So all this while because baby Harith can't latch on, i've been pumping and feeding him EBM (expressed breast milk) for all his feedings until his demand was more tahn i could handle....not because i didn't have enough milk.... but because i don't have enough time to pump.....
the day i got back from hospital serdang...the most i could pump at one sitting was 15ml...it went up to 30ml...than 60ml...and now it varies according to what time i pumped, ranging from 40ml - 180ml.... i don't know if that's sikit ke bnyk ke..but that's all i've got....bila baca kat internet..diorg kata the ammount of milk expressed is not the aamount of milk you produce because u can't completely empty your breast...and that the best breastpump is your baby...hahaha...
well because baby Harith eats a lot and i couldn't pump fast enough...i had to compensate with FM.... Lactogen at firstt but now he's taking Nan Pro 1...
but i still wanted to BF him directly...so i've been offering him BF directly...untl he mangamuk...then and only then do i give him his bottle of EBM...and this practice paid of kelmarin...because finally he latched on...sangat seronok ok...finally...so that day dr pg sampai mlm...i BFed him directly.....
but that happiness didnt last for long.... why? because baby Harith just latched on....he didn't latch on properly... so i ended up getting sore nipples....bila dukung dia sekrg pun when his body touches my nipples mesti sakit...ouch...i tried again yesterday to directly BF him...but my nipples are still sore...rasa cm ada org cucuk jarum everytime dia isap...so my next goal...bg nipples ni baik cepat2 n then try to teach him to latch on properly again...it's a working progress....
in the mean time it's back to pumping full time...yang tak best bila full pumping ni...kita pump je terus dia minum...tak sempat buat stok...so i currently have no stock for when i dah start working nanti...scary!!!!
masa dia minum direct tu dptlah jugak 3 botlles...
so that's about it so far...hopefully i can get him to suck properly lepas ni....and that i can stock susu bnyk2 for when i start work nanti...dah lambat rupanya...biasanya org start buat stock 2 weeks after the baby is born.... tp nak start skrg pun susah..nak angkut gi penang mcm mana kan hahaha...sana tak de fridge lagi...takkan beli hari tu sampai hr tu kan....
wish list:
bnyk nye la hai wish list hahahaha...hope evrything goes well

good progress...rasa sgt gembira kan bila anak dpt direct BF.teruskan usaha ya,jgn putus asa.
nielink yg bnyk membantu saya time baby saya xnak nurse mula2 dulu
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/baby/back-to-breast.html
then saya penah consult paeds/pakar laktasi;she advised to stop terus feed baby dengan botel to givethe EBM sebab bile die masih belum mahir direct bf,nanti baby tend to havenipple preference/nipple confuse.lg satu,baby memg akan minum dgn sgtbnyk kalo kot botol sebab biologically cara sucking die mudah dah berbeza dgn direct bf.try bg kot sudu or cwn.mula2 mungkin die nangis,but its far better than die tolak breast terus,tmbh lg timenak bg sore nipple sembuh.one most important thing,increasekan skin to skin contact dgn baby ya.that's help a lot too.chaiyok2!
Salam. Congratulations on your new arrival :)
To latch on correctly is to have "tummy to tummy". Your tummy meets his tummy. At least that's what I learned last time during my bf hard time. It did work.
