8 Portraits of Annisa Pohan in the Early Days of Motherhood, Making Time to Breastfeed in Between Persit Activities - Still Able to Carry the Child While Bowing

Annisa Pohan and AHY's only daughter, Almira, is now a teenager. Annisa reminisces about the first days of being a mother.

At that time, she and AHY still lived in the official residence in Karawang. Amidst the busy Persit activities, Annisa made time to come home briefly to breastfeed Almira.

According to Annisa, Aira indeed drinks breast milk like a boy, very strong. No wonder little Almira is so chubby and full.

"October 2008, Almira's first Idul Fitri when she was only 2 months old. Almira was like a bundle because she had been breastfed like a boy, her mother didn't let go hahahaha," she wrote.

At that time, Annisa could still look beautiful in kebaya while carrying her child and bowing. Now, she admits that she would have back pain if she had to do that again.

During those years, AHY was studying for his Master's degree at the Harvard Kennedy School. Annisa had the opportunity to join him in America and go on vacation together. Niagara Falls is one of the places they visited.

"When there is a holiday for a few days, we squeezed in a road trip to show Aira a world wonder, Niagara Falls," Annisa Pohan continued.

The beginning of Annisa and AHY's marriage was not as beautiful as people thought. They lived in a small official residence, and were separated for a while because AHY was on duty in Lebanon.
