I Have Milk!

Nursing this time round seems a lot easier because:-
1) The amt of time spent on each round of expressing is significantly shorter (20min Vs 45min. Kudos to the double pump!)
2) I have a larger supply and hence the absence of anxiety
3) I am motivated

I am really thankful to have enough not only for Ashlynn but also Adri. Both girls are on total breastmilk. Yes, Adri too!
Adri doesn't mind forgoing her formula milk in exchange for mummy's milk (known to her as the "good milk") and she drinks a good 300ml twice a day, once in school and another before she turns in for the day. The transition didnt happen overnight. Like what all other mummies would have done, it was done gradually, with an increasing amount of mummy's milk replacing the formula milk each day.

Breastfeeding undenibly takes a toll on my physical self but as parents, aren't we always sacrificing? I'm motivated because this time round, I am working hard for both my precious!
I aim to nurse for a year. Do you think i'll have the perserverance?

This is one-third of my excess supply.
