Postnatal 06: Nursing Bra, pt 1.
In: Motherhood|My Reviews
13 May 2010How many pairs of nursing bras does a nursing Mommy needs? Well if you are a shopping jinx like myself, you’ll probably have too many to go around BUT none of them fit. At least, not anymore. To date, I have collectively bought 12 pairs of nursing bras from Fabulous Mom: 2 Eunice, 4 Amber [...]
Postnatal 05: Engorgement & Blocked Milk Ducts.
In: It Sucks|Motherhood
9 May 2010In the beginning I was worried that I didn’t produce enough. So now my body is giving me what I wanted by overflowing the *ahem* Twins and at the same time punishing me for doubting its efficiency by blocking the passage way (-__-||) What is Engorgement? Engorgement is due to milk excessively filling the breast [...]

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 [...]

Postnatal Massage Therapy, pt 2 – My Review.
30 Mar 2010I began the course for my postnatal massage therapy on the 13th day after my delivery. The experience was rejuvenating and it wasn’t “smelly” as I thought it would be. Yati is the name of my masseuse. She has tiny hands like mine, but 10x stronger and they perform wonders on tired flabby stressed muscles [...]

Postnatal 01: Confinement, pt 1.
In: Motherhood|Postnatal
24 Mar 2010I have faithfully observed all — 90% at least — the confinement practices for a month. I have no idea what the other 10% are since even my Mother is at lost. We had to constantly call my Grand Aunty for directions *LOL* What is Postnatal Confinement? Traditional confinement practices stem from the belief that [...]

Baby Nathaniel is officially a month old today and fast growing into a handsome boy *thanksgiving* We didn’t throw a Fullmoon Party for our little boy. Instead as a simple celebration, my Mother helped prepare — at 5.30am [...]
Postnatal 00: My Birth Story.
In: Baby Natey|Father To Be|Little Benjac Junior|Mother To Be|Motherhood|Thanksgiving
19 Mar 2010It was it! My story began at approximately 4.07am on 23 February 2010. Being a 1st time Mommy, I was unsure and so I endured — almost turning this story and LBJ into a home delivery *gasps* I recorded all the contraction time in my mobile as an unsent SMS. It was too early in [...]
