I believe that every pregnant women always prays that they will manage to breastfeed their lil baby so do i..During my pregnancy I keep on searching the doa, surah and all the petua that can help me on my breastfeeding process after the delivery. I also got the info from the support group, internet , book ,magazines etc.

I really wanted to breastfeed my baby as everybody knows the goodness of breast milk so i wanted my baby to get the best from me but from my research I found that I had the ‘not so lucky type of nipples’..the flat one, shame.. I started to worry and tell my mom and my super mom gave me the super fantastic advice that what I need to do just massage my nipples or….tarik..picit or whatever techniques that can reshape the nipples..at first I thought it was gross but amazingly it really worked on me. Clapped my hand that I managed to reshape my nipplse, anyone needs my help..

I was happy that after almost 9 months of trying all kind of tarik and picit techniques my boops were in the good shape that ready for breastfeed

On the 19^th July 2010 around 7.40 pm , I’ve experienced the first magical moment when my baby naturally searched for my breast for her first breastfeeding session. Alhamdulillah

But for the first night Auni Zahra had to stay at nursery due to my condition.  I was so weak due to low blood pressure and Tumpah Darah  after the delivery.  Poor My lil Auni and I was sad to see my husband had to sign the consent letter that they will feed Auni with formula milk during her stay at nursery..CRY!

After we went home, I kept try to breastfeed Auni but my milk seem wasn’t enough for Auni . She kept on crying and her tok mama tersayang couldn’t stand with her crying.. kecian katanya.. . so Auni got her formula milk again and again..Auni and Tok Mama were happy but mama CRY!.. I have tried so many food during pantang just to boost my breastmilk but I just didn’t work.  After a few massages  session with Bidan my breast milk started to increase but I had to experienced the SUPER SAKIT breast massages session…sumpah sakit as I might begged for the epidural or GA for this session.  The bidan said the breast have swollen, the nipples have clogged and at the time she massaged my nipple, I was screaming in pain and panicked when I saw my breast milk..terpancut di sana sini….terkena rak tv..terkena sofa..serius ngeri masa ni..

As a mother who was so determined to breastfeed her baby, I have tried one trick to breastfeed Auni.  As Auni loves her MAM bottle than her MAMA Booby so I will feed her with her bottle first..just for a few minutes..bagi die syok dulu..than I will remove the bottle and breastfeed her..the trick really worked on Auni and she will continue her feeding session.  After few weeks Auni Zahra has Fallen In love with my booby..Alhamdulillah..but I would say that breastfeeding wasn’t easy..sabar..sabar..during Auni’s breastfeeding session I would recite the doa…Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku..Bantula Auni Zahra Minum susu Mama..Cukupkan susu untuk Auni Yer..Amin..Amin..baca doa ni kuat2 masa susukan auni..lepas tu cakap dgn Auni yg die kena doa sama..amin sama..kita kena cakap2 selalu dgn anak2…minta die doakan juga..

There was always rain and shine on breastfeeding like sore nipple but please don’t give up, use medela purelan then we can continue the bf session. Masa mula2 baby latch tu sakit ya rabbi..rasa takmau bg dah..tapi cuba tahan sikit lepas tu Insyaallah bearable. I suffered with my back ache due to long hours of breastfeeding session..it’s a normal quote that babies will feed every two hour but my Auni will feed for two hour for one session..adus sakit pinggangku

After 6 month Auni has started her Formula Milk again due to lack of EBM stock..I’ve managed to supply about 15 oz during daytime but she need more than 20 oz but she will be exclusively breastfed during night time.

And Now after a year I still manage to breastfeed Auni..and up to my surprise that Auni now is exclusively breastfed..She really hates her bottle even with my breast milk.  She just wants the fresh milk from my booby. My lunch time will be Auni meal time and if I unable to see her during lunch time, she just drinks plain water..poor Auni. Luckily she eats a lot with a bowl of porridge 4 times a day..uuh my baby..

Dear mother..for me breastfeeding are:

Doa..Rezeki..sabar..support and knowledge

You know yourself…yang terbaik breastmilk la..kalau takde gak selepas berusaha bersungguh2 jangan la bersedih..mungkin takde rezeki..guna la susu formula dgn hati yang berat..cuba guna trick yg saya buat kat Auni..kalau dah rezeki anak ada la tu kan..kalau dah ade walaupun sikit pam jangan tak pam..kalau baby tak mo pam jugak..simpan..nak pastikan susu tu sentiasa ada

Kesimpulannya..anak saya awal2 dah campur susu..lepas sebulan..exclusive..lepas 5 bulan campur2 balik..skrg ni dah exclusively breastfed..lepas setahun..Alhamdulillah susu masih banyak..ok mother jgn putus asa yer..tak dapat banyak..dapat sikit jadi la..tak dapat lama..dapar sekejap jadi la…

Kalau dah takde rezeki jugak..takper..sabar dan teruskan berdoa agar ade rezeki untuk anak2 akan datang..jangan tertekan kerana kamu tetap ibu yang terbaik!
