Fasting & Breastfeeding
This entry was taken from the susu ibu forum. Something to share.
Puasa dan Penyusuan
Soalan 1:
Nak bertanya, saya sekarang sedang fully breastfeed baby saya yang berumur almost 4 bulan. Sekiranya saya berhasrat untuk berpuasa, akan berkurangkan jumlah pengeluaran susu saya?
Soalan 2:
Saya pun nak bertanya, baru ni saya berpuasa ganti saya rasa mcm tak larat nak berpuasa, rasa lapar yg amat sgt. bolehkah sesapa boleh berikan cara pemakanan yg betul untuk ibu yg menyusu cam kita smua ni. lagi pun bulan puasa semakin dekat dah ni… 
Jawapan:
Re: Puasa & Penyusuan
Apabila ibu yang menyusu berpuasa memang akan berlaku sedikit perubahan di dalam pengeluaran susu. Biasanya, susu akan kekeringan pada penghujung hari menghampiri waktu berbuka. Maklumlah kita tidak mengambil sebarang makanan dan minuman sepanjang waktu berpuasa.
Walau bagaimanapun, untuk mengatasi keadaan ini, saya cadangkan beberapa petua:
1. Sepanjang waktu malam (iaitu ketika kita boleh makan dan minum) susukanlah bayi kita semaksimum yang mungkin. Ini dapat mengurangkan permintaannya terhadap susu ibu di siang hari.
2. Minumlah lebih air di malam hari. Makan makanan yang berkhasiat serta amalkan sunnah nabi iaitu buah kurma. Kandungan khasiat di dalam buah kurma amat tinggi dan dapat membantu ibu menyusu.
3. Apabila telah hampir waktu imsak, bacalah ayat Al-kauthar dan minumlah seteguk air kosong sambil berdoa agar dikurangkan rasa dahaga sepanjang waktu berpuasa.(kerana lazimnya ibu menyusu akan berasa dahaga selepas menyusukan bayi)
4. Jika perlu, ambillah vitamin dan makanan tambahan untuk sepanjang bulan puasa untuk memastikan badan kita mempunyai tenaga yang mencukupi untuk menjalani ibadah puasa serta meneruskan tanggungjawab sebagai ibu.
5. Seterusnya berdoalah agar kita diberikan kekuatan dan dipermudahkan untuk melakukan kedua-dua ibadah ini kerana susu ibu adalah rezeki yang dikurniakan Allah terhadap anak kita dan jika telah ditentukan rezeki untuknya, pasti ada jalan untuk rezeki itu sampai kepada bayi kita dengan apa cara sekalipun.
Wallahua’lam.
Anyway, i dont know whether if i am going to fast this year. Last year so dasyat. Just because i was 37 weeks pregnant, i gave that as an excuse not to fast. Very bad right? And since i have no mensus for the past 10 months, woah, isn’t this a good start for me to start fasting?
I have sort out some plan during this coming Ramadhan. But im not sure if this will be successful. Cause once you started to do the kebaikan, there will always be dugaan to test you. And im so scared of the dugaan. How ah? What if i fail?
Guess this coming month, i got to stand by the formula milk just in case Shibly tak cukup susu from me. Normally during weekends, Shibly will get 100% susu cap gantung from me. Cuba lah kasi dia formula milk, dia akan reject se reject2 nye. Asik nak bergayut aje kat my tetek. LOL!
Plus if I puasa, confirm lemah gila punya and confirm jatuh sakit nye for the first few days of fasting. Ye lah, dah tak biasa kan nak puasa2. This week, last eh nak makan sedap2 during breakfast and lunch time. No more tea break eh. Kalau tak fasting pun, kena do it discreetly. Macam pencuri ah. LOL!!
Oh, i already got some recipes on what to cook during Ramadhan’s month. I am so semangat to have my own homecooked meal during weekends and mostly for Sahur. See? Semangat gila siak. Blum start puasa dah pikir pasal nak masak apa. Orang fikir lah pasal nak buat amal ibadat ke, nak sembahyang terawih ke, etc…. Hehehehehe. But i told my hubby that he got to co-operate with me if he wants to have a homecook meal. He has to look after Shibly lah so that i can cook peacefully.
I soooooooo miss cooking!!! Dah lama i never cook my Lemak Ayam Padi, my fried Kway Teow, my Ayam masak Kicap, my Ikan Pari masak Lada Hitam and my Curry Ikan. Sob sob sob…..
Anyway, Selamat berpuasa in advance ye, just in case i am too weak to update my blog. LOL!! And ya, as IF i can fast for the whole month? :p
hi sis..my advise is u can give a try..not to worry much..
I experience it last year,at first memang in doubt wether I can make it or not…hmm but not that bad,the hunger we feel is the same just like when we’re not breastfeeding,the milk supply continues as normal i dunt now where it came from though we din eat..all praises to Allah..
My tips: the night before u can soak kurma and uht/fresh milk in a jar and fridge it bout 3 hours..blend it for the next day sahur.. and drink..not only yummy but nutritious..eat as many kurma as you can..I did it during I was preggy and it worked as well as during my breastfeeding days,Hope this helps..
Insya Allah give a try ok =)
wah, ikan pari masak lada hitam sedap!!! lol! i also don’t know if i can fast but would like to try.
