still pumping. i was so trigger happy with that pump, i was pumping at least 3-4 ounces from each boob by the end of the first week. when i went for my 10-day postpartum appointment, my doctor laughed at me when i said i was afraid i wasn't making enough milk.
already at 2 weeks old, gemma was drinking 3.5 ounces per feeding, about 10-11 times a day. she was gaining weight like crazy.
i was happy to be able to make so much milk. our fridge had bottles after bottles of milk. as a result of my constant pumping, i was also constantly engorged and in lots of pain.
let me tell you, if you've never experienced breast pain from engorgement, be thankful. sure, it's not as bad as labor, but it really really hurts.
gemma was a happy baby, sleeping lots, eating lots, pooping lots, rarely crying.
