My baby is growing and his needs for breastmilk has increased. Earlier I was kind of frustrated when I cannot produce enough breastmilk for him. Everyone advised to feed him more often and the milk will naturally come to cater for his needs. At times, he latches every hour but the milk didn’t seem to multiply.
Then I remembered that Chinnee from Mamapatch.com ate a certain kind of pills to help boost her milk production. She has twins you know; so I am sure the pill works. Send her a buzz and she told me to buy Halba / Fenugreek to eat. Fenugreek is an Indian spice which is commonly use in their curry.
So, I am supposed to swallow half teaspoon of this sand-like grain 3 times a day! My mom said that Halba / Fenugreek is heaty so I have to monitor how this will affect my body; I have hemorrhoids and I can’t take too much heaty stuff. So I started with only half teaspoon a day.
It WORKS! I have constant supply of breastmilk since taking it. My breast hardly go empty. I even have enough breastmilk to breastfeed my newborn niece.
At first my mom bought the Halba from the supermarket at 50 cents for 10g! That is way too expensive. Later I went to an Indian shop and bought it at RM5 for 1kg! Then I send it to the mill for grinding that cost me RM3. I wanted the powdered Fenugreek coz when I eat the grain, the grain came out unscratched. 
But then hor, it is way too difficult to swallow the powdered form. 
But I still swallow it with a cup of warm Milo to wash it down. In less than 2 months time, I would be needing to swallow Fenugreek 3 times a day coz I volunteered to babysit my sister’s firstborn so that I can breastfeed her till she is 6 months old.
I am so nice hor? No lar! 
I just wanna stay slim as long as possible coz by then my baby would be 8 months old and he will take more solid than breastmilk. Ada udang di sebalik mee.
Stumble it!
i think u r beginning to miss breastfeeding, the way u described… so .. the only way to restart again is u-know-what… another new member perhaps?
Hahaha… I hope to stay slim for longer too

Hi, just dropping by from mamapumpkin’s blog. 50cents for 10g is nothing compared to what I paid for. Erm, 150 fenugreek powder in capsule form for 40ringgit. But only after I bought those that I discovered the fenugreek seed in the supermarket. Ish ish..
I don’t like the taste either, it’s yucky but it does help increase the milk production so no complain about it.
BF-ing your sister’s baby too? That’s so kind of you.
can consider putting those powder in those plastic capsule so easier to swallow?
