I have achieved my breastfeeding goals
Mamas, we are now on the last pack of milk.
I have achieved my breastfeeding goals.
PC took only breastmilk for 16 months (1 year 4 months) of his life. He is turning 18 months this week and still breastfeeds once in a while.
I really struggled with breastfeeding my first child. She refused at 6m and pumping for her till she was 1 was just a hussle.
With PC, if you have followed me for a while, you know I used to pump twice a day. I went from 200ml a day to 1,200ml with no cookies or special diet or drinks or uji. Just consistency.
One of the things that helped me a lot was a Haakaa pump. Swipe to see how it works. It was the easiest free milk to get. I’d place it on the opposite breast to catch the let down and I’d get anything from 10ml to 70ml depending on the time and also some days were betters. I’d use it every feed so maybe 8 to 10 times a day and get 200 to 300ml. Hussle free!
To think I knew about the Haakaa with Muthoni but never used it makes me sad. You can get it from @theelephantinabox They actually have it really cheap. I bought mine at 2400 on Amazon and I had to ship it. they have it at 2,700 in Kenya. It really is a worthy buy!

I got my period when I was on holiday
When I was younger I would always calculate my holiday around the time when i had no period. For me, periods were a bit of an inconvenience if I was on holiday. Fast forward, 10+ years later I’m on holiday and I’m praying for my period to come.
You see, I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) in 2016. In all the 4 years that I’ve known I’ve had PCOS, I’ve never struggled with a late period. I’ve always had regular periods that came every 28-32 days.
That all changed a couple of months ago when my period came after 35 days and then the next cycle 40 days then the next 45 days.
For somebody who was struggling to conceive that was just a killer.
After 2 (45 day) cycles, I decided to stop the medication that the gynae had given me and try seed cycling(google that) and it seemed to work for me even though I did not do it religiously.
Because I then got my period back to a regular cycle of 32 days. So seeing my period during my holiday time in Mombasa after a 32 day cycle I could not have been more excited. I just hope that in the coming months I will have a regular period.
Have you heard of PCOS?
Do you have PCOS or irregular periods?
