hi all long time no write.. anak pun dah 5 bulan lebih dah..hihiih
btw today's story is about my breastfeeding journey
unlike others, im not so lucky about the breastfeeding part..
as early as 5 days, my son had been given formula milk 4 spoon because my milk had not produce yet and he is crying like crazy..mum cant even had a rest.
after having very painful massage from mak bidan, the milk finally let down..
i pumped out and gave to my son to decrease his level of jaundice..
mula2 keluar kolestrum je.. berebut bagi kt anak.. n jaundis amar ar razi sekejap je.. seminggu je dah baik..
tapi mata dah jadi panda sbb anak nangis2222 je.. minum susu x kenyang2.. mama dia langsg x dapat tido. bila dah kronik sangat mak ambil dan bancuhkan siket susu formula.terus dia diam
masa tu tertanya2 jgk.. kenapa?
n then after 1-2 week i managed to pump my breastmilk. and just 50ml?????
no wonder my son always cried and bergayut sepanjang masa..
took a lot of food that can boost my milk production.. tell me what have to eat? lobak putih-done. pegaga done.. drink a lot of water- done. took lactation milk. took shaklee done..tp semua tak berhasil sangat..
anak plak meragam je.. tak tahan sangat..titik2 air mata masa kene bg susu fm..
dalam masa sebulan tu langsg x sampai hati nak bg sendiri susu botol... so my sis yg tlg bg n i run into the room..
at the same time, i tried pump as many as can to encourage my brain n my body to produce milk..
in 20minit i managed to get 30ml for every 1 and half hour.. thats only 1 oz ok. and my son dah dua bulan..mana cukup..n amar ar razi dah refuse nak direct latch ngn mama dia. mungkin lambat susu let down n siket.. tp i did prepare the milk whenever he sleep.. i rushed to pump the milk. n after he woke up i gave him 1 oz of breastmilk and 1 oz of formula milk. my routine was the same for my entire 3 months of maternity leave.. n amar ar razi is slowly want to latch directly with me.. that's a good sign so i can make sure my milk is always there..
untill now.. i still pump my milk out walaupun dah masuk keje.. now i can get max 8 oz for 2 session. alhamdullilah. a little is better than nothing.. at least i tried so hard to give breastmilk to my son walaupun tak exclusive..
i put my son to his babysitter near to my work place and gave 2 bottles of 3 oz each.. and kalau ada aktiviti petang i give another one bottle of 2 oz.. sbb i just can produce max 8 oz.. yg selebihnya akan top up susu fm..
selagi berdaya selagi tu la my precious milk will go into your stomach dear.. even only a little!
