Breast feeding, One of the best feeling

The ultimate benefit of breastfeeding remains unquestionable, my son is one of it's byproduct, being sick only once a year is just a proof that his immune system reaps a lot on this miracle milk and this was the primary factor why we decided to do this once again, but this time it will be a year+.

The feeling of security to provide the needs of your little one in a snap is just one of the benefits of a breastfeeder. before I gave birth to my daughter, my husband and I already agreed on this, living overseas by ourselves without any help, we really saved tons of time and energy doing this instead of scooping formula, washing baby bottles, waiting for it to be sterilized and so on... 

Everything works very well until my daughter turns 1, we decided to get her off the boob as advised by  her pediatrician to let her gain some more weight and also, i'm planning to start working some time this year.

We tried almost every bottle in the market but none of them works. :( Every weekend, i tried not to nurse, usually i will leave the room during feeding times expecting that she will grab the bottle out of hungriness... but na-ah, she was so competent on what she was fighting for... the boob, and so we gave up.

Keira's last sip of breast milk.

Two months after, we went to the Philippines, my mother was so persuasive and supportive on  weaning my daughter so i let her handle it, she ask me not to show myself to my daughter... it was a heartbreaking process, i can only hug and kiss her while she's asleep but it didn't take that long, after two days, my baby girl was officially off-the-breast, drinking her milk on a cup! she totally skipped the bottle stage. Mamu (my mom) did an amazing job on this!

I got off the plane, back to singapore with a pair of painful, huge and hard boobies... and with a sentiment of my baby was already grown up, I will certainly miss breastfeeding... (one of) the best feeling (as a mother).
