dont stress but dont give up!

i pumped for a whole 20 months. i too, have very little milk, just enough for my daughter. she was exclusively breastfed for about 6 months, and then i had to ‘tambah’ 1 bottle of formula per day because tak cukup laaa. i even went outstation (overases) twice for a week each time when she was 2 and 3 months. i brought my pump with me and had to pump EVERYWHERE (in the plane, at airport toilets, etc) and had to wake up to pump every 3 hours even though baby not with me. hard to carry the milk everywhere, keep them frozen and harder to convince airport security to let u handcarry into the plane.

in office also, i was the only breastfeeding mom and had to pump in empty meeting rooms, storerooms, and if i am out of office on assignments, EVERYWHERE, sometimes even in the car. it’s hard, but it’s for ur own baby. sure, everyone’s entitled to their own thinking, but for me, i can vouch for breastmilk’s benefits. my daughter might not be chubby, but i can count with my fingers how many times she has gotten sick since she was a baby. it also helps moms, believe me. i used to fall sick with flu and fever every 2 months too, but since i started breastfeeding, it stopped!

get electric pump, if u can afford it, buy a double one. the investment is sooo worth it in the long run. i myself only use a single electric pump, but managed to pump that long.

to make u guys understand, i am about 168cms tall and only weigh 45kgs. yes, i am small and skinny (and A cup hahaha) but this goes to show, u CAN breastfeed no matter ur size

good luck!

I heard from the speaker of one breastfeeding talk that i attended that young papaya, sotong, soya, oats and red dates help to increase your breastmilk. During my confinement period, i tried papaya soup and i think it really helps. Make sure your baby empty your breasts each feeding, otherwise use a breastpump to empty your breasts, it helps to increase your breastmilk too!

I keep a record of my pumped breastmilk production just to motivate myself to carry on, if it decreases, i know it’s time to boil papaya soup, haha!

As long as you fix a schedule to pump and follow your schedule (discipline!) during office hours, there’s no reason for you to worry about not having enough milk.
