(sorry lah, i am not married and a guy somemore. hehe..) I was staying with a friend when I was working in another city and the MIL came over to cook etc, and she was always cooking shark meat. My colleague now pumps in the office, and then fills them up into bottles and put them in the fridge. Our lunch hours now changed to coincide with her timing. hehe..

I had milk problems in the beginning too, baby was jaundiced. I was able to increase my milk supply in the first few weeks by pumping for 5-12 min (yes, I counted down every min!) after I BFed my daughter. I did this about 1-3 times a day (that's all I could do...she was nursing like every 2 hours!). I started to see an increase in my supply after doing this for 1-2 weeks. I also took fenugreek - which helped. I found that different batches had different effectiveness...perhaps some batches were older/stale. You know you're taking enough when your milk and sweat smells like fenugreek (like maple syrup.) Good luck. I sympathize - been there with BFing.

Sleep all you can now for you will not be getting your 8-hr sleep for a very long time after the baby pops :p As for the fish soup, I suggest not simmering for so long - 1 hr should be enough, else the fish will toughen. Mine did. Dunno why the recipe said simmer for 2-3 hrs. Have fun! Hi Mina, this must be an exciting time for you!!!

Hope mom and baby are doing well. I am looking forward to meeting my own baby boy...in 10 weeks (hopefully). My cousin had her first kid back in May and also had breast feeding challenges. So did my mom when she had us so you're not alone. The other night my mom made stir-fried rice cake and said that the rice cake is suppose to help with producing more milk. I forgot to take photos so no receipe at this time. I'll have to try your fish soup receipe when time comes. Mina Congratulations and welcome back! Hope mom and baby are doing well.
