully breastfeed for almost 12 months.

The best thing for being a nursing mom is.....I can shoppe extra since the allocation for formula milk is mine. Huhuhuhu....best kan....
So, breastfeed your baby and you have an extra money for shopping...yippee....
