24 Jul 2010This book was 1st introduced to me by the writer herself, Jennifer during my confinement. I called her for a postnatal home visit — RM150 for 1.5hrs — to help me with my breastfeeding dilemma, and she was an enlightenment. Natey has been fully breastfed ever since! Sadly, I didn’t really pay attention when she [...]

4 Jun 2010It’s a Tie folks! Harmony 4 : 4 Lactaline I know I promised sooner, but it did take me this long to get a hang of my new toy. When you have a baby, experimenting is not really a luxury *bleh* Anyhow here’s the verdict based on my personal experience. So take it with a [...]

Postnatal 07: Nursing Bra, pt 2.
In: Motherhood|My Reviews
17 May 2010True to its namesake I am being Carri(ed)well since Friday My Verdict: 2 words — God Sent! *breath with utter relief* Since wearing my new Carriwell bra last Thursday night, I did not have to deal with the painful ordeal of engorgement caused by blocked ducts. I still experience pain from the fullness, but certainly [...]
Postnatal 06: Nursing Bra, pt 1.
In: Motherhood|My Reviews
13 May 2010How many pairs of nursing bras does a nursing Mommy needs? Well if you are a shopping jinx like myself, you’ll probably have too many to go around BUT none of them fit. At least, not anymore. To date, I have collectively bought 12 pairs of nursing bras from Fabulous Mom: 2 Eunice, 4 Amber [...]
Postnatal 05: Engorgement & Blocked Milk Ducts.
In: It Sucks|Motherhood
9 May 2010In the beginning I was worried that I didn’t produce enough. So now my body is giving me what I wanted by overflowing the *ahem* Twins and at the same time punishing me for doubting its efficiency by blocking the passage way (-__-||) What is Engorgement? Engorgement is due to milk excessively filling the breast [...]

7 May 2010Happy Mother’s Day ♥ From Daddy to Mommy for Baby ♥ Since I no longer draw a paycheck, everything seems to be a gift one way or another. So it’s nice to claim — though self declared — this as my Mother’s Day present from the husband I tried my new toy early this morning [...]

Postnatal 04: Breastmilk Storage Bottles.
In: Motherhood|Postnatal
13 Apr 2010I have been feeding the sink since I started breastfeeding Natey exclusively 3.5 weeks ago. I don’t keep any of my EBM now, whether after feeds or in between feeds. I don’t want to put Natey back on the bottle because that made him greedy and impatient. He bites — with his super hard gums [...]

Breast Pumps, pt 3 – My Verdict.
In: My Reviews
2 Apr 2010I got the Medela Harmony last November during Fabulous Mom’s Relocation Sale for a steal at RM211, normal price is RM269. At that point, getting a pump was for the just-in-case situations. So budget played a big part As advised by the Mommies on MsianBrides, a manual pump was sufficient if I am a SAHM [...]

Postnatal 02: Breastfeeding.
In: Motherhood|Postnatal
1 Apr 2010I have never doubted that I would breastfeed Nathaniel exclusively. It is the most natural and loving thing to do for our baby. So I did not understand why some Mothers choose not to. But now I do… My breastfeeding journey did not begin easy. I suffered from piles during my pregnancy, and during delivery [...]

Breast Pumps, pt 2 – The Purchase.
17 Nov 2009Last Friday I thought we struck Gold when we bought the Medela Harmony at Fabulous Mom’s Relocation Sale. They made an error of the sale price on their website — instead of RM228.65, it was going for RM211.65. So we saved an extra RM17 and that was indeed a steal deal! *squeal* Unfortunately, it was [...]
