Breastfeeding Challenge

Like koko Richie, mommy also struggles with breastfeeding. The first 3 days, Tromson received Colostrum from mommy's breast but he has different character from koko Richie.
He likes to sleep a lot and will ignore mommy's offer to breastfeed him that's why the production of breastmilk is not as much as last time.

Learn from the past, mommy was not so idealist with total breastfeeding this time round. Mommy was more concern with jaundice level if Tromson didn't receive enough milk. That's why in the last 2 days at hospital when the jaundice started to appear in his face, mommy realized that mommy's breastmilk was not enough, mommy asked the nurse to top up with formula by cup feeding and mommy chose Nan Pro 1

Thanks God, Tromson only has low level of jaundice as this few days the weather are not so good.
It's almost raining every morning that's why mommy never sunbathes him.

Back at home, mommy's milk is still not enough therefore mommy still needs to top up with formula after breastfeeding.
He can finish breastmilk from 2 breasts in one go and need to be fed another 60 - 75cc of formula.
And his jaundice has disappeared too.

Hopefully mommy's milk catches up with his need soon.
