Thank you for all the support I've got from you people out there. Sometimes, I guess I'm pushing myself too hard. I can try my best to breastfeed Aliff fully, but it's all up to Allah's Will on whether I'll be able to do it. Then again, this doesn't mean that I'll stop trying.
I'm currently pumping three times in the office. Alhamdulillah, milk supply has increased. Not so much like before but improving. Aliff is still taking formula as I couldn't keep stock, and whatever I've got for a day's pumping is not even enough for next day's consumption.
We've changed to a new formula, and I think he took it well. Just for your info, he's drinking Lact0gen, one of the cheapest formula in town. This is just what Ashraff took when he was Aliff's age, before we changed him to Dugr0.
Of course, like I mentioned, I still want to try my level best to eliminate cow's milk from his system. So, I did quite few things apart from increasing my pumping time:-
1. I start to drink fenugreek (halba) drink.
2. I resume taking my special Soy Drink powder (which I stopped drinking when I got the food poisoning).
3. I drink lots of water (double than what I used too).
4. I consumed lots of green veges (coz my maid said that green leaves can help boost up the supply). I don't quite like eating veges but for the sake of breastfeeding, I'll do what I can..
4. I want to try the longan drink which I got from joining susuibu.com's forum (thanks to Cik Dah for your advise).
And tomorrow and Friday I'll be on leave. I hope I can breastfeed Aliff directly then. Nope, I don't take this leave semata-mata sebab nak increase the supply, but it's more of finishing the chocolate wrapping assignment for my friend's wedding. So, this is like killing two birds with one stone mission...
Ok, got to go. Hubby is waiting...and it's already 8.30 pm...
