Time flies so fast especially when you’re having fun! Raising this little angel has its challenges. Until now, I still don’t get a good night’s sleep as he is still breastfeeding. But by the looks of it, after 11 months, this little boy is getting all the benefits he can from drinking breastmilk. One healthy, happy kid is he! It’s been one amazing ride with you, Little Mao… and in the coming years, I’m sure we’re going to have a blast! Don’t grow up to fast… But even if you do, you’ll always be my little baby boinky. ;)

To breastfeed or not to breastfeed?
That is the question.
However in my case, I have no reason not to breastfeed. Thank God for the abundance of breastmilk. (Magamit jud diay ang boobs!) I learned that I can lose weight with breastfeeding as the act helps burn 500 - 1,500 calories per day. Not only that, but there is a lot of truth behind the famous line, "BREASTFEEDING IS STILL BEST OF BABIES UP TO 2 YEARS."
There are so many BENEFITS of breastfeeding that I’m afraid I’ll run out of space just by talking about them. Breastfeeding was meant for a purpose and I’m just happy that I’m able to take advantage of it.
But it’s not as easy as it looks. And OMFG, at first, I thought I was going to die. Man, it hurt so bad that I swear nothing has hurt me as much as breastfeeding for the first few times.
Ever get the feeling when your nipples are being pinched as in the movies? Not that I had mine pinched or what… but you get the idea coz my nipples even bled!!! Ack! X_X Mikko looked like a vampire sucking out bloody milk from me. Que horror!
But as always, the support of friends and family is awesome so I got lots of tips/tricks and great advice from everyone.
Caren even sent me some nursing pads as well as an Avent Nipple Guard to help me get started. So sweet of her. :)
Additionally, I purchased some nipple creams for soothing.
As of today, I’m pretty much used to breastfeeding that I look forward to Mikko’s incessant crying calling me to feed him! LOL… From experience, it’s really a nice bonding time for mom and baby. I feel like I do want to protect my child and give him all the best that I can.
Even though Mikko Vincenzo aka Sir Poop-A-Lot is starting to become a stinker (yup, he farts and poops a lot but that’s characteristic of a breastfed baby daw…either that or he got the trait from me. Tee hee!), I just adore and love my baby boy. He’s everything to me. And I’m gonna make sure he’s gonna grow up to be just like his dad — you know, a reallygood great guy just like my Noodle Boy.
And really, you just can’t deny the similarity.
