sambung dari komen aku kat facebook mye ..
ni just nak explain perubahan seblum and selepas pakai medela freestyle..
aksi-aksi pengepaman ko refer sini...
1. sejak 2-3 months seblum aku beli/pakai FS, aku pakai spectra 3 and the supply was dwindling down, slowly dia turun, makin sket... and was slowly using up all my frozen stash... dahla aku dok campo sket air nak top up susu (to send to sitter during daytime)... aku send with 2 botol 10 oz... 9 oz EBM, aku masuk botol tambah 1 oz water.... rationing my milk... tapi tu pon stock aku dwindling.... bila aku cecah only 2 frozen stash left.... baru aku decided to buy FS.... but as u can note here... my production was on the way down for the duration of 2-3 months... bila FS aku sampai, stash aku ZERO.... sampai right on time... gile lah...
2. after aku pakai FS, susu makin banyak...
and orang2 yg perati susu aku mmg komen naik.. iaitu rafiq...
die uruskan susu amir pagi pagi.. he commented... whoo banyaknye susu...
and also my officemate, we share a fridge and take turns pumping.. and die pun notice the increase... weii gile banyak susu kau...
(so its not just my imagination)... tak perlu aku add water sket tu hahah 100% EBM.
lagipun sebab seblum tu sgt sikit susu aku.. so tu yg noticeable kot..
usually dapat 5oz tops each time pam, menyebabkan aku kena pam selalu...
pam slalu tapi tak naik naik pon...
kenkadang pam angin, so meaning I waster 15mins for nothing...
lepas FS tetiba naik dapat ~10 oz sekali harung..
(ikut time gak la kalau aku period maybe 7oz je, but kalau guna spectra i'd get 3-4 oz je time period.. soo its an increase also..)
2 March 2009 @ 9:02 AM - Masih guna spectra 3, last day
2 March 2009 @ 3:17 PM - Masih guna spectra 3 last day
15 March 2009 @ 10:08 AM - Dah pakai FS since 3 or 4th March camtu ..
29 April 2009 @ 9:07 AM - Dah pakai FS...
At variation, due to hormones, stress, amir reverse/normal cycling, etc....
Low ouput guna FS would be look like this, botol tak penuh.. lowest i think around 7oz camtu (aku bandingkan pagi punye outcome):
High output guna FS would be like this....
1 kali pam tapi terbabas sampai kena guna 2 bottles
3. Also, now no effort is needed for the 1st letdown...
aku tak start pum pun dah letdown...
dulu I have to concentrate real hard to even get the 1st letdown...
tengok movie amir, tgk gamba amir etc..
skang ni.... aku masuk pantry, lock the door....
open my shirt, unclasp the bra... let the boobs air out... perubahan suhu..
sambil2 tu aku akan pasang the corong2 and valves... (bab ni leceh sket FS)..
so time ni nipples dah cam di train yg lepas diorang bebas dari bra, diorang akan dipam...
die rase perubahan suhu.. dalam bra panas, lepas tu tetiba sejuk... merenyut...then letdown..
for the past month, aku tak sempat nak ON pam pun, dah letdown....
kenkadang aku rase cam race againts time...
sebab aku tak pasang lagi attachment nak pam ni... tapi susu dah nak keluar..
(macam org sakit perut berlari-lari carik jamban je rase...cepat, cepat cepat, sempat tak ni?)
tahla, aku rase macam magic gakla....
takde org sedut, takde pam sedut.. but still can let down..
kenkadang aku tak sempat pasang, habis seluar aku kena susu menitik..
harini, mmg tak sempat... menitik la atas lantai... aku masih tgh nak pasang attachments...
maybe "Pavlovian effect?"....
yg ujikaji bagi food kat anjing sambil bunyik loceng, anjing tu will drool..
then after a few times buat camtu.. dog is conditioned..
by just bagi loceng bunyik, no food.. the dog will drool...
aku bukak bra, tapi tak pam... tapi will letdown...
I think lah... hahahha
4. pastu.. 90% of the time, I would get a 2nd letdown... so tu pasal kot susu meningkat...
maybe due to the 2 phase expression thingy..
now everytime, i'd get a 2nd letdown.. except for the time aku nak cepat... so aku malas nak spend time pumping, after 1st letdown aku terus cabut and basuh
5. tapi aku benci gile nak cuci and pasang attachments die...
menbuatkan aku malas nak pam selalu.. so aku pam 2 kali je sehari...
2 kali pam dapat 20oz, cukupla nak bagi kat sitter..
kalau aku rajin, boleh je nak pam 3-4 kali... time ni yg aku bina frozen stock...
skang stock aku dah terbina.. 22 times 7 oz frozen stash...
dalam masa 3 bulan aku guna FS ni...
tapi malas betul aku nak pam... lecehs... kalau aku rajin, sure berstock-stock...
6. pastu silicone breastshield die ni cam fragile.. senang lose shape, thus losing suction bila dah lose shape.. so kena ganti selalu.. syaz kata 6 mths die ganti baru.. around rm60..
5. pastu disebabkan susu aku banyak... aku tak jaga makan... no more eating oatmeals, soya, longan.... now I eat crap.. buncit aa plak aku rase.... so ini pun payah gak.... i have no motivation to eat healthily....
SEKIAN TERIMA KASIH....
DISCLAIMER: AKU TAK PROMOTE FS, TAPI NI CITER PENGALAMAN AKU SENDIRIK JER.... MUNGKIN KORANG PAKAI SUSU MERUDUM/TAK NAIK?? AKU TAKTAU AA TU...
anyways feel free to meet me to hear and see the FS...
aku gi gathering 4 july ni..
also usually aku kat curve ahad.. gym... so holla at me....
ni just nak explain perubahan seblum and selepas pakai medela freestyle..

BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY TO 1 YEAR OLD, PART I
(belum habis citer labor dah bukak citer baru hahah)
ooo and I forgot... yesterday marks the 1 year of fully breastfeeding amir..
after 6 months of exclusively BF la
(yes, aku nak gak ngaku exclusively ...
I choose to ignore the 1 oz of formula that amir drank after 2 days of life.. sebab sungguh negligible..
1oz is nothing compared to all the freakin hard work and effort and time and pain and the thousands of ozs to BF my baby...
so I'm saying exclusively and fully... )
anyways.. as I was saying... it has been 1 full year!...
memula, aku tak kisah pun .. whatever lah...
then aku nak at least the colostrum for my baby....
then lepas aku beli pam spectra.. aku nak at least 2 months fully BF.. so that can get my money's worth buying spectra 3 for RM400..
then aku target 4 mths.. then 6 months.. now dah 1 year...
sebab makin lama, aku makin nampak the benefits of BF..... people can say good things.. but until u experience it yourself, baru motivated...
and I have to say.... the effect of fully breastfeeding has been great (on the baby, not me.. the effect was hell on me)..
setakat ni... only 3 serius case of demam/high temp... (serius as in serius enough for me to bring him to see a dr. lah... not dying serius)
2 of those involves runny nose and sakit tekak batuk...
no constipation.... taik kuar semua lembut..
eventhough he did go for more than 10 days without pooping...
I wasnt worried... but orang semua sebok nak suruh aku bagi prune juice, apple juice, orange juice...
nasib baik aku DEGIL !!!!...
sometimes u need to trust your own instict...
aku tau formula babies mmg prone to constipation...
but exclusively BF babies are known for sometimes taking days between each poop...
just rejoice at not having to change poop diapers jelah...
okeh aku malas nak citer sal kebaikan BF... u can google it
nak citer sal the BF journey
PRE-LABOR
memula aku beli avent isis.. manual
the only pump I knew.. coz tu je yang in mainstream market...
bought it before baby lahir...
coz ade sale hahaha.. and coz dapat bottles/teats and thermal bag...
so kalau pam pam takde hasil (me no milk)...
at least can use the avent bottles and bag..
POSTLABOR
After labor, cuci cuci baby, dr tanye nak breastfeed ke formula..
aku reply "breastfeed kot" ..sambil tengok rafiq... I can go both ways..
(little did I know, this answer was really crutial and quite a turning point)
then nurse bagi baby suruh breastfeed.. tapi amir being amir, degil and pursed his lips tanak susu...
so giveup..... (I didnt know about the WHO(?) mission, to breastfeed newborn within first 30 mins of life)
then masa kat spital, nurses kept bringing the baby to me to be fed...
I was tired...so aku slalu cuba.. and bila susah nak latch .. or terunlatch..
i kept sending the baby back to nursery hahah
I want sleep damnit!
sampai one time.. a nurse indian garang ..bawak baby and cakap baby tak kenyang, susukan...
i told her I just fed him for 1/2 hour.. now no milk..
then die pulas nipple aku... susu keluar.... "tu susu, feed the baby"
damn, garang gileerr.....!
and also setiap pagi (2 pagi je aku kat situ)....lactation nurse datang lawat and gave me tips how to hold..
how to store milk, how to thaw, what not to do ...
(DONT PUT CABBAGE ON YOUR BREAST....I was like, why the heck would I do that?
turns out ramai bagi aku nasihat ni.. even the makcik tukang urut, which makes me even more sure yang segala pantang larang tu sebnanye crap.....)
also... masa discharge hospital, aku tunggu kat waiting room seblah nursery.. rafiq gi bayar...
then ade another chinese couple... pun nak discharge.... nurse tu kasik tin susu, and other sample formulaes...
I was like... free stuff! aku pun nak.... (kiasu-nye)
but diorang tak bagi kat aku.... they gave me medela pureLan cream (big tube)... and breast silicon compress...
(and other free stuff cam pampers etc)...
masa tu aku dissappointed apsal tak bagi aku susu... 1 tin okay...
now I see the committment of SJMC to support breastfeeding... maybe not promoting... they let u make a choice....
but once u decide to BF.. they support it...and stick to it.. by not offering free formulaes ..
eventhough the formula companies would give them samples and money to distribute their products..
coz I know some hospital do still give out free formula to every mother regardless whether they are BF or formula...
and when the hospital do that... then that somewhere down the road... will help menjatuhkan usaha BF tu..
moms will be like.. alamak formula ni rugi tak guna.... lets use it!.. then supply will drop when u introduce formula...
anyways, after that I found out that the medela PureLan tube cost Rm50.. and the compress pun Rm50+...
so I was pacified for not getting free formula....heheheh....
AT HOME
latching was problem...... coz I got 1 inverted nipple... (now not inverted at all!! hhahaha TMI??)...
to be continued...
(belum habis citer labor dah bukak citer baru hahah)
ooo and I forgot... yesterday marks the 1 year of fully breastfeeding amir..
after 6 months of exclusively BF la

Happy 1st Birthday Amir Ridhwan .....
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'

Everywhere I'm looking now

LABOR DAY STORY PART I
=========================================
sempena count down to amir's first birthday...
akhirnye I'm writing bout my birth story...
bak kata kak eila... ni adalah anniversary hari aku melahirkan amir..
anyways... ni gamba melawat baby kak eila... gabriel umairah.. gabby
at this time..7.5 months pregnant...
I have 1.5 months to go.. coz gabby lahir 2 may 2008...
Jumaat (13 June 2008)
Aku bercuti annual leave ke in-lieu leave....
Aku gi sale yang kat 3K....bersesak-sesak...
Pastu malas nak lalu jem, I parked jauh.. so panjat la aku jejantas tu..
I bought some Anna Sui cosmetics...
pastu gy pyramid... konon nak jumpa ngn adik aku.. tapi die nak gi main futsal lak kat USJ..so aku jalan sorang...
Weekend Sabtu and Ahad... (14-15 June 2008)
Aku gi sale Xixili.... fuh sesak nak mampos...
my belly is not an excuse for people to be sorry for me I guess..
Pastu.. tengah hari till petang I went to watch rafiq main volleyball..
hari sukan PWC i think..
Pastu gi midvalley for my exercise.. I walk in malls as my exercise...
Ahad, aku gi sale xixili tu balik ahahahha...
sebab nak beli lagi Bra yg best tu...bought 5-6 of the same ones..
(which till now I cant wear coz now Im all about nursing bra without wire..)
pastu gi shopping at ikea/curve area..
Isnin (16 June 2008)
Aku tak buat ape.. aku masih guna annual leave, esok baru aku start maternity leave..start gak la cuti bersalin, walaupun due date 21st...
semua org kecoh suh aku cuti.. takut terberanak kat opis kot...
(actually doktor dah bagi aku MC sejak 2 weeks ago..
tapi cam tak perlu je amek... )
aku dok rumah... main internet.. tengok TV....
dari pagi sampai kemalam... bosan nak mampos..
esok aku nak gi shopping la..
then kul 9 malam... felt this contractions....
ape bezanye with braxton hicks?
when the time comes, u'll know it....
and I knew... tapi takut aku silap...
so I timed it... memula 45 mins apart...
makin lama makin cepat..
rafiq dah terbongkang tido atas katil...
aku malas nak kacau.... I'll wake him bila dah masa...
so aku pun setiap kali contractions berguling2 aa atas katil menahan...
rafiq masih tak sedar diri... hampeh...
sometimes bila tak tahan, aku gi mandi...
sambil-sambil tu... aku gi pack barang.... and main my Nintendo DS...
game ape ek nama die...7 wonders of egypt..? camtu la.. matching game...
best gile...
anyways, aku pun terseksa la sendiri sensorang sepanjang malam..
4-5 kali gak aku gi mandi..
Enema-ed myself 2 times.. nak elakkan terberak on the table...
I thought it was enough....
Selasa (17 June 2008)
doktor kata when it's 10 mins apart, then baru gi hospital...
tapi at 15 mins apart, aku dah tak tahan dok umah...
masa ni umah aku takde aircond... and it was freaking hot and I was sweating everytime contractions...
at least kat spital ade aircond kan.... kejut la rafiq....
so we went to SJMC... at 5.00am...
the nurse check opening dah 3cm.. yep in labour... (aku sebnanye cuak diorang kata, ni bukan labor lagi lah)
then they enema-ed me.. industrial size enema....
and aku gi jamban.. ade lagi banyak saki baki crap in me...
that's one helluva enema..
they they strapped me in... monitor blood pressure, monitor perut....
sambungkan kat graph2 tu...
then they IV-ed me..... antibiotics coz I was positive for strep B....
I hate needles.. takutnye masa nak masukkan jarum kat tangan tu..
and then to leave it the for days lak tu.... arghh the horror....
sambil-sambil tu... aku masih contractions every 10-13 mins...
sakitnye...... they asked whether I wanted epidural...
aku tanye can take now ke? they say can...
aku lak takut jarum epidural tu je...
fikir gak la 2-3 kali....
then sebab contractions tak tahan... aku cakap i want it !!..
then bila tunggu anethetisian datang.. and contractions abis... fikir lagi...
then 30 minit baru die sampai kot.... berpeluh2 dah aku masa ni...
chinese lady.. die bagi la aku lecture on possible side effects etc etc...
tapi aku tgh contractions so kuar telinga kiri... I want it now damn it....
then bila die nak buat.. die suruh go into fetal position...
aku pun merengkok la... mengigil2 aku.....takutnye jarum tu... die kata jangan gerak.. tapi aku mengigil..
nurse semua pegang aku.. rafiq pun pegang..
and at the first prick I did move.. then dr stop, die kata dok diam-diam...
fuhh tuhan jelah tau betapa susahnye nak achieve that diamness...
ngn gigil... ngn tahan contractions lagi.... die buat masa aku tak contract.. tapi then slow sgt hindered by my shaking...
tengah2 tu aku contract.... adeh.... lagi susah nak dok senyap...
after dah berjaya.... fuhh beza langit dan bumi.... i feel nothing....
not contractions at alll .. heavennyeerr...
then the waiting starts...time ni kul 6 kot....
kenkadang nurse masuk to pee-me.... masukkan catheder and kuarkan pee aku..
masa die buat tu, aku tak rase ape... aku ingat citer horor kak ina..
die kata nyilu and pedih.... ..thank you happydural...
nurse tu tekan2.. and got a bowful of my pee... mane datang air banyak ni....
ooo dari IV aku la... by the way, last time I ate was at 8 pm monday........
and last time I slept was sunday to monday morning....
so at 8 am selasa morning aku dah tak makan 12 jam and tak tido 24 jam...
sambil2 tunggu terbukak 10cm.. aku cuba nak tido... tapi takleh sgt ...
tak selesa... dedua kaki aku limp....
so rase pelik je....
dr. kata jangan pakai handphone or devices near the machines kat perut tu..
tapi after 1-2 hours of boredom.. aku gi main gak nintendo DS aku..
and so we wait

Weekend Sabtu and Ahad... (14-15 June 2008)

Isnin (16 June 2008)
Aku tak buat ape.. aku masih guna annual leave, esok baru aku start maternity leave..start gak la cuti bersalin, walaupun due date 21st...
semua org kecoh suh aku cuti.. takut terberanak kat opis kot...
(actually doktor dah bagi aku MC sejak 2 weeks ago..
tapi cam tak perlu je amek... )
aku dok rumah... main internet.. tengok TV....
dari pagi sampai kemalam... bosan nak mampos..
esok aku nak gi shopping la..
then kul 9 malam... felt this contractions....
ape bezanye with braxton hicks?
when the time comes, u'll know it....
and I knew... tapi takut aku silap...
so I timed it... memula 45 mins apart...
makin lama makin cepat..
rafiq dah terbongkang tido atas katil...
aku malas nak kacau.... I'll wake him bila dah masa...
so aku pun setiap kali contractions berguling2 aa atas katil menahan...
rafiq masih tak sedar diri... hampeh...
sometimes bila tak tahan, aku gi mandi...
sambil-sambil tu... aku gi pack barang.... and main my Nintendo DS...
game ape ek nama die...7 wonders of egypt..? camtu la.. matching game...
