Apa bendanya LAM ni? Bukan lam, nun, wau tu ye adik2. LAM ialah, er, mengikut kata encik Wiki
For women who meet the criteria (listed below), LAM is 98% - 99.5% effective during the first six months postpartum.[1]
- Breastfeeding must be the infant’s only (or almost only) source of nutrition. Feeding formula, pumping instead of nursing[2], and feeding solids all reduce the effectiveness of LAM.
- The infant must breastfeed at least every four hours during the day and at least every six hours at night.
- The infant must be less than six months old.
- The mother must not have had a period after 56 days post-partum (when determining fertility, bleeding prior to 56 days post-partum can be ignored).
Makanya, lepas 6 bulan atau tamatnya tempoh LAM ini, harus lah amik langkah berjaga2 sekiranya ingin menjarakkan kelahiran. Karang, tau2 je tak period, tapi perut membesar lagi untuk kesekian kalinya.
Baru2 ni (baru pun, takde la baru sangat) aku ada terbaca kat paper, ibu2 menyusu eksklusif hanya "selamat" untuk tempoh 4 bulan pertama sahaja. Vavava.
Lepas tu terus kena berjaga-jaga. Polis sentri, one two jaga. (tetiba). No longer 6 months meh?
Perhaps thats why masa aku breastfeedkan Zeri dulu, mmg ngam2 4 bulan dah start angkat bendera.. hua hua hua.. tak hal dia kuat menyusu pe.. dengan Arissa ni, tak tau la camne.. tapi macam dah nampak je bunga2 cinta nak start ovulation. We'll see la in few weeks time.
