35oz challenge - the result

ok, this post is not anything grand like the title at all.hehe.

success!

i did managed to get the 35oz mark. i even got 38oz. horray!

but the sad thing is, my daughter was not given the EBM while i was away.. she was given at first, then my mom bring her to my sis' house in KL n didnt bring any EBM. she did only manage to finish about 10oz for a day at my MIL's.. :(

oh well, that is such a loonngg time ago, it's practically a history!

My precious EBM

Uh, it's so devastating to hear from my hubby that the electric were out for one whole day yesterday at my MIL's. There was an accident nearby which resulted in a blackout session at the area. And he totally forgotten about my frozen EBM!! as soon as he realised it, he immediately brought it to my mom's house. They (the EBM bags) are now safely tucked in my mom's deep freezer. Pheww....

I am now in Perth, Australia!

I have safely landed on 19th Dec 2011 on Perth Australia! The weather is very sunny but still need a cardigan tho cause the wind is so strong menyucuk2 smpai tulang.brrr!

No sign of miss P

My period is almost 2 weeks late. Should i be worried? Bought a pregnancy test kit just now but waiting for the morning to use it since i heard that thats the most effective time to test. Could it be from the fenugreek pills im taking? It doesnt state to have that side effect on the bottle but logically the pills would stimulates the lactating glands thus making the uterus contract which means the period would be affected? Not sure. Personally, i dont feel a bit like pregnant so im not really worried. Well, we'll see how the test goes tomorrow. And i might ask the seller about this..

35oz Challenge- Reviewed

Managed to collect 2oz of EBM yesterday and got about 2.7oz today. Why lebih today? Sebab mommy cheated and pumped at 3.30pm! that's not lunch break.. Tapi dah bos ajak makan luar and belanja xkan nak tolak rezeki..hehe

So total EBM in stock is now about 9oz. I am reviewing this challenge again and that is because of a few reasons:

• There's only 14 more working days to go
• Zahra don't really drink that much nowadays

so i have decided to just stock up for 4 oz per day for 7 days which is amounting to 28oz.. 

my new initial goal would be 30oz. i think that's a nice enough target, isn't it? 

BTW, i have also ordered Fenugry, fenugreek capsules to increase my milk production. did lotsa research and i've decided that its the best. been using that time mula2 fully breastfeed Zahra tp malas makan and they ended up expired! sayangnye... i got it from Snowdrop. you can also get yours from this link. bought a lot to share with frens to save on shipping!yeayyy.. the owner is such a nice lady too! she sews cloth pads and cloth diapers too! i love her cps.... 

we'll see how it goes. i might do a review here too!

Pumping at work..again!

Today marks the first day I'm pumping at work again. Used to do it daily but stopped when Zahra was about 10 months old due to too much workload and of course the inevitable penyakit 'M' . Why am i pumping again after such a long time? If everything goes as planned, I'll be going to Perth, Australia for a week for a business trip in mid of Dec, InsyaAllah.. What worries me the most is that Zahra won't be having her daily intake of breastmilk (no matter how little they are rite now). So I'm stocking up rite now even though i only got merely 2oz from pumping just now! Was a bit shocked but what do I expect after taking a break for wayy too long..

OK so I'm proposing myself a challenge here.. My target is to stock up about 35oz of EBM to cover 7 days of separation. That means Zahra will be having 5oz per day, or a bottle a day. Yes, she doesn't drink a lot of milk for every feeding.

Yesterday did manage to pump, got about 2.5oz, tambah dgn today's hasil 2oz, means I'm starting with just about 4.5oz. Will be taking breaks during the weekends cos Zahra would be direct fed almost 24hours including at night.. Can I really do this???


current stock = 4.5oz
30.5oz to go!!
