Breastfeeding save $$$
Barnabas August 18th, 2006When I was pregnant with Barny, I prayed that God will bless me with sufficient breastmilk for him. The first day, he suckles like a pro. That helps the “production” and the flow of the milk. So, I fully breastfeed him for the first 3 weeks until the day I went for the incision. Since then, it all depends on one side only. I was quite frustrated coz I wanna give the best to him. God knows my desire and blessed me with enough milk from that one side only.
When I started working, my mom mix with formula milk around 5 ounces and the rest with the milk that I expressed and I make sure I go home during lunch hour to breastfeed him.
With this, I only spend around RM40 (900g) a month or more on formula milk. If not it will be 900g weekly = RM160 (based on my girls milk intake then). Barny drinks more than my girls.
I can’t wait to the day when my left breast is completely healed and I can fully breastfeed Barny again. One more month to go…
Oh ya, this is the longest time I did not ovulate after giving birth.
