expecting mommy

banyak nye orang expecting!!!

missed all those moments..

seronok kan preggy..

we tend to enjoy every moment..

its all precious kannnn..

jgn speku..i am not preggy yet!hihihihi

bile aku jumpe mommy yang expecting..besides asking this and that..

aku suke tanya do you want to breast feed your baby?

ramai yang jawap nakk..

tapi aku tau ramai yang rase breast feed baby datang naturally..

well..its actually not easy..

trust me..i've been thru it..

what you preggy mothers need to know..

you need to prepare yourself..

in term of emotionally and physically..

termasuk obstacles and challenges..

if you need more info please visit website www.sarakids.com or lunatots.com or www.susibu.com..

what i can tell you please be ready for 1001 obstacles..

besides going for antenatal class..

i can say please go for breast feeding class..

aku joint class from sarakids- my lactation counselor was kak farah..

kenapa perlu joint breastfeeding class?

mase aku pergi..aku expect mostly will be young mothers or 1st time expecting..

to my suprised..akak duk belakang aku tu da preggy anak ke3..

tapi still tak berjaya bf anak die..so its not easy..

please tanam kan azam..nak baby exclusive BF sampai umur 6 bulan..

then introduce solid and continue BF smpai 2 tahun..

please be prepare to expect what happen immediately after delivery..

please stop listening to nurses yang duk kalut push push suh anak minum susu formula..

konon kalo tak minum nnti anak kena jaundice...(bullshit)!!

nope..jaundice happen is not because sebab baby minum susu mommy..

tapi jaundice happen because liver baby is not mature enough to process you red blood cell..

sebab liver tak mature..your baby's bilirubin will increase in baby's blood sebab tak dpt nak release tru liver..

but don't worry mommies..jaundice is almost common utk babies..

you just feed you baby every two hours kalo baby tdoooo je(jaundice baby memang suke tdo!!!)

kejut kan die..and feed die..

mcm my son aariz..memang tdo je..

tonyoh2 pon takmo minum..

what i did was..pump out my milk..bg die minum tru syringe..

jemur2 sket bile pagi..alhamdulillah..hes getting better..

besides that..typical kampung minded is i known unbearable..

kalo la org2 tua suh itu ini..duk tentang what u said..

bgtau doctor kata jgn bla bla bla..

doctor suruh bla bla bla..

i always used doctor as excuses and its working tau..

besides that, while you expecting, please be prepared with breastpump, breast milk storage bottles..

sebab if you are not ready with all those things, suh pulak laki beli kan..aiyohhhh..lain beli lain dapat ooo..

but for nowadays, you can buy almost everything thru online..

for working mother like myself..it is important for me to buy electrical-double-pump..

electrical-you can use current which is readily..just plug in

double pumping-can pump both breast at one time!-save time tau ..if you use single pump, just imagine you need to empty your breast for 20 minutes each!

then your need to buy cooler bag-to store your milk from office to home..

and may need a lot of bottles..i have almost 50 bottles at home:)

like myself..while working..i just brought 4 bottles at a time..

but if you have a lot of milk..then you may need more!!

ok lets talk about the challenges..

like my SIL wanted to BF her baby..

she managed to breast feed her baby i think for 2 weeks..

then suddenly her baby totally refused/rejected her breast!

haaa..at this point..please jgn panic..calm is the best key to everything..

it happen to me once as well..

what i did was..i stop giving my baby tru bottle..sebenarnya jgn bagi tru bottle pon..dun listen to other people

let him drink my expressed milk tru cup/syringe..

bile baby tdo and time for your baby to feed..mase tgh lalok2 tu..bagi la your breast..

in between lalok tu..your baby may be less fussy and trus nyonyot..

but if your baby refused melalak..tenang kan die..cube position lain..

aku penah susukan baby smbil berdiri and menari2 tau!!

kena sabarrr sangat..remember..i takes 9 months for your baby to born into this world..

give your baby some time to adapt kay..jgn stress!!

owh one more thing friends..please make sure of your nipple's shape aka anatomy..

some of you may have inverted nipples/puting tenggelam/puting buta..

jgn stress..if your baby failed to latch..please pump your breast before feeding your baby..

without you notice..you no more have inverted nipple!!

ok mommies..have fun reading! will surely write more about parenting as i looooooveeeeee this topic a lot..

take care..tara!
