Highly recommend Auntie Liang!! It’s such a pity that we only hired her for one month—we should have hired her for two or three months to help us get through the fussy February period 🥹 Her schedule is already booked through next April, so if you want to book her, make sure to contact her early!
In the beginning, Auntie helped me with breast massage to open the milk ducts, and it was especially effective. It successfully relieved my rock-hard engorgement, and I didn’t get clogged ducts or mastitis. My milk came in very smoothly. Early on, the baby’s latch was incorrect and it often hurt a lot, and Auntie was also very patient in helping me adjust the position over and over again until the baby could breastfeed smoothly.
Every day Auntie made all kinds of black chicken soup and crucian carp soup to help me stay hydrated and increase milk supply. Every afternoon there was a little dessert: salted egg yolk pastries, sago jelly cakes, glutinous rice cakes, walnut bread, egg tarts, double-skin milk, pumpkin cakes, fish maw sago dessert—too many to count. Every night there was also bird’s nest stewed milk. Throughout the whole confinement month, she made sure I was getting very full nutritional support.
Neither my parents nor I had any experience taking care of a baby, so during the confinement month we learned from Auntie how to change diapers, feed, soothe the baby to sleep, and bathe the baby. We hope that after Auntie finishes her job, we’ll still be able to take care of the baby smoothly!
