Breastfeeding, pt 3 – Weaning.
10 Oct 2011I didn’t expect to wean Nate. I had ideally planned to let him outgrow the need on his own naturally. If I wasn’t pregnant, I know I would still be breastfeeding. I started by reducing 1 feed at a time — he was still having 3 — when I was 6 weeks pregnant. It was [...]
This is our 13th month! For half of that time, Natey was fully breastfed before he started his solids at 6mo. For 6 months, he survived on nothing — except that few weeks of supplement *boo* — but his Mommy’s milk *beams* In the beginning 2 cells became one, he grew and fed within me [...]
Postnatal 11: Aunty finally Visits.
In: Postnatal
19 Oct 2010Sixteen months. The Aunty has been on sabbatical since last June. I was really looking forward to her prolong absence at least after Natey turns One. But She has decided to retire from her long holiday and resume her monthly duties as usual. How responsible! *sulks* What in the world am I talking about? If [...]

It is now 4 months after my confinement. It is the perfect time now to share since I had plenty of time to experience the aftermath. So this is my testimony — and maybe yours — that observing a little restriction for 1 month isn’t so much a jail sentence, especially when the after effect [...]

Asian Parenting Today.

24 Jul 2010This book was 1st introduced to me by the writer herself, Jennifer during my confinement. I called her for a postnatal home visit — RM150 for 1.5hrs — to help me with my breastfeeding dilemma, and she was an enlightenment. Natey has been fully breastfed ever since! Sadly, I didn’t really pay attention when she [...]
Postnatal 09: Hair Loss.
5 Jun 2010Friends had warned me about the 3 months marker. At the beginning your skin goes Sahara — mine turned waxy, no kidding! — then your hair begins to drop like nobody’s business. It’s goodbye to luscious hair days and hello to omfg-hair-all-over-the-floor horror! *shrieks* Hair Loss After Delivery The most common period of hair loss [...]
Postnatal 04: Breastmilk Storage Bottles.
In: Motherhood|Postnatal
13 Apr 2010I have been feeding the sink since I started breastfeeding Natey exclusively 3.5 weeks ago. I don’t keep any of my EBM now, whether after feeds or in between feeds. I don’t want to put Natey back on the bottle because that made him greedy and impatient. He bites — with his super hard gums [...]

Postnatal 03: Hot Mama.
8 Apr 2010Oh how I wished! If only I was referring to physically looking hot, Hot. And not physically sweaty yucky hot, Hot (-__-||) I’ve been complaining and whining that “I am Hot” way back in December. Back then, it made sense because I was growing my little man and he emitted heat through me. Then there [...]

I have never doubted that I would breastfeed Nathaniel exclusively. It is the most natural and loving thing to do for our baby. So I did not understand why some Mothers choose not to. But now I do… My breastfeeding journey did not begin easy. I suffered from piles during my pregnancy, and during delivery [...]
