Breastfeeding and me


the plan to bf my son is waaay before i get pregnant,and its god willing,now he refused.and maybe im not keen and tough enough to handle him when he's crying like mad,im not strong enough to try to feed him with my breast every hour when he always refused.but alhamdulillah, thanks to HIM cause my milk is sufficient enough for my baby (and increasing by demand) i dont mind to express my milk every 3 hours and its really worth.thanks to Farah,because of her i started to pump after midnight,when im asleep.i'll make sure there is at least one time feeding stock for him before i doze off.so when he's awake for milk i'll pump again for his next feeding.compared to before,i only gave my ebm in daytime,after midnight-formula milk.so because of farah,i have been giving EBM exclusively for about 1 month and a half.alhamdulillah,praying that i could continue at least until he is 6 months.
just to mention-i kept trying once a while to direct breastfeed him,but he is still the same.

the story-3 days in the hospital,the milk didn't flow out from my breast.tried to pump,still milk didn't flow.he(my son) didnt know how to suck and because i have an inverted nipple,more difficult to him,the nurses,my mom,my husband did help,but he just cant connect to it and started to cry.my breast engorged untill i hv a mild fever,then my husband call an indo massaage lady in 4th day.everything went so well,but not my baby huhuhu,i never fed him with bottle,i just follow the hospital nursery,fed him with syringe and tried to bf him.i tried to pump before bf him,even my husband did help..he cried so loud and my mum cant stand to see his grandson crying out loud for 5 days,insisted me to use bottle,but we still with our decision,no teats for him (afraid of nipple confusion).
im so depressed,so in day 6 i fed him with bottle..so there he goes..
i know its not too late to try,i'll try my best and praying that my son will change( hehe,mcm die dh besar dan pandai berfikir je kan ahaha)
