1) In the midst of Weaning<\/u><\/strong>
\nShe started taking 1 bottle of formula each day. She’s no longer complaining. Happily takes it, even if I was the one offering compared to the previous months<\/a>.
\nNot sure when she’s going to be completely weaned off breast feeding, but it is definitely in progress (I guess it’s more of mummy not willing to stop than her).<\/p>\n

2) Bottle or Breast<\/u><\/strong>
\nShe has a choice now, especially during the days when I’m around.
\nWhen she asked for Milk Milk (she no longer said “HUH, HUH” like she used to), I would ask her, “Zara want breast or bottle?”
\nIn most cases, she’ll say, “Best” (breast), and points to my breast<\/p>\n

3) Frustrated<\/u><\/strong>
\nOne day I had a block duct on my left breast. Since I wanted her to help me clear the blockage, during her feed, I kept only offering that breast (for those who’s not familiar with breast feeding, normally you swap breast mid feed so the baby gets to have a fuller feed) which was my weaker breast (less milk).
\nShe sucked, then stopped. Looked at me, “milk milk!”.
\nThe duct didn’t clear yet, so I told her, “yeah, Zara suck suck then” and stuffed the breast back to her mouth.
\nShe sucked, then stopped and said “milk, milk!” again.
\nThe duct didn’t clear, so I guess she was getting very little milk.
\nShe did this one more time. Finally, she stopped and looked at me, “Bottle!”
\nShe was frustrated, all the sucking and no milk. Ha, she opted for the bottle instead!<\/p>\n

4) Habis (Malay: Finished)<\/u><\/strong>
\nI fed her a bottle of formula on Sunday. After taking half the bottle, she sat up, took the cap of the bottle, cap back the bottle and said, “habis!”
\nGuess where she picks up that word from.<\/p>\n

5) Excited over the breast<\/u><\/strong>
\nSince it’s CNY, we eat out a lot (some how some one would be buying dinner or it was our turn to buy). At about 10pm, Zara would want her milk fix.
\nShe would then suck her thumb, lay her head on my chest, and said, “milk milk”
\nIf I can’t find a place to feed her, she would then grope my breast, follow by a louder, “milk milk”.
\nIf I still don’t feed her, she would try to reach her hand into my blouse to get to my breast.
\nAll these in public.
\nMy solution, hand her to daddy. \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n
