Assalammualaikum
Lama rasanya tak share pasal bf secara formal. Dulu, saya pernah alami blocked duct. Tak lah teruk sangat. Saya search cara merawat, alhamdulillah sekejap saja dah ok. Cuma baru-baru ne, dia datang balik. Biasanya Duktus tersumbat ne disebabkan proses pengepaman yang tidak efektif. Seingat saya, minggu lalu adalah minggu paling sibuk di ofis. Memang saya tak nafikan saya mengepam sekejap2 saja. Kadang-kadang saya tak dapat tunggu breast kosong sepenuhnya sebab kejar masa nak selesaikan itu ini. Akibatnya, saya alami blocked duct balik. Tapi alhamdulillah, Allah itu maha membantu. Segalanya jadi mudah. Sekarang dah ok. Dari situ terbuka hati nak share pasal sakit-sakit berkaitan penyusuan..
Ada beberapa perkara yang boleh sebabkan kita rasa sakit ketika menyusukan. Tapi ini tidak bermakna breastfeeding itu memberi kemudaratan. Biasanya, sakit tu yang biasa-biasa saja.. InsyaAllah. Pada saya, sepanjang 7 bulan menyusukan Insyirah penuh, kesakitan itu InsyaAllah masih boleh ukirkan senyuman saya untuk BREASTFEEDING.. ^_^
Untuk info kita bersama saya kongsikan buat ibu hebat di luar sana.. Moga memberi sejuta manfaat.. InsyaAllah..

Raynaud’s phenomenon also known as blanching of the nipple is now a common breastfeeding problem, affecting up to 20% of all women of childbearing age.
Reynaud's is not caused by breastfeeding, but caused through abnormal spasms of arteries that supply blood to your nipples, causing the restriction of blood flow and therefore numbness, burning and pain.

Ada beberapa masalah diatas yang turut saya alami. Blocked duct, dulu memang selalu. Saya terus buat rawatan untuk elak keadaan jadi teruk. Syukur, semuanya dah ok. Let down pula, biasalah. Semua ibu yang menyusukan pasti akan alaminya. Tapi alhamdulillah setakat ne normal saja. Tiadalah yang teruk pun. Dan selepas berusaha menambah kuantiti daripada kemeruduman yang lalu, Let Down Reflex saya dah kuat balik. Sebenarnya saya suka dapat LDR balik2 tym mengepam, sebab deras sungguh air susu keluar.. ^_^
Insyirah sekarang memang suka gigit. Aduhai, belum keluar gigi lagi. Selalunya, saya akan cuba kawal diri dari menjerit bimbang akan takutkan Insyirah. Tau saya buat macamana? picit hidung dia.. hehe tapi tak kuat la.. dia mesti akan lepaskan.. Toing!! hehe
Apapun, semoga perkongsian ini bermanfaat..
Salam sayang..
