Vivian and 曉晴,
my bb 癮 is big as well. he can call for " nine nine" 4 times before sleep at night. because it is a bit tight if he sleeps with me, my hubsand in 4.1/2 width bed, so i put a baby mattress on my " 窗 台 “ , and let him sleep there. however, there is only 1" distance to me, Moses will cry and come to me if he wokes up at midnight, and immediately needs " nine nine", at mignight sometimes he will woke up and needs to hug me, stick to me, or sleep onto my body.. so funny.. i really enjoy it, and let him suck..
but sometimes he will not ask for nine nine at midnight, just until morning 6:30..
i still pump my milk twice in my office, he only needs 7 ozs if i am away, and two meals x rice... i just pump around 10 ozs every day for stock.
i really don't know when i have to stop pumping in my office, because i think , if he is 2 years, he still needs milk at home ?.. so ?-(
Dear all
Your problems also is my problem before, from last Fri (went to Shanghai for 4 days), I've started to quit the BF for heib.
From the 1st & 2nd days, she cried to ask for milk & me. But 3rd & 4th days, she didn't. But when I back to HK, she asked the milk again, but I didn't give her although she cried during the midnight (2 nights).
So I think should be OK for your babies to quit. Don't worry.
vow! he is very heavy! Moses now is 25lbs, but i feel
very tired if carrying him, the baby sling is very good
to lighten up the burden for me.
Adonis eats a lot!! Moses only eats 2 meals- lunch and
dinner at 6:00, sometimes he eats 1 bowl of ABC noodles, or " wu tung",
or soft rice.. so far i didn't give him any soup, because i am
afraid it is so oily,.. unless i take out the oil?
but why do you still give him 2 bottles of breastmilk?
what is his eating schedule, i already feel Moses eats too much, see
his eating schedule.
morning 7:00 or 7:30- directly feed.
9:00 - fruit( apple, or pear, or banana, kiwi, .)
11:00- frensh orange juice.
12:00- rice or abc noodles, or wu tung.( 2 kinds of veggi + 1 kind of meat)
3:00- tea time- one piece of bread, or some biscuits.
6:00- rice ( same as lunch).

These 2 midnights, heib also cried & asked for BF, I told her no more BF la... she of course cried la, btw, I told her how about touch my breast instead of suck, or I touch her back, finally she will sleep again & only drink the water.
I think : give her the midnight milk, that's not good for her teeth although breastmilk is not too sweety.
one bottle of breastmilk is actually enough for
1.1/2 year bb if you are in the office, as he
can have his rice, congee.
i think the problem is not one bottle or two,
is your eating schedule.
in the morning, why does your mother offer him
2 bowls of congee but it is 2 hours between,
so he should be enough in the morning time, however,
at the afternoon, he only has breastmilk to support
until 8:30, so i would suggest you re-adjust to :
noon time- offer congee or rice.
dinner time- move earlier like 6:30 or 7:00, offer rice.
then you only give him one bottle of milk in the morning,
if you do not pump, i strongly do not agree with offering
formular, since you still have milk, why do you offer formular?
if pumping 6 ozs or 7 ozs, i think it is not difficult, you
can pump at home when you feed or pump once at office.
At midnight, i don't want to push Moses to quit night feeding,
i prefer natural, so if you let him cry overnight, i feel it is
a bit cruel ! moses now seldom calls twice feeding at night, he
can always sleep until 6:00, if he wokes up & cannot sleep at once, i will
let him suck to make him sleep again.
for
she is super baby .. 29.1/2 lbs,,, vow! you should be very tired of taking care 2 kids. .. I forgot how old your elder daugther is.. 3 years? in k1? which kindergarten?
PC9- yes, i wish we can join together, but moses has to attend PG every Sat afternoon( now we move to Tseung Kwan O- new PG by native English teacher) at 4:00, so maybe we can gather in the morning time.. what do you think ?
by the way, i don't prefer Sunday, as i leave it as my family day.(3M)
