Breastfeeding Story (After giving birth)

Bosannyeee harini.. Assignment ada tp xd la busy sgt so rase mcm nk update blog yg x berapa nk meriah sgt ni sbb xd post2 yg best..So today nk share about breastfeeding story/journey based on my own experience.

After giving birth

Since become a mother who fully breastfeed my son, my entire or whole life activities are totally changed. At the beginning, it was very hectic with milk pumping schedule. Every 2 hours have to express milk. Can u imagine how tired and busy i am at that time, plus I was alone in the hospital fully take care of my little baby..

Ok lets start.. :)

First of all, i want to inform all mother-to-be out there that after delivery, don't put high expectation to your own milk . Why I said this because from my observation, i saw in the hospital that a lot of new mother like me, they were very very stressful to breastfeed their new born baby. It is because after delivery, milk will not be produced too much and its just like 10ml - 30ml per time(30mins pump). Of course your little one will cry due to not enough milk. And this situation will make you struggle, panic and feel kelam kabut (my term is kelam kelibut) coz u think u have not enough milk. Its normal beb! It happened to me also and honestly its very hard to deal with this feeling. See my 1st milk after 30mins pump on second day of delivery. Nurse pon tergelak tgk..hehe Its ok at least we try right??

Dont give up mom!!!! At this phase what you should do is you have to motivate yourself to be positive that you can do it for the sake of your child. That you want to give the best to your little one, of course. Please ask people around you (especially those experienced ppl), observe them how they plan their pumping schedule, what food  or supplement they consume to increase milk production. Read article from internet also will help a lot. Please don't stress yourself because i've experienced it when you stress milk will not be produced and will become lesser and  lesser. Just be calm and smileeeeeee...

During my day in the hospital, i was lucky eventhough i'm alone there but the breastfeeding specialist will come everyday and teach me how to stimulate my milk, how to deal with engorgement and etc. Masa ni i pon turut mengamalkan doa seperti berikut:-

Doa before i start expressing..kena tawakal, bersabar serta yakin akan rezeki Allah..

Admit that sometimes i have to feed my little one with formula milk(FM) but its only when i have really out of energy to express (you know 30 mins could be very long hour if you really tired and backpain to express)..Sorry baby, mom too tired, headache due to not enough sleep and backpain..Mom also need some rest...forgive me that i have to feed you with FM..but its ok skali skala tukar seleraaa kan...hehehe 

Besides, im also taking yogurt drinks (uncold) to boost up my milk. Eat a lot of sawi (some ppl say dont eat batang sawi coz angin) and drink a lot of warm water.Tips!!!1. Please make a routine before you start expressing drink 1 glass of water, during and even after expressing. 2. Baca Bismillah and selawat 3x and tiup to both breasts.

See!!! This pic showing my milk production after 1 month of delivery. 

Below pic when i'm already back to work after finish maternity leave.

Good luck and be positive mom! Its just a temporary that later on u will be satisfied  on what you have done  when see your little one is happy and healthy...

Barang-barang Prem Baby

Salam All,

Saje nk update blog ni dgn info2 tentang prem (Pre-mature baby). Masa ddk dlm hospital dulu ada jgk google2 search2 pasal prem baby tp xbyk sgt info and mostly from outsiders bukan nye org kita. So ssh sket la nk mencari barang2 keperluan prem baby macam baju khas utk prem baby, puting premature & susu formula tuk prem..

Bila baby duduk dalam incubator lagi2 bile prem bby, plg ssh skali nk bf (breastfeed) ssb mulut kecik and x pandai nk lacth..diaorg ni kebiasaanye asik tidur aje sampai kalu nk bg mnm susu kene kejutkn..xtau la bby biasa mcm mane  tp bby prem kene dikejutkn setiap 2/3 jam dan kene diberi mnm susu 30ml setiap 2 /3 jam tu..doc mmg akan kira current weight dia and age dia so berapa dia kene mnm utk baby prem mbesar dan menambahkn berat bdn diaorg..FYI, average weight bby prem bertambah around 30g 40g sehari..bygkn la kalo bby prem yg lahir just 1kg tuh berapa lama diaorg kene ddk dlm incubator. Riezqy lahir dgn berat 1.5kg pon ambil mase sebulan untuk cecah 1.8kg (>1.8kg baru bole dpt BCG, selagi xdapat BCG hospital x akan lepaskn bby blk rumah).

Sepanjang ddk dlm hospital, mak2 baby prem sgt2 bsemangat bagi susu & ddk sepanjang hari & malam di tepi incubator sbb sedih melihat nasib anak masing2 yg bole di katakan nyawa di hujung tanduk dengan wayar berselirat, jarum xpyh nk cakap la tgn kiri kanan, kaki kiri kanan semuanya bersambung wayar..bernafas mengunakan oxygen tp dengan ketabahan mak2 prem menemankan bayi masing2, pam susu tanpa putus asa  ni membuatkan aku kuat semangat dan tabah menghadapi ujian itu..Aku sangat2 bersyukur kepada Tuhan baby aku x byk masalah kecuali menunggu berat badan cecah 1.8kg dan and hand swelling kt tgn dia and di operate. Itu pon aku rase ujian utk aku and Riezqy sgt besar. Masa dalam, NICU mmg xdapat nk melelapkn mata wlapon penat nye Allah saje yg tahu dh la tgh berpantang lagi. pukul 2 3 pagi masih ramai mak2 yg xblk2 ke katil msg2 sebab meneman kn baby untuk mberi semangat pada mereka agar terus berjuang and redha akan ujian Ilahi yg diberikan sebaik sahaja mereka di lahirkn ke dunia. Kadang-kadang aku terpikir mesti baby2 ni ingat dia dilahirkan ke dunia ini untuk disakiti and merana..serious sebak dan tsentuh sgt2..setiap hari ada saja tangisan mak2 ni meraung melihat baby mereka. Ada yg xdpt nk diselamatkan, Allah saja yg tahu perasaan mereka masa tu..Aku yg ddk di tepi memandang dgn perasaan sayu sambil peluk Riezqy bcakap dgn dia suh mnm susu byk2 bole cpt blk rumah ikut papa dah xpayah kene cucuk2 sane sni lagi..

Itu la cerita sedikit sebanyak pengalaman ddk dlm NICU selama 3 hari..bila baby dah stabil baru dipindahkan ke wad bayi. Aku ddk wad ni selama 2 minggu, sampai berhari raya haji la kat situ..heheehe

Ok la back to the topic, nk kongsi cerita barang-barang keperluan baby prem. Biasanya mother-to-be x prepare kan diri dan barang2 tuk baby prem ni..And sometimes doc akan suh kite cari a few items mcm puting prem, susu prem and baju prem..Ha mase tuh la husband kite pon puas mencari brg2 ni merata tmpt sbb bukan semua tmpt ada jual..

1. Puting Botol Premature/Premature Bottle Teat - Puas husband cari 1 KL finally jumpa dekat Manjaku Bandar Baru Ampang. Brand Disney & ada tulis Premiee. Harga RM7.90 (2 pieces). Masa dalam hospital ramai yang tanye kt aku mane dpt puting ni sampai kirim kt husband suh belikan tuk diaorg.

2. Susu Formula Pramatang/Premature Formula Milk - Brand Enfalac, S26, Neosure & byk lagi..Setakat ni doc advise beli brand yang ini la..Aku dh try Enfalac tp Riezqy tolak dia xsuka. Sampai skearang FM mmg dia xnk dia nk mommy dia punye milk aje..hehe

3. Baju Premature - Ni pon nurse yang dekat DSH tuh yg bgtau suruh cari baju tuk prem dekat FOS tp kene cari betol2 la..kene selongkar yg belah bwh2 tuh kalau tanye dekat promoter diao mmg xtau..Dekat baju tuh ada tulis Premiee.

Note: Kenapa pic Riezqy masa dlm NICU x ada sbb doc xbenarkan amik pic and ramai yang kate kalo amik gambar berat bby akan turun sket..Mula2 tu xd la nk percaya sgt tp ada member sebelah katil amik pic bby dia terus trn berat dlm 20g gitu..so semua dh takut nk amik pic bby masing2..wallahualam..

So to the mother out there, if you have prem baby like me, no need to be worried..Be patient and strong k! Ujian Allah untuk kita semua ni dan bukan semua org di uji dengan ujian sebigini nak2 ni anak yang pertama..Org tua2 ada kata, masa kecik2 susah jaga bila besar insyallah menjadi anak yang senang untuk dididik dan di jaga. Doc pon ada kata, kebanyakan Prem baby ni pandai and pintar sbb otak mereka dibekalkan dgn oxygen yg mencukupi semasa ddk dlm incubator..Wallahuallam..Sama2 kita berusaha dan doakan agar Allah mempermudahkan urusan anak kita ini di dunia dan juga di akhirat kelak..Amin

To Riezqy,

Mom love u so much..am sorry if u feel sad at the beginning of your life.. This is only ujian frm Allah for us..Dont ever regret it sayang..One day you will ask why your left hand have a scar and what scar was it..Then mom will tell you the whole story that you are such a strong baby boy went through all this experience that not all babies had..Mom always pray that Allah will keep you healthy, be anak solleh yang kelak akan mendoakan utk mommy and papa juga anak yang senang utk dididik.. may Allah protect you always sayang watch your steps and guide you forever...
Mmuahh muahh muahhh..

Love,
Mom
