TLDR: #Breastfeeding is still (insert expletive) hard now, because Jude throws up like the Merlion frequently.
I’m writing this at 11:43pm, craving sleep so bad, but still sitting up in bed holding Jude against my chest in the hope that he will sleep deep enough so I can put him down on the bed without waking him. Just about 20 minutes ago, he threw up like the Merlion (again) while I tried to nurse him to sleep in bed. I feel like a failure every time this happens. Why can’t I stop him before he throws up? Why can’t I soothe him any other way besides nursing? Why do I have a fast letdown that causes him to gulp down too much milk too fast? Why do I suck at this bf (insert expletive) so bad?
And then, this smile. He flashes me this exact smile after throwing up. No fussing, no crying. It’s like “Ah Mama thanks for over-feeding me till I threw up, now I feel better!”
So, if you are in a similar situation, with a 11-week old baby who is breastfed and needs to nurse every 2 hours, and on top of that needs to comfort nurse in between, and on top of that you have a fast letdown and possible oversupply (I overdid the breastmilk boost), know that you are not alone.
Here are some things I’ve learnt on my bf journey so far that is totally in contrast to what the internet told me:
1) You CAN overfeed a breastfed baby. Because that’s what’s happening to me and Jude. He vomits or spits up a lot at least once a day, but he’s delivering good diaper output and putting on weight.
2) Some websites claim you never have to unlatch a baby; babies will know when they are full and unlatch themselves. Not true. Jude will nurse and nurse all day if I let him, or until he throws up like the Merlion. And no, it’s not a growth spurt. Because it’s every. single. day.
3) Some websites also claim that by 2 months, babies can sleep “through the night” or “in stretches of 4-6 hours”. They also claim that around the same time babies can go longer in between nursing. Not true. Because Jude is at 11 weeks and he still nurses every 2 hours, 3 at best, sometimes hourly. Even in the night.
Ok I shall now try to put Jude down in bed. Wish me luck. #breastfeedingjourney

PABILA ISTERI TERJATUH MENYEMBAH BUMI
Rayyan dan Nadira merupakan pasangan suami isteri yang sangat bahagia. Mereka jalani hidup seperti biasa hingga mereka tidak sedar yang situasi ini bakal terjadi jika kita semua tidak persiapkan diri dengan cara yang betul.
1. Sebelum ini, Nadira diberi serba serbi kelengkapan oleh Rayyan untuk memastikan isterinya gembira. Nadira berhenti kerja untuk pastikan urusan rumah terjaga dengan rapi. Satu pengorbanan yang sangat besar bagi seor...
Continue ReadingWhen the wife falls to worship the earth
Rayyan and nadira are a very happy husband and wife. They live life as usual until they don't realize that this situation is going to happen if we all don't prepare ourselves the right way.
1. Before, nadira was given a whole piece of equipment by rayyan to make sure his wife was happy. Nadira stopped working to make sure the house affairs are well maintained. A very big sacrifice for a wife to make sure the children are awake.
2. Fittings given are very perfect. All husband's responsibilities are well prepared by rayyan
✅ LIVING MONEY
✅ Kitchen spending
✅ school expenses
Kids
✅ a comfortable car
✅ a comfortable home
These 3. Husband and wife live in a very comfortable, calm & peaceful the. A little fight is normal. Sulking is also normal. But they are very happy to tolerate each other. The problem begins when rayyan is called illahi, dies in an accident suddenly. Nadira's blink has lost the cause of income. All the commitments that have a lot of dizziness are thought of by him.
❌ home debt
❌ car debt
❌ dining expenses
❌ children's school expenses
4. In Rayyan's sadness is not on the side, nadira as a wife lost everything the place that the husband has been prepared. Nadira Sat down & fell worshiping the earth. Too much sadness but responsibility with children is the strength for nadira to live. What to think, nadira determination wants to find a new job. Apparently, it's not easy to find a job like this, there's no work experience, age is almost to the 40 s.
5. Apparently Nadira didn't know all the husband's property and money was frozen when he passed away. The treasure needs to be melted. It takes a high cost & takes a long time. The beginning is a year if there is no property fight.
❌ Asb money is frozen
❌ money in the bank is frozen
❌ Frozen Haji money money
❌ frozen epf money
6. All the money is frozen when someone dies. EPF even though nominee is nadira, but not all belongs to nadira. Nadira's belongs to only 1/8
Rayyan's EPF money as much as layoffs 000.
Nadira will get:
1/8 x layoffs 000 = Rm8750 only.
7. Only takaful grants will get 100 % to the nominee & the process takes 2 weeks to a month only. Nadira suddenly remembered Nadira & her husband rayyan's conversation once upon a time.
👨🏻 💼: dear, my friends are sharing about takaful grants. Want to ask for permission dear to make it for love & children
🧕🏻: what are you doing, brother? You don't need to. We want to use our money like this again. Not enough later. If you want to go for a walk if you do that, we will lose some money.
👨🏻 💼: that's right, right dear. If that's it, it's okay to do it. We better keep it ourselves, right?
🧕🏻: aah it's better to keep it yourself brother
8. Turns out when the unwanted incident happens nadira is looking for the savings that are said to keep it yourself. Apparently there is no reason after keeping it, they dig the tube. After keeping them dig the tube again. I realized I didn't realize that there was no savings. That's the habit of each husband and wife's spouse by not preparing the right financial and does not provide a grant to your beloved wife. If there is a grant, all commitments just now can be used by the grant money. Holding on while looking for a new job. If you want to say it's expensive, there are many choices now according to their respective capabilities.
9. Word of Allah swt in al-Baqarah: 240
And those of you who die and give a commandment for their husbands, to their husbands, they are not directed. If they go out, there is no sin on you in what they have done in themselves. And Allah is Almighty, wise
" and those who (almost) die between you and leave their wives, should be made for their wives (eating, wear and residence) until a year long, with not being asked to move (from residence) until A year old. Then if they come out, there is no sin for you (the guardian or heirs of the dead) let them do good to themselves. The Almighty, the Almighty, the wise."
10. Here there may be a choice for those who are less capable but want to prepare instant money to the wife with takaful grants. By only saving rm28 a month, can provide instant assets of Rm50, 000.
11. What's better this promo is limited (there's a quota limit), who's doing it now in June. Got free for three months. June, July & August. Caruman starts in September.

美中「新」貿易戰
最終得利是亞太?
開啟「接收通知」和「搶先看」每天吸收雙語時事新知
來讀華爾街日報獨家
🔥 Meet the New Trade War. It’s Not the Same as the Old Trade War.
美中新貿易戰恐拉開序幕,劇情料有所不同
🤔 The president on Wednesday said that he was “watching closely” to see if China was living up to trade-deal commitments to purchase large quantities of American goods, and could know one way or another within weeks.
川普於上周三表示,他正在「密切關注」中國是否有履行貿易協議,購買大量的美國商品,且無論如何會在數周內知曉實際情況。
- watch closely 密切關注
✍️ watch也常表示「監視;注意」的意思,watch closely就是常見的相關表達,可別誤以為是「很近的看」囉
- live up to 無愧於、實踐,這邊指的是中國「確實履行」當初的貿易承諾
- one way or another 以某種方式/無論如何,無論怎樣
✏️That was followed Thursday by Chinese trade data showing a surge of exports in April and falling imports. In yuan terms, imports from the U.S. were down 3% in the first four months of the year compared with the same period last year, according to China’s customs administration, not exactly what President Trump wants to see.
隨後,中國在上周四公布的貿易數據中顯示,4月出口大幅增長,進口則下降。中國海關總署的數據顯示,以人民幣計算,今年頭四個月從美國的進口較上年同期下降3%,而這並非川普所樂見的。
- surge 遽增,急遽上升
- yuan 元(中國標準貨幣單位)
✍️另外一個常見的是日圓:Japanese yen
- customs 海關
✍️ custom 是風俗、習慣之意,當「海關」時注意要加”s”喔
😯The stage seems set for a renewed flare-up in trade tensions. But the drama could play out differently this time. The trade war of 2018 and 2019 did damage China, but not enough to elicit meaningful changes to its mercantilist industrial policy.
美中貿易的緊張局勢似乎將再度升溫,但這一次,劇情可能有所不同。2018年和2019年的貿易戰確實對中國造成了衝擊,但還不足以促使該國對其重商主義的產業政策做出有意義的變革。
- flare-up (暴力、疼痛或憤怒)爆發,突發,加劇
- elicit 引出,探出,誘出(尤指資訊或反應)
- mercantilist 重商主義
未完待續...
其實這場美中貿易戰
將讓亞太其他國家得利?

Training and Nutrition Around The Menstrual Cycle with Ben Siong
A really informative chat with fitness and health expert Ben Siong. For all my sisters, who have always questioned bout why they have irregular periods, why they bloat, why they have painful periods, what's the possible cause for bleeding more than two weeks here's a video that will help explain those questions!
The human body is very complicated and my dear sisters, ours is even more complicated cause we have a thing called the period. Ben is one of the few coaches who takes the time to not only understand the physiology of the body but also the mind which is incredibly crucial. I do hope you take away valueable information from this video, because Ben's had shared a lot of his expertise during this 1 hour. :)
Questions Timestamps:
1:50 We hear a lot from old folks that women shouldn’t lift lower body higher than stomach for optimal reproductive system. Truth or myth?
8:25 Should we train during period?
10:15 Pre period - what to eat to avoid bloating (if ur vegan or vegetarian) so u still have the energy to lift weights?
15:16 What exercises to do pre period so that during menses it’s less painful?
16:55 Why do some cycles end quicker for instance as quick as 4 days? Should she consult the gynae?
21:00 My Personal encounter of bleeding 4 months straight, what would have been the response for excessive bleeding?
24:00 Brief chat on understanding PCOS and PCO
29:27 In a paper "Preliminary Evidence for a Window of Increased Vulnerability to Sustain a Concussion in Females: A Brief Report" the author states that declining or low levels of estrogen and progesterone (specifically in the late luteal phase and first two days of menstruation) can reduce neuroprotection and blunt recovery time from traumatic brain injury symptoms (i.e. concussions). Would those decreased levels of hormones, and reduced neuroprotection also impact CNS recovery? And would female athletes have to then avoid highly taxing sessions/peaking periods during this time frame?
37:11 I've read that lower back pain during menstruation is caused by the uterus swelling which can create pressure on the uterosacral ligaments and lead to pain in the lower back and pelvis. Is this accurate? If so should females generally avoid deadlifts/front squats/lower back intensive exercises during this period? Should they be left out entirely, or replaced by something else?
38:21 Besides the supplementation of magnesium and iron, are there other ways we should change the way we eat around our cycles?
39:48 Personally, I do workout during this period of time & it does make me feel better.
However, I realised that if I perform very high intensity workout on the first two days of my period, I tend to have lesser flow for the month. I feel completely well & healthy but I’m not sure if that’s something I should be worried about
41:53: I have irregular period, in that case what type of training and nutrition I should opt for coach?
