World Breastfeeding Week

This week is World Breastfeeding Week. It is a time to celebrate breastfeeding! As a mom of two, am doing it to both of my children. When it was with Jinc, I got pregnant again when he was only about six months old, so I stopped breastfeed him.

Lily May is fifteen months old, and I am still breastfeeding her.I am so proud that I am still breastfeeding her at this stage. I love how she loves my breasts before bed, and I love it every time she tries to pull my shirt and looking for my breasts!

For all the breastfeeding mums out there, happy breastfeeding! Well done!

Best disposable breastpads ever!

This is a godsend!

I have tried some other brands, and none of the brand is as good as this. Some are not sticking well, some will leak and some give me itchy skin...

With this, it is absolutely brilliant. It is very comfy, and it is leak proof. I highly recommend this to breastfeeding moms. It can be a bit more expensive than other brands, but it is all worth it.

That is why, I am the type of mom that who does not mind paying a bit more for premium products.

You can easily get it online from Amazon...

My breasts...

I have been breastfeeding Lilymay since the minute she was put to me after she was born, and I am still breastfeeding her.

This time round, it is easier as Lilymay seems to know how to do it properly, she latches on very well, therefore, a smooth breastfeeding journey. I did not even need a breastfeeding support worker to help me. I had one, she was Becky and she assisted me when I was breastfeeding Jinc last year. Lilymay is three months and one week old, and I am grateful that I am doing this. I hope to be able to breastfeed her as long as I could. Lilymay is a very hungry baby, I do give her some top up of formula, she seems happy, and I am happy too!

I love the closeness of breastfeeding Lilymay, I love every bit of breastfeeding my baby! I am so glad I get to do it. I love my breasts too. I know it will sag as time goes by, it is ok for me. It has done a very good job for me as a mother!

Breast is best!

I started breast feeding straight after I delivered Jinc. He was put to my tummy right after the birth and we had a short cuddle and skin-to-skin moment. It was so amazing, and the first time that I saw his face I just could not believe myself! I have got a baby boy now. I remember, he then found my breast and wanted to suck on it immediately. That was such a special moment and the very first time that I ever felt so motherly when my baby was sucking on my nipple. I was feeding my baby, it was so natural. All I got was colostrum and my baby was getting all the goodness!


I am very determine that I want to breastfeed him as long as I can. Now, at his 10th day and the feeding is not going very well. Even though I have established breast feeding and the milk comes in on the third day after delivery. The latching on is still a problem, and tomorrow I will have to see the breastfeeding advisor. Sigh. I feel very devastated when he could not latch on properly.

I am getting worried, I am not sure whether he is getting enough. He does not seem to grow... Sigh..

Got milk?

I am trying to breastfeed bay Jinc as much as I could.
Unfortunately, he has got problem latching on properly, resulted a cracked nipple on my left breast. It hurts so much and I am tempted to quit breastfeeding! Sigh...

I am still not ready to give up, I guess.

I have booked the breastfeeding support worker to come round my house to teach me the correct position. Meanwhile, I am applying Lansinoh nipple cream to ease my pain. I am also hand-expressing breast milk to the bottle, I have no choice... I feel terribly upset with this. It seems, the more upset I get, the chances of successful breastfeeding is lower. So , I got to be strong and think positive!

3oz of breast milk (pic), and I am producing more...!!

A hungry baby makes an upset mum, so I want to feed my baby Jinc as much as he wants so that he is satisfied and stay happy!

Breastfeeding, should come natural and should not be stressful for new mum like me!

**************

Lansinoh nipple cream is so useful. It helps to heal crack nipples and ease my nipple pain. It is so easy to use, and it is very effective. After a few applications, I could see that my nipple is healing and the best thing about Lansinoh nipple cream is that it need not be washed away whenever I am giving the breast to my baby. It is so convenient. It is a godsend!
