Lactation Boosting Cookies Part 1

While blog hopping I found this:

http://blog.secretmothersclub.com/tag/lactation-cookies/

So I will just copy and paste it here.....

So here it is, the recipe for Lactation Boosting Cookies:

* 1 cup butter or marg
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 4 tablespoons water
* 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal*
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them
* 1 cup or more chocolate chips
* 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast* (be generous)

Directions:
Preheat oven at 375 degrees F. Mix together 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal and water, set aside for 3-5 minutes. Cream (beat well) margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir flaxseed mixture and add with vanilla to the margarine mix. Beat until blended. Sift together dry ingredients, except oats and chips. Add to margarine mixture. Stir in oats then chips. Scoop or drop onto baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment or silpat. The dough is a little crumbly, so it helps to use a scoop.
Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies.
Serves: 6 dozen cookies
Preparation time: 15 minutes
*can be found at any local health food store.

*NOTE* IT MUST BE BREWERS YEAST, NO SUBSTITUTIONS.
It makes a hell of a lot of cookies, so freeze the dough to use later!

Wait for my outcome soon in  Lactation Boosting Cookies part 2

Hannan’s thinking

Yesterday while picking up Hannan from her school we had a few chat. Was kinda long. Then I decided to go to Carrefour which is near to our house. I was telling her that I was about to call her grandpa (my dad of course!)

Me : I am thinking of calling Tuk Ayah. You know, he is my dad. Exactly like Baba is your Dad

Hannan : OoOOo… {with a smile on her face}

Me : My father is a very good man. He never angry at me last time because I am a good girl

Hannan : Ye ke..  {like doubting what I said}

Me : Yeah lah, he is not like your Baba, he is angry at you if you dont behave, right?..  He even pinch if you are too naughty. I think your Baba is not good, he is bad. Isn’t it?  (Provocative Mom is trying to see inside her girl’s head)

Hannan : {Kinda quiet while thinking…. }….

Me : Betul tak?… Betul kan…

Hannan : No.., I think you are bad too, because sometimes if I am naughty, you scolded me and pinch me.

HA HA HA,… padan muka cantik mommy!  Kwang Kwang Kwang

Me : No Hannan, actually both of us loves you,.. that is why we scold you if you do wrong things, so Hannan can be a very good girl, clever.. blah blah blah....  If you behave, we would never scold you, right?.. If momy tell you to stop fighting with your sister, you should, right?... 

Hannan : OK

Dalam hati : I should not ask at the first place! 

A Little Death In Dixie 

Lost my medela mini-e

I feel sad and blue. Why?..  Lost my beloved medela in office. :((  and now my sick mind is calculating $$ to buy a new electric pump. Sick. Seriously I hate this,.. I just hope that it is still somewhere waiting for me. I tried looking at home, but no no no... it is not there!

@-@ Looking at everywhere now :P

Hola!~ What do I blog about myself?

Hello readers!

This is actually my 1st post to this blog, but I will be importing so many posts from my other blog to go here. Mostly I wanna share reasons why I am creating a public blog. The reason is... I wanna share my thoughts, my experience about raising kids, cooking, skincare, make up, shopping, books (those are my favorite things!)  :P

Ok, just bear with me and my scattered mind ok. Since this is soo called my 1st post, just lemme talk nonstop like I wish. ehehehehe

Review : Philips Avent ISIS Manual

Product Dimensions: 7.7 x 3 x 9 inches ; 2 pounds

Shipping Weight: 14.4 ounces

 
This pump actually came to me as a saviour when I need a partner for my Medela Mini E. Single pumping took me around 20 mins for each pumping session, so I decided to get another pump to cut half of the time used with my Medela Mini E. N I tell you, it works!  and I would recommend this for mothers with larger nipples compared to Medela standard breast shield which is smaller. I noticed that this pump really emptied my *b and I managed to get 6-10 oz for every 4 hours pumping session. So, if you want to pump while traveling or just to relieve engorgement, this is definitely the pump for you!

Review:

Pros
- Soft massage cushion 'petals' helps to stimulate a natural let-down reflex (really emptied my *b) and COMFY   :=))
- Easy to Assemble and Use
- Able to control suction (depending on how you squeeze the handle)
- Portable and light
- Very quiet
- Hooks right up to Avent bottles
- Recommended to use while nursing and pumping at the same time. I loveee… especially when husband drive I can pump and nurse my baby hfy.

Cons
- Taking more time than the electric pump as this is a single pump
- Hands can be tired due to pumping ( I hate this!)
- Might not be suitable for mothers with extra size breast (larger nipples).
