Poor tortured boobies
De’Twin @ 8 weeks
Zhen (Twin 1) weights 5.5kg
Then (Twin 2) weights 5kg
I think I am the most stupid woman on earth, tak habis-habis torture my poor boobies.
2 weeks ago, I went to a gynae and was given Maxolon pills to increase my milk, and in fact, it did. Alas I only manage to experience mulitple let-downs for a week 
And then, I was so unlucky to suffer from nipple thrush 4 days ago until I could not nurse at all. It hurts soooo much until I can only express and feed (so much work and time consumed until I did not manage to sleep one whole night just express and feed the babies with bottles!!)
I might sound stubborn but the main reason why I die-die want to breastfeed exclusively is that ,
- it would save me so much time from cleaning so many bottles ( I don’t trust the maid anymore after I catch her a few times doing it wrong/unhygienic way)
- there is less fuss when feeding the boys (they scream when being shoved with bottle)
- Most important, I do not have to keep on getting up one whole night and sit there till dawn just to feed the twin by bottle one by one at night
Therefore we brought the babies to see Dr.Koe yesterday, thanks to my dear friend Audrey who accompany me the whole morning. The babies and me were given Daktarin (oral gel) to apply. She is kind to spend the whole morning guiding me the way to feed the twins. Again, I was given pills (this time domperidone) to increase my bm.
How to increase breastmilk
Well, I was advice to just sit there, feed and feed the babies until they latch off one whole day long without able to do anything. No more blogging at least for a few months, Dr said. Since they are already 2 months, I might have to tahan for another 4 months yeah….*time to only enjoy my babies at the moment, I guess

Aiyo..so small oredi got cheeky look leh. So cute! Worth all the pain you are going thru now.
Hang in there!
Ohh new thing to me regards the pills to increase bm. Last time I only try milkmake tea. Well all the best to you, hopefully your mission success.
Ok ChinNee…it’ll be a long struggle..but you can do it! Drink lots and lots of fluids. Keep water with you everywhere!!! After feeding, pump also. 6 months is definitely good enough. By then, it should be less feeds already.
Keep it up!!! You can do it!! Blog whenever u are too free!! HEHEH…don’t worry! Just don’t forget to take pictures!!!
Good luck to you in your journey which will be really tough at the beggining but smooth and easy in the long run.
i didn’t know that pills do help in increasing BM. Good info to share… guess i can try it when having lack of BM.
its a good excuse for u to stay away from the pc for a while…. all the best in ur breastfeeding but dun b too stress on ur self
The babies look so chubby ler…worth the effort lor….
can try fenugreek tablets…its another recommended herb by the le leche league consultants…max 6 capsule/day…i took one/day and was blessed with milk enough for baby spa, good 9 months…get those from GNC not loose fenugreek(loose dont work unless taken in large a

Got pills to increase breastmilk?? Wowww…never knew that. So, do they work? Hang on there…you are doing a great job!
Good job mummy, I know it’s a struggle but hang in there la… another 4 months will pass very quickly, just enjoy your time with them. Me now headache who’s gonna take care of Jolie when I return to work… headache nia…
Going to miss you … and your babies… they are sooo cute! I know it’s hard to go through this breastfeeding period at the beginning (especially the unbearable pain from nipple thrush), but it will definitely get better

Ganbatte mummy!~
Really salute ur perseverance. All the best to u! Yes, enjoy de’ moment.
Your babies are sooooo adorably cute.
I had problems with my bm too when I had my 2nd child.
Enjoy it, I love breastfeeding too.
all the best supermommy
take care
They have grown so big and even more adorable now!
ah, so there are pills to increase breastmilk? i didn’t know that. I have to mention this to some of my friends.
aiyer…. comel-nya!
Can’t wait to go KL and cuddle them! And also cubit their chubby cheeks!
hi, your twins are so chubby!!!
aiyo….really so torture ah mummy, hope things will get better for u…..dun push yrself too hard!
btw, twin2 is catching up in weight edi heh….. good thing!!
If I have twins, I will also be a ’stupid’ mom to keep on torturing the babies. They are so cute la. They definitely have grown a lot. Can see their baby’s fat now.
they are so cute, but sure their mummy looks tired..breastfeeding…
they looks tougher in photo…
last time when i BF, i drink a lot of warm water before and in between, also massage the breast while feeding
the boys are so sweet
and so buddy buddy too! they seemed to be gaining weight very well… you take care ya…
oo looks like u’re feeding them good leh.. they look so different from the last pic..
I have to give you a big round of applause to your determination on
breastfeeding. I really cannot do that. I’m sure you will enjoy more
when your boys grow a little bigger. Is always nice to take care of
of them on your own. I took care of both my child on my own and
therefore I can remember every single thing that happen.
Hi i’m cheeyee here. a new reader to ur blog. it started when i was simply click at a link at my colleague’s blog during my confinement month and what make me keep on reading is coz my son and ur twin are born on the same day, at the same hospital!
I’m bf my son too, fully. This boy is eating a lot more compared to his sister until I need to take domperidone too. It is quite effective. I try to stop taking it but since i started work and also fall sick last week, the supply went low again so I still cant stop yet.
I find that taking hard-boiled eggs can help increase the supply too. I used to take 2 eggs everyday. I have tried fenugreek tablet frm GNC, but not too effective on me. Now I’m taking the loose fenugreek which i find it’s more effective. Just put a big scoop to the soup when cooking or let it stand for a while in hot water and drink it as tea. It’s much cheaper than the tablet too.
Diff person has diff body type. Just try out which way work best for u and stick to it. I salute u to be able to bf both twins (I bf 1 bb only already make me feel stress of not having enough milk for him). It’s a tough and tiring job, but it worth all the effort.
got pills to increase bm?… i also never knew that! just know got pills to stop bm only.. hahha.
do take good care & all the best ya!!
Wow…that’s quite a lot of drugs to increase BM. Yeah, why not try the natural methods suggested?
Eat well (proteins), drink lots of fluids esp a hot drink before feeding and REST!
Blog laterlah…babies first
See how cute they are?
What’s a few months loss on a blog compared to happy, healthy babies and healthy Mummy??? A few USD vs milion-dollar smiles ler
At lesat you went to Dr Koe and did something about it. I’m too lazy for Brandon’s sake - talk about being stupid!! Today is the 1st day I didn’t need to pump cos dried up already. You hang on there ok!!
