the melodramatic mouse is now mellomom
I 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 [...]

20 May 2011We are finally at this stage of researching for the “right” formula milk. Although I am still breastfeeding 3-4x and expressing 1x a day, I know my supply is quickly depleting and I need to hurry up to introduce cow’s milk to Nate before he rejects the taste totally. The boy doesn’t like liquids other [...]
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 [...]
Little Bean Sterilizer & Baby Warmer NP: RM199.90, Sale Price: RM179.90 My Verdict: If you remember back in Oct 2009, when I prepared my 1st Nursery Checklist, I actually slashed this off after reading the thread in MsiaBrides.

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 [...]

17 May 2010True to its namesake I am being Carri(ed)well since Friday My Verdict: 2 words — God Sent! *breath with utter relief* Since wearing my new Carriwell bra last Thursday night, I did not have to deal with the painful ordeal of engorgement caused by blocked ducts. I still experience pain from the fullness, but certainly [...]
