thanks for the advice. I know a lactating breast is never truly empty, but the thing that worries me is after pumping, altho there's milk, the flow will be slow, rite? So, my baby
(who is unfortunately an impatient feeder) will get very fussy when she suckle and milk flow is slow
(due to me "emptying" it by pumping earlier)
Another question is, is it really true that after a while, i'm not supposed to feel engorged anymore, and that no matter how long the interval is, my breasts will feel soft? Becos now, i stop waking up in the night at 3am to pump while bb sleeps. But by 6-7am, when she wakes up for a feed, i am leaking so bad, my shirt is all soaked and my breasts are rock hard.
pls help. thanks.
