World Breastfeeding Week Celebration 🎉
Keep going with my little boy❤️👶🏻
Thanks for celebrating with me, my dear boys (my son and my hubby😜)
I always love to share my breastfeeding journey with my client since it is memorable with sweet and bitter. (To be honest, the bitter part is only 5-10% of my breastfeeding journey, and it will be decreased as I am still going through my journey ❤️)
Many people/clients might think that,
My breastfeeding journey must be very smooth as I am a registered midwife, registered nurse and lactation consultant
😁In fact,
I am also a new mother like many of you
When my son just came to me, I had lots of question marks in my mind and even I had went through the moments with self-blamed, lots of worried and lots of judgment
❤️That’s why I would like to share my breastfeeding journey here with all of you
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
At Day 3-4 after baby’s born,
😯I got breast engorgement
-since I underwent cesarean section
-as breech presentation (baby’s head did not turn, buttock still at the low side)
At Day 10,
😯I got ar**la trauma and sore ni**le
-since I used pump inappropriately
-stopped pumping afterwards
-positioning adjust did work
At Day 15,
😯 I had topped up my little one with non-human milk after topped up with my breastmilk
-Since his body weight haven’t reach his birth weight at day 14 (although there were lots of output and he was very active )
*!!! Can you see that I was judging myself for breastfeeding and lack of confidence 🥲🥲🥲!!!*
-Finally I find out that it was all related to overfeed because My little one had reflux
-then I stop all the top-up
-and just kept going with directly nursing
At week 6-8,
🥰My boy suckling very well and active without any need of position adjustments
At 10months old,
😯I got blocked duct
-since my boy slept continuously more than 5 hours during the night
-I recovered after 2-3 days
-thanks for the hardworking from my boy🥰
he is amazing ❤️

Till now
I am breastfeeding my boy 2-3times a day❤️
He is now 25months old
He is very cheerful, happy boy
He enjoy eating by himself from 10months old
He really enjoy different food and also breastfeeding
And his body weight is now almost 13kg
🤱🏻What I feel is that:
❤️Really enjoy the moment with my little ones during breastfeeding
❤️when he was 1 year old, I started describing what had happened during the day and appreciated him for his nice job during the day when breastfeeding
❤️up to now, he loves listening anything I am talking about
❤️ I can see the fabulous interaction between him and how closed the relationship we have
🤱🏻What I want to share with you that:
Dear parents to be and parents,
It seems to be a challenge for being a parent
When baby is growing day by day
Later on
He/ She will then become a toddler
👉🏻a teenage 👉🏻an adult
But we are still new parents
Everyday is a new page
We are going through a learning process
We are growing with our kids
We are learning with and from our kids
❤️❤️Breastfeeding is the same
All we need : practice more with our little one
All we need : Believe ourselves and baby
All we need : Professions (Lactation Consultant) who is positive, supportive and knowledgeable, who can increase your confidence on breastfeeding❤️❤️
This is my breastfeeding journey
How about you?
Love to hear from you🥰
Once again
Happy World Breastfeeding Week🎉🎉
