How to convince the whole world the importance of breastfeeding? Esp when ur bub is preemie BF is so important. But my mom and everyone else ask me how to know the amount LO drink? Why not express out and "measure" then let LO drink? I dun mind expressing but u know it's double the time.

U don't have to convince as u r the mother . It's hard to please everyone. As long as baby puts on weight and have enough wet diapers, u r doing fine. Tell them bf means to feed on demand and it's not as if u will not latch baby and deprive him/her when baby is crying for milk. Anyway just sharing...For me I went from latching to almost exclusively pumping as I'm a low supply mum and baby doesn't latch for long each time n doesn't empty my breast. Since I had to pump to keep my supply i decided to just pump n feed.

Just ignore. Believe in yourself. My husband been asking me how much LO drinks since birth. I just said i don't know. he is putting weight and growing well. So don't bother to know the volume
