I have started working after a long break on 5th of May.As usual once you get back from a long 'holiday' (well, i wont say confinement is a holiday), work starts piling. The first at work, i didt get any chance to even go to the toilet.
During my confinement, i breastfeed Baby D every 2 hours.So the final days of my confinement i asked my Husband its doing to be very difficult for me to pump during office hour. I did bought an electric breast pump and a nursing poncho.
Doing my work while pumping is difficult. I think all working mothers' understand what i meant.I personally prefered direct feeding for Baby D but im at the office from 9am til 530pm.
It does effect my milk supplies. Before this during my confinement, after each direct feeding i wil make sure that my 'tanks' will be empty by pumping again.So, each session i will get 3-4 oz/. Thats during after direct feeding.
But now, i hardly direct feed Baby D during the day, my supplies tend to decreased. It does stressed me out but then again, i just have to keep a positive thoughts about it.
I do take suppliment for my self and also as a milk booster. I took supplement form Shaklee. Consists of Vit-c, Zink, B - Complex, Alfalfa, and others. But then again, it didnt help much.
So no other choices i have to give Baby D formula milk. At first since he was born the nurses in Columbia gave him Anmum milk. But when he turns 1 month old. me and Husband decided to changed to Nestle Lactogen. My mom asked me to gave him S26 as that was my formula when i was a baby. But S26 is a soy based milk. Since i have a long history of Eczema, and assuming Baby D would inherited the same gene as i am, i stick to Nestle Lactogen instead.
Alhamdulilah! He likes it.The thought of my milk is slowly decreasing, i felt abit down because i was pretty determine to breastfeed Baby D as long as he wanted too but then again like i said and like i told myself 'maybe, setakat ni aje rezeki susu badan yang aku boleh bagi anak aku minum'. Positive mind.
