A Good Change!


Today, 21 April, is the first day I did my post natal massage. At first I was still pretty afraid that it would be too painful. It turned out to be pretty good! Well, before we start massage proper, the lady helped me massaged my breast to clear all my milk. All the blockage was gone! Somehow, I think that changes everything to breastfeeding today. Somehow, it's no longer so painful to latch Rachael on anymore. 

Then, she massaged my whole body like a normal massage and ended off with a wrap around my flabby tummy. I do hope that the wrap works too! That's the whole point isn't it? 

Other than that, she told me I have a lot of milk actually. So I shd be pumping every 2h instead of pumping every 3h to prevent engorgement. Gosh! How to keep up with that. Anyway, I will try. 

So after the massage, I rested a while and started on my feeding journey. Rachael latched on like forever. Only giving me time to go toilet and have my meal. It's a good start because finally I don't have so much pain. 

Thank God for taking away all the pain and making everything easier today. I hope it will get even better as the day goes by.... 


That's a rather comical face of Rachael.
