ASI untuk milana

Alhamdulillah asi buat milana produksinya lebih banyak dari waktu maalik dan gue udah mulai stok asi dari milana baru lahir jadi stok asi pun lebih banyak dari waktu maalik juga yg gue baru mulai stoknya pas maalik umur sebulanan. Telat bgt. 

Alhamdulillah milana pun mulai dari lahir tidurnya ngga bangun2 sering jadi gue masih bisa mendapatkan my beauty sleep....💗 tanda2 anak sholehah, aamiin. Bedanya sama anak cowo mungkin yah kalo milana nenennya sebentar tapi sering, waktu maalik nenennya lama & sering. Enak banget deh gue punya bayi milana ini sering banget gue "me time sama path :p". Jadi kalo ditanya mau punya anak lagi atau ngga, gue akan jawab mau tapi bayi cewek yah ;) hehehe

Alhamdulillah alat pumping asi-nya baru karena liat mia pake medela swing kok kayanya mantep bgt jadi gue ikutan beli disamping si mini elektrik gue yg ada 2 bijik tarikannya udah letoy, bawa ke tempat servicenya males kan di kelapa gading jadi yaudah beli baru :) review gue buat medela swing, tarikannya ok, ngga berisik, dan bisa ada tahapan memijat nenen kita jadi kalo gue pumping biasanya gue sambil maenan henfon kan yah :p akan ada 2x sesi asi gue keluar dgn derasnya, minimal gue bantu pijat2 juga sih nah akan semakin deras deh tuh asinya...diemin aja tanpa pijatanpun asi gue akan ttp keluar banyak. 

Oiya gue belinya di Fany Baby, ITC kuningan langganan gue yg baru krn baby&co udah mahal deh (gue udh banding harga) dan pelayanannya ok banget. Inget waktu gue mau beli (lagi) sterilizer panasonic yg gede bgt tuh disitu ada dan harganya 650rb padahal dimana2 harganya udah 700-750rb, lumayan bgt kan. Gue inden wkt itu dan pas barangnya ada gue di sms sama mbak2nya :)

Cooler bag milana yg gue bawa ke kantor merknya gabag. Murmer yah bok & ukurannya pas bgt. Bagian atasnya buat bawa medela swing & bagian bawahnya buat botol2 kaca, ice gel & corongnya. Ngga ribet bawa 2 tas kaya waktu maalik, 1 cooler bag medela yg wrn hitam kotak kecil, 1 lagi tas buat mesinnya. Repot. Gabag ini motifnya pun lucu2, punya gue motif zebra polkadot pink.

Sayangnya dikantor gue ini karena gue bukan dikantor pusat tapi hanya "rasa" aja kantor pusat disini ngga ada nursing room jadi pojokan ruangan tempat sholat dibikin sedemikan rupa ada pojokan nyaman buat gue pumping 2x sehari disitu, ditutupin meja&lemari tinggi gue bisa "me time sama lets get rich" :) dan Alhamdulillah kantor gue ada kulkas juga buat naro asip.

Gue mau kasitau juga salep ampuh buat busui yg dibulan2 pertama kan pasti putingnya berdarah2 yaaa -___- awww bgt deh gue kalo inget puting gue berdarah lukanya kaya sayatan gitu & bisa dalem gitu robeknya. Glek! Gue bisa nenenin sambil pegangan kenceng saking sakitnya masya Allah. Nah salep yg udah gue coba mulai dari 

purelan dari medela, ngga terlalu ampuh buat gue karena lama sembuhnya, harganya lumayan 100ribuan.

Apolar, mendingan ini lebih ampuh dr purelan tapi masih takes time buat sembuhnya.

Juaranya adalah IFLACORT 1-2hari diolesin setiap abis mandi dan lukanya hilang, ngga perih lagi. Olesin salepnya abis mandi supaya ngga kena ke bra kita gue pake breastpad jadi kan salepnya nempelnya d breastpad dan setiap mau nenenin gue bersihin pake waslap dikasih air hangat. Manjur. Harganya ngga sampe 100rb seinget gue.

Maalik Sarjana ASI

Hiiiih...ngga percaya yah maalik sebentar lagi 6 bulan & semua yg dia minum itu ASI gue :')) 

Terimakasih ya ALLAH sdh mengijinkan untuk menyusui maalik dengan lancar. Mendekati bulan ke-6 justru ASI gue agak berkurang dan gue mulai panikkkkkk tapi beruntungnya gue itu selalu dikelilingi temen2 yg support & pintar2 jadi begitu gue curhat ttg ASI gue yg mulai kurang, @indah_ibaz nyuruh gue mulai minum ASIFIT (suplemen supaya ASI banyak) & VEGEBLEND.

Is your baby getting enough milk?

Breast-feeding: Is your baby getting enough milk?

If you're breast-feeding, you may wonder whether your baby is getting enough milk. Ask yourself these questions — and know when to seek help.

By Mayo Clinic staff
 
When you're breast-feeding, you can't measure the amount of milk your baby takes at each feeding — but that's OK. You can watch for reassuring signs that your baby is getting enough to eat.

Cover the basics

When you're breast-feeding, ask yourself these questions:

• Is my baby gaining weight? Steady weight gain is often the most reliable sign that a baby is getting enough to eat. Although most babies lose weight soon after birth, it's typically regained — and then some — within 10 days to two weeks. Your baby will be weighed at each checkup. If you're concerned about your baby's weight, you may want to schedule more frequent weigh-ins.
• How often does my baby breast-feed? Most newborns breast-feed eight to 12 times a day — about every two to three hours. By six to eight weeks after birth, your baby will probably begin to go longer between feedings. During growth spurts, your baby may take more at each feeding or want to breast-feed more often. Trust your body's ability to keep up with the increased demand. The more often your baby nurses, the more milk your breasts produce.
• Can I hear my baby swallowing? If you listen carefully, you'll be able to hear your baby swallowing. Also look for a strong, steady, rhythmic motion in your baby's lower jaw. A small amount of milk may even dribble out of your baby's mouth.
• How do my breasts feel? When your baby is latched on successfully, you'll feel a gentle pulling sensation on your breast — rather than a pinching or biting sensation on your nipple. Your breasts may feel firm or full before the feeding, and softer or emptier afterward. If breast-feeding hurts, ask your baby's doctor or a lactation consultant for help.
• What about my baby's diapers? By the fourth day after birth, expect your baby to have six to eight wet diapers a day. Also expect regular bowel movements — often three or more a day. The stool will be dark and sticky for the first couple of days, eventually becoming seedy, loose and golden yellow.
• Does my baby seem healthy? A baby who seems satisfied after feedings and is alert and active at other times is likely getting enough milk. Also look for a healthy skin tone. 

Trust your instincts

You know your baby best. If you sense something isn't right, contact your baby's doctor — especially if your baby:

• Isn't gaining weight
• Isn't wetting six to eight diapers a day or having regular bowel movements
• Is consistently fussy after feedings
• Seems sleepy all the time
• Isn't interested in breast-feeding
• Spits up forcefully or more than a small amount at a time

Remember, every baby is unique. You may be surprised by your baby's feeding patterns. As long as your baby grows and develops normally, however, you can be sure that you're meeting his or her nutritional needs.

7 tips for pumping success

Breast-feeding is a commitment, but your efforts are worthwhile. If you're pumping, follow these simple tips for maintaining your milk supply — from pumping often to drinking plenty of fluids.

By Mayo Clinic staff
 
Breast-feeding is based on supply and demand. The more you breast-feed your baby — or pump while you're away from your baby — the more milk your breasts will produce. Consider these seven tips for pumping success.

1. Relax

Stress can hinder your body's natural ability to release breast milk. Find a quiet place to pump. It may help to massage your breasts or use warm compresses. You may want to think about your baby, look at a picture of your baby or listen to relaxing music.

2. Pump often

The more you pump, the more milk you'll produce — especially if you're using a high-quality pump. If you're working full time, try to pump for 15 minutes every few hours during the workday. If you can, pump both breasts simultaneously. It'll save you precious time and may even increase your body's production of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production.

3. When you're with your baby, breast-feed on demand

The more you breast-feed your baby when you're together, the greater your supply will be when you pump. Try more frequent evening, early morning or weekend feedings. Pumping after a breast-feeding session can help boost milk supply, too — even if you pump but no milk is produced.

4. Avoid or limit formula feedings

Formula feedings will reduce your baby's demand for breast milk, which will lower your milk production. To maintain your milk supply, it's important to pump anytime your baby has a formula feeding. Remember, the more you breast-feed your baby or pump while you're apart, the more milk you'll produce. It also helps to pump extra milk — either after or between breast-feeding sessions — and freeze it for future use.

5. Drink plenty of fluids

Water, juice and milk can help you stay hydrated, which promotes milk production. Limit soda, coffee and other caffeinated drinks, though. Too much caffeine may lead to irritability or interfere with your baby's sleep. If you choose to have an occasional alcoholic drink, avoid breast-feeding for two hours afterward.

6. Don't smoke

Aside from the well-known dangers of smoking, smoking can reduce your milk supply — and the nicotine in your breast milk may change the taste of the milk and interfere with your baby's sleep. If you smoke, ask your doctor for options to help you quit. In the meantime, avoid smoking just before or during a feeding.

7. Take good care of yourself

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Include physical activity in your daily routine. Sleep when the baby sleeps — and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Also consider your birth control options. Birth control pills that contain estrogen may interfere with milk production. While you're breast-feeding, you may want to use condoms or other forms of birth control.
Breast-feeding is a commitment, and your efforts to maintain your milk supply are commendable. If you're having trouble maintaining your milk supply or you're concerned that you're not producing enough milk, ask your doctor or lactation consultant for other suggestions.

ikutan Breastfeeding Basics dari AIMI ASI

Sabtu pagi gue dan endyboy udah siap-siap karena kita berdua mau ikutan kelas Breastfeeding Basics yg diadakan oleh AIMI ASI, lokasinya di sekolah cikal, jam.08.30 seperti biasa mepet2 gitu deh kita sampenya ;p

Begitu parkir mobil dan kita masuk ke dalam sekolah cikal...WOW!!! sekolahannya bagus banget, keliatan kelas-kelas tempat mereka mengajar itu bagus bgt, simple tapi nampak nyaman. Gue & endyboy langsung bercita-cita menyekolahkan baby-M disini, amien.. Semoga ada rejekinya yah :)

Pas registrasi udah banyak peserta lain yg hadir dan pd hari itu ada 2 kelas yg dibuka Breastfeeding Basics (BB) & Breastfeeding Tips for Working Mom (WM), dibagikan goodiebag isinya snack untuk 2 org karena gue mmg daftar untuk 2 org dan lembaran informasi seputar ASI. Sebelumnya gue dikasih 1 lembar kertas yg isinya pertanyaan seputar ASI, harus dijawab dan dikembalikan ke panitia sblm kelas dimulai. Sdh dipastikan gue menjawabnya dgn asal lahhh ;p hehehe.. secara pengetahuan gue ttg ASI itu NOL.

Kelas dimulai jam.09.00 dan dibuka sama mba MIA SUTANTO, ketua AIMI ASI yg ternyata masih muda & cantik, keliatan banget pinternya dari cara dia menerangkan segala sesuatu ttg ASI in details :)

Selama kelas berlangsung gue ngga merasa bosan karena mbak mia menjelaskan materinya itu enak bgt dan ngga bikin ngantuk, semua yg dijelaskan pakai video jadi lebih mudah diinget dan ada role playnya juga pada saat materi tehnik menyusui yg baik & benar pakai boneka, pokonya pelajarannya jd menyenangkan.

Ini dia materi-materi yg dipelajari :
(a) tatalaksana IMD;
(b) mengapa ASI dan resiko pemberian susu formula,
(c) manfaat ASI bagi ibu dan bayi,
(d) perkenalan anatomi payudara,
(e) berbagai posisi menyusui,
(f) pelekatan yang benar, dan
(g) kiat-kiat sukses menyusui.

Semua yg td diajarin di kelas sama mba mia bener2 terserap dgn baik oleh gue & endyboy, dimobil kita membahas lagi semua yg dijelaskan tadi kalo nanti pas kita ke dr.satrio kita mau tanya-tanya seputar :

1. proses IMD sendiri di RS Asri itu bagaimana kalo melahirkan normal ataupun SC
2. kalo mau rawat gabung itu pembayaran untuk kamar bayinya bagaimana krn di RS Asri dikenakan biaya kamar bayi rp.750.000/malam

Yang lucu endyboy itu semangat banget kalo dia yg akan ngawasin suster & dokternya di ruang persalinan nanti supaya IMD gue berhasil sama baby-M :) *tambah sayang deh gue sama endyboy*

Intinya ngga sia-sia bangun pagi gue hari ini gue bener-bener dapet ILMU.
