Carbs for my love

I'm almost 8 months post-partum. To be honest I sill haven't gotten back into my pre-pregnancy weight. I tried dieting but since i'm breastfeeding it's so hard. I get hungry easily LOL. Dieting for me means not taking much carbs like rice but the thing is, rice especially  brown rice is my milk booster. The other day, I only had fruit juice for breakfast and fried spaghetti for lunch. I pumped for 40 minutes and got only 1oz.

Diet plays a significant role in producing milk so I can't afford to diet now. So this morning I had oat + banana smoothie for breakfast and brown rice for lunch. This afternoon, I pumped nearly 5oz.. I'm one happy mommy!

Almost 5oz !
I learned that different people will have different type of milk booster food. When my baby was still a newborn, I was told to drink young papaya soup. I tried but the result wasn't as good as oats and rice for me. Oh, and drink lots of fluid :)

The truth is, you don't need to spend alot of money on those milk booster products they have in the market. You can boost your milk supply using natural food. All you need is some trial and error. Try everything til you get the one that suits you. My favourites are brown rice, oats, bananas, and avocados.

To new and/ or soon-to-be mommies out there.. All the best in finding your milk booster! <3 div="">

It was a heated discussion that we had on facebook on religious issues. No, it wasn't between Christian and another religion but it was between Christian denominations. It all started by this boy, who at the end got a taste of his own medicine. As an Adventist, i respect other religion and also other Christian denominations. I don't go here and there proclaiming that i am in the right path and tell everyone to be an Adventist just because i believe i am in the right religion. Everyone, no matter in what Christian denomination they are, be it Catholic or protestants and also other religions (Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist) they all believe they are the right religion in the world but that doesnt give you the right to go condemning other people's belief. So yesterday, this is what he posted on his shout out box: He is a Catholic, so indirectly he is saying that other Christian denominations are FAKE. He claims that God gave him visions and voices to go and save the human race from ...

Kuching getaway (Day 1)

Image
I have been wanting to get away from the hectic work life and studies since may. So this is it. A domestic getaway to Kuching, Sarawak :) Our flight to Kuching was at 8am on AirAsia. We arrived early, at about 9:15am. 10 minutes early. The first thing we did was went to the hotel to confirm our reservation of room & have breakfast. We were really hungry by the time we reached the hotel. The area that we are staying didnt have that much of eateries nearby. The hotel's frontdesk lady said we have to walk 10-20 minutes to the nearest eatery. We were searching for Laksa, by the way.  After walking not 10, or 20.. But 30 minutes!!!! We found an eatery at Chinatown. It was a small coffee shop (i forgot the name) but it served kolo mee and sarawak laksa. So we had our breakfast there. After that we walked somemore and went to sarawak plaza, tun jugah and centrepoint. I was surprised that the malls here are not like the ones we have in KK. I could walk around each malls in less than 5 ...
