Oh Boy! They weren’t kidding when they said that breastfeeding is a job. This will be my first time to be a full-time breastfeeding mom. Le Potter-Head son was formula fed 14 years ago since I was still wrapping up my degree and worked immediately afterward. Unfortunately, I worked in Makati while my son was in Batangas; hence, it was best to go to the formula route. (Don’t ask me what formula he took, I honestly forgot already)
Anyway, aside from the skin-to-skin Baby Number Chew and I had since day one, the lactation nurse was very kind and patient enough and taught me some do’s and don’ts. Luckily, Baby Number Chew latched immediately, so we adjusted quickly. (tho she is very impatient and stubborn)
