The highs and lows of breastfeeding

Sarah is 3 months old today!! :) And proudly, i've been bf-ing her since birth. I had some shorcomings though, i had to supplement her feedings on her paed's advice but i'm still breastfeeding her as much as i can, without supplements on the weekends.

I thought breastfeeding comes naturally... well it does, after a while though. Biasala, tara nak biasa tu macam2 la cobaannya, tapi alhamdulillah, usaha masih diteruskan. I consulted a board-certified lactation consultant regarding my plans to go back to exclusively bf. She said it can be achieved with lots of effort on my part. So her i am, trying as hard as i can... Usaha kena usaha.. tapi apa yang Dia nak bagi, kita redha la kan.

I pump milk at the office, 3 times as suggested. Masa awawal aritu, malu gak bila nakbasuh bottles and pump kat pantry tu kan. Segan lak orang tgk.. tapi bila fikir2 balik.. orang yg buat maksiat terang2 tu tak rasa malu pun, takkanla aku nak malu buat mende yg elok untuk baby aku kan? So skang takdela malu sangat. Kalau masa jalan from pantry to my room tu terserempak ngn orang sambil menatang bekas toyogo yg penuh barang2 pump yg ditenggelami air (untuk cold sterilization).. aku cakap je.. akuarium!.. Hehehe.. Lantok la kome...

Mende lain pun try jugak.. soya bean, milkmaid tea tht contains fenugreek, milo, anmum... sampai dah tak tau which one works..isk.. konpius. So far production adalah increase sikit dari dulu.. sikit je... but it's ok.. better than nothing. Now i'm more positive la kalau tak dpt collect milk byk pun. Rezeki la kan.. kalau ada, alhamdulillah, takde pun alhamdulillah jugak. Apapun, usaha tangga kejayaan... Harap2, dapatla susukan sarah sampai umo setahun ke... kalau tak pun, 6 mths.... huhu...

Okla.... time for the next pumping session... Takleh stress2 nih... kang tak kuar lak susu. Adios!
