It's been awhile since my last post. Been busy managing my time between my two princesses and my one and only king. Although my mum was kind enough to come, I just could not bear to see her limping with her aching knees, having to take 3 buses just to come to my house...so, I told her she need not come if she is tired. And when she does come, I just tell her to play with Mia...
Anyway, as the title suggests, I am updating about my breastfeeding experience. This time, with Anasofia. My experience with Miasara was a real nightmare (as described in my post)...
The first few days was a dejavu experience. There were no milk. My gynae suggested taking Fenugreek pills...so I did. I just could not bear to latch Fia on and see her struggling to get any milk at all...so I express milk. The first week I only managed to pump like 5-10ml at one time. I persevered and just continue expressing. I read on the forum that there are many new mothers experiencing the same thing and they saw their supply increasing with each day.
So, I increased my expressing sessions from 3 times per day to 6 times per day. And slowly, I managed to express 20-30ml per session. I supplemented her feeds with formula milk. As weeks go by, my supply increased, alhamdulillah.
And now, after one month, I am able to feed her with breastmilk totally...syukur...I hope to be able to provide her with my breastmilk for a long time and help her be a healthy baby.....wish me luck!
