No lah, I dun mean he drank 20ml. I meant when I tried to express my milk in the 1st month, I got very little. So, I stopped expressing and do direct latch on instead. I din want to think abt how much milk I've got, so I just feed on demand, put him to my breast whenever he was hungry. It was really tough and tiring then. Even now, I dun express my milk, coz I dun want to stress myself to see how much milk I've got, I just latch on.
I've read tt some babies hv a stool movement after every feeding, some of them can go without stool movement for a few days. So not too sure on that. If u are worried, why dun u check with the PD on bb's wt gain. BF babies shd regain birthwt at 2nd wk, then gain abt 7 ounce every wk, until 3mths.
I know what u mean when u say cannot bear bb to be hungry. Can feed bb some formula. But if u feed too much, bf wun work, coz bb wun suckle anymore.
