Salam Ramadhan al Mubarak

Hola..Lama sangat tak update, sampai tak tahu nak tulis yang mana satu dulu…

So many things have happened… and was too busy with work (alasan standard!!)

Whatever it is, first thing first…

Salam Ramadhan al Mubarak lovelies..

I wish you and your family good health, a lot of happiness and blessings in this holy month…

Semoga kita dapat mengerjakan puasa yang sempurna disisi Allah… Insya Allah…

 

So far, fasting has been a breeze for me…challenge part is just nak make sure that I can sustain my EBM supply… the first 3 days of Ramadhan I couldn’t fast… Miss P finally made its decision to pay a visit again after 1 year and 1 month of hiatus…ceisss….just a few days of Ramadhan, tetiba plak dapat period…baru jer berangan thinking that I will get to fast for the whole month this year…end up, awal2 pon dah cuti….haihhh…anyway, back to EBM, on my first day of fasting (3rd Ramadhan), pump kat office, skali pump dapat 2oz je…homaigodddd….terkezutttt oiiii…sikit bebeno ni….tapi chill lagi…4th Ramadhan, I made sure I drank a lot of water the night before, more than 2litres la…pump during the day, per session 2oz jugak….aiyayaa….start to freak out la ni… tak caya, tgk la gambo kat bawah ni ha….

Tweeted this and uploaded kat FB jugak….got a lot of feedbacks from other mommies…ramai kasi suggestion on what I can do to improve…Alhamdulillah, thank you sangat2….so what I’m doing for today is, minum ayaq byk giler sampai rasa mcm nak muntah woiii….malam je dari berbuka until bed-time, I think I drank about 3litres+…. Toilet break memang toksah kata la….byk kali kot pi toilet…bak kata org Terengganu, mmg bese abehh!!...ahaha…then sahur bgn, made sure today I eat a full hearty meal, 2 toasts, scrambled egg, hashbrown 2 keping and pan fried home-made chicken pops…hamek kauu…mmg kenyang sampai paksa-paksa diri makan…. Then top it up with another 2litres of water…took my Shaklee supplements and also Moringa tablets…. Harap-harapnye ade la improvement…for now, I haven’t pump yet…satgi noon time nak pi meng-express…wish me luck mommies!!

Sambungan update from the entry:

Went to express milk at 1pm… Now that Aaryan is already 1yr+, I’m only expressing milk sekali sehari je…Alhamdulillah, can see improvement today… If yesterday I only get 1.9oz, today in 1 session, I manage to get 3.6oz… Alhamdulillah, syukur sangat-sangat…cukup for 1 feeding for Aaryan – he only drinks about 3oz skali minum, sikit kan…eheheh…but he eats a lot – sume benda dia sapu :-) ….If like this, I’m planning to start expressing more frequently, mcm baru start dulu, just to give some stimulation…huhu…what I did last night to increase my supply today was:


1. Drink a lot of plain water – like reallllllyyyyy a lot – around 5litres kot, dari berbuka until imsak
2. Took 3 tablets of Moringa supplement before sleep, bought from Lunatots Giant KD
3. Took my Shaklee breastfeeding supplement, bought from Lydzar
4. Eat a complete meal during iftar with 3 biji kurma
5. Makan kuih for supper – last night I had burger bakar hokeh…forced hubby to go out and get one cos I was so friggin hungry…hahah…
6. Eat a healthy meal during a sahur (as mentioned previously..ehehe) with 3 biji kurma

Today, I plan untuk add on with Soya Drink…niat nye nak cari Soy Drink Melilia tu…but dunno where I can get it…do u think I can find it at Giant ke ar? Let me know ya mommies…
Till then, happy berbuka puasa with your loved ones…and jgn lupe terawikh!! That’s our “exercise” for this month…*wink*….

White!

after a whole week of green milk...akhirnye susu kembali putih today...back kata Nia..da jadi susu snow white again..no more shrek milk...ahaah..

Kaler yg Berbeza

i dunno why..but my ebm is changing color..express pagi lain warna...noon time lain warna..petang pon lain...the one on the right tu, kalo tgk under natural light looks whitish greenish..my husband said, susu flavor pandan kah?!.. ahahah..what about u mommies out there?.. hv u experienced something similar?

Mother's Room

So, yesss...I am back in the office officially since Monday minggu ni...Workload takde lagi....masih boleh bersuka ria....dah start joining meetings again....lots of things to catch up....boss pon dah warning lepas ni much buckle up...cos banyak project baru...tapi sementara kerja tak menimbun lagi ni, I'm still enjoying my first week...:p...so I thought of sharing this special room that we have here at the office - the Mother's Room - my favourite room antara sume sume bilik yg ade (ohhh..apart frm the rest & relax room of course :-) )...kat opis ni, if mommies nak express susu, this is where we go...alhamdulillah, I'm thankful that I'm working with a company yang sangat baby-friendly... Shell supports breastfeeding you all!!...ahahah...and as part of their support for work-life balance too jugak la derang buat bilik ni ha...enough talk....let me just share some pictures with everyone...

The room is pretty big....roughly ade dalam 20 seats available for mommies to pump serentak...we have curtain partitions to separate each other during pumping session....we have seats yg macam ala2 single seater sofa...and we also have seats yg siap ade table and a mirror...ala-ala macam dressing table gitew....on top of that, each set of seat, will have 2 plug points....one point for the pump, and another one is for your laptop (In case anyone needs to be working while pumping)...we even have LAN points available, but of course the whole building is wifi enabled....tapi so far takde lagi la tengok mommies yg super rajin yg siap nak buat kerja time pumping kan...ahahah...

also, in the room, are 2 fridges....to store the EBMs....we have 4 full sized sterilizers for anyone to use...baby dishwashing liquid...and lockers to store our pumps....and to encourage breastfeeding lagi, they also provide 3 spectra pumps for anyone to use....so boleh bawak the tubes and kit je and connect...kalo taknak gune opis, boleh la angkut pump sendiri dari umah....for me, i just leave my pump at the office, cos i rarely pump at home....petang-petang angkut EBM je balik....

ok la...enjoy the pictures and happy pumping dear mommies!

Susu

susu susu susu.... rasenye these past 3 weeks, i drink, sleep and even dream about milk...ahhaa... that's how obsessed i've been with milk... during my pregnancy last time kan i've been wanting to breastfeed Aaryan longer than Nia... Nia dulu tak tahan lama...lepas 2 weeks je da campo formula kot.... susu tak banyak that time then time tu plak buta ilmu skit...akakak.... so ended up i gave up and gave in to s26...ahahaha.... this time, Alhamdulillah, so far so good...mommy kena la sacrifice skit...this time pantang i still eat mcm biasa...takde diet ke ape (like what i did time nia dulu)...nasi maintain, lauk pon maintain....minum air bergelen-gelen...ahaha...tak campo with herbs drink and susu and horlicks and bagai macam la....so result?....
