long hiatus? breastfeeding tips

lama xupdate. byk nak share. tp xde masa.. bila ada masa xleh access pulak.. hehe

btw, alhamdulillah.. everything was good n fine.

1st tepek gamba ilhan dulu.

pertumbuhan yg baik nmpaknye.. alhamdulillah..tekad hati nk buat ilahn gebus setakat ni berjln sprti yg dirancang.. bila rasa penat n give up..teringat saat nk lahirkan ilhan..

mungkin ni la apa yg mak2 lain rasa..yg sanggup korbankan apa je utk anak2nye..

terima kasih mak.. T_T

next!

my breastfeeding journey.

it was very hard at first.. tgk je la hasil tuaian ni..

alhamdulillah setakat ni hanya 2 benda asing masuk dlm perut ilhan.

air zam2. ubat batuk.. owh! air paip..mandi xreti duk diam..hehe

bila tgk gambar2 hasil tuaian. rasa mcm nk menitik air mata..huu.. sbb susahnye masa tu.. dugaan masa tu tersgt la kuat.. tp kena berlakon mcm everythings gonna be fine depan semua org.. mmg almost everyday ambik gambar sbb nk tunjuk kat mr.k n dpt support as..

'alhamdulillah..i'm proud of u, u can do more syg'

tu je pun da cukup...

now ilhan still fully bf.. rasa risau hari2 ttp ada.. mls tetap ada..hehe.. tp...syuuuuhhh..syaitan yg meggoda.. sila pergi jauh okeh.

btw. lesson learn.

1. jgn takut2 nak invest utk beli alat2 breastfeeding. me, kalau xdiingatkan oleh seorang kawan.,mungkin akan fail jugak dlm journey ni.. now setiap kali tgk breastpump. mesti ingt izah..hehe..

- izah ingtkan beli bp awal2 jgn tgu lepas deliver.

---- reason, kemungkinan baby warded, baby kuat tido, awal2 bf is supply on demand rules, if baby tak kuat menyusu, pump penting utk mimic kekerapan menyusu baby (maksudnye, bila baby xmenyusu, kita pump)

- bila fikirkan ni..tp masih dlm keaadaan xyakin, i was opted to manual bp. Medela Harmony Unsealed RM180.

best guna manual ni.. sbb suction lg kuat.. tp dah lama2 lenguh and we tend to rasa mls nk buat assignment mengepam..hehe

- then, we bought Medela Swing RM625. same reason, xconfident nk ambik double pump yg mhl. sbb takut separuh jalan. even masa guna swing pun, bila rasa mls akan terbyg duit yg dah dilaburkan..huhu..

kept reminding myself, officemate pun ambik double bila anak dia da almost 8months.

- at one time, rasa letih sgt nk melayan, lagi2 bila kerja ofis bertimbun... so tekadkan diri pejamkan mata. beli Medela Freestyle RM1550. Pricey? but its worth every penny. instead, the first 2 yg xyakin n konon xnak membazir tu sbnrnye yg rugi.. T_T

now i can do laundry,dishes,ironing, even meeting n pumping at the same time. rasa mcm there's no more excuses for bf.. hehehe..

if ada mommytobe yg bc ni.pls.pls.

must buy item.

1.purelan

2.breastpump

3.botol susu

xkisah la fulltime housewife ke x. those are still a MUST ITEMS to buy.

2. jgn dgr what others said n believe in urself. susu is always cukup for your baby. dia nangis kadang2 bukan sbb nak susu, but sucking is the primary method for all newborns to both self-calm. so, just always be there for your baby.. 

3. standby supplement. both mak n mr.k bertungkus lumus carikan mcm2 supplement utk bykkan susu. we never thought bout this cos never expected it was this hard. :(

antara supplement yg bagus.

-- dr's.choice chocolate mix with fenugreek = RM 27+-

-- the milk story chocolate drink, biscuits, chos bars = RM 35+-

-- ESP shaklee = RM130+-

fenugreek is halba which is org india mmg minum air rebusan halba ni masa dlm pantang. baru tau lps borak2 ngn indian teammate dlm nursing room..hehe

tp sape sanggup nk minum air halba tu kan... beli la dr's choice. sedap pun sedap.

for me, the first 2 drinks is good for milk production, n esp pulak pekatkan susu, so baby xde la minum lama sgt sbb susu pekat n baby cepat kyg..

waahh..xpsl2 jd promoter ni.. hehe

ada satu lg, air soya, luckily mak mmg jual air soya, so fresh soya home made hari2, itupun ilhan kuat menyusu lg.. soya,esp,nasi lauk best2, patutla boooolat sgt ilhan..hehe

4. yang plg penting, msti percaya susu itu ada!.. 

sekian pesanan khidmat masyarakat dibawa oleh mommy ilhan! :)
