Alhamdulilah, my little one (lo) still drink breast milk up till today.
I hope he will continue untill he is 2 years.
I can share with you that it was not easy at all. One must have strength to continue their breastfeeding journey.
I am working as a customer service officer. Always and almost busy at all time, I told myself that the milk is there for my lo. It needed to be xpress regularly.
If i worked morning shift (8am to 5pm), I'll be in office at about 7am. Ate my breakfast and express milk for 20 minutes.
I started xpressing my milk by using avent manual pump. It was both tiring and time consuming. I borrowed my SIL Spectra pump, it was heavy to bring along to office and it needed a plug for me to use.
My office do not have any nursing room, we shared our surau (men & women). It is not convenience at all. So i bought medela fs and xpress my milk at my workstation every 3 hours. I used the nursing cover.
Luckily I have great managers and colleagues that understand and never complained whenever I express my milk for my lo. Thanks guys and girls!
I didn't take any milk booster. What I did was I didn't skip my meal and drank a lot of plain water. And I am still under weight.. Seriously, I ate like there's no tommorrow and still weighted at 47kg.
So, new mothers! Please be strong and be very hardworking on your journey breastfeeding your lo.
Seek help if you're down.
Till we meet again.
Tata!
