Dear abandoned blog...sorry for abandoning u...
:p
Just kidding.
Life has been perfect.
It has been a month and i m adjusting to it.
My current passion is 'breastfeeding'.
Right now i feel like if there is one thing to fight for, its
exclusive breastfeeding.
Giving your newborn formula (milk) is not the worst thing
ever but giving them breast milk is the best thing ever and
ever...
Plus its free!
And formula cost a fortune!
With formula you need water heater (which mean
electricity/gas for the stove), hot water(obviously), feeding
bottle, sterilizer, soap (k cuci bah) and etc....plus when u
go out, u need to pack everything! Oh...thermos to keep the
hot water...ngeh ngeh
But if u exclusive-breastfeeding, all u need is boobs...and
ur cute baby...and a balance meal ( u need this even if u
dont breastfeed)...if u go out, all u need is extra shawl or
nursing cover or if ur shawl is long enough, u dont need that
extra! ;)
If u bf, in the middle of the night, when ur baby cry for
milk, u can just rolled him to ur side n feed him..then u both
can fall asleep when feeding.. :p ( just keep a pillow behind
him to keep him laying on his side...utk elak tersedak
susu).
Plus it means ur hubby will help with the diaper changing and
everything else...cuz he cant feed the baby..so he will be
looking forward to help any other way... ;)
Did i mention it is free?!
Forget the hundred ringgit supplement as ur milk-booster.
Find something that work for you! Find some daily food/drink
that can boost ur production...as for me, i am loyal to milo,
hot chocolate, milk, horlic, goat milk (hi-goat), half-boiled
egg and lots of other food that doesnt cost a fortune...
P/s: i have no problem with anyone taking the supplement to
help with their milk supply... ;)
Most of all, believe u can do it. Allah has created us so
perfectly...why would we doubt if we can or cannot do it?!
That is what boobs are for (ehemm...excuse the language...
:p)
Ask for support from your husband...he is all u need...trust
me!
When the others are pushing you to feed your baby with
formula cuz ur baby is crying after feeding, all u need is your
husband by your side.
All you need to do is just feed him again...or atleast just cradle him to sleep...sometimes the baby just want to be cuddled... to
be close to us...cuz that is the closest he can be to his
previous 'home'...
