I feel like a...

TOTAL FAILURE!

Low milk supply!!

Remember what I said in previous entry that you'd do anything for your baby? Yes, we've been tested and challenge. Allah nak uji kesabaran kami suami isteri serta duga kekuatan mental dan fizikal kami. 

Baby kami tak cukup berat badan, now he's demanding for more milk. Hati dah lega, baby nak minum dengan banyak. Then, susu tak cukup! Baby mengamuk gila! Habis semua stok susu yang diperah dah abis diminumnya dalam masa 2 hari je.

Now, mommy is seeking solution(s) for this problem. Mommy kena calm and strong.

1. I did some reading and ada yang suruh power-pumping or hyperstimulation. How? Got 2 ways. First, it's using dual pumping machine/pump. Pump for 20mins, break for 10mins, continue pump 20mins then break for 10mins for 1 hour once a day until you get a better result. Result will show in 1 or 2 weeks. Discipline tau!
Second, using single pump/manual pump. Pump each breast for 10mins for 1hour straight, once a day for 1 week or till you get a better result.

2. Eat more solid food

3. Drink Plenty of water. Dapat air suam lagi bagus. During pump minum air. Let down lagi cepat and banyak. So, minum air milo ke, air suam kosong ke, best tuh..

4. Think of your happy moments. Think of your happy place. Think of your baby. Happy thought ladies!!

P/s : Again..wait till you read my latest post. Sorry peeps..

Underweight?!!

Orang lain worried pasal gaining weight, overweight tapi I'm worried about underweight!!

Me underweight? Of course I dont mind at all! This is not about me underweight, it's my baby!! My heart macam nak jatuh when we went to see his paeds and his gaining 50g aje since he was born. Well, his weight drop a week after he was born, drop by 150g which makes his weight 3kg. Now after 1month, he is weighting 3.2kg je. He's supposed to be 4kg by now! Hati mak mana lah yang tak sedey weih! And of course everybody is balming me for not giving him enough milk. Kata my susu tak cukup and all. This is depressing! I must be strong. My family keeps on asking me to give air masak semua. Nasib baik lah I'm prepared dengan semua nih. I nak exclusively breastfeed my baby and I will of course suruh my cousins to exclusively breastfeed their baby. Eh jab, dah lari tajuk ni. Ok, tak cukup susu..back to that. 

Since the paeds kata my baby tak puas menyusu, now what I do is breastfeed him directly and bila dia dah tertidur for like half an hour je, I'll feed him with EBM-bottle feed. Alhamdulillah he seems full and happy je. Tapi me still tak puas hati, is it my milk yang low in khasiat or he just memang tak puas menyusu selama ni? 

It's ok, apart from feeding my baby more, I seek for supplement untuk bagi susu banyak. 

Iklan sat.. ( My vocab is getting worse! I cant find words that I'm looking for..even a simple words! Zemm..Teruknya yemma!!)

Back on the supplement topic, I ask those yang hardcore breastfeeding their baby on my case. They ada syor kan supplement untuk bagi susu banyak and more berkhasiat. Antaranya is set breastfeeding shaklee like below ni :
