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 [...]

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 [...]
