Well, I have stopped saving the iced milk and only bf Tim directly when waking up , back home and before sleeping for both sides. When going out I can rather easily sidetract him, except before taking the nap.

[size=medium]All 04mama, Happy New Year!!
Hi Flora,
Long time no chat !
I think We are the rare mamas to keep pumping for maintaining better milk supply for son, right!?
Recently, I only can pump around 4oz a day, so gradually let Hayes try drinking cow milk lu...
Anyway, I am very happy that I do my best for my darling son indeed in the past more than 2 years!
Hayes mama
Hayes had been breastfeeding for almost 3 years, then naturally weaned by himself!
I remembered that I had read an article, saying that U have to prepare the first child about your 'away-from-home'. Tell Tung TUng that U'll be away from home and will be back in a few days. I wonder if she can visit U at the hopital. BUt, some mamis reminded that not to let her see U if u'll take the caeserian way as u'll have to be 插滿喉
re:midnight feeding
To my surprise , Tim showed improvement in his sleeping. I tried not to let him suck during midnights for 2 days. On the 1st night, he was awake and I said no 99 and mami would pat U to sleep. Twice, 3:30 and 5 am. But he could not stand at 6. So, I gave him.
Last night, he did not wake up at all, though moving a lot. But, still he could not stand it at around 6. But, to me, it's already very good. Hope that he could continue and quit the midnight feeding gradually.
How's Tim drink formula now?? How's his allergy symptom?
Do you still pump? How much oz a day?
Since Hayes loves to drink mama milk, I thus maintain to pump some for him as day-time drink, but not enough. So he is adjusting to drink some formula...
潮流媽咪:
Wish you all the best! Having 2 girls, so sweet!!!
Long to recieve your GOOD news!!
Monkichi:
Everything alright? Gain good weight?
Go Go really is a Big Boy lah...willing to share with BB & help you to feed...hahahha...so sweet!
Sometimes, I think when will Hayes wean lei??
He loves my milk emotionally, physically & psychologically indeed...

Hayes mama,
Well, each day, I bf Tim directly for both sides when waking up, when back home from work and before sleeping. I did not let him try formular anymore but, he will take rice milk for 5-6 oz after bathing when back from school at around 5:30p.m.
I had stopped saving iced milk la, ie no pumping anymore. Same as U , I also wonder when Tim will wean completely leh? Maybe, just like Hayes, he needs mama milk emotionally, physically & psychologically
I hope so la. if he can sleep better, I may let him sleep back in his room :cry: :cry: and let my maid to take care of him while sleeping. I am ambivalent. Everytime I asked Tim to sleep back to his room, he would say he wanted to sleep in our room and the big bed is his bed
BTW, how's GOGO? I remember taht U want to let him sleep in his room as well?
Florashley,
Your progress is better than mine.
My son will woka up at 1:00 and 3:00am. But I insisted not to give him milk. He still crying but not that crazy as compared to 1st night. It still take 1 hours .....at 1:00am, I will let him watch a bit TV and give him some snacks to eat and drink. At 3:00am, no TV.
He also woke up at 6:00am.....this is the tough time.....sometime I will wait till sunrise to give him the milk. Last night, I was too tight and give him the milk while saying I saw the sun....so you can have the milk.
Did your son wake himself up? What's your response? These 2 days, I did not touch him when I saw him moving. Previously, it seemed that he knew that I was beside him and requested milk rightaway. I just let him stop moving on his own.
Well, actually, I did not suggest U to let him watch TV as this could become a habitual waking-up. U know, even Tim did not cry , I would still wake up in the middle of the night. Also, I believe that making them tired by more exercises may help them to sleep deeply. But not too close to sleeping time.
Florashley,
He woke up by himself........(I woke up by his crying noise).
agree with you that we should not let him watching TV as he will switch the mid-night feeding to watch TV. Also he was confused by sometime we let him watching TV but sometimes not. Thus, we stop letting him watch TV last few days.
Last night was good, he only woke up once.
By the way, I have one question for mid-night bf weaning:
if my son keep crying for 30 mins, shall I ignore him and hold him when he stopping crying? OR keep holding him? Or punish him?
I did not bf Tim when he woke up in the middle of the night in the past few days. For 1 night he woke up at 2:30 and cried for milk . I hugged him and said no 99 la and go back to sleep la. Finally, he slept till 7am. Th these 2 days, he woke up at 6:30 and I just let him suck for a while and then he woke up at 7:30.
I hope that he's getting adjusted to sleep thru the night.

Well, I think the principal is to let him learn fall back asleep on his own. So, I think letting him sleep on the bed when he cried may be better than holding him. I'll pat him and said the same time ' Bobo, mami will give u 99 when sun rises, go back to sleep la' in a low voice . If u talk to them just
like usual, in my case, TIm will be awake and cannot get back to sleep easily.
I know that we're tired too at that time. But, I try to be as soft as I can to help him change this habit lor. I think that it's not their fault lor.
On the other hand, Tim will get 'mad' sometimes when he's so sleepy. He will become ironical and cried, eg unwilling to sleep, wanting to throw things, unwilling to wear pants, etc. In that way, I won't let him and I'll insist what should be done . Usually, in 10 mins, he'll be back to normal. Then I'll teach him a lesson by talking to him seriously,' Mami knows that U're tired and get a bit annoyed . But, u can't just throw your temper like this. '. I'll ask him to say sorry to me. I'll then kiss him back.
