my journey as a pumping working mother has ended.
however my journey as a breastfeeding mother is still on.
it all started during world halal week. busy running around, running errands, doing this and that to ensure everything on my part runs smoothly, busy back stage la, on the stage la and the next thing i knew, hey my boobs are not engorged anymore!! usually they'll be engorged within 3-4 hours coz tats my pumping interval.. during the event, the minimum i went without pumping was 7 hours, and maximum of 12 hours. masa tu pump sbb da engorged da..
on thursday, my mara postgrad interview day, i breastfed ayra directly at 5am and didnt pump at all for the rest of the time until 3pm when i reached home. pump dpt 2oz and nmpk mcm mostly water jer. ada blocked duct pun tak clear.. fetched ayra at 530pm, but bbsitter fed her already.. i was waiiiittttiiiinnggg until she wants to feed again sbb sakit giler blocked duct tu ok!! hihihi..
on friday when i had to work during mihas pun, i didnt pump whole day until i got in the car sbb da sakit da hihihi.. pastu when i pumped, sadly dpt 1 oz jer..
last week, i only pumped once at the ofc, itu pun sbb ada blocked duct lg. lepas tu takde dah..
soooo, i suppose i can declare i am no longer pumping for my baby. she is now a fully formula milk fed during the day, and breastfed baby during the night. hehehe..
i hope i can still breastfeed ayra for as long as i can. the bonding moments we have during those sessions can never be replaced. there is this sort of game tat we play with each other during feeding time, and the way she giggles while breastfeeding.. haihhh.. nothing can replace that precious moment.. ^_^
