BreastFeeding

Woo Hoo...

Total breastfeeding for the first 6 Months!!

* a pat on my shoulders*

Not forgetting, my menses came at when she's ard 4 months plus. Totally Unexpected!! That's definitely cut my supply into half or more. During that week, supply was simply so pathetic and i had to keep thawning my stored frozen milk to sustain her daily intake.

My Goal was to TOTAL breastfeeding for her until she's One... but it seems my supply is getting lesser and her demand is getting larger. She's drinking ard 160ml x 5 and I only have time to pump 3 times a day.

No way that my supply can meet her demand.

Sad to announce, I opened up the sample tin - Similac and let her have her first taste of Formulae Milk on Good Friday. Arrggghhh..... Utterly Sad...... Really disappointed in myself.... 

Frankly speaking, during Reia's time then... I was more 'hardworking'. I would wake up at the wee hours to pump and forgo my beauty sleep. But for Reina... my last pump would be ard 11 near 12am.... and i wld sleep thru the next morning and get up to pump ard 6 plus 7. Oh well, only have myself to blame for not being a hardworking mooing cow.

I will still keep on pumping.... will try to give her bm during weekdays and sustitude FM only on weekends.

Arrgghhh..... 

I'm sorry my baby...

*depressed*

Happy Wheezing 6 Month, Lit' R

So sad that she has to go thru this eating tonns of medicines instead of yummy cereal which she ought to start at this significant 6 Month mark! Cereal got to wait for now till she recover.

Went back to Dr Vanessa Tan last Fri, 8 April  (before we embarked to Port Dickson) and was diagnosed Bronchitis. Had a neb in the clinic and was precribed antibiotics. Sigh....

More medicines to force down her throat.

During our stay in Port Dickson, her fever came back (on & off). As we did not bring thermometer & paracetemol with us, I just kept sponging her whenever my bare hand told me it's hot.

On Wed, I decided to bring Reina to shadi's PD (Dr YY Yip, very well-known according to shadi's mommy) for 2nd opinion (all by myself). As Expected, bronchitis was diagnosed. He asked me something which made me sad cos I told him she went to infant care... Nobody can take care of her??? i shaked my head. Really nobody?? Then he said , no choice, she wld get this kind of episode every few weeks. Haiz... I knew this was coming.... Took another neb in the clinic and changed the whole suite of medicines.

Oh God, spare my lit' baby.

preferred to turn onto her right.

Putting her on the bed unattended has now officially become an hazard.

And sticking out her tongue blowing bubbles has becoming her favourite past time!
