Mas Duda Looking For Mom Milk
Getting Mom Milk
Three days have passed, which means that it has been three days anyway, Tama and family in mourning. The study to pray that Almarhumah Cellia is calm in nature is still held for the next seven days. At the residence of Mama Rina and Papa Budi is still under study until the seventh day later. That means, almost every day in these three days Cellia's biological parents also come to the residence of Mama Rina and held a study with the reading of Yasin's Letter to Almarhumah Cellia.
“It has been three days since Almarhumah Cellia left us, it means that it has been three days also Citra became Piatu, and Tama became Duda, and so on,” said the birth mother of Cellia who looked down on Tama and chanted a verse of the Quran for the late.
“True Bu Shinta .. it has been three days,” replied Mama Rina with a sigh.
“For ASIPnya Baby Citra is still getting breast MILK donors from relatives named Doctor Bisma and his Wife?” tanya Bu Shinta who is Cellia's late mother.
“Iya, still ... Ma'am Kanaya always sends her ASIP gradually to Cellia,” Mama Rina replied.
“I have a brother from the village, already a widow .. but can breastfeed. Can she be an ASI Mother for Citra?” haggling Bu Shinta to the iron.
Of course, if there is an ASI Mother, it will be much better. Because, honestly Mama Rina does not agree with the decision of Tama who will provide formula milk for newborns.
Giving formula to newborns can make digestive problems to trigger diarrhea in infants, inflammation of the ear up to 50%, pneumonia, and some other infections. This happens because formula milk can be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Infants are also at risk of allergic cow's milk and asthma as much as 40% - 50%.
Given the importance of ASI for newborn babies, then Mama Rina welcomed the offer of the besannya. Nevertheless, it is better to talk things over with Tama first because of how single parent baby Citra is Tama.
"It's best to talk to Tama first, Miss Shinta. If I agree with Mother ASI or ASI donors remain for Citra. Because, it is impossible to hang fully to Ms. Kanaya who also gives exclusive breast milk to her own son. While with the increase of the day, the need for breast MILK of a baby will also continue to increase," explained Mama Rina.
“Alright,” replied Ms. Shinta.
Once the study was completed, apparently Bu Shinta really conveyed his intention to Tama. Who knows, Tama could consider everything first. Listening to the family's advice and advice, Tama finally agrees to hire her distant brother-in-law from the village. The Tama family also provides a place to accommodate his brother and will maintain his diet so that the resulting ASI is of high quality.
“Alright .. he can come and stay here. As well as being a Citra babysitter when Tama starts working later,” Tama's decision this time.

A young widow in her thirties came to the Tama family home. This woman named Mina will be the Mother of Milk for Citra. Mina came to Jakarta after being widowed for three months, while her 3-year-old son was raised by his Grandpa and Grandmother in Gunung Kidul, one of the districts in Jogjakarta Special Region Province.
“Excuse me .. Bu Rina, this is my distant sister .. her name is Mina, she intends to be Mother Milk for Citra,” explained Bu Shinta to Mama Rina and Tama at that time.
“ASI is still out huh Mbak Mina?” mama asked Rina politely to the woman named Mina.
“Iya, still out, Mom ... despite weaning my son a year ago, but still out,” she replied with a smile and lowered her face.
Meanwhile, Tama simply chose silence. I don't want to get involved in this kind of conversation. What is certain is Citra getting ASI. That's just Tama's interest right now.
“In a month want what salary Mbak?” ask Mama Rina.
Yes, a working Mother Milk will get a wage. Although actually a mother or woman can voluntarily give breast milk for free. However, given that Mama Mina will be at once a babbysitter, then this time openly Mama Rina asked the salary that Mina wanted.
“UMR alone is okay, Ms. .. important, can send every month to my son who is in the village,” he said.
“Alright, I will give UMR according to the city of Jakarta, four million every month for Mbak Mina,” said Mama Rina now.
“A lot, Mom ... It is only breastfeeding and taking care of the Baby,” Mina replied innocently.
This happened because the Regional Minimum Wage in Gunung Kidul is not as much as in Jakarta. So, 4 million Rupiah money feels so much for Mina.
“It's okay Ms. Mina .. can for her children's education savings in the village,” said Mama Rina.
Hopefully this time, Mama Mina can feel at home and work as a Mother Milk and also as a babysitter for baby Citra. In this way, hopefully Baby C will meet his nutritional needs through ASI that he drinks, although not from his Mother.
