Milk Supply...and cheeky + naughty boy

Little boy now loves to lick and chew his fists, his hands, mummy's hands, daddy's hands, EVERYWHERE...even our clothes...his clothes....always like to stick out his tongue and looks very cheeky. I suspect he's teething cos he's drooling now...need to buy a bib soon (oops is that mummy's excuse to shop)....when we carry him, he likes to brush his face against our clothes....and he also likes to rub his face until red red....wonder if its because he's feeling itchy? Poor boy has heat rashes on his neck too, so we are applying medical powder on it hoping the redness will go off.

This mini wrestler of mine hates to drink milk....really wonder why? He will shake his head from side to side trying to shake the teat off, how naughty! Either that he'll just cry or play with the teats, eventually pushing it outta his mouth.

Well i guess my milk supply has been rather unstable these days, but in general it has dropped ever since i started work.

Alot of reasons i can think of....

1) Ever since that food poisoning episode, my MS has dropped like crazy. Now been pumping 7hourly and all but never reach 300ml+ as before. Besides i don't feel engorgement already (call for celebration? or NOT?)...the most recent time i had engorgement was on sunday (but it was after a period of 9hours...9 HOURS!)...sometimes i barely scrape through the 200ml mark liao...sighz...
2) STRESS. Yes stress over work, home, everything....stress to pump at work, stress to bring those pump things everyday....basically stress.
3) Lack of sleep. Imagine having less than 7hours of sleep everyday. Long gone were the days of 7hours sleep. Now i'll be thankful if i have 6hours of sleep. Sleep late cos have to pump, wake up early cos have to pump.
4) Headache causing agent. What the....i've been having headaches for like every other day. V pain....suspect due to reason no.3
5) WORK. WOrk and work....TIRED!!
6) Kyan don't seem to appreciate breastmilk and breastfeeding as much liao...My mentality and motivation to breastfeed is actually bruised by quite a fair bit. I believe a positive mindset is important for maintaining milk supply, if not worsen it.
7) Shorter pumping time and longer pump intervals. How the heck can i find the time to pump more than 30mins per session each time at work? Limit to 30mins per session, sometimes i "eat" abit over the time, but generally 30mins should be appropriate. Cannot be pumping at work for too long.

Now it makes me think perhaps worrying over pumping at work is a needless issue if i cannot breastfeed anymore should my milk disappeared one day. Its sad ya, but i cannot deny that day might come, judging from my life right now. Its just kinda hard to maintain that level of milk supply which i used to establish when i was in confinement and maternity.

But kyan definitely does not understand. He is still wasting lots of milk...sighz....

Re: Food poisoning. I thought i have fully recovered but apparently i still have on and off terrible stomach pains. Drats! Means my tum tum really not 100% recovered. I better abstain from sinful foods. BIG SIGH.
