It is getting difficult

to feed Cepheus nowadays, he needs to be burped more often and will fall asleep halfway through a feed.  He will wake up crying fiercely for milk and when you start feeding him, he will just suckle abit and then went back to sleep, displaying his famous pout and refuse to open his lips.  In the end, it seems like every hour is a feeding time, because he would have half of his milk now and then anther half an hour later.. I am really getting out of patience already.. I have not had any sleep since last night, when he cries for milk at 2am, and then i have to express out my milk at 3am, and then he ask for milk at 5am again and i have to express at 6am.. I was as stone as a rock this morning when i tried to feed him at 7 plus am when he cries for milk again when his daddy finally woke up to help me with his feeding while i crawl back to bed.. only to wake up at 9am to express again (never really sleep anyway)..was really stress and pek chek over his feeding, have told my MIL before not to let him sleep halfway through his feed but i think he already got used to it and never finish his milk nowadays.. it makes my expressing a tough one and my supply is running low, it was never high in the first place, i only manage to get 110 ml to 120ml max these days.. i don't know why some people just have plenty and they refuse to feed breast milk while those like me who have so little are crying for more milk, and i really felt like giving up and just feed him with formula, why make myself so 'kang kor'! Talked to Dear Dear this morning, and we agreed that i will continue to breast feed for another month, before stopping completely or whenever my supply ran out, i would have planned to stop prior to returning to work anyway, i would not want to have meeting halfway and met with engorgement or telling my boss or colleagues that i need to go pump!

Breastfeeding is never easy...but if you hang on, you will realised that time flies very fast and soon your have bf like 6 months etc...

I also feel like giving up at times due to stress and tireness. Also need to make time for the older 2 so must strike a balance.
