2015.... I'm 28

My birthday is in June, the 21st. Same with Prince William, I was born in the city of London during the longest day of the year, on Father's day 1987.

While doing spring cleaning at my dad's 'library', I found this..

An engineering books that belong to his university library that he must have forgot to return before 15th of June 1987 because his wife, which is my mom is heavily pregnant with me and is due anytime soon. On the 21st June 1987 must be his happiest Father's day as he officially become a father. During Father's Day!! **perasan me**

And now it is 2015, my birthday falls on father's day again and also the month of Ramadhan. I just wish my dad, and never met him yet since. The day itself, I decided to cook nasi lemak with sambal udang petai **which is my expertise, can I say my signature dish? Phui.. ** and also ayam berempah that was being marinated a day before.

Since my doc sis brought us bucket of KFC for buka puasa and a cake as well for my birthday, I just keep the marinated ayam berempah in the fridge and substitute the original menu with ayam KFC instead. Both were delicious actually. **Perasan again**

By now, there's nothing that I want but the health of my parents. My dad is sick right now, I still haven't got a chance to go back and meet him and see his condition with my own eyes. He whatsap us that he hopes that he could make it until Eid, how come....!!! I want him to be healthy forever. I would be more that willing to replace all the pain that he have to bear right now if Allah permits.

Ya Allah, please protect my family from all evil in this world, please grant my parents the healthiest heath. Please......................................................................... protect us all. Please..... protect my husband, my daughter, my son..... please ease the burden that my dad have to bear. Please Allah.. please...Please prolong the live of each and everyone that I love. Please Allah............ kasihanilah kami semua.................................**sad**

And finally... I got my boba wrap

Actually, I know about Boba Wrap after watching Malaysia Hari Ini (MHI) during my early confinement days **see I got a lot of time during pantang :) ** . Topic was essentials for travelling with babies.

Immediatel Boba wrap caught my attention, besides that foldable stroller that they shows but not revealling the brand (if I know for sure I'm gonna get it) That particular stroller is even more and more compact than Babyzen Yoyo and I heard the price only RM400++ but really.. I wish I know what brand is that.

I got mine in Navy Blue and try it already and it is sooooooooooooooo worth it. Got it from Onebabyworld Cheras at RM160++ after discounts. My baby loves it, I got both hands free while we went outing and also he felt asleep everytime I put him in this wrap. Hehe.. made my life easier.

Learn how to wrap around on youtube ** there's a lot of tutorial** buat actually the basic is just the same. I love my boba wrap and well... will recommend it for all mothers out there. Remember I got free baby carrier when I purchase my swing maxi the other day? Well.. I'm not using it yet because I find it really uncomfortable for newborn. Despite my baby weight now is 6kgs **not even 2 months yet -_- **

Anyway, this type of baby wrap can hold babies up to 15kgs. There's a lot of brands out there for this kind of carrier eg Moby wrap and apa2 wrap lagi lah. Basically the way they tied is almost the same and function also the same.

Being a mother of 2.. a toddler and a baby, I'm so not gonna bring two strollers while going out, of course. And tandem strollers requires a lot of space.. this is really my need. Different mothers have different needs, so I gotta do what I gotta do. I gotta get what I gotta get. Haha.. Loove this, bye!!

Breastfeeding dan puasa

Salam Ramadhan.. Semoga ibadah diterima dan diberkati.

Oh God, now I realise selama berpantang ni all the way cerita pasal mak2 je. So sorry but I'm just expressing what I want in my own space. **bla bla bla

Now that this is a holy month of Ramadhan, one of my husband's concern is that could I possibly fasting while at the same time still continue to breastfeed? He urge me not to fast at first, saying he will pay for fidyah whatsoever... but being me, I never skip fasting since I'm 7 years old unless during period time after puberty. Therefore, I never thought of not fasting eventhough I need to feed my little one with breastmilk.

And today is the 15th day of Ramadhan, I'm still fasting without fail and still breastfeeding my baby exclusively, alhamdulillah. I did ask a friend of mine whether the amount of milk dropped when she breastfeed while fasting, in her case, yes, a little bit. But I really don't want to think or stress myself about it.

I don't know if the milk supply dropped or not, I just continue breastfeed as usual and pumping while I can. Yes, now I seldom feel like my breast is full or had any let down during the day but still when pumping there's actually quite a lot to be stock up for lil one.

One  pumping session during the day of Ramadhan, alhamdulillah

So to conclude this entry, for me brestfeeding while fasting did not have significant impact on the milk supply **at least for me** provided that mom drinks a lot of water during buka puasa and sahur. I force myself to drink a lot as I do not want to be or feel dehydrated during the day. At the same time still continue drinking air akar herbanika Nona Roguy and fenugreek tablet supplement to maintain my milk supply **or at least made my brain believe that both can increase my milk supply, eventhough if it is not pun... at least psychologically I believe I can do it**

I don't want to stressed myself when they are mothers who can pump up to 20oz per session OMFG!! Wow that's amazing. But for me, I just be grateful for what I have. And to all breastfeeding mothers out there, all the best! Happy fasting! Bye
