Weaning Starts Now!
A few months ago, I was very sure that I wouldn’t start weaning Daphne anytime soon. But now, there are a few reasons why I should start weaning my baby! First is she’s beginning to feel so attached to my breasts! When she wants ma-mam, she points and pulls up my shirt. At night, sheContinue reading “Weaning Starts Now!”
Wean or Not?
My baby Daphne is now 1 year and 1 months. Should I start weaning her or not? A lot has changed. My milk supply is starting to decrease. My breasts don’t get full if i don’t let it out for a whole day! Compared to feeling so full by lunchtime before! I only pump onceContinue reading “Wean or Not?”

I just can’t stop babbling about breastfeeding, my experiences and the mistakes I committed because I wasn’t well informed. I don’t want her to commitContinue reading “Breastfeeding Advocate”
My Breastfeeding Story
When I was still pregnant with Daphne, I never really thought about breastfeeding that much, though it was talked about, and my mother in law kept on retelling how she breastfed my husband until he was about 3 or 4 years old. Talk about pressuring me!I thought it was going to be a walk inContinue reading “My Breastfeeding Story”
