since ada baby ni byk betul dpt ilmu about breastfeeding from family, friends, support group and also lactation consultant.. yg belum ada baby mesti tak fhm, apa yg susah sgt? sua kan je la.. tats what i thought dulu jugak hehehe.. haaaaa nnti korang tau ler hikkk... coz now i know hehehe..
plg byk baca is how to increase supply of milk, tp bukan pakai supplements. supplements (yes, shaklee tu) da cuba tp x jadi.. lain org lain milk booster dia kan.. milk booster food/drink for myself pun masih cari lg tp lum jumpa.. byk da try tp tak de difference in my milk output pun..
dont get me wrong, susu utk ayra alhamdulillah masih cukup.. kata lactation consultant (LC), selagi tak campur fm lg maknanyer cukup and da cukup bagus da sbb tak perlu campur. if baby minum 3oz, u pump pun by right mmg dpt 3oz jugak.. demand = supply.. but of course kalau bole nk gak la ada extra 3-5 oz sehari ke kan..
mcm mana pun sbg seorg working bf mum, kita akan sentiasa fikir cukup ke susu utk baby? cukup ke stock nk tinggalkan utk babysitter? soalan ni utk mothers like me yg takde stock berlambak2 dlm freezer la kan..
some of the methods to do so is tandem pumping and power pumping.
power pumping tu ada la buat a few times.. nk kena ada 1 hour yg free to do so.
tandem pumping plak while direct nursing, pump skali sebelah.. ok yg ni baru je try.. nk citer psl ni tp mukadimah kemain panjang hahahaha..
so tis is not easy ek??? baby tak suka! ayra kept trying to push the pump away from my other breast.. pastu agaknyer sbb botol yg collect susu pun rests on her thigh lg la dia tak suka.. nk buat football hold ayra tak suka.. so how to do tis successfully ek??
sometimes pumping the other side after direct feeding (df) is not always a luxury i hv since ayra jenis nk kena dukung AND jalan2 after feeding.
bcoz of the pump i use, i hv to sit down, tak leh jalan2 sbb the pump is not portable enough.. nk pki manual tak brp reti dgn 1 tgn, and 1 tgn lg dukung ayra..
weekend ni kena cari pump lain! tpaksa let go of my rumbletuff.. :(
anyways, i hope lepas dpt pump baru tandem pumping or pump after feed tu will be more successful.. hoping to bfeed ayra for as long as i can..
