Ending of a “boh kam wan” journey
After delivery
Blamed it on my stupid c-sect delivery (failure to nurse my babies in the first 48 hours), I did not give up.
During confinement
Blamed it on my stupid “dry gene” (even my inner wear is totally dry despite taking much soup during confinement), I did not give up.
Consoled myself I have got 2 babies, that is why milk is not enough, but I still not giving up.
After confinement
Called up some lactation consultant and this twin mummy for help, but even with their tips, I just cannot produce milk. Damn “boh kam wan” liao.
Every time this super twin mummy tell me she could feed her twin boys exclusively and collect 8oz each pump. Make me lagi “boh kam wan” and cannot give up.
A gynae told me she could help me, gave me a week Maxolon pills, it improves. But still need formula in between. Ahem… Am doing better for that week.
After I went to see Dr Koe due to the thrush problem (another pain I have to endure until today), I was given Domperidone hormone pills to help increase bm again. Slowly milk increase.
So when the twin reaches 2 months
YIPEE…….my dream comes true. I am very proud that I am finally producing enough of human milk for my babies!
- Twin 1 has been exclusively on bm for more than 2 weeks (plus another story of refusing bottle) while
- Twin 2 (the hard to satisfy boy) is only taking formula only once or twice a day.
Since I can’t produce milk, I doubt if the fat will stay on in my body. Sei lor..surely needs some best fat burner after this!

Congratz…. good job. U have made it at last!
Dr Koe is the Paed that’s based in OUG who’s also a lactation specialist?
Luckily you boh-kum-buan… if you kum buan then your twins cannot benefit from the breastmilk already.
hi Chinnee, glad that you finally did it, keep up the good work!
Your bok-kam wan really works… may apply that to myself too.. haha! Thanks for this post!
