Breastfeeding 4 months Journey

Aaira is an easy baby. She latched well right after she was born. But then, I had engorgement during 1-2 weeks after she was born. It was so bad until one day I cried so hard in the middle of the night. I had fever on and off for five days and nipple crack. Couldn’t imagine the pain was that bad. But never gave up to BF her. I took pain killer prescribed by the doctor (well, it was actually medicine for pain after labor. You know what that means) to reduce the pain so I could have some sleep to keep nursing her. 

 I know she was so strong and I was fighting to keep out from distress. It was painful and even painful when the milk drop from 10 oz to 2 oz. She cried craving for milk. So my mom said gave her some FM. I still refused until 25th April, the EBM was finished and I couldn’t restock, I gave her FM. My husband needed to go back for work and we had to stay apart again. So, of course I cried each night before felt asleep. Well, that’s how millitary family had to go through. I was lucky to have my husband during labor and first two weeks confinement. I heard some of them delivered by themselves.

 I had to go to class after 2nd week of confinement. It was devastated to think that my milk dropped drastically. But to think that, hey, it’s okay to give FM. Never a failure to do that!. But Alhamdulillah, my milk production recover up to 5 oz and I only gave her FM for only about a week. Then, until today, I BF her fully. Hopefully I could make it until she is able to eat solid food. Then, I felt so happy that I did it! I know how precious breast milk are. It is a miracle that God gave for babies. 

 And mommies, it’s okay to feel bad and messy especially during confinement. I felt it too!!. But then, I realized that it was never bad to do whatever best for your babies. They’re strong like their mommies. Well, sacrifice is needed during your BF years. Especially when you need to plan the whole journey before you wanted to go out to somewhere. You’ll think this, “What about my baby? Who will take care of her? How will she feed?” Then, all questions will end up with “I’ll bring her along”. Or “Let’s just stay at home and wait until she could eat solid food”. And it goes until months. It may drive you crazy but you’ve got this. Do something you can to get the hell out from all negativities. There’s no ideal parenting like some people babling about but parenting is about giving what you think best for your babies.

Walk to a memory lane MYY-KUL

 Salam alaik. Last year, April 2023 after Eid, we moved to Miri. On August, Aaira and I decided to move back to Gombak.  Now, its been a year and 2 month we've been in long distance relationship. I worked at Wangsa Maju (my previous job) and last May, I decided to quit for good.  I feels so relieved after quitting my job. I do love the teamworks but I lost passionate to do work in retail which is not my bread and butter. Until then, still missing how closed our teammates. After almost 4 months SAHM while doing some small business in resin art and pipe cleaner flowers, I come bace to work at another company in Taman Melawati. The nature business is education specifically in training for adults. I have been working here for two months unfortunately, I feels I lost track. So I tender my resignation, prior to news that my husband will postpone his deployment until April after Eid next year. I can bear how I missed my house there in Miri. Despite, I am currently living at my p...

Chemical pregnancy ovarian cyst

 Salam alaik. Last December adalah tarikh kenangan saya dapat tahu saya ada ovarian cyst. Alhamdulillah, nothing serious. But masa awal2 dapat tahu, I was extremely happy when found out yang UPT test positif. Not long after, less than 5 weeks I supposed, sy turun darah and period. Masa tu first time experience chemical pregnancy and clueless. Sempat juga ke emergency unit untuk confirmkan pregnancy. No IUGS detected. So, jumpa specialist, and she knows my intention to conceive again. Aaira will be six this year. But it's okay. I can see the silver linings as she grows up. I supposed to be much happier of this path. Made by Allah. It's okay for everything that had happened. I'm ready to let things go. And what most, trust Allah! O Allah, forgive my sins. Banyak salah silap dan kelalaianku selama ini. I wanna go home. To be with aaira and ayah.

July 29, 2016

Salam Alaikum Alhamdulillah, at 6.07 pm on Friday, July 29 I was married to a man I've met for about 4 years ago. Thank you so much husband for this long waiting until it comes true. You did fulfill your promises and show that all these are true. InshaAllah. No one knows except Allah how I feel from the moment this nikah became valid. Maha suci Allah yang menjadikan pernikahan itu sesuatu yang menakjubkan bila sesuatu yang haram menjadi halal. Menyatukan dua insan dalam ikatan murni bersaksikan nikmat Islam. At that moment, I was crying... there is a lot of undescribed feelings I kept deep down in my heart. I know, marriage comes in package, happiness, blessed and responsibility. I have a lot of things to share here, yet, I decided to keep it safe in my soul until I am no longer able to restore my memory. However, I would like to share certain things that seem interesting to share with you guys. To recall a bit, I've met my husband almost 4 years ago, (8 Zulhijah 143...
