Coping with BF During Ramadhan

Dear BF mommies… I’m happily sharing with u guys on the knowledge obtained from yesterday’s discussion (SGM). On how to cope with BF during Ramadhan… hope that these tips more or less might help us during Ramadhan….

1) Make sure to eat balance diet food (especially food that contains high protein for milk production purposes)
2) Dates – the best recipe for far… Blend 7 dates with glass of milk (fresh / low fat / high calcium) & drink it every night
3) Make sure to drink lots of water
4) Always eat home food… (not to buy it outside @ Bazar Ramadhan)

Pump:
1) Pump as usual. (Some of the mommies out there might have more milk during Ramadhan)
2) Increase quantity & quality of time for pumping at night.
3) Make sure, we do it constantly. Because, milk is produce based on demand.
a. Ie: in one day @ office, we pump twice / 3 times…. Morning @ 8.30 am, afternoon @ 12.00 pm & evening @ 5.00 pm. Make sure that we follow the same schedule so that the milk production & our brain will be simulated to produce more milk.

Mind setting
1) Be confident that we can and our body will produce more milk during Ramadhan
2) Make sure that people around you always support BF
3) Always pray to Allah – please helps us, gives us enough encourage & strengthen us to exclusively BF our babies for at least 2 years!

K friends…. Just for knowledge sharing. Make sure we give the best for our babies. Love them so much!!! Say no to formula milk….

Me in 16th week pregnancy

Bismillah.... in the name of Allah... i picked up this information from my email... it's all about updates on what had happened in my tummy and my babies inside there... Sleep well my baby....



This week your baby is about five and a half inches long, crown to rump, and weighs about five ounces. And fetal development has reached the stage for you to start feeling those movements some time in the next few weeks — so get ready!
At 18 weeks pregnant, your baby is hitting the height chart at five and a half inches long (remember, that's crown to rump) and weighs about five ounces (the weight of that boneless chicken breast you're making for dinner).

And now for the skill of the week (drum roll please…): The art of the yawn has been mastered by your baby (someone's sleepy!). In fact, you might catch a glimpse of that adorable yawn if you're getting an ultrasound this month. You'll also catch a glimpse of all the fetal movement your baby's doing — twists, rolls, kicks, and punches. And would you believe your baby is finally big enough for you to start feeling those movements now (or anytime in the next few weeks). So get ready!

Something you won't see on the ultrasound, but you'll know is in working order, is your baby's nervous system, which is maturing rapidly at this time. Nerves, now covered with a substance called myelin (which speeds messages from nerve cell to nerve cell), are forming more complex connections. And those in the brain are further specializing into the ones that serve the senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing. Talking about hearing, your baby's is growing more acute, making your little one more conscious of sounds that come from inside your body (which means you could both be listening to each other hiccup — a skill that your baby has by now).

It's my first post here!

Hallu there... it's mommy here... erm, ever since this is my post in this blog, I would like to thanks Allah for the best ever gift that I received recently.... it's my baby !!!! I would like to dedicate this blog to my cute lil babies, for their reading once they grew up on day!

Insya-Allah, i'll try to share my experience with all mommies out there... Hope that, this blog one day will benefit not only me, but others as well....

K, enjoy reading my story!
