haishh sometimes i wonder if nursing lea to sleep EVERYTIME is a bad thing to do.
Lea sometimes nurses for comfort, when she's obviously not hungry. But, once i saw this article from kellymom's website, i felt relieved, soo happy and a bit sad haha knowing that lil' Lea is growing up so fast and for that i hv to cherish this moment ....
"If nursing your baby to sleep and/or nursing baby for comfort is working for YOU and your family, that's all that really matters! Nursing is not only nourishing; it's also nurturing. Your breast is a wonderful place of comfort and security to your child, not just a feeding "trough". The time spent nursing your baby is a very short period in the total life of your child, but the memories of your love and availability will last him a lifetime. Trust that your baby will fall asleep on his own in time, and enjoy every sleepy moment while it lasts."

Breastfeeding Tips
Ok entry kali ni cik² dan puan², nak share tips² for a successful breastfeeding (chehh). Alhamdulillah, as for now baby Lea still fully breastfed, even time ramadhan ni.
Kalau nak tau, my bf journey tak sesenang as some of u ingat. First day Lea TAK minum langsungggg! Dia tidooo aje, and my milk tak keluar² lg. Imagine, I only managed to bf Lea on her second day only, ONCE sahaja. And third day, die tak minum² jugak. And if Lea tak minum, what happen? Of course laa breast engorgement yg sgt super duper painful itu. Oh ye, not only that, since Lea tak reti minum, die gigittt aje, since the very second day, I had to wear Medela nipple shield. Pakai tu for more than 3 weeks.. aaa seksanyee nak bf time tu. Nak bf aje kene cari shield tu, dah la Lea minum every 2 hrs, kene make sure shield tu bersih etc etc.
Naseb baik prior to delivery, dah beli siap² breastpump. I bought Medela Freestyle. Ye, mahal tapi worth every penny. Sampai sekarang berjasa, tenkiu. So dari third day Lea lahir, dah kene start pump².
Start 3rd day dah malam, alhamdulillah, Lea start minum, non stop pulak tu, sian die lapar tak minum²... Since then, Lea minum ok, every 1-2hrs rasenya. Sore, cracked, bleeding nipples?? heishh u name it, sume aku dah rase.. yg teruk² punye.. sampai Lea poop kluar darah i tell u.. Everytime bf sampai aku hentak² kaki tahan sakit.. Tapi nak juga bf..
Now, dah more than 7 months, dah takde prob tu.. taktau la bile Lea dah start ade gigi, die start gigit² balik kot huhuhu
So my point is :
1) Do not give up !!! Siapa yg awal² tu baby senang susu, bagus la... but for my case, the first 2-3 weeks tu mencabar la sgt. Dgn crack/sore, need to wear medela's breast shield etc.. it wasnt easy
2) Drink lots of water, before bf minum seteguk. And after tu pun kalau sempat minum lg.
3) Minum Milo/Horlicks and makan Quaker Oats .. haha in my case, nearly everyday. Until now.
4) Any supplement like fenugreek ke ape ke.. up to u la sbb tak semua org sesuai.
5) Nursing ON DEMAND. Jgn dengar sgt org kate, eh my baby minum setiap 3-4 jam aje. Newborns should be nursed anytime they cue hunger, but at least every 2 hours.
And jgn lupa pump kat office religiously at least 2 times... Jgn tinggal schedule tu.. Nanti susu kurang.
Also, breastfed babies tend to be long and lean and this is not a bad thing. Mommy pun kurus sekali huhu. For my case, I need to gain weight a bit la.. Tp cam susah sikit. Takpela raya ni kot
Lastly, special thanks to Kak Ani yg byk tolong and layan my call + sms nak tanya pasal bf ni.. Muahhh im sure Roma2 is so proud of you bebeh!!
