it was a 2 day course, where during the first day, we have to make a short presentation for 2 minutes, and the 2nd day, we have to make a-10-minutes presentation.
my first assignment, i was totally blank. i didn’t have anything in mind [perhaps any good thing] to share with my 13 ‘classmates’ and the trainer. even if she (the trainer) didn’t stress on the content, but only the structure, but definitely i don’t want to make any ‘empty speech’. at least, it should be a something.
the idea came about 2 minutes before the session started (my turn was no. 8). i chose (it accidentally came to my mind) a topic of ‘Benefits of Being A Breastfeeding Working Mom’. and some points i spontaneously caught. it might sound silly but it just a taught to fill the session anyway…
The Benefits of Being A Breastfeeding Working Mom (presented by Mommy)

2. You can have frequent break during the busy office hour (as what men have their smoking breaks)
and
3. You can double the style.. by carrying 2 bags! (of course the pump bag!)
guess what.. i caught attention from my ‘classmates’, especially the guys. i knew that not many guys are exposed to breastfeeding, especially for working moms. and when i showed my pump bag off, some of them said “oh i think it is just a bag, but it has milk inside ha..”.

for the second presentation, i prepared PowerPoint Presentation Slides titled ‘How to Choose A Breastpump’. my turn was just after lunch. full of suspens cos people are at the hour of ‘sleepy and tiring’. i was afraid if nobody listened to my presentation, and it is enough to amke me feel down. but surprisingly, it caught attention, especially from the gentlemen. oh dear, i got a big applause and how sweet a dear Mr said “i really support this, i’m going to encourage my daughters to BF, and i’ll support if you make initiative to make a Mother’s Room at our office”.
so sweet. i wish i could do it again. come working moms, let’s BFing!

wow that is amazing! way to go sista!
this is soo inspiring..i wish i could as open as you are about breastfeeding.i find myself using “sign language” whenever i tell my female colleagues i’m going up to the surau to pump. plus i feel like other ppl look at me weird (pandang slack) as though i’m wasting time by pumping
hish..nape nak malu kan..i should be proud…
salam,
tahniah mami!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eh, pasal hafiy lum ada nampak gaya nak merangkak tu, cam awak ckp kt blog akak, tak pe, lain baby lain perkembangannya. bahkan anak2 akak pun tak sama antara satu sama lain. tp akak kagum hafiy dah boleh duduk tka tumbang! cumanya, dulu ada org cakap kat akak, baby jgn bagi duduk sendiri awal sangat, takut nanti dah besar duduk bongkok, cuba mami tanya doktor, betul tak pendapat begini?
wah tahniah… big clap.
Masa iv keja di HQ dulu, iv selalu excuse keluar dari meeting.term iv..’mother routine’ Ada sorang bos yang nak tau sgt tanya iv ..then bila iv cerita ..terus dia say’ wah.. i nak anak sorang lagi la… nat suruh my dear wife bf mcm you.’

salam kak lina!
u rock la kak lina! a working mommy who’s still kicking! wow. i never expected that would be ur topic. well done. u finally caught the attention. n see, u had proven that a long break is actually good for a mom to come back afresh n cool. and rock too! hoho
I heart breastfeeding!!
Yup bf helps me to reduce weight! makan byk cane pun, berat tak naik. coz all the food goes to the baby!
yeah, i think public places shud provide nursing room kan. senang.
Happy bf!
bagusnye!
a very brave topic indeed!
jgn risau la. mana ada orang boleh tido kalau dengar presentation about breast dan yang seumpama dengannya..
) betui dak?
hahahhaaha! excellent job lina. two thumbs up!
great job! whenever i need to do an impromptu presentation i’ll copy you ok!
Hey, good topic you chose there. I’ve always envied mummys who bf so easily. It was always a problem for me as i had one inverted “tool”.
Hey keep it up. Try to bf for as long as possible.
bravo..bravo!!!! bagus la lina..teruskan begitu..
actually memang patut diterang kan kaum2 lelaki…mereka yg ingin tahu akan membantu isteri2 mereka….dlm BF…
go girl!!
I chose that very topic for my final paper and presentation during my post grad diploma course.
Some frawn, some were sceptic but lot of others got the idea.
And I vividly remember an incident during our outing, we were in this restaurant and I was nursing Arief when a lady came and asked me to stop or continue nursing in a restroom (toilet la) I politely replied (though my blood was steaming up) “if you don’t mind having your lunch in a toilet I guess my son doesn’t either…”
I was like… orang breastfeed ditegur camtu sekali, yang minah2 seksi tunjuk2 breast ni takde plak orang kisah kan..
bravo mami…
kalo i…tak terpikir nak buat tajuk tu…
but lepas ni, mcm nak try pulak…
k fid,
trimas..trimas!!!
aida,
hehe. xsangke kan. even yg xkawen pon duk sibuk2 tanye. huhu.
sarah,
salam sarah… i kick everything yg ada kat depan. hoho..
mummyhanis,
that’s whay…suka! bole mamam byk2 w/o risau berat
k ana,
haha tol gak tu. sapa xcelik mata dgr perkataan B**** tu hihi.
mommylyssa,
haha. bole2. nk slides tu pon bole. huhu.
helena,
i heard some mommies still can bf despite the inverted precious that.
hopefully u also can K!
k rizza,
ya sungguh! mmg nmpk ramai yg cascade kat wife masing2
angah,
gosh apehal makcik tu? dia idup zaman ape tu? we nurse bkn tunjuk brest kt orang.
& sungguh agree. kalo ckp bab nursing in public, sometimes like a sensitive big issue to some ppl, tp yg pakai seksi belah2 tunjuk itu ini xde org kisah
mrs noba,
ahaks. i pon b4 present tu rasa “o my gosh aku ni xde idea lain ke” but now i feel soooo fantastic
bravo sitilina! tabik!! smoga hafiy terus dapat nikmat susu ibu sampai 2 thn.
