Successful Chinese Breastfeeding Mothers ~Stocked 200oz EBM

Happy New Year everybody! I am so blessed to have experienced an awesome 2012! Alhamdulillah, great achievement for us. Date 18.05.2012 marked a history with many beautiful memories especially struggling to breastfeed my Down Syndrome and Cleft Palate son after he was born. Now Rayhan is 7 months old and he is still 100% breastfeed. 

I remembered a Malay friend of mine once told me : "Hey Husna, I tengok tak ramai Chinese mothers yang suka breastfeed anak kan" I was very naive in breastfeeding those days and i agreed with her. But now looking at my own success and many other Chinese mothers who successfully breastfeed their babies exclusively for the first 6months, I proudly say to my Malay friends "Sekarang sudah ramai Chinese mothers pandai breastfeed baby dan boleh simpan stok EBM". 

Now a days many new Chinese mothers are more aware of health benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and babies. Take a look at this great testimonial which i've read from Shaklee's Today Magazine Vol5 /2012. 

Testimonial sharing from Tai Mei Git :

Before Consuming Shaklee Product

I am an Insurance clerk. When I had my first son, I did not take any Shakle products. My elder son was mostly formula fed and only at times that I breastfeed him. I often felt very tired after my delivery. I came to know about Shaklee through my upline, Master Wong Sook Pin. She recommended Shaklee products to me and shared on how to consume these products. I was very conscious about my health and wanted to improve my condition after my first delivery. Last year, when I planned my second child, I consulted Master Wong Sook Pin on what products to consume during pregnancy and after delivery. I took Shaklee products religiously every day. 

After Consuming Shaklee Products

My second child is now 10 months old. He is fully breastfeed and is very healthy compared to other child of his age. I have about 200 bottles of breast milk stocked up i the freezer and i am able to pump about 5 bottles (average 5oz. each) of bresast milk daily. During my confinement, I was able to express about 11oz. Moreover, I recovered fast from my delivery and feel more energetic. Even my friends in the confinement center are amazed with my health condition especially after deliver. I want to take this opportunity to gratify my appreciation to Master Wong Sook Pin and thanks to Shaklee for giving us such premium products. 

  

Moreover, 95% of my customers are Chinese!! And most of them are working mothers and successful breastfeeding their babies too. Salute soldier babe!

Here is another successful testimonial from mommy May Loh who has been taking breastfeeding SET 3M. 

This clearly prove that we, Chinese mommies are aware of the benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and our babies (bunyi macam debat pulak! hehe). Hopefully we can educate more Chinese new mommies out there! Ciayu! Ciayu!

A Letter To Our Down Syndrome & Cleft Palate Son

I

Dearest Rayhan,

Another 5 days to end year 2012. I'm looking at you sleeping beside me telling myself how time really does fly! Although you are only 7 months old and I already having such a great time with you. Your brother, Rayyan are so super adore you now. He hardly sleeps without touching your cute little face. We hope both of you will get along and stay closed to each other through thick and thin. 

Now you are 7 months old but you still not able to take any solid food yet. It's OK darling. Time will come. Mummy will breastfeed you and keep you full all the time. It's OK that you still can't reach out toys or crawl like any other normal baby at this age. Time will come my dear.. just a little hard work.

I  shed tears in joy every time I watching you putting extra hard work just to reach out your hands.. I shed tears with smile when I see you struggling hard to move your arms and legs to the front just to get a single move. I shed tears in joy seeing you laying on the rubber ball and sitting on the bamboo chair for just 30 minits of Therapy with patience. Thank you dear Rayhan.. You are already making us SUPER PROUD of you now! 

Nevertheless, this year you did achieved success. You managed to drink 5oz just in 15minute compared to 2oz in 1 hour when you were born. You successfully roll over when you are only 4 months old and you also can sit with support at 6months old. Such a huge accomplishment! Alhamdulillah! Praises to All-Mighty!

Every day at 5am, I was awake by you with a big smile and putting you back on the crib after feeding and you will fall a sleep on your own without any fuss. You are such a good child! It’s seriously amazing for having you with us this year and hopefully many years to come. 

As you've grown older, your smile and laughter has lighten up our hearts. We just can't get enough of your smile! They way you look at me with your lovely almond eyes, cute reddish long protruding tongue! So cute! Subhanallah.. It feel like having a chocolate melting in your mouth.. so sweet, soft and calm and peaceful.. (so much of imagination huh?!) We LOVE watching every minute of you. 

My dear Rayhan, I still remember how scared we were when we found out you were born with Down Syndrome and Cleft Palate. We fear that you may have serious illness and will not be like any other normal babies. Alhamdulillah, none of those fears came true. Now we know that you are just like a other cute and angelic normal child. Even better with Extra Cells! 

Rayhan, sometimes or maybe most of the time I will be thinking if I have given you enough love as much as you've given us? We are working hard to get the best toy, best therapy and better home for you. Every single cents we earn is just for you and your brother. We hope you have a wonderful and beautiful moment with us too. 

Rayhan, watching you remind us the great Creation of God. You are such an beautiful, uniqe and so full of joy that make everyone besides you smile. We love you dearly baby.

You make us so Super Proud of you. And thank you for coming to our life. May we have a wonderful moment every second. May everyday be better than yesterday. No words can describe our love to you. Just wanna let you know that "You are so PERFECT!" 

WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH! 

**Pleas help us to click LIKE & SHARE to other parents that Down Syndrome is OK and it is NOT an Illness. 

**Please help us click LIKE & SHARE to other parents-to-be that Do Not Abort Down Syndrome Baby.. They are 'ticket' to heaven for us.. 

Thank You.

Tambah 15kg Semasa Mengandung? Tips Makanan Seimbang Untuk Ibu Mengandung

Teringat masa i pregnant with my son dulu i gained about 15kg! Luckily managed to lose back 10kg after delivery. Actually, i tak kisah naik 15kg.. janji baby i sihat,kan? Tapi ini bukan bagi kita greenlight untuk makan whatever food we like.. nanti tinggi pula cholestrol and sugar masa pregnant. Yang penting, kita kena makan healthy food and supplements. 

Sebut pasal berat masa pregnant..pernahkah anda terfikir mengapa berat badan anda bertambah 10-15 kg (secara purata) semasa anda mengandung sedangkan berat bayi yang baru lahir hanya ¼ daripada itu? Walau pun ianya berbeza bagi setiap individu wanita yang mengandung, faktor-faktor di bawah menyumbang kepada pertambahan berat badan:
• Berat bayi : 2.5 - 3 kg
• Penyimpanan protein, lemak dan nutrien lain yang berlebihan : 2.75 - 3 kg
• Penambahan darah : 1.5 – 2 kg
• Penambahan cecair badan yang lain : 1.5 - 2kg
• Pembesaran payudara : 0.75 – 1 kg
• Pembesaran uterus (rahim) : 0.75 – 1 kg
• Cecair amniotik (air ketuban) : 0.75 – 1 kg
• Plasenta (uri) : 0.5 – 0.75 kg

Selain daripada penambahan berat bayi, faktor-faktor lain juga penting untuk memastikan fisiologi ibu berubah mengikut keperluan ibu mengandung. Corak penambahan berat semasa mengandung bagi individu juga berbeza. 

Jika anda mula mengandung semasa berat badan berlebihan, berat anda mungkin akan turun sedikit pada awal trimester manakala penambahan akan berlaku bagi ibu yang kurus atau mengandung anak kembar.

Paling penting adalah untuk anda makan dengan sederhana dan seimbang supaya anda dan bayi yang dikandung berada dalam keadaan sihat. 

Info berikut mungkin membantu anda dalam mendapatkan khasiat secukupnya sewaktu hamil:

• Protein - Pastikan tiga makanan utama diambil mengandungi protein tinggi seperti kekacang, daging, telur keju yang berfungsi membina tisu dan otot bayi

• Kalsium - Banyakkan pengambilan susu, ikan dalam tin, kacang soya, tauhu dan produk tenusu yang penting untuk menguatkan tulang dan gigi bayi

• Zat besi - Banyakkan pengambilan daging merah bagi melancarkan perjalanan darah bayi dan ibu di samping vitamin C. Misalnya tiram, buah kering, kacang soya, bijirin, roti gandum dan kekacang

• Asid folik - Ia sangat penting dalam kehamilan. Ia membantu mengatur pembentukan sel saraf 'embryonic' dan 'fetal' yang penting untuk tumbesaran normal. Banyakkan pengambilan makanan mengandungi asid folik seperti barli, daging lembu, beras perang, keju, ayam, buah kurma, sayuran berdaun hijau, daging kambing, hati, susu, cendawan, oren, ikan salmon, tuna, gandum dan bijirin

• Serat - Banyakkan mengambil makanan serat tinggi kerana ia berperanan menghalang penyerapan zat gizi lain seperti lemak, karbohidrat dan protein. Makanan seperti buah-buahan, roti gandum, bijirin dan bertih jagung

• Air - Amalkan meminum air masak 2-3L sehari. Tubuh ibu mengandung juga memerlukan cecair seperti susu, jus dan sup

Masa i mengandung 8 bulan with Rayhan, i dah start ambil Energizing Soy Protein untuk persediaan susu badan selepas bersalin. Dulu pernah dengar orang tua-tua kata kalau nak baby putih, mommy kena minum soya masa pregnant. And i did take soya (ESP). Rayhan is much fairer that his eldest brother even fairer than his Mommy!!  

Taking ESP during my last trimester help to improved my stamina and make my skin clearer. I used to suffer from acne at my both cheecks and forehead (preggy hormone!!) but after taking ESP... the acne has cleared off!  Best sangat!!

Penangan ESP - Baju Basah Lecun & Susu Melimpah Keluar Semasa Mengepam Susu

Dah 2 hari i tak update blog ni.. rasa tak senang duduk kalau tak update blog. Since both heros tengah menikmati afternoon nap, baik i kongsi another GOOD NEWS yang i baru terima.

Hari ni i nak share satu lagi testimonial kejayaan kawan baik i, Puan Azfa dalam breastfeeding exclusively for the FIRST TIME after failing to breastfeed her eldest two daughters. Alhamdulillah.. i pun tumpang happy tengok mommy Afza yang bersemangat untuk menyusu anak sepenuhnya. 

Jom baca testimonial beliau.. 

** Gambar profile beliau telah diBLURkan atas permintaan beliau ya

Hanya 3 hari sahaja selepas minum Energizing Soy Protein ni  susu beliau sudah ada peningkatan! 

After a few days later, i PM tanya khabar supply beliau. This is her impressive comment : basah lencun baju kalau lambat pam! Botol susu pun dah habis stok!.. (Maybe i should sell milk storage too?hehe)

Esok hari i PM Pn. Azfa lagi.. kali ni hasil tuaian lagi HEBAT..dalam tak sedar susu melimpah keluar semasa mengepam! Disebabkan kehebatan ESP ini..beliau terus order produk Shaklee Lecitihin untuk menguruskan badan semasa menyusu tanpa menjejaskan supply susu. InsyaAllah..

Seronokan bila baca testimonial orang lain yang berjaya. Semoga perkongsiaan ini dapat memberi semangat kepada mommies yang lain. Ingat! Kejayaan tidak datang bergolek itu saja.. Kena usaha mengepam setiap 2-3 jam, minum 3-4 Liter air sehari dan mengambil supplement Shaklee dengan betul. On top of all.. mommy kenalah jaga mood jangan asyik stress je.. kenalah banyak sabar, sebab supplement ni bukan magic ya. Just be positif dan keep on Direct Latch atau pump ok! InsyaAllah.

Okay, time for me to sign off.. happy breastfeeding ya!

Petua-Petua Menambah Susu Badan

Salam mommies..how's your weekend? I had an enjoyable moment last saturday and sunday! Sebab i dapat enjoy belanja makan my hubby and buy new toys for my sons with my own home bisness BONUS! Best! Best! 

Anyway, today i nak share sikit pasal petua dan cara untuk menambah susu badan ibu. Setiap hari mesti ada ibu PM tanya pasal tips untuk tambah susu badan. Ramai young mothers asyik merungut “Saya tiada susu”, “Susu badan kering”, “Susu sikit la so kena tambah susu formula”.  
I sangat syorkan agar bakal ibu atau first time mommies untuk menambah ilmu penyusuan susu ibu supaya lebih berkeyakinan dalam menangani cabaran psikologi atau persepsi negatif dari orang sekeliling atau si ibu sendiri.

Terdapat pelbagai petua dan cara menambah susu ibu yang boleh diamalkan.  

 Pemakanan penggalak susu (milk booster):

Terdapat pelbagai makanan/tumbuhan yang dikelaskan sebagai penggalak susu/milk booster.  Antaranya ialah:

Lobak putih

- Sesuai dimasak sup bersama daun kucai dan ikan bilis.  Boleh juga dikikis dan direndam di dalam air suam sebelum diminum begitu sahaja.

Buah longan kering

- Rebus longan kering bersama kurma kering, kismis atau barli.  Lebih sedap jika dimasukkan sedikit gula merah.

Kurma

- Makanan sunnah yang kaya dengan pelbagai khasiat, di antaranya adalah protein, serat, glukosa, vitamin A, vitamin C, sodium dan potassium.  Ia juga kaya dengan zat besi dan membekalkan kalori segera yang diperlukan terutamanya buat ibu hamil dan menyusu. 

Pucuk betik/Betik muda

- Pucuk betik atau betik muda boleh dimakan mentah dan dimakan bersama nasi sebagai ulam-ulaman.

Halba/Fenugreek

- Rendam sedikit halba dengan air suam dan minum airnya.  Boleh juga diletakkan di dalam masakan seperti sup, kari atau nasi.

Habbatus sauda/Jintan hitam/Black seed

- Salah satu makanan sunnah yang diamalkan Rasulullah.  Amat berkhasiat sehinggakan Rasulullah pernah bersabda bahawa ia berupaya mengubati pelbagai penyakit kecuali maut.  Boleh didapati dalam bentuk kapsul.

Moringa/murunggai/pokok kelor

- Pokok murunggai terkenal di kalangan masyarakat India dan dikenali sebagai pokok kelor dalam masyarakat Melayu kita.  Selain menambah susu ibu ia juga sesuai dimakan ketika sakit tekak ataupun selesema. Boleh didapati dalam bentuk kapsul dan uncang teh.

Jantung pisang

- Boleh di celur dan dimakan seperti ulam-ulaman atau dimasak gulai lemak.

Daun cekur manis/pucuk manis

- Sedap dimasak gulai lemak sepertimana ulam jantung pisang.

Kacang soya

- Makanan berasaskan kacang soya seperti air soya, tempe atau tauhu diketahui umum berupaya menambah pengeluaran susu ibu. Walaubagaimanapun, pengambilan susu soya buatan sendiri adalah tidak digalakkan kerana kemungkinan besar anda akan terdedah kepada kesan negatif kacang soya yang tidak diingini.

Pengambilan Air

- Ibu menyusu mestilah kerap meminum air masak supaya tidak mengalami dehidrasi atau kekurangan air dalam badan.  Dehidrasi boleh membuatkan susu ibu menjadi kurang.  Oleh itu, ibu menyusu haruslah meminum air masak (plain water) sekurang-kurangnya 3-4 liter sehari.

Pemakanan seimbang

- Pemakanan ibu menyusu haruslah seimbang seperti mana yang disarankan dalam piramid kesihatan.  Lebihkan sayur-sayuran hijau dan buah-buahan dalam diet seharian.  Selain matlamat menyusukan bayi, para ibu haruslah menjaga kesihatan diri.

Psikologi

Susu saya cukup untuk bayi saya!

Dari sudut psikologi pula, digalakkan para ibu berfikiran positif dengan beranggapan bahawa susu ibu yang dihasilkan adalah mencukupi untuk bayi. Elakkan dari stress atau tekanan kerana ia akan mempengaruhi pengeluaran susu ibu.  Sentiasa tetapkan dalam minda yang mengatakan bahawa susu saya cukup untuk bayi saya.  Insha-Allah, ibu akan berasa lebih tenang dan tidak tertekan, seterusnya dapat meningkatkan pengeluaran susu ibu.

Kekerapan mengepam

- Pengeluaran susu ibu adalah berdasarkan kepada konsep supply and demand.  Apabila anda semakin kerap menyusukan atau mengepam susu, otak mendapat signal untuk menghasilkan lebih banyak susu untuk bayi anda.   Mengepamlah dengan konsisten tanpa menunggu payudara bengkak/breast penuh.  Lebih kerap payudara dikosongkan, lebih banyak susu ibu yang akan terhasil.  Sebaik-baiknya mengepamlah setiap 2-3 jam sekali terutamanya semasa bayi tiada bersama anda. MORE DEMAND MORE SUPPLY! Kalau malas pump, susu pun malu-malu nak keluar. 

Doa

- Amalkan zikir-zikir untuk menambah susu seperti Ya Maatin, selawat dan sebagainya.  Sentiasalah berdoa supaya anda berjaya menyusukan anak anda sehingga berumur dua tahun terutamanya  setiap kali selepas solat.

Okay.. setakat di sini saja coretan hari ini.. Kalau nak susu banyak, kenalah usaha lebih, kena rajin dan konsisten dalam semua amalan ini. 

Happy Breastfeeding!
