jecobie lost half a pound in a span of 1 week. instantly, bumalik yung fear namin na baka dehydrated si pistoy. =( this was between his 2nd and 3rd week. usually ata, first 2 weeks lang dapat naglolose ng weight. then dapat he'd gain it back.
we tried something kasi eh... we resorted to direct feeding pistoy. for a few days, laging sa akin dumedede si pistoy, save for 3 feedings na formula sya. kaya lang, he started getting fussier. naisip lang ni je na timbangin si pistoy, and yun nga, he lost weight.
ok, back to the original plan. magpa-pump ako ng milk, and feed pistoy sa bottle. mas madali, kasi marerecord namin yung amount ng kinakain nya. i know the diaper wetness should be enough indicator if he's getting enough to eat. pero for our peace of mind, we'd do the quantifiable solution.
btw, i tried the electric pump again and it's working! =) akala ko nagtapon na kami ng pera eh. hehe! siguro pag engorged, dapat yung manual... pero pag normal na, yung electric na. i actually got more milk in a shorter span of time (120ml in less than 20 minutes). the weird thing is, yung right boob ko, ang hirap mag-express pag sa pump. pero pag si pistoy ang naka-latch, nakakakuha naman sya. =P
i'm coming to realizations about this whole breastfeeding deal. i'd like to gather my thoughts muna before writing something down. the milking station will reopen in an hour, and i'd like to get some shuteye muna. =)

hello, musta na ang sessions nyo ni pistoy? ok pala eh.. nakaka 120ml kana :) best if i-latch mo pa din si pistoy, para mag-stabilize ang supply ng milk mo and para masanay pa sya. :)
ReplyDeleteit slowed down eh. i wasn't pumping as often kasi. i'm going to plan C. hay.
