Weaning: Day 2

This is Adrian being kept busy during the day to distract him from coming onto me wanting for a feed.

Apart from playing iPad or my old iPhone, he’ll do this. Sketching anything, or even rip up the paper. Penat I’ll tell you. I hardly sit during the day sebab malas nak bangun every time he came to me. Weaning is easy but getting him to accept other milk is hard. He didn’t drink any milk at all today apart from the milk I mixed into his orange juice and a bit of cheese in his porridge.

I’m getting so sad. I really think we have to opt for the calcium tablet just like GP suggested. So it’s ok if he doesn’t drink milk when I know he’s taking his tablet.

This is few minutes before he doze off to sleep on his own. He’s too tired, ye la bangun pukul 7, pastu nap at 2.30pm of course la pengsan Adrian

Tengok dah lelap. Kejap je. Let’s just hope malam ni dia cepat penat juga sebab dia nap quite late hari ni.

An innocent Abang baby. Mummy sedih sangat2, hanya tuhan yang tahu tapi mummy terpaksa. Adrian ada adik baby. Adrian sayang adik baby kan. I love you Adrian! With all my heart and soul. Maafkan mummy.

You’re turning 2 next month Adrian, dah tak leh pakai romper ni dah. Hehe.

Update at night after Adrian is asleep at 10.24pm:
Did I tell you he napped for 2 hours today. Woke up pastu bangun senyap2 tapi still asked for iPad, nak tengok movie.

Tidur malam pula, it took him 5-10 mins to sleep on his own. We put him on his bed, let him play my iPhone and dia pun mainlah his baby’s app sampai bila nak tidur, he put his iPhone next to him.

Sedih ok tengok Adrian sleep sendiri. Sedih happy I mean. Look how much my baby has grown. Dia dah faham semua benda. Anyway, hari ni juga dia tak minum susu at all apart from the one i mixed into his juice, itu pun sikit je.

Since dia still belum boleh accept other milk and is fine with not having one, kita orang dah beli calcium supplement. We’ll be mixing it with his porridge.

I’m being so emotional today. Sorry, can’t help it. Rasa tiba2 Adrian dah jauh. Kebiasaannya dia akan tidur on my arm sambil nursing. He’ll hug me with his cute chubby hands. Rasa lonely pula tiba2 Adrian tak hug mummy masa tidur.

Orang hati kering tak perlu baca ni, I’m a mum, a sappy mum to be exact. I’ve nursed him for 23 months, and that’s a big achievement for both of us. It’s something I’m proud of and we’ve created a special bond tiap kali nursing. A bond yang only a nursing mother would understand.
