My Breast Feeding Journey 1

I've been breastfeeding Noel for 6 months plus now...Yippie!! I reach my target!! My next target is to breastfeed him until he reach 1 year old..Hopefully I manage to achieve my aim!!

Breastfeeding my little noel is not an easy journey for me. However,I'm so grateful that my family especially my husband is very supportive. He is the one who always encourage me to breastfeed noel as long as I can. The very first day Noel born to this beautiful world, my hubby is the one who encourage me to breastfeed Noel. On the day he born , 12th March 2009 my milk supply was very little. Noel was born on 5.55am but I only manage to breastfeed him at 5.30pm. The first attempt is not as easy as what we've heard and read. I was so frustrated because Noel keep on crying as my breast did not produce enough milk for him. Luckily at 10.30am the nurse already fed him with a supplement( I also not sure what it is). He cried until he fall asleep.. Kasih mai Noel..

Due to my ignorance, I decided to give him formula milk when he still demand for milk even after breastfeeding. However, overtime despite Noel doing well on the first few day his suckling has slackened and that his mouth is not opened as wide as before. I believe that it's due to the use of bottle feeding. Due to that my breast engorged and it was damn painful!!

Then I started to googling on how to overcome this problem. One of my favourite website is http://www.susuanibu-pk.gov.my/penyusuan-susu-ibu.html . This website has all of the information on breastfeeding. For mothers who has zero knowledge on breastfeeding this website is highly recommended by me..hehehe....Ripley believe it or not..I've printed every single data in this website.....the information is A+++... Besides this link, there's another link that might be useful for nursing mother out there www.susuibu.com . From this website also, aku telah terjebak with cloth diapering..hehehe.
