Breast Feeding Support Unit and Aqleena's Weight

Pagi tadi pegi kelas kat Breast Feeding Suport Unit, RWH. I was referred to this unit sebab masa nak discharge dari hospital hari tu, saya ada breastfeeding problem. Rasa sakit masa feed Aqleena and it's sored, berdarah lagi! For couple days after discharged from hospital tu, just guna pump aje la..not so bad...

Actually, kelas yang saya attend tadi, bukan la kelas yang macam saya bayangkan. It was a one to one session, whereby a lactation consultant talking to a mum with a baby. Dia bagi tgk video and kita chat pasal teknik2 yang betul, supaya baby dapat suck to the maximum and mum tak rasa sakit. Coming friday ni mungkin kena pegi lagi...sebab tadi Aqleena tido jerrr tadi...so dia tak dapat tunjukkan practical untuk session kedua.

Okeh, masa kat kelas tu tadi, while saya tgk video..midwive amik Aqleena, untuk pegi timbang. We were so surprise sebab Aqleena put on weight more than what we expected. Newborn baby biasanya akan lost 10% from their birth weight and gain back in 2 weeks time. Tapi Aqleena did so well, when she only lost 5% on the day we discharged from hospital, and hari ni berat dia dah 3.2kg. She is exceeding her birth weight not even in 2 weeks. Syabbas betty!
