Assalammualaikum,
Happy One month old sayang mommy, Razin !!!
Last 2 days I started fed razin with bottle, practicing
before mommy masuk kerja. This is a must! for working mom, u have to start early
so your baby can adjust and alhamdulillah Razin can handle with it and he didn’t refuse it at
all. Bravo my boy!
As I mention in my previous entry, I already filled my fridge with
EBM (EXPRESS Breast Milk) and been taught my mom how to care and handle with
it. A bit tricky and work to do tho but yet the benefit is superb. Inshallah
Razin, I’m trying my best to feed you with love and mommy’s milk darling.
For breast milk storage i bought the Lansinoh brand at
Mothercare shop, at that time I assumed the price is reasonable (even though I know
Ahmad J thought it is damn expensive ) 1 box with 50 bags for RM 72 So meaning 1 bag equivalent to rm1.44 and it definitely
one-time-use only. My bad! Please kindly do some research before purchase
babies –mom things at shop Nadia! Few minutes ago I just purchased breast milk
storage through facebook , Autumn brand 2 boxes, 50 bags for ONLY RM 27. 42 cents per bag,
*facepalm*. Well might be the brand but the function is still the same to keep
the EBM and after that throw away.
Back to the EBM, I follow the MOH (Government hospital)
steps.

I just use normal 2 doors fridge, all my frozen EBM only can
lasts for 3 months inshallah.We need to transfer the frozen EBM to peti sejuk bawah seawal mungkin, means for tomorrow feeding ,kite boleh prepare malam tu.Then for morning session ,just transfer amount susu yang baby kite perlu .Mcm my first time with razin , i hanya panaskan 2 ounces and the balance keep in fridge .But remember once you transfer it the balance only can lasts for 24 hours.On the first day I tried only one time feeding
, morning .At first he struggle a lots , keep
pushing the teat but because he was hungry at that time after bath I guess he don’t
have choice either to drink it or NO –MILK .Ya mommy can be that cruel! It’s not
easy peeps seeing ur son crying and kalau tak kuat semangat memang I bagi je DF
but bila bab ni memang kena Hati kering sob sob ….and at last he finished the milk.Incase ta habis, dont worry the milk boleh simpan at room temperature for 1 HOUR!
On the second day, we fed him with EBM 2 session, morning
and lunch time.Alhamdulillah , he accept and after that he also still direct
feeding. Phew , lega, The one problem that can occurred in bottle –feeding and
breastfeeding is *nipples –confuse –syndrome * .That time you baby maybe comfortable with the bottle and refuse to be
feed direct .But don’t worry, if let’s say your baby refuse to bf, just
remember the skin-to –skin method,(put
you baby on top of our chest ) our baby
ada 6 sense , they can smell our body odour and kenali kite melalui itu.
Inshallah he will continue bf. I really hope Razin and I don’t have that
problem :)
How frequent I collect my EBM-pump?
Ikut suka! No specific time! There are lots of advice to set
a specific time to pump the milk, some mothers prefer to pump every 3 hour , 4
hour .I trying to adjust time but staying at home, and attend to razin when he
cry made my * jadual * kacau bilau. But I always set in my minds I really need to
have EBM stock at least 2-3 portion – 3 times feeding for razin. Usually 1
session I manage to get 4- 5 ounces if I’m lucky. For me, not the amount or
effective pumping time is the matters, but the effort and at least I able to
keep as much as I can for Razin when i start working.
I also started to do power pumping ,and it’s will be my 4th
night tonight, and surprisingly my EBM increase a lots .Alhamdulillah.Will
share with you guys about the power pumping and my EBM stock.
Till then ,
~Nadia`
