b00bs & b'feeding
Gee I'm left about 15 mins to leave office...Before I gave birth to baby Aidan, I was quite sceptical about myself whether I can b'feed Aidan exclusively. I bought a good pump and also small containers that cost quite a bomb. But when thinking of the ROI, it's uncomparable and so during the end of 2 mth leave, I was really tested, whether to keep on b'feeding or start to mix with formula. My only weakness is lazy and 'do not know how to pump, store and stock up'. Hence so many calls were made to some friends including famygirl. I badly needed encouragement especially during Raya time visitings, I kept on getting remarks like, "tak akan cukup tu...", "tahan lama ker susu simpan mcm tu?", "budak tak puas minum kalau susu sikit macam tu..." referring to a few 8oz bottles that I have expressed. I was so tested and so bengang tahap gaban but I persevered. I started aggresively pumping during the last 10 days before starting working and a day before work, I managed to stock up around 60oz in freezer. Then another test, during 1st day of work, I was so kelam kabut with all the timing, logistics and such and I only managed to pump 4oz only! Sedih giler! I have to call famy.. uhuk uhuk.
I think by now I already get the hang of it, you just need to be relax and it will be free flow hahaha...Today is the largest volume I have expressed 10oz yayyyy!!!
I think I begin to like b'feeding, not that I did not b'feed Nael, I mean exclusive...I keep on watching my diet, I even digilently taking supplements, multi vit, omega 3 and calcium and dari tak rajin minum air, aku boleh pulun berbotol2 air sehari hehehe...The downside of it isssss....tidoq tak cukup ler and this baby Aidan really really really lovesss suckling, sakit badan dibuatnya. Only thing I need to learn quick is how to b'feed in public unnoticeble (sp?) and how to even out the size of my precious b00bs..te he he...shhhh! Any ideas ladies??

*pat on your back* for persevering this far!
masa i start kelas balik i ada 2 botol susu badan je dalam freezer amacam? pulak tu the first day of Uni, i tak tau where i can pump, nak store kat mana...membuta je. dah la time tu nipple luka coz Layth baru tumbuh gigi and learnt how to bite! first day tu ingat lagi...asyik tukar2 location coz segan orang dengar bunyi pam tu! akhirnya jumpa the spot..in the disabled toilet. tapi toilet! sungguhlah aku tak selesa. terpaksa.
your milk will always be cukup. pedulikan these mulut2 on the side yang suka demotivate. if he doesn't get enough during the day, dia akan compensate when you get home. babies are really smart..they know how to get their food!
ALL THE BEST!!! I WILL BE YOUR POM POM GIRL
p/s i tak tau tips nak even kan breast coz i pun need that advice ahahah!
p/s II disebabkan i selalu terpaksa BF in public even on public transport, i find that a shawl works ok.
Good to hear

jenis kalau pam susah dapat kengkadang so 10oz tu dah kira dasatlah tu. dont be intimidated kalau ada orang lain sampai berbotol2. tapi janji bila you nyusu anak you dia happy.
err breast tak even? heh heh heh. boleh buat cheat punya jelah. tali bra tu kena sebelah panjang, sebelah pendekkan, maka nampak even. hahahahaha

FD : thank you thank you..yes pls be my pom pom girl :) rasa sungguh kurang selesa kalau nak bf in public, camna yer ..buat muka sadin and the "what r u looking at?" look hehehe...

beelove : tu laaa tah bila lah nak post gambar, belum download lagi pun..this mommy mmg lazy, asyik rasa nak tido jer heheh..
lollies : alaa itu mcm nampak lopsided pulak...camna ehh, tensionlaa coz ketara sgt..kena letak extra padding nih hahahah...ehh itu 10oz , 2 kali pump...i pun jenis2 yg pump takdelah byk mana dpt...
You start I stop...
I ni bukan lah yg jenis bergaya sgt kan so I dolu2 cover pakai lampin tu je. Maybe can use pashmina to cover kan..kan...my husband bought me 1 cashmere from mongolia.
Finally since I sekarang sedang berjauhan dgn family alhamdulillah Hannah dah wean off. Without me dia tido dgn ayah and stop waking up and crying at night. Finally I can have uninterrupted sleep. But still rindu kat dia so much sob...sob...13 days to go uhuk...uhuk...

hee hee insyaAllah i pun nanti nak try breastfeed the babies but i am nervous and risau jugak cukup ke tak eh...
salute sama working mommy that try to breastfeed exclusively.... salute salute...the only thing yg make it work is our determination...kalau tak mmg susah jugak...i pun breastfeed exlusively sekejap je kut..lepas tu dah start mix with formula...

hari tu jumpa tak nampak macam besar sebelah pon? tapi of course i wasn't staring at your b00bs lah :P
masa i dulu i rasa takde pulak mengalami masalah seperti ini. tapi i think the best is to make sure you bfeed aidan by giving alternate breasts.
bila nak cerita 'horror' story beranak you? hee hee hee.
Tak equal tak even...apa-apa lahhh..
I used to hv that tak even problem too because anaknya prefer yg sebelah saje (dah tak ingat which one). But tara....now ni takde problem dah. Cuma like famy said try to gv both side ..maybe more on the smaller one tee...hee..hee.
Go visit my blog. Rumah baru..

how come I did not get alert of your entries ya?
i tak subscribe ker? rasa macam dah..check balik!
about bf, i tell you bila anak2 kecik macam aidan memang sakit badan! but slowly you'll get into the rhythm, prepare jer lah dengan cream untuk sore n1pples tu ...lama2 you tengok anak you cerdas dan you pun tak payah sebok2 nak bawak thermos air panas, botol susu or tin susu ke mana2, that's freedom!
nak bf w/out being noticed, I think the gendong tu the best alternatives..All THE BEST!
belated comment
sorry no...br baca ur updates ni..
by now tis issue dah basi kan?
tak kira, nk bg 2 cents jgk.
apa nk ckp eh? lupa.
oh..i wanna say, u penah stock up 60oz!!!
bestnyaaa....puas hati tu.
