My moo-moo supply

Following my friend, Steven's advice, I've decided to post up photos of my milk supply. Not quite as impressive as Valin's (Steven's wife; Steve, pls wipe that smirk off your face) but it's still something. I'm not as dedicated as Valin and only express about a total of 25oz a day. I also don't keep record of how much I express each day; all I know is it's enough to feed Chris.


The milk is stored in milk bottles, and each bottle stores up to 5-6oz or 9oz.


This drawer in the freezer is specially dedicated for z milk (Bad photo, need better lighting)


I follow a system that's loosely based on FIFO but I also interlace the old milk, with some freshly squeezed ones. =) I consciously give Chris the new milk particularly when I'm sick so that he can benefit from the antibodies that my body produces.


AFter all the hard work, sad to say I think I'll be quitting breastfeeding soon. But I shall perservere to feed Chris exclusively on breast milk for at least 4 months. Sigh... just not as motivated this time around.

Circus comes to town?

No, the circus was not in town but Dennis sure looked like he was preparing for an audition with the circus - "juggling" to hold 2 spades with his neck while trying hard to keep a pail on his head.
Btw, he loves holding things with his neck....I wonder why...

Little Michelin

Haven't had time to write much so I've decided to put up some photos of my little prince instead. He's turned into quite a Michelin Man, hasn't he? =)
