4 months of breastfeeding! I wonder how long can I commit to this awesome task!
It is an awesome commitment...
It is a joy!
-especially at night where you don't have to get up and make milk in a hurry, make sure it is the right temperature and right amount, feed her properly, burp her, then wash up the bottle!
- when baby just drink and look satisfied when full :)
- you don't have to worry about which brand is the best in the market cos nothing beats breast milk! Proud to be giving the best milk in the world!
- when baby knows how to latch properly and suck well directly. (I didn't bf Isaac directly, so the feeling is a bit different actually. But eventually, he still fed on bm till 6.5mths old)
It is a wonder!
- that God has provided everything good in one source of food! Formula milk doesn't have any antibodies and is a far duplication of mother's milk! BM already contained all the source of DHA, AA... whatever A lah!
- that the breast milk content changes over time to suit the baby's need! Incredible!
- Supply = Demand ! nothing to worry that it is not enough!
It is a commitment!
-especially when you are outside shopping... or getting a haircut... whatever it is you need to do outside, you have to think of how long it takes cos you need to get the milk out on time!

It is LOTS of savings!
ReplyDelete6 or 7 bottles a day x 30 days a month = a whole lot of money saved... :)
It is CONVENIENCE!
Travel is light & easy with no bottles / milk powder / thermos. No need to sterilise anything, no need to wash anything... Always available immediately (or almost immediately!) upon demand!!
Indeed, God's marvelous gift to Mom & baby.
Keep it going for as long as you can. You CAN do it!!
