EnPoiNte, continue pumping n coaxing bb to latch on... gambateh~! the road isn't always ez at first... remember got demand then got supply... drink lots of water n dun forget to eat

if u're wondering wat's inside the breast milk or wat's so great abt breast milk, check this -> What's in Breast Milk? : American Pregnancy Association

wow... 1 week 1 can? last time i feed just one feeding of fm for one day already cost me 1 mth 1 can but now u ask me to feed fm, i'll say no coz of that anmum ad only God knows wat else is inside...

lunalovegood, u're not alone... i'm oso kinda worried if i (or rather pressured by mil n hb) were to wean him of bf... everytime i think of the day he no longer bf, i feel a bit lost... mayb i'm the one who's too dependent

my boy went for his mthly check up today n he only gained 300g for a mth... seems so little... he's 9kg... should i b worried that i'm not producing enuf "food" for him? but i'm happy that the nurse told me to continue bf in front of hb... muahahahaha

lunalovegood, phythia, aiyo u guys r way better than me... hb keep asking me when i stop nurse him to sleep n mil keep saying stop bf n should give him rice u guys really dun wanna b in my shoes...

phythia, ya will try to stay firm... but i guess times really have changed eh... last time dil will heed every command without fail... now le... we're more independent eh? but i feel like i failed as a dil... even hb said so...

phythia, lunalovegood, sooo cute... man, i really dun wanna start weaning...

phythia, *hugs hugs* huhuhu... at times i would really feel like leaving the house n stay at my parents' house wif bb... oh ya have u tried giving ur son this milk for kids... i forgot wat brand but it said milk for kids >1yo...

phythia, i think so...

ijnek, he told me a dil should prepare meals n take k of household while taking k of bb if we were to live in the past... now i only take k of bb n sweep n mop the floor... so i should consider as fortunate... this is where i fail... sigh... i just tahan lo... swallow everything... coz wat can i do? leave the house? can't b too impulsive rite? but everytime we'll end up in heated arguement... sigh...

qarezma, gimme 5~!

lunalovegood, i think i oso failed as a mum... bb have fallen abt 5 times to the floor under my care... i feel soooo sad... even hb scolded me for that... i cried so hard that bb cried together wif me...

qarezma, y u're stuck? complain complain~! mayb some traditional ones will expect DIL to take over MIL's job but MIL is still the head of household... something like that... like a joke suggest...

teacher : how old is ur dad?
boy : 8 yrs old
teacher : y?
boy : he became a dad when i was born

doraemon, i dun think u can give normal adults oats to babies coz they have this beta gluten... i dunno wat it is but i remember that babies shouldn't take this beta gluten... buy oats for baby or organic oats i think... mayb...

lunalovegood, sbux, phythia, ya my boy oso just cry a while then stop n smile back... even if i accidently cut his skin when trimming his nails... injection oso the same... i guess babies r actually stronger than i tot...

qarezma, kesian... 7pm... make face or noise la... like sigh sigh sigh... or keep looking at the clock do u keep arguing wif ur hb? then again, u guys dun live wif ur inlaws... it's always feel nice to have bb next to me btw u've got ur breast pump yet?

my boy still bf every 2-3 hrs... is it normal? i still need to wake up abt 4 times at nite from his sleep 8pm to 8am...

phythia, mayb once he's weaned, u'll b half awake thinking it's his dream feed whereas he's already weaned... or u dream of him feeding j/k

phythia, i think i'll probably do the same thing u do... one ear in one ear out... just like how my boy likes to suck his fingers now... i heard MIL commented "next time i'll put chili on ur finger n c if u still suck"... dunno if it'll really happen when we move back soon... sigh... i mean y force the kid? then again it's old vs modern... sigh...

phythia, my boy suck his finger(s) so hard u can hear the sucking sound... i told hb that mayb he n mil gently press/bite (i oso dunno) his fingers when he try to touch their faces, my boy learn from there then again, i read that bf babies suck often than bottle fed babies... i oso dunno y...

sbux, he din like the pacifier but i dunno abt it now... then again, mil said no pacifier... go figure la...

phythia, way to go little xander~! btw the car seat is now permanent in the car

i dunno if his sucking is associated to his i-put-everything-into-my-mouth-and-i-even-tasted-the-floor thingy... the only thing he (sorta) likes is his sassy frog teether...

multivitamins too mayb...

i was thinking... if i wanna wean off my boy to make way for a 2nd one, would it b unfair for him? i feel like kesian him... i'm not preggy now, just thinking got having another one... think only...

phythia, was thinking of "opening shop" when he reach 1yo... coz hb's bothering me to wean him off nite feeds... yeah i was thinking of nursing while preggy n tandem bf... but dunno if i have the strength, courage, support n energy for it
