~::Diskusi Hati ::~ |

Nak cerita sikit pasal pengalaman nak menyusukan anak. After bersalin tu rasa menyesal yang amat coz tak bagitau kat nurse yang within 1 hour after labour tu nak bagi baby susu. Actually, stimulation from baby within 1 crucial hour tu yang biasanya akan determine penghasilan susu untuk anak di kemudian hari. Dah keluar dari labour room tu, pegi nursery nak tengok baby, depa cakap kata dah bagi susu formula. Kecewa yang amat sangat. Tapi still simpan niat nak exclusively breastfeed (BF) my love baby throughout her infant year (24 mo). Insya ALLAH.

Balik dari hospital, my dear Kak Zah n Kak Abi mai tgk kat umah. They teach me how to get my baby to latch up properly. For 1st time mommies like me, quite difficult plus my baby also asik tido n tak nak minum. Berkeras jugak, kejutkan dia n pujuk dia latched.

Bila dia dah latch pulak, susu tak de kuar pulak. Dah urut n picit sampai saya nangis coz melecet, tapi masih tak kuar. Cuma kuar air sikit2, or what we call colustrum. Saya paksa jugak baby isap yang colustrum tu. Dia nangis coz kena paksa, saya nangis coz sakit, sedih n tensen. All people around me except for Kak Bi n Kak Zah push me to give FM to my baby. I felt so lonely n so depressed. What I know from thousands if not hundreds articles n journals, baby’s tummy can hold for 5 days without drink or eat anything after delivery. I tried to say my view, but as usual, no one listen. On the 2nd day, my love Mak, ask Tok Tam to massage me and draw the milk out.

About 5 ml milk I could express after that, but I still felt guilty to baby coz dah bagi FM 3 kali. Not even my husband give me support to exclusively BF my baby. After sesi mengurut tu, susu kuar jugak la. Tapi tak la banyak macam org2 lain yang saya tgk. Saya sedih sgt. Saya tak tau nak luah pada sapa. Sepanjang masa, dalam hati saya, saya doa pada ALLAH beserta selawat Tafrijiyah, Ya ALLAH, cukupkanlah rezeki untuk anakku.
