Since my BFF the glam babes got Big A, ive been exposed to breast feeding, the challenges and the benefits that comes with it. So when i got pregnant, it is was a no brainer that i would also continue with the breastfeeding effort.
Alhamdulillah the mini man's journey with breastfeeding was quite positive, eventhough on the day he was born, it took us nearly half a day to get him to latch on and suckle properly..
He was exclusively breast fed for the 1st 6 months of his life, then once he hit 6 months, i introduced solids to complement his food intake. From a normal consumption of 12 oz/day when he was on purely milk the intake was reduced to about 8-10oz/day once he started solids. But somehow when he hit 8 months or so, he started refusing the bottle when he is at school. So now the minders had to give him milk using pippette.. and he only takes about 4 oz/day..
im so baffled as we have tried a lot of things but to no avail, change teats, change bottles, give in cup with spouts...
but one thing i noticed is that once we got home, he would be craving for nenen.. then melekat there ... and numerous times during the night, would come to me for drinks..
i guess he might be doing what ppl would call reverse cycling, ie drinking more at night, but with feeding directly, im not too sure wether he is drinking enought to cover his requirement.
and of course there are times,when he woke up for middle of the night feed, on a day where i was really tired, mummy dia tak terbangun pun.....sigh...
how aaaa....
