I noticed that my milk production dah sampai zaman gawat skang. And I’m pretty sure the reason is tak lain tak bukan sebab aku stress (read my other blog). Even aku direct feed jer last weekend, but I noticed that sometimes Sofeya cam tak puas menyusu, and most obvious reason is the breast jarang sgt bengkak.
Pumping? Still continued as usual, Cuma bila pump, nowadays Cuma dpt avg dlm 2oz jer per session.. :( mmg sedih.. tapi aku buat bodo jer la.. apa nak buat kan..
That is how bad stress can affect your milk production.
Yang menambahkan teruk lagi, pasal not only pump dpt sikit, direct feed pun kdg2 aku rasa Sofeya tak puas.. sometimes sampai aku rasa breast kering kontang.. I even tot of panaskan my frozen stok utk bagi dia minum mlm2.. huhhu sampai mcm tu skali.. but alhamdulillah belum sampai ke situ lagi la..
Tapi tak per.. let’s put my problem aside..
I mentioned in my previous post pasal not shaking the EBM kan? By shaking i mean mcm goncang botol susu tu.. like whenever we prepare the formula milk, mix the tepung and the water, then shake. haa.. like that kindda shake.
Normally, chilled EBM ni akan divided into 2 layer, top one is the fat, lower is the water. The fat layer, of course, has the richest nutrients. So naturally, bila nak serve the EBM, we wud wanna make sure that all the fat layers (especially yg melekat kat dinding botol) are mixed with the water. And the result, of course lah shaking the bottle kan?
Well i did that lah dulu2.. until i read in susuibu.com, that you CANNOT DO THAT!
Why? because it will destroy all the nutrient in the milk. Reason? eermm.. well i wudn't know how to explain scientifically in detail, tapi from my understanding, is that breast milk punya nutrient are very fragile, that when you shake them, they will become loose, and destroyed.
So alternatively, when u wanna mix the 2 layers (actually bila panaskan, they will eventually mixed), just GENTLY SWIRL the bottle.
Jgn shake2 eh? Rugi jer khasiat susu ibu.
p/s nak dekat posa nieh.. i better kerja keras nak stock up the milk!

I think naik turun milk supply tu perkara biasa bg working mum yg bfeed ni (talking after 15 months in this industry... hehehe). Since our diet, mood and stress level pun sentiasa up and down. Nak breastfeed ni, perkara paling penting bg aku ialah KUAT SEMANGAT.
Muhammad pun dah biasakan diri dgn up and down milk supply ni, bila ada banyak, dia minum banyak, bila sikit...dia redha...heheh
lia - wahhh.. dah 15 mths eh? how fast time flies... rasa mcm baru jer aku baca post hang dlm pantang.. :)
