my little baby is now 5 months old at 8kg. She's still not drinking as much as she should have been at her age but i'm not complaining since she's growing well.
my chest freezer is also near her full capacity and she's drinking 2 months old milk. of course i'm giving her largely fresh ebm daily, just thawing a pack of old milk everyday to minimise expiry too soon. i'm wondering if i should start to cut down on my milk production. what i have in my freezer is definitely enough to last her the next couple of months but i am reluctant to stop. am i addicted to pumping?? definitely not. what i will miss is the closeness and bonding when she latches on.. i dont want that to stop.. but the supply has to decrease.. she played a major role in sustaining this breastfeeding career.. without her, i would have been plagued with blocked ducts.. and the supply would have never gone up this much. churning out close to 1 litre a day has gotta stop. unless she can up her intake from 600-700ml. looking forward to her starting solids next month!
here's some milestones updates over the last few months:
- flipped at 3 months
- actively grabbing at 3 months
- first audible giggles at 4 months
looking forward to more milestones in the next month!
