Irfan started formula...

hmm... actually sedih jugak. tapi nak buat macam mana, susu drop sangat, so i have to start giving Irfan formula. i guess sebab puasa kut.

apa pun, aku tetap bersyukur sebab boleh fully breastfeed Irfan sampai 9 bulan lebih! it's really not an easy job and it needs a lot of sacrifice. i believe working mommies yang ada experience nih would agree with me. mana dengan bz kerja, terpaksa curi masa pam susu, cut short break time nak pam susu, bangun tengah malam pam susu, carik tempat strategic nak pam susu kat office (sampaikan meeting room pun jadik mangsa.hehehe)...hmmm. macam2 lagila. sounds tiring kan. but i'm happy buat semua tu! pelik kan:)

nila formula yang aku start bagi kat Irfan...

Qistina dulu memang minum Bebelac (as it was recommemded by our paed). dulu kitorang selalu beli banyak2 buat stock. sampaikan bila Qis dah 1 year, still got balance 2 tin. konon2 nak jual la, ntah camna ntah boleh lupa. since tak expire lagi, so, bolehla bagi kat Irfan. so far, Irfan ok dengan susu nih. so we will stick to this je la. hopefully, lepas puasa ni, susu mama back to normal......

Breastfeeding during Ramadhan...

Alhamdulillah.. hari pertama berpuasa dah selesai. risau jugak aku takut tak tahan sebab nak kena pam susu lagi kan. actually, dalam kul 12 tu, perut aku dah keluar segala bunyi dah, tapi takdela sampai rasa nak tumbang ke apa. so aku rasa ok lagi kut.

hasil perahan pulak, Alhamdulillah still maintain macam biasa. normally, aku boleh dapat total 12-13 oz for 3 times pumping at work. and today aku dapat 12.5 oz! syukur sangat2. first pumping dapat 5.5 oz, second session 3.5 oz and the third session pun 3.5 oz. bolehla tu kan kan.

pemakanan aku takla the bomb sangat. aku bangun sahur dalam pukul 5 macam tu.
menu as following yerr..

oat+milo+corflakes
kurma
plain water (minum sampai buncit..serious buncit okehh)
vitamin c (just started taking this vit due to Irfan's flu)
habbatus sauda

tu jerr... so, sahur hari ni, confirm tu jugak menu aku:) hopefully susu aku boleh maintain macam ni sepanjang Ramadhan, juga aku diberi kekuatan oleh-Nya untuk menjalani ibadah puasa.....

by the way, di kesempatan ni, aku nak ucapkan selamat menyambut Ramadhan kat korang semua! semoga kita semua dianugerahkan kekuatan menjalani ibadah puasa dan melipat kali gandakan amal ibadah. minta maaf la kalau ada apa2 tersalah tulis or terguris hati ok!

New bottles arrived. Yippie!!

i must admit that the service is gut. that's one of the reason i love to buy things online:) just imagine, i've placed the order yesterday and today i've received my stuffs. easy kan.

beli ni untuk ganti a few bottles yang agak lama dah. buy 8 pcs get 2 FREE!

ice pack lama tu dah koyak sikit. so kenala beli baru

here's where i've bought these. aku selalu beli breastfeed stuffs kat sini. i think their prices murah sikit compare to other online shops. but u have to become a member first to get the special price. takpe, sign up je, FOC:)

My breastfeeding journey....

Alhamdulillah....I've achieved my aim to fully breastfeed Irfan up to 6 months.... and still, i am until now. so, can i set my target to 1 year old? insyaAllah, semoga segalanya dipermudahkan-Nya.....

me myself hardly to believe that i can do this. thanks to SusuIbu , i really got a lot of information and tips from there. if only i found this forum even before i gave birth to my little Qis..... sebab kan, due to lack of knowledge, i've fully breastfeed Qis for only 1 month. then, i've started to mix with formula. it become worst, when i've started working, i've breastfeed only at night.

and after a year, i got pregnant again. so, i stop terus breastfeed. again, due to lack of knowledge...

apapun, aku tetap bersyukur coz still dapat breastfeed Qis although not fully. just imagine orang lain yang lagsung tak dapat breastfeed their baby. but i believe, they must have their own reason..

however, that was a history....the story change with my second child....i'm really determined this time.

Irfan, mama promise, mama will try my best to give u the best ok:)

Irfan at 6 and a half month.....and Alhamdulillah rezeki dia. susu mama still cukup

Breastfeeding Awareness at work....

last Monday, on the 26th April, my company had organized a one hour talk on the Breasfeeding Awareness. Actually, i was so bz with projects and meetings, but i said to myself, i must go to this talk. So, once they came out with the notice in the Bulletin Board, i have booked my schedule for this.

The talk was held in one of the training center, and i was quite surprised seeing not even half of the room was occupied. I've heard that, all this while, this is the first time my company had this kind of talk.okeyyy....maybe next time more people will join. I got there 15 minutes earlier, and while waiting for the rest, they have shown us some photos on the talk or program that they have organized at other company, Penang area only. i was so excited knowing that they have organized also programm on babywearing! wahhh.. i wish i was there. if i'm not mistaken, they have that at DELL.

The talk was lead by this nice lady, Ms Su Li Lee, and assist by this such a gentle and nice lady (forgot her name..:). This time, the topic was only on Benefits of Breastfeeding. One hour seems like too short since the talk was so interesting. Su Li sangat kelakar and i really admire her for her success on breastfeeding her child for 2 and a half year. without formula okey. Bagus kan.. I did ask her on how she managed to maintain her milk supply. so, my dear Irfan, mama will try my best ok.

Apart from providing breastfeeding consultation, they are also selling mommy and baby stuff in their website Babyparadise. can't wait for the next session. they said, they will have this like once a month. i'll book my calendar, for sure.
this year, my company is really taking care of us, breastfeeding mother:) they are in a mid of providing us a room to express milk. Alhamdulillah. tak perlu lagi nak curik2 pam dalam meeting room. hehehe...
