ramadhan tips for breastfeeding and nursing mommies

wa tak tipu la kalau wa cakap wa nervous gila nak sambut puasa besok pagi.macam mana la gamaknya nak menyusu kat faeq nanti.cukup ke tidak.kalau faeq 24 jam dengan wa, inshaallah wa boleh la lagi.the problem is faeq duduk dengan pengasuh.everyday bila ambil faeq dari rumah pengasuh, bila check beg susu dia wa mesti stress kalau tengok botol kosong banyak.

botol banyak = kena pam lebih -___-"

tapi setakat ni cukup je inshaallah.wa rasa ini lah pengorbanan seorang ibu yang menyusukan anak.besar pahala inshaallah.penat-penat pun, wa doaaaaa semoga cukup la susu untuk faeq.amin ya Allah :')

so buat research sikit, jumpa bahan bacaan yang wa rasa kita boleh gunakan and share bersama.

semoga Allah permudahkan usaha kita.amin :)

1. Eat during suhoor! And eat well

You may be type of person who only drinks during suhoor (pre-dawn meal) but it is very important to get enough nutrients and calories during the day for yourself and also for the milk production. Please make sure you eat! And take this chance to also follow the sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) of delaying the suhoor time. Remember to not over-eat and take some fruits! Fruits last longer in the tummy.

2. Consume dates and honey

Do not underestimate the power of dates! The sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) is the best practice. Take dates during suhoor – it’s the best energy provider during the day. I didn’t believe it at first but it makes a lot of difference. When I missed eating them, I felt so tired and lethargic. Also, take a spoon of honey. You’ll need these two important ingredients to keep yourself energised.

3. Extra meal supplement

I took Shaklee’s Energizing Soy Protein (ESP) drink last year, which helped to keep me feeling full longer during the day. I’m going to try Shaklee’s Meal Shake this time around because I don’t quite like the taste of the ESP. Sometimes a glass of Milo works for me too. I don’t do this every day; only when I think that my suhoor food is insufficient to keep me full.

4. Remember to take your milk booster during suhoor

Different people seem to have different forms of milk booster. Some prefer malt drinks like Horlicks. What works for me are oats and habbatus sauda capsules, which I took last year. It is important to take what you believe is your milk booster because I personally think that milk boosters are just the game of the mind. What you think works, will work.

5. Drink plenty of water! Avoid caffeinated drinks

Caffeinated drinks can decrease the liquids in your body and affect your milk production. Ensure that you drink plenty of water progressively (not at one go) from the time of breaking fast until suhoor time.

6. Think positively and have a strong mind

This goes back to point #4. If you think you can, you can. Stay strong and always end your suhoor with “I can survive today”.

7. Don’t overtire yourself during the day

Do your house chores at night, ask for assistance from your husband, rest as much as you need during the day, read the Quran, do zhikir and relax your mind by taking a short nap.  Tired bodies produce less milk.  

8. Make lots of dua!

Have faith and make lots of dua to Allah to give you strength and ease your fast.

9. If your milk production drops, don’t panic too soon!

Our body has a miracle way of adjusting to a certain routine. Let’s say if you’re trying to lose weight and you cut your food intake, you will start off feeling very hungry the first few days and then suddenly, you’re used to it. The same goes for milk production. You will notice that initially, your milk production will drop slightly. Ensure that you eat and drink well in between breaking fast and suhoor, allow a few days and you will notice that your body automatically adjusts to the new routine. Your milk production will get back to its normal (or close to normal) amount, insyaAllah.

10. Listen to your body and don’t force yourself

Think of your baby’s and your own health first. If you think that you’re getting sick, or that your baby is getting less wet nappies than the usual or looking dehydrated, or if you’re worried that your baby is not getting enough nutrients, don’t force yourself. Muslim women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be exempt from fasting if they feel that their health or the baby’s health would be negatively affected by the fasting.

jom kita buat yang terbaik untuk anak! 

selamat menjalani ibadah puasa di bulan ramadhan! :)

wa ni mmg dari dulu jadi doctor love kawan-kawan.pinjamkan telinga untuk dengar kawan-kawan mengadu.yang peliknya, wa pun suka dengar hehe kepoh mode ON! ;p dari kawan-kawan sampai la stranger yang wa kenal tak berapa minit.senang beno orang cerita dengan wa pasal masalah peribadi.selesa kot? hurm..

tapi bila dah tertulis 'doctor love' kat dahi ni, susah juga.kadang-kadang wa tak tau nak respon pada masalah/cerita yang wa dengar.contohnya bila anak murid tiba-tiba luah perasaan tentang keluarga, tentang abah ada girlfriend,ibu ada boyfriend, mama kena pukul dengan papa, umi mengamuk pecahkan barang-barang dalam rumah..wa jadi blurrr..apa yang wa boleh respon hanyalah minta mereka terus hormatkan ibu bapa.terus sayangkan mak ayah.jangan ada benci.ingatkan budak-budak ni ttg THE POWER OF DOA..berdoalah yang baik2.

kepada ibu ayah, mama papa, umi walid etc,

jangan bergaduh depan anak.

jangan saling bertengkar menjerit pekik depan anak.

jangan pukul suami/isteri depan anak (pukul2 manja gurau2 boleh laaa).

jangan buat apa-apa yang boleh melibatkan emosi anak terganggu.

yang penting kawallah kemarahan, nafsu serakah semua tu..

sedih..she's only 6 year old.

nak kena hadap benda bongok mcm ni.

teacher pun pening.

sama2lah kita.inshaallah

conversation with pakcik taxi :

me : hihi a'ah kecik lagi.baru kawen 2 tahun.

*pakcik toleh belakang pandang faeq*

pakcik : macam mat saleh.anak angkat ke?

me : err?

LAHAR KAN MULUT KO PAKCIK... T____T

faeq's meal

hola! and salam :)

wa kadang2 rajin gak mengelongkor (selongkar) blog-blog ibu2.suka tengok resepi yang diaorg masak for their babies.rajin.. :p wa tak la rajin sangat, tapi wa yakin makanan yang kita sediakan dari rumah adalah makanan yang terbaik buat anak.ye la plus dengan jampi serapah sekali supaya anak dengar kata, bijak, patuh cakap mama ayah hehe :p 

oh btw, wa terbaca somewhere, bila kita basuh beras untuk masak for our family we should baca doa yang baik and zikir of course.macam YA LATIF or selawat and then you niat dalam hati yang baik2..owh wa rasa wa patut paste the images.semoga kita dapat sama2 amalkan..inshaallah :)

ok sambung cerita tadi.bila baca blog2 ibu ini, ramai je yang memang sangat menjaga permakanan anak.ikut the rules etc.bagus la.tak salah pun, tapi kalau wa as long as kita tahu the limit, kebersihan and jumlah kandungan perasa etc sudah mencukupi kot.i mean for babies, tak kan pulak kita nak letak garam.lebihkan sayur etc.macam tu la kot.

wa baru try bagi faeq makan telur lepas umur 9 bulan.ini pun nurse yang suruh, sesuai dengan umur dia.and nak tengok kalau2 dia ada alah telur.so telur tu wa rebus and campur sekali dengan bubur dia.

bila makan, naik la juga ruam sekitar mulut dia.but as the nurse pesan keep bagi je sampai umur setahun even naik ruam.but i think kalau ruam sikit2 ok kot because after that hilang macam tu je.tapi kalau naik teruk, better stop.

and semalam wa teringin nak bagi faeq rasa ayam goreng.haha dah macam upin ipin pulak suka ayam goreng.wa potong bahagian isi and goreng guna olive oil.. (kerlas ko faeq!) hihi saje je.kebetulan ada olilve oil kat rumah so guna je la.

so far faeq ok je dengan semua yang wa bagi.ada yang bertanya ; "eh dia still makan bubur ke at 9 month?" 

hurm..abes nak bagi nasi bungkus ke? hehe tak de la main2 je.yup, still bubur cuma wa dah tak tapis macam awal2 dulu.saje nak latih dia kunyah.gigi pun baru dua batang.kang tercekik pulak wa yang susah.so buat masa ni, wa bagi yang lembut/lembik2 dulu.kadang2 share roti kentang dengan wa hahahaha :p 

ntah..ok je! as long as dia poopoo ok, ok je la kot! am a happy momma! :))

inshaallah, nanti dia dah pandai sikit boleh kot share soto pulak hahahaha 

ok till then! take care people! :)

"galakan bayi anda turut serta dalam proses berkenalan dengan makanan tersebut.misalnya beri dia sudu agak dia sama-sama boleh mencedok makanan dan masukkan ke dalam mulut sendiri.."

Wa baca kat website, nak galakan baby tu suka makan kita kena bagi dia pegang sudu and makanan dia.biar dia belajar makan sendiri.suap sendiri etc.tapi..kalau dah mcm gini rupanya..adehhhh! Dah la faeq, ini first and last la awak makan sendiri.tunggu besar sikit, biar dah betul2 pandai baru mama bagi ok.hahaha main nombor satu! Hihi  #faeqyusuff

random thought

"kau yang bertudung tu pun belum tentu masuk syurga..."

wa tak suka bila terbaca statement macam ni.menyakitkan hati.why la perlu kaitkan isu pakai tudung semua tu.kalau pun tak suka kena tegur, you just diam je la.tak payah nak cakap benda2 macam tu.

at least dia cuba la juga tutup aurat, walaupun mulut macam puaka.

lu? *BAM!! ON YOUR FACE!*

chill la kan? tak payah sikit2 nak masuk kan isu kau pakai tudung , kau tak pakai tudung.

ini lah sebab nya wa tak suka baca komen2 kat website gossip2, nanti wa sendiri yang panas.hahahahaha :p

wa tak sangka wa akan sayang seseorang tu sampai macam ni sekali.in my case, faeq la kan..sayang gilaaaa la.nama pun anak.hehe setiap hari wa belajar benda baru. kadang-kadang macam tak percaya pulak wa boleh besarkan seorang budak dalam rumah ni. dia tidur, dia jaga, dia makan, dia menyusu, dia poopoo...everything is soooo important to me.alhamdulillah, thank you Allah sebab kurniakan faeq dalam kehidupan wa dan apitt.

tak sabar nak tunggu dia besar, boleh bercakap, boleh ajak lawan borak..haha so cute! alaahhh Kerr, tak abis2 nak puji anak sendiri :p

dah tu nak puji sapa lagi kan? anak pun sorang je.kalau ada 8 wa pun tak larat nak puji setiap sorang hahaha
