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

Yes..EmPoiNte..nicKit is right..it's not an easy road at first..but i can assure it will get easier in time.

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

it is very economical. I saved lots of $$$$...from what I gather from friends and colleagues who feed fm...1 week 1 can. minimum about RM60-RM90.

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...

hello, i didn't know got this place already. haha. usually i go to susuibu or babycenter for information, but this is cool. i'm also a mother of a wonderful little daughter, she'll be turning 2 this july. i'm still breastfeeding her, but not as frequent as before she turned 1. i'm thinking of stopping when she turns 2, but i'm worried that it wont be an easy task, because i guess i'm a little too dependent on bm to calm her,and i also nurse her to sleep every night,.

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

haha i just kept thinking, how the hell am i supposed to get her to sleep without bf? plus now she's developing a bad sleeping habit because of her parents, sleep late, wake up late. sometime she goes to sleep at 9pm, but then wakes up at 11 or 12am and refuses to go back to sleep until 3 or 4 or 5 in the morning, after that she will sleep like the dead until 12 noon.


oops... a little off topic there.

lunalovegood...my son is about the same age as your daughter..and it also looks like he won't be giving up his momma's boobies any time soon. I was planning to wean him off by 2. But the look of it..i don't think so. He looks for his 'nan nan' when he's bored and when he wants to sleep.

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...

haha same lah. plus it was easier to give her what she wants in the middle of the night, no need to get up or anything. so obviously it was the mommy who is dependent.

currently, we are living so far away from our relatives, so those pressure dont really affect us, thank god. though my mum never really the kind who inteferes, it was me who always seek advices from her. haha


btw, i hv a question, now that she has full milk teeth, does nursing at night going to affect her teeth, i know bottles will, but now sure about bf though.

hehehe..lunalovegood..yeah..i don't need to wake up if he wants milk. Last night..my son was so cute..he woke up for his dream feed..i'm sure he was blur as well..he kept on pulling down my comforter to my knees and looking for his 'nan nan'.

nicKit...just stay firm. I read somewhere in the star online about relatives who keeps on interfering..the only thing you can do is stay firm.

haha thats cute! my daughter also like that. there's one time, she suddenly woke up, and crawl to me and searched like a person who stuck in the desert without water.

hahahahah!! so cute! sometimes..i also don't feel like weaning off..

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...

to me...all of us have our own mind...and if we have to follow to what our in-laws have to say...then...we are called robots.

Times have changed..because we are more independent like you said. And no..you didn't fail as a DIL...if you failed..you would have just left your hubby..that's fail. You just the type that speak your mind and don't follow blindly because the elders told you so.

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...

Is it the dutch lady one? I tried but sometimes he drinks..sometimes don't. so ended up with dutch lady 123. No matter what..he still looks for his 'nan nan'.

nick,
ur hb judge u as a failed dil.
but isn't he himself a failed hb?...

sooner or later u will hv to, tell that to them, the time is decided by u and your baby. if u bf exceeding 2 years, it will be bad for your body too anyway. just tell them to be patient.
