MY BABY MY WORLD!

Yes this is the old recipe which I think all mums have came across. The secret recipe to increase mums' milk volume. I read from the baby book that expressing milk using pumps is the as effective as having your baby to suck. The suckling effect will stimulate & release some ****** (forgets what is it) which is essential for milk prodn. So eventually milk supply will drop if u use pump. Then??!!! What will happen to me!!! Unfortunately, i did not let Niichi suck once we discharged from hospital. I feared there's not enough supply, and i even gave him formula milk for the 1st 2 days. So then he has nipples confusion, he dont wat to suck mine anymore (sob sob) i do feel very discouraged & depressed when he rejected me even though he is damn hungry. I tried just now, he still dont want!! ;-(
I asked the malay lady whether she has any receipe to incr milk flow. So she told me about this soup, which i already know. But there are a few more ingredients to add. Garlic - to kill germs, shallots -to make the milk sweet, Ginger & lemon grass - to get rid of the wind. The papaya must eat! My friend cook the chinese style - fish + ginger +papaya BUT she took away the papaya and replace with tomatoes coz chinese think that papaya too cold (liang). Aiyo! Papaya is the key to more more milk lah! Stupid girl! The malay lady taught me to cook more so that i can drink few times a day. Continue to drink for a week, will also improve my baby's skin!
She said if drink 5mins before u breastfeed, the milk will be warmer, baby will like it. Haiz, told u already, my baby dont want to latch! Y u keep hitting on my sore spot. But true u know?! After i drank, the milk that i pumped out is indeed warmer than usual! So i quickly grab Niichi to latch! He rejected, i feel like smacking him again.
