Starting solids

Kaitlin started solids when she was close to 6 mths milestone. Up till now, she has been eating solids for 2 months plus. It was fun , tiring and frustrating to explore her with various food. So far, most of the food puree were prepare by me. Mostly were veg n fruit purees. At times, I'm just running out of ideas on what to feed her. Hahaha.. Right now, she is a fruit lover. Prefer fruits than main course. When feeding her like porridge or veg, she sometime will eats till her head rests on the tray or pull her head away from the food. At such moment, fruits are added to motivate her to continue eating.

She enjoys people to watch her eat, kind of show off ho, hee hee.

8 months, 8 kg

Nice number, 88... She starts to crawl now, hahaha. Like to chase iPad2, funny gal! Seems dun like to crawl, wailing while crawling, still wan to crawl... Hahahaha.. Keep it up, baby !

Stop pumping :(

My milk supply has dropped drastically and everyday the amount that I managed to pump is less than 40ml .  Pathetic, I know.

Therefore, since she turning to 8th month this week.  I'm going to keep my pump tools when she just reaches this milestone.  I decided to stop as she already taking more solids and the amount of milk intake has drop.  Although somehow, I couldn't bear to give up pumping breastmilk and let it go easily.  Breastfeeding is a process that I had putting so much effort, with many sleepless nights.   I took it to heart that this milk given to her was so divine and precious.  I treasure the moments when she and I need to practice on latching.  When she could latched properly and fall safely in my arms and body, the bonding I have with her was truly heartwarming.  It was a short period, I'm thankful to been thru this wonderful and amazing experience.
