When i got pregnant with Akif, i planned to try to breastfeed him for at least 6 months. Eksklusif ke tak, itu decide kemudian. Bukan tak nak..tapi ada byk obstacles yang perlu ditempuhi.
Some may say..apa yg susah sgt breastfeeding ni. Well, to me bukan susah tapi mencabar coz 2 anak sebelum ni tak berjaya. First baby - Lack of knowlegde, kurang support led, to poor latching to mastitis and failure to breastfeed. Second baby - had a good start yg mula di labour room...tapi because mixed feeding so baby got nipple confused. Alhamdulillah went to see a lactation counsellor so dapat la menyusukan semula. It lasted for nine months tapi mixed feeding jugak la.
Kali ni determined to do better. Did lots of reading. So lepas bersalin je, BF di labour room. Tapi susu lambat jugak datang. Nurse advised to mixed feed sampai susu established. Mula2 reluctant tapi bila nurse cakap nanti baby hipotermia la..kuning la..tak poopoo la so..akhirnya setuju dengan syarat, bila baby lapar, let me BF dulu. Kalau nangis baru bagi FM.
Tapi..kali ni cabaran lain pulak datang. So..i decided to share my BF problems, segala kemusykilan that i had, with other mommies that might be going through or are having the same doubts themselves.
Happy reading!
