During the time i decided to wean off from BM, i was going through a mild depression.
Probably because BF / expressing every 4hourly becomes a normal routine for me i didnt know how to QUIT.
I know 1 year ain't that long compare to some mommys who feed as long as they can.
When i went back to work i was pumping 5 times a day to meet his requirements and i could easily pump 240ml each time. But as he is growing bigger and once the growth spurt happened, i realized my milk alone was not enough to meet his appetite. I resorted to giving him both milk powder and BM.
I gradually reducing the BM pumping to 4 / 3 / 2 times a day ... until i completely wean off.
Though i didnt do the 2 year BM thingy .. I was proud of myself for being able to tahan for 12mths ..
That's another pat on the back for me.
Mumm Mummm ~ Milk please |
