As I was putting my son to sleep (I breastfeed him till he go asleep), he couldn't get his sleeping position right. He kept on crying after a few suckles and kept on signaling to change breasts. We did that a lot of times and he got so frustrated because I felt he wasn't getting any milk.

I know this is going to happen. I know one day he will not need anything from me directly and I'm getting really anxious about it. I enjoy breastfeeding him, this serves as our precious bonding moment. I'm afraid to lose that connection, that need for each other.
On the other hand I feel quite happy because we're about to have another milestone. New routines, changes, transition and a clear sign that my little man's growing up.
*Oh, he tried a few sips of milk! Before, you couldn't get any white drink to his mouth. Nice start.
*I don't want to give him nipple bottles as he learned to drink directly from his cup. But how will I put him to sleep? Should I still breastfeed him? Or only at night?
Share me your thoughts,

My daughter just turned 7 months and I've read that she should eat more iron-fortified meals. I'm afraid I might be too late.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a hard time weaning Packo?
Yes. Packo is a picky eater, he only ate mango and carrots when he was your baby's age.
ReplyDeleteTry putting malunggay or liver to her porridge. And belated happy 7th Geo!!
