My Confinement Diary : 5 weeks confinement

Now I started my confinemt at my house;Kelantan. Unfortuantely, the house is under renovation and more like ‘rumah bersamu Tv3′ . Pity to Widad, day time is so damn hot and night time so freezing cold plus dusty and noise from construction works. She hardly sleep during day time and sometimes becomes so cranky.

My Confinement Routine & Diary

  • Wake up quite late as i cant sleep at night. Now no more hot shower for me & Widad. Widad screaming bler air sejuk touch her skin
  • After 30days confinement at MIL’s which I was served with all kind of foods, now its time for me to berpantang makan.. Hahhhh. My mom really practice all those pantang larang including pantang makan, cara duduk, not all fruit boleh makan,acara “pelepas” etc. Antara foods that not allow to eat ; putu mayam sebab putu mayam bentuk dier berpintal2, kalu makan sakit urat, duduk kena kaki straight tak boleh bersilang sbb nanti angin tak kuar dok berpintal kat kaki.. acara “pelepas” iaitu acara halau hantu or anasir2 jahat after bersalin. Kalu nak bawa BB kuar, have to bring along black papper plus paku tuk avoid hantu datang dekat ngn BB. etc.
  • Reduce few more pound, now my weight is 61kg

61kg – Mummy

  • Widad 2nd dose HepĀ  B injection at Poliklinik Kg Penambang. She now weighted 4.3kg.

4.3kg – Widad

  • Widad already circumcise – Me tak sanggup tgk Widad kena circumcise, so MamaAtok yg pegang and handle .
  • My parent not so supportive in breastfeeding. Lack of info and knowledge were the major factors why they are not sopportive. Nangis je dorang igt Widad lapar..adussss.Pastu sibok nak kasik makan nasik lenyek. Yang paling sedih bler my mom cakap cami ” Ala Widad, dok jela kat sini MamaAtok jaga, kalu lapa MamaAtok kasik susu cap LEMBU”..adoii geramnya

    Wow, I’m surprised to read this because I thought all Malay families are supportive of breastfeeding. Hang in there, ok?

    I had really tough times with mother, mother-in-law, confinement lady etc for BOTH my kids but am still breastfeeding (even though not 100%). You can do it and you have the Medela Freestyle!!!

    I hope that Huda will blog more about the Malay confinement practice – I’m really interested to learn more about it :D
