Subject: Worry Baby Only get Foremilk

Dear Mary,


It has been a while not writing to you. How are you? Hope you're in a great health. Here I'd like to seek an advise from you, base on my friend concern, Sheil(This email also cc to her):


       She is now breastfeed her baby, reaching 4 months old. Her concern is, her baby weight gain is very small and her baby only breastfeed for a short period. She worries, if her baby didn't get the sufficient nutrient from the breast milk(only drink foremilk). She did said to me that sometimes her baby poo poo is light green colour (which mean her baby only consume foremilk right?). She also mentioned that her breastmilk is thin...


The question here:

1.      What she need to do, to ensure her baby obtain both foremilk and hindmilk? She try to pump and bottle fed her baby but baby refused?
2.      Is there a need for her to take supplement such as multivitamins or any milk booster(Alfalfa/fenugreek) to thicken her breastmilk?

Appreciate your reply soon...


Thank you & regards,


Zuraifah Anuar

Berikut ialah jawapan dari Mary Bibs:


Dear Zuraifah,


It's nice to hear from you again for your friend.


Here is some info for Sheil:


I think that you would benefit by eating or taking some things that can increase the supply.  I am sending you a list of these.  Increasing the fat in your diet will not increase the fat in your breast milk or make it richer.  I agree with Zuraifah that if your daughter only breastfeeds briefly that she is probably not getting the fat that is there for her. Can you try squeezing the breast when your daughter eats to try to get more milk to her?


It is fine that your baby won't take the extra milk by bottle.  But, would she take it if you put it in an eyedropper, a medicine syringe, a spoon or from a small cup?  Or, she could be fed the extra milk at the breast with some tubing.  Please see www.drjacknewman.com for Dr. Newman's description of a Lactation Aid.  Also, if you look at breast compression, you will see a description of squeezing the breast, and there is a video clip there too.  I recommend pumping AFTER she breastfeeds to try to increase the supply.


Here are the herbs, foods and medicines:


Some mothers find it helpful to take the herbs Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle, two to three capsules three times per day, and Goat's Rue, 1-2 tsp. in 8 oz. (240 mls) of boiling water once or twice a day. Increasing breastfeeding and/or pumping sessions must happen along with taking these herbs, as removing milk from the breasts is very important to stepping up milk production. Fenugreek should probably not to be used by people with asthma, as it may worsen symptoms. Also, Fenugreek may alter insulin needs in diabetic individuals.   Please consult with an herbalist or your doctor before using any herbs.  


Sources:  www.drjacknewman.com and The Nursing Mothers Herbal, c. 2006 by Sheila Humphrey.


Two prescription medicines are often used for increasing the supply.  Domperidone (Motilium) is approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics for use by breastfeeding mothers, but this medication is not readily available in the United States.  The other prescription medicine is Reglan, (Metoclopramide.)  Unfortunately, this medicine can have some serious side effects.  Please keep in close contact with your doctor if you are taking Reglan.

Here are some foods and herbs that can help to increase the supply:  

1. High fiber foods and grains such as oats (not instant), barley, brown rice and beans. 
2. Calcium-rich foods such as sesame, almonds and dark green leafy vegetables.  
3. Fruits such as apricots, dates, figs and cooked green papaya.  Soups made from Torbangun or Mulunggay leaves.
4. Herbs:  Some of the common cooking herbs include anise, blackseed, caraway, coriander; dill, fennel and fenugreek. 
5. Nonfood herbs include alfalfa, blessed thistle, milk thistle, nettle, goat's rue, red clover and Shatavari. 

Source:  Journal of Human Lactation, "Increasing Your Milk Supply with Galactogogues," by Lisa Marasco, c. 2008.


Avoid hormonal methods of birth control as these can decrease the milk supply. Mothers often have trouble with Depo-Provera injections as well as oral birth control pills. Even the progestin-only mini-pill and hormonal IUDs can cause supply problems for some mothers.  Over-the-counter medications for colds and allergies, especially those containing pseudoephedrine, (Sudafed, Actifed, Drixoral and many others), can cause supply problems.

Sheil, I hope that this helps you out.  Please write again if you have more questions.

Anda Tanya - Iffa Jawab : Bila sepatutnya ambil lecithin, Sebelum atau Selepas Makan?

Salam semua,


Minggu kurus badan ni banyak pula Iffa dapat soalan-soalan menarik. Baru tadi Iffa dapat sms dari Datin Walis, bertanya:

"Iffa, betul ke makan lecithin after each meal..dlm internet before meal"

Nampak mudah soalannya, tapi memang mengelirukan ramai orang. sebab jika anda google ada pendapat yang mengatakan lecithin bagus diambil sebelum makan dan ada yang mengatakan ia bagus di ambil selepas makan. Jadi yang mana satu betul ya? Pertama sekali mari Iffa share pengalaman Kak N, pengasas trial pack Shaklee. Beliau telah mengambil supplement Shaklee lebih kurang 9-10 tahun. Ini yang dikongsikan oleh beliau bersama Iffa dan rakan-rakan:


Ibu AddinNasa

Product knowledge:

"Saya baru belajar sesuatu tentang Lecithin. Dulu saya biasa amik Lecithin sebelum makan especially masa sedang menyusu anak....namun setelah saya terbaca satu artikel, pengambilan vitamin sebelum makan boleh meningkatkan enzim metabolik yang mana kesannya boleh menjadikan seseorang kuat makan dan sentiasa berselera. Saya notice saya melaluinya. Saya tukar semula jadual pemakanan Lecithin saya, saya amik 6 biji selepas lunch and dinner, baru lah saya tak mudah lapar dan berat saya menampakkan penurunan."

Menurut beliau, artikel yang di refer ialah dari ruangan Kesihatan, Mingguan Malaysia. Untuk customer yang merujuk kepada Iffa, Iffa memang akan suggest pengambilan Lecithin selepas makan, kerana ia meningkatkan kadar penyerapannya. Bawah ni Iffa share info on



When is the best time to take vitamin supplements?


According to Karen Sullivan, author of Vitamins & Minerals, An Illustrated Guide, it's best to take most supplements after a meal. Absorption of supplements is best when the body has bulky food to work on. It is especially important to take time-release formulas with food.


Water-soluble vitamins, especially B-complex and C, are excreted rapidly from the body. So breaking your dose into three parts to take after meals will give you the best chance of maintaining a high body level.


If you have to take all your supplements at once, it is best to take them after your biggest meal of the day. It is also important to take vitamins and minerals together as minerals are essential for the proper absorption of vitamins.


Remember to check your label. It should advise you as to specific instructions on best times to take. Also remember that your health care professional may advise you to vary these guidelines in order to obtain a particular result.

Iffa ada jumpa satu laman sawang(Vital Health) yang menceritakan segala perihal lecithin. Mari iffa kongsikan di sini. Maaflah, tidak berkesempatan untuk translate.

Why lecithin is good for you

Lecithin is a fatty substance which is found in high concentrations in the cell membrane (phospholipid). Every living cell of the body requires lecithin because of its requirement in creating cell membranes. Lecithin is both water and oil soluble and regulates the movement of fats and nutrients entering and leaving the cell.

Lecithin is required for a whole range of body functions, including infant and foetal development and as an aid in reproduction, is essential in keeping the liver and gall bladder healthy and for heart health.

The body uses lecithin both for the proper formation of bile (the body's main emulsifying compound), and as an emulsifying agent itself. Lecithin helps the body use and absorb fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin A,vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.

Lecithin is an important precursor to the main neurotransmitter,acetylcholine, which plays an important role in memory and muscles control. Myelin sheaths that protect the brain, spine and thousands of nerves in the body are almost two-thirds lecithin.

Soy lecithin, a constituent included in most processed and packaged foods is included as a natural emulsifier or stabiliser, is extracted during the processing of soybean oil. It promotes solidity in margarine and gives a consistent texture to salad dressing and other creamy products.

The body produces its own lecithin in the liver.

Important lecithin facts

• The brain consists of 30% lecithin
• Lecithin is an excellent source of the vitamin B cofactor, choline(choline is part of the lecithin molecule)
• Around 20% of the lecithin found in plants and natural foods consists of phosphatidylcholine
• Choline is so vital in infant development that all baby formula must contain this nutrient
• Lecithin is a phospholipid, which is part of cell membranes
• Lecithin granules contain higher concentrations of phosphatidylcholine
• Lecithin is a good source of linolenic acid

Types of lecithin supplementation

Lecithin is available in the following forms:

• Capsules - lecithin powder is added to capsules
• Tablet - lecithin is compressed and formed into tablets
• Powder - extracted from soybeans and crushed into a powder
• Granules - soybeans that have been granularised
• Soft gel Capsules - filled with soybean lecithin liquid(Shaklee Lecithin dlm kategori ini)
• Liquid - soy lecithin is extracted into a liquid oil

Lecithin supplementation checklist

• Lecithin should be taken with meals to increase absorption
• Granular lecithin has a nutty/grainy flavour and can be added to cereals, juice or smoothies
• Choose non-genetically modified lecithin supplements (the long term effects of genetic modification are not yet known and erring on the side of caution is advisable)
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight - storage in the refrigerator is preferred

Lecithin and health

• Gall bladder disease - lecithin is a key component of bile, which is a fat digester produced in the gall bladder. Low lecithin levels have been known to cause gallstones when bile levels are low. Taking extra lecithin in this situation has been shown in studies to prevent gallstones
• Liver disease - a 10 year study on animals showed that lecithin prevented cirrhosis and severe liver scarring caused by alcoholism. Other similar studies have shown it helps the liver affected with hepatitis.
• Alzheimer's disease - the nerve-building and protection properties of lecithin may be useful for helping with memory problems in people with Alzheimer's disease. More studies are needed in this area to provide proof for this
• People taking niacin/nicotinamide - people taking these supplements for treatment of high blood cholesterol ortriglycerides levels may need lecithin or choline supplementation to re-balance these levels

Lecithin in food

Overdosage, toxicity and cautions for lecithin

In generally healthy adults, there are no health concerns or contraindications at normal dosage.

In high doses choline may cause the following side-effects:

• nausea
• sweating
• diarrhoea
• vomiting
• bloating

CAUTIONS

• People with bipolar disorder and depression - should not use lecithin as it can worse the depressive stage of the illness
• People with any psychiatric condition - should get medical advice before taking lecithin

Jadi, Iffa harap info dan jawapan yang Iffa berikan dapat menguraikan persoalan dari Datin dan juga mereka yang sedang mengambil atau yang ingin mencuba Lecithin.

Bersesuaian dengan tema minggu ini, Minggu Misi Kuruskan Badan Cara Shaklee~ Iffa terbaca testi ini di blog Kak N, jadi iffa langsungkan aja di sini..mekaseh ye Kak N and Hanis.. Jom baca kisah menarik si Hanis ini!

______________________________________________________________________

Sumber asal : Blog Hanis Anim

Assalamualaikum..

Ada yang dah tahu gambar kami (saya & Muadz) masuk dalam majalah Pa&Ma Feb 2011?

cover Pa&Ma Feb 2011

Ini gambarnya..

Muadz berusia 1 hari

tembamkan? hubby siap kata pipi sama tinggi dengan hidung. Tapi sekarang…

Muadz 9 bulan

Apa rahsianya? Selain menyusukan dengan susu ibu sepenuhnya, saya percaya Shaklee turut membantu. Ingat entry saya yang ini?

Jujurnya, sebelum mengandung berat saya 55kg. Check-up saya yang terakhir iaitu sebulan sebelum bersalin, berat saya 75kg. hohoho. Banyak betul saya naik kan. Masa nak bersalin tu agaknya berat saya naik lagi. Selepas melahirkan berat saya cuma kurang 10kg. Maka berat saya 65kg dan selepas pantang alhamdulillah, berat saya turun ke 60kg. Tapi selepas tu memang susah nak turun.

saya memang jenis yang agak sukar turun berat badan. Sehinggalah saya ambil Shaklee. Perubahan yang saya dapat selain susu bertambah dari segi kuantiti dan bertambah pekat, sistem perkumuhan saya juga semakin lawas. Daripada 2 biji alfalfa sehari saya naikkan ke 4 biji sehari kerana susu sedikit kurang.

Sekarang saya ambil 4 biji alfalfa sehari dan membuang 2-3 kali sehari. Tapi bukan sakit perut yang memulas. Saya juga makan tak berhenti sampai orang meja sebelah asyik tanya, tak breakfast ke tadi? tak lunch ke tadi? huhu.

Cuba teka berat saya berapa sekarang? Kalau timbang di pagi hari selepas mandi, berat saya 52kg. Jika timbang di malam hari sebelum tidur berat saya 53kg. Ada yang kata ibu yang menyusu anak terutama pada 6 bulan pertama memang mudah turun berat badan.

Alhamdulillah, kini Muadz dah pun 9 bulan tapi berat saya masih maintain lingkungan itu. Sebelum ni risau sebab ramai yang terkejut saya terlalu kurus. Risau adakah muka saya kusam dan macam tak cukup makan? rupanya sebab saya lebih kurus dari masa saya belajar dulu. Tapi alhamdulillah, masih healthy. Mungkin saya perlu ambil Vit E supaya muka saya nampak lebih healthy.   

Apa yang saya ambil? Saya cuma ambil Set B+ESP+Ostematrix.

______________________________________________________________________

Actually, Set C dan Set B tidak banyak bezanya. Di dalam Set C untuk berpantang mempunyai zinc complex yang penting untuk baik pulih luka peranakan baik luka dalam atau luaran . Jika ibu-ibu ingin add on Alfalfa sebagai milk booster, ibu-ibu boleh melakukannya dengan menambah RM 10 sahaja untuk 80 tabs alfalfa(menarik bukan).. (luka cepat baik, susu insyaAllah meriah!) Mari Iffa listkan untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan:

Trial Pack Set B: RM 80 Sahaja (Free Delivery+Special Gift)

1. Vita-Lea - 30 tabs
2. Vita-C -30 tabs
3. B-complex - 30 tabs
4. Alfalfa - 60 tabs

Trial Pack Set C: RM 100 ( Add On Alfalfa pada harga RM 10 untuk 80 tabs) Juga Free Delivery dan ada Special give!

1. Vita-Lea - 40 tabs
2. Vita- C - 40 tabs
3. B-Complex - 40 tabs
4. Zinc - 40 tabs

Jadi, apa yang membantu Puan Hanis, mendapatkan berat asalnya? Beliau telah mengamalkan ESP, Energizing Soy Protein. Supplement yang diambil oleh beliau sama macam yang Iffa ambil kecuali Iffa tak boleh ambil alfalfa. Ingat tak Iffa pernah cerita tentang Kak Aisha, sewaktu Iffa hantar pump ke rumahnya, kak Aisha memang terkejut tengok perubahan pada Iffa, semakin kurus! Memang lagi kurus dari zaman sekolah. di sekolah dulu berat 58-60 kg.. sekarang alhamdulillah maintain 54-56 kg.

Meh Iffa share picture Iffa rite after naik kerja lepas confinement(Iffa ambil steroid masa confinement) maka takdelah berat yg turun, naek adalah... (T________T)

Pandangan Sisi (kiri depan)

Pandangan dari depan (tembam)

Inilah ummi Faheem yang cun melecun!Raya 2010

Jika ibu-ibu mempunyai budget yang lebih, bolehlah menambah lecithin kedalam supplement ibu-ibu. Lecithin berfungsi untuk memecahkan lemak-lemak. Iffa ada buat eksperimen in lecithin ni, nanti iffa share, kerana ia sahih dan terbukti benar.(Anda juga boleh mencubanya sendiri). Selain memecahkan lemak, ia sangat popular sebagai supplement untuk Minda! atau Brain Power. Meningkatkan focus ibu-ibu, InsyaAllah. (Lecithin juga terdapat dalam bentuk Trial Pack)

Jika ingin mengetahui lebih lanjut, boleh hubungi Iffa ya..
