bottle after bottle...

i am now switching this lil' bonbon nana from breastfeeding to bottle feeding,and man,its damn hard to get this girl of ours to latch her precious 'muncung' lips to that silicone tits..haissh!! im thinking of giving up,everyday,but something keep pushing me to get it done,once and for all.it aint easy let me tell u...

the last time with yaya,we had it quite smoothly,if not rough..only the downside was she's on ribena for two weeks before giving in to the formula milk,chocolate flavour only,iskkk,but we switched it to plain eventually...night time wasnt bad either,coz i have ben attending to her instead of myself...basically,we managed to wean her off less than 3 weeks,good eyy??

and here i am,four years later,doing the exact same thing over again,only to find that even if its ur own breed,coming from the same C-sect,no child is alike,unless its twin,i assume...boy,its a whirwind with nana...we're switching from one bottler after another,still she refused! we asked around for tips,tried various type of bottles,not to mention tits,but to no avail...she still refused!! :(

ben and i almost at the dead end,when we agreed to give it a last shot at this one brand,coz we clearly cant afford to have selections of unused bottles (not to mention adlan + adia's previous bottles,iskkk..) cramped inside the upper drawer,such a waste! its definitely irritate ben,more than i do... ;p anyway,im at the same pace with ben to let this particular bottle to be our last attemp..if its failed,we're doomed and im back to be the sole provider of my child's milk..iskk,what a let down...

but,to our surprised,she willingly latched on and i couldnt be more happier!! alhamdulillah,praised to God for the blessing He bestowed upon us,im utterly grateful...





the champ!! tommee tippee at last..and yes,ive to entice her with ribena once in a while juz to keep her drawned to the bottle...and gradually increasing the amount of the formula milk as we go along...good job,baby!! mommy so proud of u,and so as daddy ^_^...


our initial plan was to make used with what ever bottles that we have in storage ...and here's some to it...bought that tupperware's (green+purple) bottles for adlan,but he rejected it straight away,iskk..we switched him to nuby when we stayed at miri,for they has quite a selection over there...one can find nuby anywhere...but when adia's arrived,she turned it down!! in some way,we're quite relieved for its kinda hard to find nuby's range in malacca...so,we opt for something that is easy to find,so,its avent for adia...

anyway,back to nana's story...after she decline the above bottles,we tried her on one of these bottles - its a collections from the gift that our relatives and friends get for the babies,or shall i say,when they're baby...and no,our nana didnt buy it...once again,she refused...iskkk...





so,we came to a conclusion that maybe she wants a new bottle of her own...hence,the bottle hunting begin...first we tried on this glass bottle from babylife,from mothercare but failed...then,my good neighbour suggested us to try on MAM,and so we did...but she hates it...at this point,im ready to give up,it juz a matter of time...and when this one friend asked me to try tommee tippee,i promised ben that it will be the last coz im not doing this bottle hunting anymore...luckily she said yes to it,and we're over the moon!!



not to mention,we even tried a various sets of tits,but its a total flop as well,haishh...


all i can say for now,she's adapting to this new method of feeding...its ok,darling...baby steps ok,slowly but surely...and to my surprise,my boobs showing no signs of engorged-ment,what so ever,even after few days of neglect..hmmm,what that supposed to mean? is it my milk production has deteriorate since? im clueless...


till then...

wanie : anak2 ayin semua stop below 2yrs.lagipon anak2 ni mmg exclusively bf,tak campuq2langsung,so insyaAllah cukup setakat tu ;)...

mama pon mmg advised stop awal,esp once dorg dh into solid food...production of bm pon dh kurang,so stop je.kang kalo bagi jugak takot susah nak stop coz dorg dh cerdik,and takot dorang develop habit yg pelik2 coz dok bergayot jek,susu bukan byk pon...anyway,ikut orang la kot,some suke lama2 and some dont..ikut preference masing2 laa.. ;) i go for quality over quantity,hehe..
