Mummy's Feeling Anxious

I am facing this kind of situation where my baby daughter refuses to drink from feeding bottle when me and husband are around. Again. I also tried some formula milk to top up my ebm, since my ebm stock has depleted. On a normal working day, I bring 3 bottles of ebm to her babysitter's. After 5pm, she usually 'mengempeng' because mummy is around.

This give me anxiety, Will she drink formula milk from her bottle when I am out of town? A friend once said,  Don't worry. Your child will drink the milk when you are not there, and she will understand that mummy has to work.

Easier said than done huh? But I am not convinced. Even when babah tried to feed her, she rejected the mik bottle without hesitation. *sigh* What should I do? I have tried 3 different brands including the renowned goat's milk on the shelves. In fact, we also bought her a new fancy feeding bottle and a sippy cup. The anxiety comes when mummy has to work out of town. And this feeling goes on and off. 

Matlamat

Tahun baru setiap orang mesti ada azam. Aku tak nak letak perkataan 'azam' tu sebab nanti macam azam tinggal azam je. So dalam otak aku set, 'matlamat' yg mesti aku capai. Oh tahun lepas macam2 peristiwa berlaku. Walau bagaimanapun kita mesti bersyukur sebab masih diberi kesempatan untuk bernafas dan menggunakan nikmat yg Allah kurniakan.

So, tahun ni aku sasarkan beberapa perkara yg aku MESTI achieve:

1- Jaga solat

2- Journal publication

3- Siapkan thesis 

4- Pindah rumah baru by June 2015

5- Kurangkan online shopping

6- Nak aktif bersukan

Haha, yg #5 tu aku macam was-was lak boleh ke aku achieve ni??? Yelah, most of the time I shop for Ayra. Baju, kasut, breastpump accessories, toys, macam2 lagi lah. Kadang2 barang2 tu mana nak dapat kat Kluang ni haaa.. Nasib baik Ikea tak de buat online shopping & boleh deliver seluruh malaysia, selamat duit aku!

Of A Working Mummy

I am a working mummy with a baby that is being fully breastfed. It is really challenging when I have to work out of the town. Last week Shafiq had volunteered to accompany me and babysit our baby in the hotel. I was attending a scientific writing course at my head office somewhere in Bangi. I skipped my teatime, free lunch and have to sneak out for pumping sessions. Or my boobies will leak. 

After dinner we had to find some ice cubes to keep the milk and ice packs chilled. As we have to travel back home after 3 days. The mini bar didn't help me to freeze the ice packs. It was really tedious. I prefer weekends or staying at home so that Ayra can directly latch on. Less pumping sessions. 

At the office, I have 2-3 times of pumping sessions just at my convenience. I even told my staffs about my pumping time so that they know that their boss is around. Muahaha. You know some people would have this kind of thought, "Eh mana dia pergi ni? Takde pun kat bilik? Mengular keeee?". Banyaklah mengular! Aku pam susu nak bagi anaklah! 

How you manage your pumping session and how your colleagues react about breastfeeding journey? Most of my colleague support breastfeeding. As for me breastfeeding needs a lot of knowledge, patience, sacrifice. But it is worth the effort. Oh nantilah aku tulis review pasal breastpump yg aku guna.
