Bekalan harian Adam. 7 packs of frozen EBM.
One thawed and heated to suam-suam EBM.
And a pacifier.
Every weekend, I do my stock count. Last week it was 56x3oz. Yesterday it was depleted to 49x3oz. Last week Adam consumed more than what I 'produced' via pumping. Plus, on Sunday, he refused direct feeding. Nak botol dia tu.
I am the kind yang susah nak increasekan production. I tried lobak putih, kurma merah, betik, oat, fenugreek -> all to very minimal effect. Tapi tetap ku telan jua. Manalah tau kot-kot stop all those, nanti production decrease pulak kan. Janji usaha tu ada.
Based on my readings, one of the remedy to inscrease breastmilk is dried longan. I've tested it. Like I said earlier, to minimal effect but hey,.. sungguh sedap okeh. Bought some dried ones in one of those stalls in MidValley. RM4 for a small pack. Second time I bought from kedai singseh in Cheras Perdana, RM6 for medium pack. Last I bought was from Carrefour MidValley that went by weight.
I normally boiled a big pot (about 3 litres) of water with brown sugar or 'nnesang kerek'. Then I added dried longan and have it simmered for another 1/2 hour. Leave to cool and indulge. Kalau masuk fridge, perghhh... lagi lah best. Since I am breastfeeding and can be considered baru bersalin jugak, I need to minimise my iced/cold food.
Try lah, best tau.
