First week back at home

We were discharged from Thomson Medical on Tuesday afternoon around 12pm. Thank God Rachael didn't have to stay in hospital for jaundice. 

The first few days was horrible. I was frustrated with the lack of space and organization. Rachael had difficulty latching on, I didn't produce enough milk and the super warm weather definitely didn't help. Every feeding session ended up with her crying and my hands sweaty, making her clothes wet. 

I'm glad today my milk production has increased! I breastfeed her using the breast shield and top it up with expressed milk. Though I think she's still hungry... I guess she has to slow down a little on her consumption. I think I have to let her latch on for longer than 15min on each side so that she will be fuller. 

Here's some photos:

I sincerely pray that Rachael will continue to latch on well. She will be able to suck properly and get enough milk so that I don't have to let her drink formula milk anymore. Grace grace!!
