7 mths 2 weeks old..

This is such a long overdue post..Boy had since started on solids at 5 mths 2 weeks old (22nd Sept 2011)..It is such an exciting phase especially when a new food is introduced to him...Only a couple of days ago, we started him on porridge and oats..had tried to work out a schedule for him and so far, he had been quite happy with the amt of food and milk...Daryl is now only drinking 3 milk feeds/day..and i m still expressing every 3-4 hrly..so there is suddenly an abundance of milk in the fridge (which hardly happened) in my 7.5 mth old moo moo career..

Maybe this is really an indication that I can start to gradually end this very fulfulling but tiring career...Tiring is really an underestatement!! Especially when i had been exclusively expressing..but i can proudly say i really did my best when i look back at the times where i cried/fret/pumped till my arms ached to provide for my baobei...

Hope i can do better at latching for no. 2..

But, i am still battling with the idea of stopping now cos i feel its such a waste and i cannot help feel guilty about it.. Hmm..then again, my holiday in dec would be a good start lah..since i dont think i want to pump every 3 hrs!! I need a real break and holiday !!

Anyway, at 7 mths 2 weeks old, Daryl boy is learning how to sit up and is babbling all the time!!

His first taste of food - rice cereal
