It has been awhile since I last posted on breastfeeding! Hehe.

Yes, I am still breastfeeding AH, if you’re wondering but I have to admit that I have been scouting for formula and asking family and friends on the kind of formula they use. However, I cannot bring myself to start supplementing AH yet! LOL. Yes, the mummy is the challenge.

For a few days last week, AH seemed to show a preference for bottled EBM over direct feeding. Once it was in the middle of the night and he kept on pointing out and refusing to direct feed. Being used to just feeding him in bed without having to get out and make (or reheat) milk, I continued to try and feed him directly. Again, he refused and instead, pointed to my water bottle. He was really thirsty!! He had a little bit of water then.

This went on the next day as well, when he kept on pointing his bottle warmer for a feed instead of asking to be direct fed. Mummy was too lazy to reheat and just sort of forced him to direct feed.

I know that were probably signs that he was ready to be weaned off my Bs and start feeding from bottles full-time but we’re going on a 10 days trip soon with a relatively long flight (by long I mean more than his past 2-3 hours trips). I guess you know where I am getting at. Har har har. I would have to pump all the time and feed him from bottles or bring formula, if I was going to supplement. Right now, I much prefer direct feeding- it’s more convenient!

So yes, no weaning off yet. We will try again nanti okay, AH!

I am going to leave you with a picture of AH to wish you a good start to the weekend!

Har har har. No, social services & health advocates, I do not usually feed him chocolate excessively. This is him trying to finish my (already finished but not completely clean cup) B&J Choc Fudge Brownie Ice Cream!

Oh, to be young & without a care in the world! xx

Mum Bathes Baby in Breastmilk

…got this email from one of my girlfriends

Shan Shan being bathed in breast milk /Quirky China News

A Chinese new mother is producing so much breast milk that she baths her baby in the excess each day.

Mrs Luo, of Chongqing, says she is producing two litres of milk more than she needs to feed her six-week-old daughter Shan Shan.

Mother, husband and her mother-in-law had all been drinking the extra milk but she says they still have plenty left over.

Luo’s mother-in-law said they were all beginning to feel like they were drinking too much milk: “Then I suggested why not give the baby a breast milk bath, and they took my advice,” she said.

Luo said the milk bath makes her Shan Shan’s skin really smooth and white, reports the Chingqing Times.

But she is looking for someone to donate her extra breast milk to as she feels that bathing her baby in breast milk is too much of an indulgence.– Courtesy of Ananova.com

Erk. 2 litres extra when the bay was only 2 weeks? 100ml is approximately 4 oz. So 1l is about 10 bottles of 4 oz and 2l will be 20 bottles of 4 oz!! This is all EXTRA!!

We need to find out what she takes to produce so much extra! Hehehehehe.
