The Power of Boobs

Now that I can hand express 100ml to 150ml of breast milk at one go, I cannot stop being amazed by the power of the boobs. I am totally amazed every time the milk spritz out from my nipples knowing that it contains all the antibodies and nutrients my baby needs. 

I am into my 2 months and 3 weeks breastfeeding journey. It wasn't easy at first, summing up with the bloodied and sore nips, hard as stone engorged breast and a wailing baby on the side. All the time researching how to increase my milk and trying it out each advise to ensure my milk will be more than enough. Although we are mix feeding my Peanut currently (it really pisses me off but I have no choice but increase my milk stash) and being constantly worried how her poop looks like from time to time, we are hoping that she will grow more.

A lot of mothers are unaware that a breastfed baby fats are fully packed inside their body. They might not look like Michelin or Bay Max type of fats but they are lean and packed. My hubby constantly worry that our baby is not growing fast enough, but I strongly have faith in the power of my breast milk. My baby is well nurtured with strong bones (just like last night, she kept raising her head as if wanting to sit at 2.3 months!) and she has strong immune system. 

I can continue all day and night highlighting all the benefits and wonders of breast milk  and how it is the best among all baby food but I guess, all mothers knows this. I do not condemn those mothers who choose to formula fed their babies because each mother knows whats best for their own babies. As long as the baby gets fed on time, poops properly, sleep properly then all is well. Each mom has their own way nurturing their babies and as for me, I will do my best to drink, eat and increase my milk for my beloved Peanut!
