13 months into breastfeeding and as much as I miss my sleep and hate following a schedule to pump, I haven't really thought of when I would be ending this journey. My heart finally hardened a little last week and I started dragging pumps. But Aaron started running a fever last night and refused food and bottle feeds. He only wants to be nursed. I guess I will do it when my heart is truly ready.
I’ve one thing that have always been bothering me for both my breastfeeding journeys therefore I decided to seek professional advice. A few weeks ago, I visited Ma Kuang to seek help. The last time I was at Ma Kuang was for the 2 children’s immunity. Despite making a conscious effort to breastfeed equally on both breasts this time. There still was a vast imbalance of milk supply in both breasts. I could yield 200ml at the right and 100ml or less on the left. During the session, I also discovered I have milk lumps that haven’t been cleared properly which could easily led to mastitis. I always thought Aaron and pumping cleared well enough! Physician Lim spent almost an hour massaging the lumps away! During the consultation, I was again diagnosed as weak and 凉. She prescribed some medication to help strengthen my body and help with smoother milk flow and supply. For anyone who need to seek lactation advice or help, can visit Physician Lim at Ma Kuang TCM Women's and Children's Clinic newest outlet at Square 2! She is a mother of 3 teenage girls, very patient and gentle. She made the session an enjoyable and enriching one!
