Iman is officially 6 months old. Today is 1st October. Since there is no 31st September, I decided to set this 1st Oct as her officially 6th month’s milestone. Her weight when she was 5 months 21 days is 7.1kg.
Paling bersyukur, saya telah berjaya fully breastfeed Iman selama 6 bulan. Alhamdulillah sangat. Tetapi pencapaian tidaklah begitu memberangsangkan since Iman start her solid at 5 months 2 weeks. Sob..sob…Iman sangat pandai makan sekarang. Kalau dulu perlu dipaksa untuk telan (saya tak nak paksa-paksa), sekarang Iman terus menyuakan mulutnya sendiri untuk mencapai sudu beliau. Sangat suka puree mango + breastmilk. Agaknya macam air yogurt gitu. Hahaha.. Ayah Iman kate ..kesian Iman..gross betul makanan dia. Hehe..mana ade gross kan Iman. My breastmilk is your favourite food ever right? =p
Proses penghasilan EBM semakin merudum. Only 4++ Oz for each session, every 2 to 3 hours. I only managed to have 4 sessions during day time because she eats a lot during night. Total around 16 to 18 Oz only EBM to bring home. And Iman consume minimum 12 Oz and maximum 18Oz. The amount of her intake reduced might be because of her introduction to solid.
Starting last week, I tried to recover; to resume my breastmilk supply. Try to wake at 230am to have the 5th pumping session but sometimes, I only managed to get around 1 to 2 oz because Iman eats a lot at night. I missed my days when I can achieve up to 40 Oz per day – 8 sessions every day. Sigh.
I don’t want to take Fenugreek anymore, due to its stink body odour after consuming it in spite of the goodness of it to boost more milk. (I tak nak la suami I lari jauh-jauh. Bau keling katanya…hehe)
Btw, since my milk production reduced 50% from 40oz to 20oz, my bestfriend pon datang sudah. Huh…setahun 4 bulan tidak berjumpa dengan beliau. Rasa kekok dan janggal pulak bila beliau datang. Lepas ini perlu berhati-hati. Iman belum nak adik lagi kan? =p Jangan dulu la…sebab mama sangat bersemangat nak nyusukan Iman 2 tahun tau!! Mudah-mudahan impian mama tercapai.
Ok, target seterusnya. 1 tahun penyusuan! InsyaAllah!
Posing memperagakan baju kurung menyusu.. boleh buat projek dengan anak di mana jua, bila-bila masa..hehe
