She's too obsessed of wanting her daughter to poop often eventhough once every 5-7days for some young infants is perfectly normal. So worried until wanna go see paediatric surgeon.

Actually if a mother fully knows the nutrition content of breastmilk, one will do whatever it takes to keep on feeding it as long as one can.

@sbux
Every 3-4 days since she was born. Once went to 6 days. But when she poops, always megapoops She was 7.75kg at 5months. Thriving!

@nicKit
Busy a bit since I'm leaving my office in 2 weeks time Going solid in 3 weeks time. Ahhh.. I'm gonna miss baby fully depending on me for nutrients

WAHM - and going back to study something that has nothing to do with my job but has a lot to do with my real passion

It's gonna be an awesome year

I'm always here to attend post reports and stuff but no time to read and reply la. I'll be around a lot more often in 2 weeks' time


Congratulations. Sorry if I sounded harsh


Actually in my personal opinion better to train baby to balance out between bottle and nipple. There is this one kid in my daughter's nursery who doesnt want bottle at all after taking 1 week break from nursery - so the mother has to drop by every 4 hours to breastfeed

Because I cant work with a startup/small comp with crazy paced schedules eventhough the money is good. These few months I already took a lot of leaves to take care of my daughter when she wasnt allowed to go to nursery - red eye, fever etc So I decided that it's in our best interest to part ways eventhough I love what I do in the company.

Since I cant just sit down at home, I'll be going to classes to keep my mind sharp and to change my career in near future

I'll be doing website maintenance / creation. Specializing in e-commerce sites, help the small SMEs maintain their fb pages etc. I'll be earning less than 25% the salary I'm earning now but I know we'll be fine

Thanks. Thats why I need to be self-employed lor. I'm quite thankful that we dont really have big expenses because we live frugally - our house installment is RM514 a month and our car is a 20 year old Saga So not much money pressure

Congratulations bb! Careful cause my daughter roll roll roll and fell off the bed once

I'll be studying..... (clue underneath my avatar)


Thanks

nicKit,
Your MIL and hubby is lucky that you're patient. I'd start a world war if my mom / MIL did that to my kid

Here's a lil update on my side :

My baby will turn 6 months old this coming Monday. If I die today she'll have enough milk in freezer to survive solely on ebm till then, so I'm very very happy.

Not to be disrespectful but there's a good reason why he's still staying with his momma

YES YES!!

OK to be frank I didnt buy anything for her yet. Am thinking avocado

Mind sharing why you have to stop BF?

I dont know which one is more painful.

The first few days of breastfeeding.

Or baby teething - and using the nipple as chew toy

YES! I was back to pre-preggers weight after a mere 2 weeks

I think you're doing a great job in spreading awareness

I'm done with feeding baby solely on breastmilk. Had finally introduced pureed sweet potato + ebm to baby. To date she ate chicken, fish, mashed potato (from Popeye's ) and her poop smelled awful

Hubby's office. Wish it's mine

Kit, how could you left me from the list

I've been busy with my pre-med classes. So I usually only drop by to do mod duties and clean posts . Yeah since Sept 2010 and still going strong.

Moo

I'm curious.. do any of you ladies bf in the open without your nursing shawl?

E.g during bowling or in klcc park? (personal experience... )

Hey guys,

I have an interesting dilemma. Dear daughter is turning one soon and she's getting more attached everyday. Now she nurses to sleep for an hour, sometimes till I get really sore. Now, I don't have any intention of weaning her but sometimes I get frustrated and dehydrated.

Probably because puasa month, I haven't been drinking enough so she couldn't get the amount of milk needed? On daily basis I only manage to pump 10oz - 12oz a day, previously I could pump almost double that.

Aih.

@qarezma, hows your calcium intake?

bm contains a lot of cholesterol and fat that're important for baby's brain development.

prolly switch to fresh milk instead for a week?

i've had success with it

nic, which milk did u drink? HL?
