My Breastfeeding Journal - Grace Khoo from Loh Guan Lye Hospital



Grace Khoo from Loh Guan Lye Hospital

My first baby was born 4 years ago. Like the other mothers, I was very keen to breast feed my baby but things just don’t happen, my milk supply was very low and I only managed to breast feed for one week due to stress and lack of support.   
And now, I have just delivered my 2nd baby 2 months ago, I promise to myself that this time I must try my very best to breast feed baby as long as I can. So I started to look for a good breast pump after I have delivered my 2nd baby. I saw in the internet about the good reviews for Ameda breast pump and without further delay I went to a few shops to look for the pump until one of my colleague recommended me baby paradise and I found out that the Ameda pump was cheaper compare to other shops.
Hence, I went to see Su Li and bought the breast pump. However, I was facing difficulties in using the pump at home. Su Li offered to guide me on the technique of pumping breast milk.  She even volunteered to come to my house to teach me practically. I was very impressed with her dedication and professionalism.  After Su Li shared her knowledge with me, I realized that we need to trigger for 3 milk let down reflex to obtain more milk during each pumping session. My milk supply increased gradually after following her advices.
I was happy that this time I could successfully breast feed my baby and she is growing very well. I would like to thank Su Li from the bottom of my heart for her help. Last but not least, I would like to advice those mother to be or new mothers, please try your very best to breast feed your baby as breast milk is the best gift for our precious babies.
