Cranky Baby

I finally found the cause of my cranky baby refusing to latch at the side. Seems that its because of my milk flow is too slow for her.. Reading from this site

http://www.pamf.org/children/newborns/feeding/understanding.html

But whats puzzling is that im exclusively breastfeeding so the conclusion is not enough liquid or baby never latch well?? But since birth Rislin got this symptom as stated in the site:

Sucks and swallows well for a few minutes and then seems lazy.

Wants to suck right after feeding.

Would suck any time.

Feeds are constantly.

Eyes shut. Signs of REM sleep. Still firmly attached to the breast.

Eyes wide open. Looks worried. Little effort to suckle. Long pauses.
(but her eyes close most of the time)

only recently i face this problem of:
Pulls off breast, screaming. Flails arms. Attempts to relatch.

So i think my solution now is either getting a lactation consultant or take fenugreek to increase my supply.But always when she unlatch away i will go press the nipples and it seems like there is still alot of milk..

Major headache on what to do sigh..I dont want to give up.. I persevere so far with cracked, sore, bleeding and even nippple skin peel till its all raw pink.sigh...

Anyway moving on.. 2days ago went to the jurong ntuc for about 2hours to walk for a bit. And bought quite alot of things back but we`re narrowing down to Rislin`s items.. Bought her toys, 2 for $20.. considered cheap imo but i cant justify the price 3 tiny thing for $10..

And bought her a romper and a dress..

When i got home my sweetie is still awake so i changed for her into the newly bought romper.. she looks so sweet in it.. I also bought a few, no i should change to alot of clothes for her from Old Navy & Gap from US. And i bought only one miserable piece for myself. And i spend like $120+ on that solely.. -gasp- But take it as that she has not much clothes ba cause i bought de is for 6-12mths..

Anyway heres her wearing the cute romper.

Its like 5am now and shes so awake, she seems to have a habit of waking up at 4am or 5am then sleep back a while later.. hmm.. that sounds like a potential problem..

And she recently like to grab things.. Theres once where she grab the pillow and she cover the pillow over her and she started crying.. haha my silly girl..

A few pics of me and my darling

i love love nursing her... i wouldn`t give her up for the world.

And to end off, this pictures were taken a few minutes ago with one of her tiny toy..
