I delivered Abilash (normal delivery) in Klang. As I was exclusively bf him, the nurses had to bring him to me whenever he cried (every 15 min or so) as he was kept in the nursery. In the beginning they did this & thus was so tired of bringing him to me so often. Then they decided to let Abilash bunk with me as he was nursing so frequently. I was the only bf mum in my room & thus the only one with bb bunking with me. The other mums were resting & sleeping peacefully while I was nursing around the clock.

Know something? I always wondered about this too! Immediately upon birth, my ob-gynae asked me to bf . I was shocked! What?! Right now? I asked. Me and baby so dirty and messy. My gynae kept quite-the baby whirled off to the nursery to be fed formula! After that everyone kept telling me to have more rest while I got the chance-I actually believe them. I slept and slept . Only go to the nursery a few time per day. On the third day, Junior started to have jaundice . I was really serious about bf then, but by the time, Junior won’t suck my Mcb. Each time I put him to my breast, he cried and cried. It comes to a point that I’m so scare of each feeding time. I was so frustrated and feel like a failure. So then, begin my journey of EBM ….express and express until he reached 1 year old. Me, bad mom!
I often wondered if I had bf him directly right upon birth and room in with him during the hospital stay, surely he wouldn’t reject my breast? Sigh! Hope I’ll better next time. Wish I know this group earlier!
