often we hear many new mothers and even experienced mothers complaint of having low milk supply and that somehow hinders their confidence to breastfeed their baby...knowing what goes wrong or trying to work it out why it happens is important, as the management for each problem differs...some might just go for a quick-fix but will that solve the entire problem..?
getting peer support or even professional help may relieve the anxiety and stress; which can aggravate further drop in the milk supply...searching for reliable information through the internet or books widens our knowledge and at the same time help us understand more on the physiology of milk-making in our body...i couldn't agree more that mothers should not be alone during this situation...they need support and encouragement and a word of advice telling them the correct thing to do....
i found a very interesting book that i bought while i was having the milk supply crisis when Imtiaz was around 9 months old...although at that time i was looking for a quick-fix, but after reading the whole book, i realized that there is more that just a quick-fix in making more milk for my little ones...The Breastfeeding Mother's Guide to Making More Milk incorporates the latest research and discoveries about causes of low milk supply, the way your body makes milk and how babies contribute to your milk production.. best of all, it offers valuable suggestions for both time-honoured and innovative ways to make more milk...
the opportunity to meet the author, Diana West during the Susuibu.com International Lactation Conference 2010 recently was exciting...listening to her speech helped me to boost my confidence to continue helping mothers with breastfeeding difficulties...i also got my book signed too...
this is definitely a worth buy...

ez, do they sell this book online?? wud love to read it...
and thanks for helping me the other day. I used to say this to my patients, "hmm kenapa tak breastfeeding?" when they start mixing with formula and start judging them.
But I myself became insecure when it comes to my own personal experience and tend to go for the quick fix, like u said.. I agree with you 100% that BF moms really need support to cont this breastfeeding battle. We just want the best for our child(ren), rite?
At the moment, it's hard for me to stay optimistic when i still can't see the result. So many things to do and so little time (BF and pumping, power pumping, vitamins to consume, sleep deprived while juggling with a fussy baby)that I become so stressed up (ni baru first baby).
Thanks to dear friends who relentlessly gave moral support. Doakan aku tak patah semangat ye.
yes, maryam... u can get it at www.momslittleones.com
actually kat susuibu hari tu pun ada..it's rm72...i forgot to recommend it to u the other day...
alhamdulillah, i'm glad that i was able to help and support my dear friends like u to breastfeed...i understand how rough a breastfeeding journey could be especially for a first time mother...insya allah, all those difficulties will pass and you'll treasure the sweet moments of breastfeeding at all times and will start missing it when ur baby has wean off...
take care and call me if u need help or support, insya allah will try my best to be with u...
