Calyce is getting more lazy...

on latching nowadays.. she doesnt spend much effort on sucking out the milk from my breast but will suckle till she is tired and then stop and returning to sleep.  She rarely cries for milk immediately after but will wake up for milk earlier for feed at times.. but sometimes during the day, she can sleep for so long that she doesnt even wake up for feed and we have to wake her up for her milk.. initially she performs better at suckling and will drink supplement from bottle if its not enough for her.. but recently she just concentrates on suckling and then returning to her slumberland.. this is making me worried as i have no idea how much she drinks from latching and also worried that she may not have enough milk to drink.  When she gets home, we increased her intake from 60ml to 90ml.. however, now at times, she will fall asleep even when on bottle and could not complete all 90ml at certain feeds which makes me worry as well. 

I cant continue on pumping as it turns out that we cannot cope with two kiddos at home.  While my MIL is busy settling the older one in the evening and night, i tried to pump with the little one beside me, but she cannot stay quiet through the 30 min and will start to whine 5-10 min into my pumping session.  As such, i have to give up my pumping and cuddle her in order to pacify her.. and since now she is getting more lazy at latching, i guess very much sooner, i will need to stop breastfeeding altogether and she will need to be on full formula feed..

Dear and I also spoke on this some time back and agreed that we may not be able to cope much on the weekends as Dear have to settle the older one and i have to settle the younger one together with household chores and cooking.  It may be better for me to stop earlier and spend more quality time with the kids than to stress over pumping of milk and getting frustrated over it ..
