Neither Here Nor There

Ok,for old time sake...i'm missing my girlfriends back in KL. I miss the shopping, the highway driving minus the jam (boleh ke ter'minus'?).

Again this is gonna be about breastfeeding. For now, i'm still feeling like a total LOSER. yeah, i know i shouldn't be. For this loser is still trying hard. not giving up. Thanks Hajar for giving me your sis in law fp link. Gosh, how i envy her. siap stock up penuh fridge. I'm super jealous tauk sik Hajar...should have done what she did. gather as much infos about BF while i was pregnant. when i was pregnant, i was so determined to fully BF my baby. but instead of reading about BF i was busy baking and jalan2. hari2 gi shopping. so, mom to be make sure you do your homework.

Now, lets talk about Milan. She is having difficulties to breathe every morning. say around 3-4am. She'll make that snorting sound.then she'll cry or sometimes scream when she feels it is so difficult to catch her breath. I took her to Marudi hospital to check up the other day. and we went to see the Penolong Pegawai Perubatan. A mid 20s guy. aduh kerek giler! doctor pun tak kerek camtu. ok, if i had a choice i would go and see Dr Ling (the only private clinic in Marudi) but Marudi was flooded. Included the clinic, therefore was closed. i asked him what can i do for her. "tepok2 belakang nya. mun ada kahak pake jari keluarkan". i said i did that tp tak jalan. he replied "try ajak". tau2 bagi panadol and ubat batuk.

I decided to go back to Miri for good and take Milan to see the specialist. I know mom won't agree and wants us to stay with her in kampung. Sure merajuk. But i'll explain. My priority is Milan. And i would never forgive myself if ever something happen to her *cliche*. I am so scared that problem might leads to asthma. *touch wood*. i totally blamed myself for getting Milan into that situation. i believe if i fully BF'd her since birth, she wouldn't have to go through all that. So Hajar, after reading your sis-in-law FP, i tried to pump the milk at 4am this morning. so sedih, can only managed to get 2oz. after pumping and pressing. then i remembered she said stay calm as your pump, so i stayed calm. Instead of staying calm i dozed off!!Lord, have mercy on me. i'll try again and again. I try making myself swallow the funny taste of fennel tea. urghhh...takpe for Milan, i'll swallow anything.

Finally, see how much that little princess has grow. sadly, with formula milk :). at 2mths old she weighs 4.3kg. born at 2.9kg. oh yeah, congratulations to Wedy n Wandy on the arrival of baby Rais Dasuki yesterday evening. enjoy motherhood darling..alamak...cant upload photo. next time lah

have you tried milkmaid tea wak?

try surf www.susuibu.com and read their forum.kita byk baca and learn pasal bf kat situ wak.

jgn give up.keep on pumping and direct feeding altho tak byk yg keluar, at least ada milk keluar..and don't stress too..think happy thoughts masa pumping & bf..kita masa pumping kat office selalu bukak video IY yg kita record dlm handphone & cium bau baju dia (yes,kita bawak baju yg ada bau dia pegi ofis,hehe)..

it's never too late to learn dear. one day milan will be FM-free..have faith ya!

well, you have to keep trying. search the net, many tips. And be calm always. Don't think too much. Like Hajar's article, it's exactly what I was thinking, but too bad not around to support you. Hope you get the BF flowing soon.
