Phewwww...

I finally have time to really sit down and update my blog. It has been so long and we have been having some really hectic weekends. And I'm hoping to really have time to sit down and enjoy a tea break with hubby. There were quite many things that I thought I wanted to share but unfortunately when I really wanted to pen it down, my mind just went blank. Since it's August, I should better start my post with the world breastfeeding week which starts every first week of August. To this date, at this moment, I'm still advocating breastfeeding and hoping to tell the world to normalize breastfeeding. Baby XY doesn't like bottle, my nanny comments that offering her bottle is a tough job but thank goodness she loves food, so nanny is not worried. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise for me. Since she is a small drinker, I do not have the stress to pump many times at the office to meet her demand. Since I went back to work after maternity leave. the most she took while I was away was 9oz. A few months ago, probably at 10mo, nanny started to give her porridge daily. Since then, her milk intake has reduced. Since last week, it has got really worse that she will only drink 2-3oz a day. My yield of 9oz daily is more than enough to meet her demand for a week, and the balance of 36oz will go into waste. This time, I have been throwing a lot of frozen milk because we do not have a freezer to keep it and the space in our fridge is really limited. As a results of too little milk intake at the nanny's place, baby XY has been taking a revenge on me whenever I pick her up. She will ask for milk there and then, either to deal with her hunger or to soothe her, it doesn't really matter. At that time, she will drink a lot and is only ready to let go when she has had enough. This cheeky baby is 11mo!!
