To ALL breastfeeding mums: Never ever keep your milk to yourself! :p
Went to the movies on Thursday - the good ol' Indiana Jones movie. It was a 9pm show. The idea was that since i will be away from home for more than 12 hours, and that i don't have a place to store the expressed milk, i thought to myself... I'll just not express it for this one day. It's only one day... It won't kill...
OOPS! I was wrong! Dead wrong! Heard of engorgement? Well... yeah, i suffered from being naive. Anyway, just an experience to share... so for those new mums or soon-to-be new mums, if u r nursing your child and would like to continue giving breast milk to your child once you're back to work, make sure that you express it and store it well everyday (Get a minibar for your office if your office doesn't already have one). Before work (if you reach office really early), lunch break and after work are good times for expressing. So... there goes: Happy expressing!
I had to go to the toilet in the mall to ease the pain... it helps a little, but i was already feeling very very uncomfortable during the movie. *sigh*
A lesson learnt should be passed on! :p
