Bottlefeeding the Baby Part II

I have already started pumping milk once a day two months after I gave birth. This is in preparation for me going back to work. Below are some useful information on milk storage. More details here.
1. It can last up to four hours at room temperature.
2. It can last up to 24 hours on the refrigerator.
3. It can last up to 3 months in the freezer.
4. It can last up to 6 months in a deep freezer.

I had more than a week's supply of stored milk already. But I still pump every four hours in the office.

More than one person will bottle feed the baby when I am at work. So we had to find the easiest way to bottle feed the baby. This has been our bestfriend, Playtex Nurser and Drop-ins. Euen latches easiest on the latex nipple. It is designed to mimic breastfeeding and reduce colic. Plus it is easy to clean and no need for sterilization.
This will just be thirty days. I hope Euen won't have a hard time adjusting.

Happy Three Months


The baby's 13.8lbs. now. Breastfeeding is 3 to 4 hour intervals now. Perhaps because her storage is getting bigger. Also, feeding itself is shorter, from 15-30mins to 5-10mins. I hope it's because my milk supply is bigger now and she's sucking efficiently.

In the morning when she wakes up, all she does is smile at you. She'll talk back and show her dimples. She enjoys playtime in her crib longer in the afternoons.

The last couple of weeks were tough since I went back to work. I know it's difficult for her adjusting from her routine. And there's nothing I look forward to, but to see her as soon as possible.

It is an extra happy monthsary because Shashing is here and will be here for all the next months to come!
Happy three months to our precious angel!
