breastfeeding, breastfeeding, breastfeeding!
huhu. i thought the biggest challenge was to "give birth", the truth is, i cried even more during BF. i hav a super duper sensitive nipple i guess... and mayb tym awal2 tu babyzara n i were still learning to BF properly.. first 2 days, mmg susu tak byk.. bt i read dat, it's fine bcuz baby mmg boleh survive w/out it in her early days. colostrum pn dh cukup. masuk 3rd day, susu dah mule byk.. mule2, my "lefty" ade crack.. mmg sakit sgt tp ketap bibir, sumbat je.. lepas dh abes BF from my lefty, i tgk darah kt mulut zara... huwaaa.. anak aku dh terisap darah...rupenye ade luka jugakk.. nasibaik takde nanah. huuuu.. syian sgt die... then tak berani dh nk bg my lefty.. and asek2 bg my righty... okey dh engorge plak my lefty.... sakettt.. dgn ade luka, n crack, pastu bengkak pulak.... mak bidan ckp, kene BF jugak, its ok for baby to telan d blood.. huhu. tak sanggup nk kasik plus sakit nk matiiii... tym jmpe paed, i told her my prob, die ckp try perah je.. kalau biar nti lg teruk... huby planned to buy a breastpump for me tym i dh masuk keje nti... tp terpakse batalkn niat n beli skrg.. huby beli medela mini electric.. memule, awkward je rase nk gune.. tp dh lame2 best pulak.. hihi. ni kalau takde soreness n cracks la.. bcuz nk ikut ckp paed... i tried to pump my sore n cracked lefty... ya Allah.. bukan susu je yg memancut, tp darah jugaaaaaaaaaa.. tgk kt dlm bottle mmg susu darah kaler merah,... huu... juz thinking about it can make me sick, apetah pula, melihatnye depan mate.. eee... sakit sgt.. i asked a few friends yg fortunately takde problem mase awal2 BF.. jelesnye... mmg i read dat the level of soreness varies for every mom depending on their nipple sensitivity. y? y? y very sensitive? huhu. or mayb sebab tak latch properly, or mayb d nipple is too small n etc. bt i dun hv other problems. mmg my nipple sgt sensitive. dats it :( sedih bcuz i mmg dh niat dr awal lagi, b4 mengandung lg (huhu, over!), i really really really want to exclusively BF my baby :( tp bak kate cfah, takpe, penghapus dosa. tahan je la :( so gune breastpump pn tak menjadi.. last2, perah gune tangan jer... haaa.. baru berhasil.. d darah tak kuar, juz d milk.. tp sgt la letih sbb lame... huhu... redha je la, asalkn tak bazir susu tu. so all in all, about 3 weeks plus la, i've been battling w d pain.. gilir2 luka dtg dan pergi for lefty n righty... bagus juga beli breastpump awal2.. i think mmg spatutnye beli awal.. huhu. so for first timers, sile beli beastpump awal2!! :) nw my breastmilk is being pumped every 2-3 hours if baby still tido... tamau bazir susu.. n i did store them in the fridge.. utk emergency.. while having visitors ke... kene kluar kejap ke... bik nelly boleh tlg bottlefeed zara... so dats about it. i was close to giving up. bt alhamdulillah, by having a good n positive support system; my family n friends (whoever u are), things are getting better now. thnks a bunch! insyaAllah. i thnk i'm ready to face the future. tym baby dh ade gigi lagi dahsat, they say.. warghhh... anyway, i survived my first challenge. :) sbb tu boleh cerite.. kalau tak.... nangis.... mcm i pulak baby. huhu. sorry huby.. and thanx for being very2 supportive. love love love you. bak kate jams yg dipetik dr wonderpets.. ape yg penting... KERJASAME!!! hahahha. (lame)

Salam Amal,
Masya Allah. Ok ni Kak Intan share few experince masa both my pealrs lahir dulu. Both alhamdullilah berjaya 100% breast feed without any mix susu formula. Kak Intan pun ada problem sama dgn Amal. Few tips I got from friends and Dr are: use good morning towel rendam dalam air panas, perah then tuam atas breast/sekitar area breast. Urut ke arah bawah (from atas breast until sampai ke breast kita) for few mins (around 5 mins). Then insyallah susu tu keluar dengan lancar. After that guna tgn utk perah, lebih lancar dan mudah. Before breast feed, korek mulut baby and lidah dia guna soft towel yg juga direndam dgn air suam, cuci dalam mulut and lidah dia. Sebab lidah dan hisapan dia yg buat nipple kita luka. Then lepas tu baru susukan dia. Or everyday sapukan nipple dengan madu, urut2 nipple dan sambil tu berdoa agar Allah permudahkan breast feed kita. Insyallah, lama2 nipple jadi lembut. Alhamdullilah, what Allah creates is suitable for all His creation. Of course ada few dugaan, tapi insyallah akan berjaya. Take care and all the best my dear.
love
kak intan
amal....samala...mmg cracked n luka.smpai darah.mandi pn pedih sgt nipples.maybe kita xpndai lg kan...xpela experience...petua frm my dr...lepas nyusu sapu the milk tu kt nipple.cepat baik.alhamdulillah mmg cpt baik.sejak amalkn cam ok la...cuma rafiq sgt kuat nyusu. agak penat.every hour nak nyusu.hehhee
Dear Amal, get your hubby to buy Palmer's nipple cream, easiest way is to go to An-Nur outpatient, go to the counter and ask for nipple cream, it was advised by a senior nurse at An-Nur. Apply before and after nursing, it does not need to be washed prior to BF, that's the best part. I encountered the same thing in 2007, I was practically giving my baby blood! Alhamdulillah the cream work wonders and I'm still breastfeeding him at the age of 2+..try it out..and happy breastfeeding.
ah, u start telling stories i can never relate to :|
it's ok, kinda new experience, n new reading material for me too . tehhee. tkpnah bace2 psl bayi2 nih hiks.
nipple I pulak.. bla bla bla *hey, anak dare diam!*
hahahhah
salam unty,
anis here. kalau nak crack nipple cepat baik, jangan pakai bra. kalau bole anginkan breast tu. kalau asyik terperap dalam bra je luka susah nak baik. ;-D
anyway, tips yg your fren bagi ni very useful. i tried it too. btw, dr. kham bagi petua nak susu banyak makan halba satu sudu kecik. i tried dat too. n, i also drink lots of milo... banyak susu. sampai bengkak susu.... :-D
aunty,
lagi satu nak pesan, nipple jangan sabun. kalau sabun nanti cepat crack n susu kering (ni pesan org2 tua). basuh dgn air suam je...
anis~
