Breastfeeding, Baby!

Breastfeeding been a journey of life to me. Full of ups and downs, tears and happiness. I struggled a lot. Many people through it smoothly, while the other through some rough time with it, just like me. I been in a time when I got no breastmilk at all, when my baby couldnt have any intake for days, when I couldnt breastfeed my baby, when my baby couldnt even get the nipple and suck it right for almost a month. Still I determined to exclusively breastfeed my baby for 6 months.

Yes, I finally through the first 6 months. No formula at all. Now Im planning on continue breastfeeding until he is 2 years old. We already know from the experts that breastmilk is the best milk ever. It provides so much nutrition for the baby. Some research even say that baby can actually stay and get enough nutrition from breastmilk only  without solid food for one whole year. But forget that, we, mothers definitely wanna give the best for our baby. So for me exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is a must, then giving solid food after 6 months is also a must. 

Breastfeeding for me is a magical feeling. I even addicted to it.  If in several hours I dont breastfeed my baby, I kinda miss it. Breastfeeding itself is not only about supplying nutrition to the baby but also about building a strong bond with the baby. Its like a straight contact of mother-baby relationship. Its not just like "here, imma give you my breastmilk". We have to look 'em in the eye, talk to em, cuddle em, touch em, while breastfeed em. This just a beautiful moment..

So for my baby being breastfed by me is comforting. We all know that sucking is something to comfort the baby. I myself find that whenever he got mommys nipple, itll calm him down. Its my ultimate weapon of dealing with cranky and crying baby. It is THAT powerfull, a pacifier cant even beat that. So for any mothers who are able and capable to breastfeed your baby, please do, enjoy it, be happy with it, embrace it, dont ever think that you dont have enough breastmilk and thinking of giving your baby a formula. While for mothers who arent able, dont give up. Just try n try again, cuz your babys demand will automatically followed by the supply of your breastmilk. But if you have enough trying, then formula is okay, or breastmilk from a donor maybe a choice. No offense but I, myself, prefer formula than a donor since I dont know the donor medical history. Either way, your baby needs milk! :B

Soto Seger Hj. Fatimah, Boyolali

Gambar
Beberapa waktu lalu kami jalan-jalan ke Boyolali. Setiap singgah di tempat baru pastinya selalu cari makanan khas daerah tersebut.  Boyolali sendiri terkenal sebagai kota susu, tapi kami nggak nyari susunya. Saat itu waktu makan siang. Laper banget. Jalan deh ke pusat kota dan liat soto boyolali yang penuh banget. Sampe keder sendiri kalo mau masuk.  Jangankan masuk, parkir aja nggak bisa.  Dan herannya hampir semua warung soto seger ini penuh semua.   Lalu kami carilah warung soto yang memungkinkan kami duduk dalam warung itu. Warung Soto Segeer Hj. Fatimah (sama aja kayak Mbok Giyem hanya merubah nama), karena soto Hj. Fatimah/ Mbok Giyem inilah yang ada di setiap titik kota ini.  Penyajian soto segeer ini di mangkuk kecil mirip soto Kudus. Namun, soto segeer ini adalah soto sapi bukan soto ayam. Kuahnya bening tidak kuning. Terdapat beberapa suwiran daging sapi, dipercantik dengan beberapa helai daun seledri dan tauge yang banyak.  Rasanya segeeerr banget. Enak deh. Cucok buat e

Product Review: The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm Passion Berry

TBS Born Lippy Lip Balm in Passion Berry I have a dry lip so I wanna keep my lip moisturized all day. I usually have Nivea lip balm for myself, but since I was running out of the Nivea one, I figured why not try something else. Then I went to TBS counter and picked it straight away. TBS Born Lippy Lip Balm comes in a mini round plastic tub. Its small and handy but actually I dont really like this kinda packaging. I have to dip in my finger to get  it, so its not really hygienic. I personally prefer a stick packaging thou. It costs about IDR 69k. Yeah, its more expensive than the Nivea lip balm. It has a jelly texture kinda waxy. But when I put it on, its not so waxy or sticky at all. It feels creamy and light on my lip. It also makes my lip looking glossy. I wear this every day and night to keep my lip moist. I can tell you that it stays for over 2 hours, which is good enough. But in my opinion, this doesnt give me like a hardcore moisturizing power. Still moisturizes but not s

Baby Stuff: Mamy Poko Extra Dry vs Pampers Active Baby

Just a random post. Thought of reviewing baby stuff since I have talked a lot on mommy stuff. This may be or may not be so informative or interesting. Just enjoy sharing. So, today post is about diaper. Yes, Im one of those mothers who are STILL depending on disposable diapers. My baby wears disposable diaper only at night or whenever he goes out. Mamy Poko and Pampers are my two most favorite diapers, and the two brands that I ve ever tried.  On to the review. Mamy Poko Extra Dry was my baby's first diaper at home (when he was born, the hospital gave him some random diapers which I didnt recognize). Mamy Poko is pretty well known here for the quality. It comes in a pretty bulky design, bit thick.  Makes an obvious gap between my baby's legs. Non streatchable. The inner is soft but like I said, a bit thick. Now here comes the magic, it can absorbs so much liquid  and stays dry up to 10 hrs. Seriously, that just blows my mind. The downside is whenever my baby is pee-ing so m
