Very sorry to hear that you are going to stop breast feeding to your baby. Will you try to use 奶泵 to pump milk? I think you are a great mother. I stop breast feeding since they were four months old because I finished my materinity leave.
Thank you for your prayer. In fact I feel so bad that I've to stop too. I'm thinking of giving her breast milk at nite time just before she goes to bed & another feeding in the morning. My biggest concern is that if I stop feeding her & she's not having any kind of formula, she won't have any milk at all!! I tried pumping for her but she's not willing to take the bottle or cup. I really don't know what to do?!
I sincerely thank you. Will keep on praying to God to lead us through. Nice meeting you here.

New baby coming - May 9, 2006! :-D
Neychu,
sad to hear that you baby keeps biting you.
but i am breastfeeding mom and christian too, but from my point of view, i would suggest you continously giveing her breastmilk, since she is just 9 months, do you remember WHO suggests moms giving babies breastmilk until 2 years?
could you try another method, if she bites you, you immediately push her head into your breast, making her unable to breathe , and she will immediately open her months for breathing, then she scared it and will not bite you, i heard it from lactation consultant.
My son has 4 teeths, he tried to bite me before, but i blamed him and stopped him immediately, he knows now, and never bite me again.
i think God has given you and your baby very good gift, which is your breastmilk, your supply is from him, breastmilk is the best for baby, i think you better pray to God and ask God to help your baby not to bite you again instead.
if you need support from lactation consultant, i can introduce you to Ms Lam from QE, she is very very nice and i think she can help you.
which city of Canada you are living? my brother
has immigrated to Edmontion since Feb this year,
and they will come back to HK for holiday next
week, if you are also living in Canada, maybe you
can make friends with them; They have left some
words on " canada's mummy", but they are busy that
do not have much time to talk with BK moms there,
their login name is 3R family.
By the way, are you still breastfeeding your baby?
try to pray with God and ask him to stop your baby bite
you, i read from the books of Dr.William Sears, he suggest babies wean by themselves, as too earlier to wean is not good for their own development. Since you are living in Canada, i believe you do not need to work, i admire you that you can 100% face with your baby and breastfeed her, so i still encourage you continously breastfeed
her, as no formular can replace breastmilk.
herebelow is the web site about biting mother,
hope this help.
We live in Vancouver. We've been here for over 10 years. In fact, I've been to that Canada Mummy's page but not too often. But of course, if we can make friends with them, that's great!
Yes, I'm still breast-feeding my little 10 1/2 month old baby girl. But only at night time. During the day, she'll have congee & soy formula. In between meal, I'll give her some water & fruit (preferable). Thanks for the web site. I'll check it out.
