I am busy everyday but yesterday I used my energy more which means I burnt more calories and my body uses more water. So the water that I drank was not sufficient to produce breastmilk. This is what I figured.
After washing and hanging my laundry and sweeping the floor, I was out with hubby, my eldest daughter and baby to run some errands. The moment I step home, I put my baby to sleep (with my breastmilk of course; takan use sleeping pills. hehe) then I started mopping every single part of the house. It was very tiring and I was sweating (I don’t sweat easily you know). I doubt the maid mops the floor like I do coz the amount of dirt on my baby’s socks is the same as when she mops the house every other day. I figured she just wet the floor when she mops. At the end of it, my tummy started to ache and that forced me to stop and rest.
In the evening when baby took his nap around 6pm, I quickly take the broom and started raking/sweeping the leaves that are covering the ground as fast that I could but I did not have enough time to collect them to throw in the rubbish pit coz baby woke up within that half an hour. Will do that right after I am done with this post coz hubby, my eldest and first boy are coughing so we are not going to church; air-cond room will make them cough even more.
Then I realised that my breastmilk is not producing as much as it should. I did drink a lot of water but I guess it was not sufficient coz I did extra work.
Now I know the reason cows can produce a lot of milk. All they do is eat, drink and sleep; eat, drink and sleep. That is IMPOSSIBLE for a SAHM mommy without any helper to follow. So I must drink more water than I usually drank and triple my fenugreek(halba) intake every Saturday.
Stumble it!
First time here. Nice to meet you.
Try to take the “Serangin” (Malay) fish more. I think it’s the best help in producing best milk. And, you can also try papaya.
Boil soup and drink. You can threw everything into a crock pot to boil.
