Episode of Block Ducts

(Above is my latest record which I achieve on 1-July-2011, 5am pump...overslept and didnt pump for ard 8hours.... got 280*3+140+70 = 1050ml or more)

I would think those who know me would love to kill me for discarding aways my excess EBM on a daily basis...
Currently am pumping at 7am, 11am, 4pm, 8pm, 12am...5 pumps yielding appx 600ml to 800ml of milk depending on how much time i have allocated myself to pump...


So is an average of 3Litre to 4Litre of milk daily...


No matter how hard i tried to feed both kids...I am always left with tons of milk to discard...


Gabriel drink 730am, 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm, 930pm, 1am, 4am.... appx 8 feeds as usually 4am feed is missed... 8X 140=1.12L


Raphael will consume appx 2 feeds of EBM, 2 X 140 = 280ML...


See...my excess is 3L- 1.4L = 1.6L, as little as 1.6L thrown away to 2.6L thrown away daily!!!


I had a few bad engorgement episode whereby now i am more religious to clear and more persistent to finish clearing ... esp ytd... I didnt feel it until after lunch..


the "blue black" feeling creeps back and it is damn bad...hurt very badly... i thought it was due to my water consumption...maybe i drink too much fluid...so feel the tingling sensation at 2pm....


by the time i went to toilet to express @4pm...to my horror i saw the big lump...its like a big piece of hard lump stuck there...wa faint...damn pain and i had difficulty clearing my right breast...even after 20mins stuck in toilet i couldnt clear it at all..


shit lor... walk also feel pain..move abit also pain...then when i reach home i cheong to pump milk... with my little phael standing there playing his game
wasnt able to clear... went to had a HOT HOT shower and keep pushing and massaging that stupid lump...very persistent...resort to using the california baby tub to roll and press hard...


haiyo...finally..after a long long time..i managed to unblock that lump...phew...

Who knows...after my that painful episode... I kana one more on Monday... 27-June-2011, that i had to go Mount E and seek a lactation specialist help to clear that stupid blockage...

It was terrible and i was in pain...great pain...when the LC saw me, she ask me "I poke for u or u go back do urself? I charge u noe?".... $ is not as issue when u are in pain...

Next was a pain which i will never ever forget and i must remind myself to drain the milk as much as i can..no playing cheat...no cut short...

now must remember to clear n clear...so who says got milk is good...
