my breast milk story

it started out slow
every little drop counted so much
every little drop was so precious

then as more milk started coming in
i was happy
i could finally pump out a decent amount

as baby grows
i started to worry
what if i dont have enough?
the most i could pump then was 50 ml

i read books, mags, internet on how to improve
and i hanged on
she drank from my breast
i still pumped
then all of a sudden
i could pump at least 80ml each time

but i was not satisfied
some women i read about can pump 150ml
that was my target
so i persevered

almost every 3 hrs i pumped
there was once, there was nothing
i panicked
i continued striving
then finally
today

I DID IT

my next target?
want to pump more such that
one bottle to store is not enough

too much to ask for?
well
baby will continue to grow
and someday
she will want more
i have to persevere
every drop of breast milk counts

as she grows
the more she can drink each time
the longer she will sleep
the more rest i can get
the less stressful i become
the happier i am

the end
