As per Kathy’s and Litzie’s requests, Im writing more about my breastfeeding experience. Honestly, I’m a bit uncomfortable talking about something that I have failed to do. I’m exclusively pumping since Martha turned 7 months, and she is now only 90% breastfed (she takes one bottle of formula at night). But I guess, I can [...]

Post-Preggo State: Losing that Preggo Belly.
Got this from Baby Center:
You may be very surprised by the way your tummy looks after birth. Your baby is out, but there it is, right around the navel: a big, round, squishy puffball that makes you look like you’re still six months pregnant. Many women also have a dark line down their abdomen called [...]
AVENT problem fixed!
Tracback: AVENT Isis pump problem.
Thanks to the breastfeeding mommies over at N@W.
I went to the AVENT distributor at the address here:
LJS Logistic Facility

Manila
Tel: (02)713-6814/17
Open: Mon-fri 8:30am to 5:30pm
And I was able to get the valves for the electric pump. It turns out it can fit the manual pump and it [...]
AVENT broke.
My best friend is slowly conking out on me. The valve is loosening up and I kept screwing it back on just to pump. Nasasayang letdowns ko, nakaka-asar.
I hope this gets fixed soon, or I can have the part replaced soon. Sayang supply ko, medyo nag-eeffect na si Natalac, back to normal na uli!

• Mouth pain from teething, a cold sore, or an infection (such as thrush). – possible, she is teething around 4 teeth lately.
• In an older baby, the baby is afraid Mom will scream. This is common when your teething baby [...]
Chopsuey.
This is what this entry is going to be all about.
We are adjusting big time with Martha in the house. She sleeps like a chicken all day – having one hr of sleep time, then 2 hrs of wake time, repeat cycle. So basically, you are not going to get anything done. She sleeps soundly [...]
Breast Neglect.
The brat is now, all of a sudden, refusing to nurse from me, drats. She still drinks my milk but would prefer to do it from the bottle. It has been such a pain in the a** to get up in the middle of the night to prepare milk then after around 3 ozs, trick [...]
Pumping for 26 weeks – make that 23.
Meet the best investment Ive ever made.
Never ever in my wildest dreams did I ever consider having this as my best friend. I dont leave for work without it. (Kahit walang baon for lunch, basta dala ko to). This is the first thing I reach for when I wake up and the last thing I [...]
