Breastfeeding Day 2009

Breastfeeding Week is celebrated worldwide on the first week of August yearly....and this year , i am proud to celebrate this wonderful event together with my breastfeeding baby....in fact, this is my 1st year celebrating it as a breastfeeding mum!...when Jihan was born in 2005, i wasn't aware of such event, so i missed the boat....the subsequent years, i already stopped breastfeeding and i was busy doing my oncalls, so there goes my chance to support the event...and this year, with the born of my little prince, i made an attempt not to miss this auspicious event!

it was organized by susuibu.com and Majlis Perbandaran Kajang, held at Dewan MPKJ Kajang, last Saturday....the 3 of us (me, hubby and Imti - Jihan had to stay home as she had cough and cold), woke up early and arrived in time for the ceremony...we took part in the Breastfeeding-thon where mums breastfed their babies for 5 minutes at the same time together...there were at least 30 pairs of mums and babes participating....Imti couldn't wait for the event, so he started about 10 minutes earlier as he was so hungry...

i was so happy to meet my breastfeeding mentor, Puan Kamariah of susuibu.com and Puan Rita Rahayu of momslittleones, and i made new friends with other breastfeeding mums too...i was surprised to meet the silent reader of my blog, Salwa...thanks for saying hi and acknowledging yourself to me...really nice meeting you...

we had potlucks party...i brought kuih talam labu berlauk....

i hope to participate and support such event next year and i pray that i am still breastfeeding Imtiaz at that time...
