Breastfeeding/Back to the rat race/ Radiofrequency

Breastfeeding is really worth it and rewarding. Being able to provide your loved one with the best food on earth is a blessing! It is not an easy task and requires a lot of education (like a diploma course) and determination and of course.. and....... SUPPORT. I would love to thank Breastfeeding mums support group in facebook. I have learnt a lot and will continue to learn as my kid grow.
Somehow, I hope that I will have 2nd baby soon. Get over and done with it! *ROARS*

The 1st and 2nd month of breastfeeding is really not easy, you experience blocked ducts, HARD BOOBS, pain, sore nipples, cracked nipples etc etc! but it gets better! So.... ENDURE! chinese saying, taste the bitterness first, then the sweet.

It is really worth it. =)

Thank God.

Been back to work since the 15th to help out, but officially I will only start on the 20th! Those 2 days tested my mental endurance rather than physical endurance.
Basically my routine goes like this :

630am- Prepare for work (Including pump milk)
1030am - Pump at work
(lunch)
230pm- pump at work
530pm- End work

Work is considered easy for now? The real challenge will be when it is full house, that will be a test whether I still can prioritize as well as before. I really enjoy working and communicating with patients so work is not an issue!

Evening:

6pm-Shower
630-645pm- Pump Milk
7pm-Feed the baby
Dinner and try to make baby sleep. Usually in the evening she does not require much sleep. Awake till next feed...
930pm-10pm- Feed the baby
11pm- pump milk

Last feed? Nope! I stayed up till 1130pm-12am to feed her last feed, even though she drinks very little, don't want her to wake me up tooooo early the next morning to feed.

2ish 3am... ALWAYS jolted awake by baby cries (not my baby). I literally jumped out of bed and ran to baby room, in the end? she is soundly asleep. pHEW. Then again, interrupted sleep.

430am -  Pump milk. Wash and sterilize.

630am. GOOD MORNING!

I really hope I can continue this routine without feeling tired. Or least, get used to it. The above tasks are not difficult really. It is insufficient sleep I get that is really bothering me.
School resumes next week! Seriously, I don't really care about qualification, cause it does not mean you are smarter or competent at work. Since I started it, I WILL TRY to complete it. Every Saturday, I will either have work or class... I can do it! Looking on the bright side, I might feel very tired and skip dinner every night. How awesome. Hahaha. I am so gonna be wonder woman, being a wife, mother, daughter, student and worker.

Juggling multiple roles, will I get identity confusion? LOL.

Remember I was very determined to get my stretchmark treated? I am not shameful about it as most mothers experience it. MOST, not all. So let me show you guys a picture of my thigh, be prepared to freak out!

Right Thigh

Before treatment....

After 6 sessions....

Left Thigh
Before Treatment..


After 6 sessions..


I can see obvious difference after 6 sessions of treatment. What I personally feel is that for the first 5 sessions, it is quite demoralizing cause you dont see any difference.... 
Skin starts to get less lumpy, lighter in colour only after 6th sessions. It is like 1st to 5th session : 0 improvement towards 6th session/after 6th session: +5 improvement. I will post pics after the 10th session... That will be in Nov. Can't wait to see the results!

I consulted Dr. Nicholas Ngui from Neu age Clinic regarding my stretchmark and he recommended Radiofrequency. Not only it stimulates collagen to repair skin, it tightens skin, lighten the marks and a bit of lipolysis! He was confident RF will be the best option to solve my issue. I trust him! Looking forward to share the final results! =D
