Provided one has understanding company and bossesIt's doable. I did it for 2.5yrs b4 he finally weaned. I am a FTWM too.
It's not all abt understanding company n bosses. I find that it's also very personal, i.e the thinking & attitude must be right too. It's shouldn't be another chore that the nursing mother needs to perform. I am extremely thickskinned, I will let my colleagues who sit ard me know I pump and I try to reduce the noise generated by the pump as much as possible. Also, lunching in became a way of life cos tat's probably the only time the least no of people are present in the office. I used to lunch and pump at the same time to cut down on the amt of time required. My bosses didn't complain abt my pumping cos I dun let the sessions get in the way of my work anyway.Provided one has understanding company and bosses

I have that same feeling too! I also tried the sacred tea before, but it doesn't work for me. I also didn't like the taste too. I used to take a lot of fenugreek, but soon it doesn't work for me too. And I found out that I smell like fenugreek when I took fenugreek pills.Same here! currently drinking sacred tea..and eating traditional foods that encourages increase in milk supply..i like it when mi breast feels engorged..but it doesnt last long..and when mi breast feels soft,i feel so insecure! i rather have a leaking breast than worrying whether mi baby is having enough too!=(
Ohh then wad do you eat/drink to increase?? Nowadays i just reassure miself by telling all women can make enough..thou i do get drifted to,'am i making enough?' but then i pull miself back...I have that same feeling too!

Yup,
I'm always kiasu too!
I also buy alot during Eu Yan Sang sale.
If u do not want to take chicken essence, can try to eat more fish.
It's jus that I'm really lazy sometimes, taking a bottle of chicken essence is much easier than preparing fish.[/QUOTE
I got many dozen from confinement. N I still got 6 btl of DOM, 2 btl of ginseng wine, 1 btl og Ginger wine.
Any brand will do?? Any sale coming u anytime soon?? i hope so..I bought several boxes when there is a big discount at eu Yan sang. Each box of six bots costs abt $11+ during discount. So each bot is less than $2.

How much does 1 chicken essence cost?? Isn't it expensive to take 1 everyday?
Precisely that's why i said I will to try it hahaHahaha. Fast food is junk and Chicken essence is 补,so is more worth while. But remember to drink more water as it maybe Heaty to take everyday.

I also got one question. Is it ok to drink DOM or Yomeishu when breastfeeding?
I usually drink before sleep.
But other mummies recommend I express the milk after drinking DOM, as it will affect the baby.
