Salam..
I was reading so many blogs on
breastfeeding and breast pumping as I am now trying very hard to fully
breastfeed my baby~ Damia Zara.
While trying to fully breastfeed baby Zara,
I have few regrets that Im trying to fix now.
The first one, which lead to the next ones~
I didn’t keep as much as possible stock during my confinement period. Sy bkerja
di Kamunting. Before deliver, sy mnetap di Kamunting bsama suami. Berkat rezeki
baby, my husband was offered a new job in Penang. He started his new job during
my confinement period. So temporarily he rented a room for a month since I was
doing my confinement in my hometown, Terengganu. Okay, for 2 months Im in
Terengganu I didn’t keep any stock. Sy takut bila da simpan stok bebyk, time
nak balik Kamunting which the travelling time is 8 hours, all the EBM will
spoiled. 2 days before my ML ended baru la sy balik ke Kamunting.
My 2nd regrets, tlalu lambat
mbeli storage bottles. Sy dah balik Kamunting baru beli storage bottle. Jadi
nya Sunday night baru la tergesa2 mengepump, hasilnya 4 oz shj. Luckily, my mom took
a week leave to stay at Kamunting to look after baby Zara plus my house just a
5 minutes’ drive from work. Sy bleh la balik rumah lunch time, so bleh la DF
baby Zara. Since baby Zara baru 2months maybe consumption rate masih low, 4 oz
is enough until I finished work at 5pm. Sesampai sy kat rumah, laju je baby
Zara bg hint nak susu. Oh, kalau baby Zara tu isap jari tu means dia lapa la
tu. Bijak anak mommy ;) Rutin pump hari ini untuk hari esok ni blanjutan slama
smnggu sb sy hnya pakai manual pump Avent Phillips.
My 3rd regret, tidak bdisiplin. On
that weekend, sy bpindah randah mngangkat barang ke rumah baru kami di Penang.
Sy akan berulang alik dr Juru ke Kamunting stiap ari and baby Zara akan
dihantar ke rumah babysitter. Kbetulan weekend tu adalah cuti Thaipussam jadi Monday is the
replacement holiday. Sy btol2 letih Sat & Sunday mngangkat barang dan
mngemas. Terlalu ikutkan kemalasan dan konon nya kepenatan mengemas dan
mengangkat barang, ditambah pula tiada masa nak mengepump secara berleluasa ;p
Hasil untuk 3 hari bcuti, sy hnya bjaya mengepump 7oz. Semalam (Tuesday), sy start
hantar baby Zara ke rumah pngasuh bbekalkan 7 oz susu. Sy bekalkan juga formula
milk in case tak cukup, which is memang akan tak cukup la sbb sy da x bleh blik
lunch time utk DF baby Zara. I called the babysitter after lunch, there were 2
oz left. Pulang dr kerja, sy ambil baby Zara kat rumah babysitter. Sedihnya,
baby Zara tpaksa juga minum formula milk 2 oz.
Oleh sebab sy mggunakan alasan manual pump
untuk menutup kemalasan sy, jd sy tlah mbuat kputusan utk mbeli electric pump.
Skrg sy sedang mnunggu the new electric pump to arrive. Smoga sy bjaya
menyediakan bekalan yg ckup utk baby Zara.
