Breastfeeding, breastfeed, breastpumping, power pumping

No. Not that easy. Well, yes it is easier when you have to do it only once or twice. But, when imagining that you have to abide all your routines and daily work with all those, you've got to think again. There are numerous things and activities that needs to be sacrificed just for breastfeeding. And of course, you will do it wholeheartedly for your little ones.

Alhamdulillah, Marissa had being breastfed for 13 months now. And insyaallah for many months to come. Every working.breastpumping mom has got their own way of making their journey a successful one. So does mine. Some of the tips that I used to do to ensure my cikibumbum is organically growing by the breastmilk. Huhu ayat tak tahan betoi. 

Yup. Below. 

1. To initiate the let down reflex, stay on the stimulation mode after 20 minutes of expression. And stay a little bit longer. The let down will come just before the 30 minutes of expression ends. 

2. Do not panic when your EBM is in low supply. Stay calm and keep pumping. I have had a few episodes of running out of EBM stocks. So what i did was..

Bagi jer susu kambing Suffy. And keep pumping. And buat power pumping at night. 

It's important not to stressed yourself to ensure that your baby is being given 100% breastmilk. Sekali dua bagi susu kambing is okay. Tak berubah pun DNA cell cell semua. Okeh. 

3. Milk boosters. 

I've been trying numerous milk booster yang banyak in the market now but none seems working for me. So what i did is..back to sunnah. Black seed and dates  does their magical effect on me. Alhamdulillah. 

4. Keep on latching. 

Yup. That is basic. 

5. Manual pumping. 

Sometimes manual pumping is more effective than using the electric breastpump. Sometimes. 

You may find other tips on the net. Banyak and more or less the same. 

Thank you husby for helping me out with this journey. Till then. Xoxo.
