• ever since i suspended breastfeeding during the time i had my abdominal pains, i've had difficulties in getting baby to feed from my breasts. i do not know how he learned so quickly to reject my breasts for feeds. he only wants the bottles during feed times and my breasts for comfort suckling. sigh..........so now i express out my milk for him to put into the bottles for feeds. i guess since he takes his food so seriously he couldn't be bothered to work at my breasts to get the milk out. so lazy.......
• i've since learnt that a full-time mothering job is a real test in patience AND endurance!! for those who know me well, i am seriously lacking in both departments. so ahem.......it's been a struggle BUT it's getting better.
• i've also learnt that you can never plan or learn everything in relation to what you would and would not do in raising your baby. everything i ever read about raising baby has flown out the door! sometimes you just have to wing it and follow your instincts.
• i'm now living on baby's time. he rules my world now. we never get to wherever we want to go on time anymore (which is so different for me).
