A day after delivering my boy, the lactation consultant came to my room to teach me how to express colostrum. With her help, I managed to express colostrum and she fed it to my boy with a syringe and learnt how to let my boy latch. On discharge day, the lactation consultant dropped by again to guide me on how to breastfeed again. This time round, she showed me the football position.

4 days post-partum, my milk supply kicked in with the help of motilium prescribed by my doctor. I first noticed it when I was wiping myself down. The first time I pumped, I managed to yield 15ml after pumping both sides for 15 minutes each. I was elated as it was yet another milestone and I could feed my boy with breastmilk! I remember a day before that, my boobs felt heavy and hard even though I had no milk.
