Now that I have three kids, I don’t have free time for myself during weekends or even after office hours. And with Kyson demanding to be latched on to my “nen-nen” during daytime and refusing milk bottle most of the days is adding towards my serious consideration of staying at home maybe 1 more day […]

Kyson is going to be 6 months old in 12 days time. What can he do now? His weight is 7.9 kg - didn’t increase for the past one month due to him coughing and feverish. At times it was so easy to feed him medicine while at times I had to force the medicine […]

The weather is so hot these few days. It is so crazy hot and yet we have to visit our relatives one by one. For the past 5 days, our routine was so hectic that we went out early in the morning and we came back only in the late evening. We took baby Kyson […]

Yesterday marked Kyson’s first important milestone. He managed to right turn himself from his back to his tummy. In less than 2 minutes, he would then call for help after being stuck at tummy’s position. He is also capable of kicking his leg and moved his whole body from one end of the bed to […]

Two working moms that I knew pumped their breast 4 times in a day. At every 6 hours interval, they will be doing their motherly job (pumping their breast) and in a day they could easily collect 30-34 oz of breast milk. They stored their breast milk in milk bottles or storage bags either in […]

Ever since I stopped breastfeeding when Kylin was 7-8 months old, I was not satisfied with myself. My milk supply dropped drastically due to my laziness to express breast milk at night and my inconsistent pumping schedule during day time. So, after 6 months of breastfeeding Kylin, my milk supply dropped drastically and by 8 […]

Happy New Year. Another ordinary year for hubby but I want to make this year a great year for me and my family. A year where a new “me” will begin.
My new year resolutions are: -
No. 1 - To slim down to 52 kg. If unachievable, I am fine with 55 kg also.
No. 2 - […]

Last week, Kylie and Kylin, together with their daddy attended a relative’s wedding dinner. Kyson and me stayed at home because Kyson is still young and needed my full attention. After all, breastfeeding in the fully packed restaurant would be troublesome to me.
After they came back from the wedding dinner, Kylie told me many things […]

Kyson is already 2 months and 4 days old today. He has a little bit of phlegm (caught the virus from his eldest sister last week) and could hardly drink milk due to this. I am worried that his weight will drop. As for me, when I weigh myself at the clinic 3 days ago, […]

During my confinement, I sat on the sofa listening to the budget with interest while breastfeeding Kyson. The imposition of RM50 service tax next year on all the credit cards “awoke” me. When hubby reached home that night, I told hubby this piece of news immediately. He had few credit cards and we need to […]

My neighbor’s house was under renovation on the fifth day of my confinement. The ‘Ping’ and ‘Pong’ noises from the renovation works really annoyed me, especially when breastfeeding Kyson. Luckily, their work progresses very fast. In within 2 weeks, they rebuilt their kitchen.
I managed to have a quick chat with the house owner recently and […]

Today I went for Kyson’s 1st jab of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) at 2 months old. He cried a little while the training nurse injected on his right thigh. The training nurse was guided by an experienced nurse and I was worried when I saw how inexperienced […]

I received an email recently from a new visitor to my blog. She was so bored staying at home during her confinement month. She had just delivered her second baby, a baby girl, and asking me how do I get through my confinement month. She spent most of her time watching television or chatting online […]

I am back to work. Yes. I am back to work 12 days earlier since I was not paid for resting at home. Rather than me sitting in the house breastfeeding Kyson all day long, might as well I go back to work and get paid daily. It was a difficult decision for me, as I love […]

Last Saturday, I weigh myself at the doctor’s office. I am glad to see that my weight has dropped a little. In fact, my weight was lower than when I was pregnant with Kyson at 1 month. Now, I wanted to reduce further. Another 6 more kg to slim down and I will be hitting […]

When I was pregnant with Kylie, my first child, my weight increased about 16 kg. After delivery, I could not shed the last few kilograms away despite breastfeeding her for almost 1.5 years. Then I was pregnant with Kylin, my second child. I gained another 8 kg in total. I breastfed Kylin shorter (less than […]

Yesterday hubby and I received a not so good news. With the news we received, we have to be more cautious with our expenses. But how can I cut down the additional expenses in the coming months? Baby is due on the 3rd week of September. Definitely we have to incur more expenses for the […]

How long do you breastfeed your baby? My heart felt so heavy with the decision I made today. I am going to stop breastfeeding Kylin. Not that my heart and mind wanted to but my milk supply decreased drastically since 2 months ago. Kylin drank formula milk more than breast milk when she was 8 […]

This was what I tried to do few days back. Let Kylin drink from the milk bottle instead of me breastfeeding her. I was too tired to breastfeed her at that time.
Kylin was so sleepy and yet cannot sleep due to hunger. So I let her lay inside her “sarong” and gave her her milk bottle.
To my surprise, she managed to hold […]

This morning we took Kylin for her routine medical check up. I undressed her and placed her on top of the weighing machine. Guess what is her weight? She is only 6.8kg, very small for an almost 8 months old baby. I told hubby and we were SOooo worried, as two months ago, she was 6.5kg. Only […]
