A Good Way to Start A Day

Not with pooping, although it's not a bad way to start!

Max had another long night of sleep again. He took a bath around 9pm and started feeding around 9:20pm. Went to bed at 10pm and then around 2:20am, mommy woke up and heard Max getting restless in his crib. Mommy waited and waited for the cry so she can picked him up. But Max decided that he was going back to sleep. Mommy woke up again at 4am with her boobs hard as rock and Max was still sleep. Finally he woke up around 4:20am for a feed and went back to to sleep at 5am. . Right after feeding, Mommy was able to express about 140ml of breast milk - a record in the Chai household! One of the reasons for this surge in breast milk, is that the left boob finally stepped up to the plate and performed. Before, the RB was always the star player - producing results time and time again. The LB was the lactaionally challenged one - always under performing. But somehow, this morning LB woke up and decided to be a team player. Together, they produced satisfactory results! Maybe they can pump out 200ml per session next time!!?? That would be nice, wouldn't it? And although it was a major milestone for mommy, Max finished it in 10 minutes. Nevertheless, it was a good start to a beautiful day!

Speaking of pooping though, Max used to poop one big poop a day. About a week ago, he didn't poop for 2 days, and then he started doing 2 poops a day. Sometimes he poops right after mommy just changed him. He obviously got the pooping genes from dad who loves to poop just as much as he does!

***update: In the subsequent expressing session, we were able to express close to 100ml. Another record was made! This time, the RB didn't want to be outperformed by the left one, was extra diligent and hard at work. Mommy is so proud of both of her girls. Wish there was some kind of spa treatment we can treat them to
