More Milk Issues

Mummy is about to give up on breastfeeding as I am not able to cope with taking care of Ashlynn, pumping milk, washing clothes, sterilising and washing, household chores etc. Moreover, supply continues to drop. Feeding formula milk is much faster and convenient. But daddy encourage mummy to continue and suggest that we get the medela PIS advanced. This is a dual electric pump and mummy can get almost the same quantity of milk in half the time compared to before. Moreover, the parts are much easier to clean and assemble. Mummy also got a easy expression bustier which allows to pump to be attached to the breasts and mummy can go hands-free! But heart pain coz it cost a good $679! There goes part of mummy's performance bonus... With this investment, perhaps mummy will be brave and try for no. 2 in a few years time. Heard that daddy? :)

Ashlynn's face is much better now. It turned out that she is suffering from eczema. We went to two PDs and finally the medication from the second PD is more effective. Baby's medical bills are so costly. Just a visit to the PD and getting a tube of cream plus cradle cap shampoo can cost $132. It is really not easy to raise a child. No wonder we get the baby bonus.

Will post more of ashlynn's pictures soon.
