Marose: wag pa-affect, girl! Ganon talaga ang buhay. Sad to say, for most people, if you don't have a name nor money, you ain't worth that much. I beg to disagree. Yun pa ngang mga taong may name ang mas maraming tinatagong skeletons in their closet.

On a happier note, my friend will try to get butter loaf from Shoppers today for our after dinner coffee.. Sana she'll be able to get stock!

marose, re bf-ing, i agree with you. I personally equipped myself with knowledge because i know i'd like to bf since i also did it with s1 yet i feel that if i had the support before baka masnaextend ko pa kay s1 (mixed lang kasi and i stopped at 7months for babaw reason) so with s2 i researched so i could get family members esp my husband to support me in hitting the 1 year mark, but as i go along and as i read more blogs, articles, forums etc, nafeel ko din yung pressure and superiority complex and when i think about it, instead of being motivated, it's making me feel stressed and anxious pa. So i decided to take it easy and not be too hard on myself, enjoy ko lang bonding moment namin ni baby while im able to nurse her. :) to be honest, i stopped reading some articles which i find judgmental because i dont want to adapt yung attitude na tingin sa moms whow formula feed immediately are not good moms because i have friends na buntis or kasabayan ko, i encourage them to bf by sharing my story and the many pros of bf, but i know my limits, i dont want to offend them by giving unsolicited advice. :)

Grace, not affected at all haha.  Na-disappoint lang ako kasi my BFF (who is a doctor) saw for herself how I breastfed the twins. Hindi biro ang dinaanan naming mag-iina.  Especially ang mag-BF ng 29 week old preemies!  Eh, the suckling reflex is developed by the fetus at around 32 weeks of gestation. Then, she chose to follow the girl nga who has a blog on breastfeeding.  Hindi rin kasi well-informed ang pedia niya on the best practices on breastfeeding.  I am so thankful because my pedia and OB were both BF advocates at very supportive.  Walang impossible sa kanila. :)

Napapagod na rin ako kakabigay ng advice sa BF thread though advocacy ko kasi talaga ang BF.  Some of the girls kasi konting hirap lang, gi-give up agad.  So I learned na to distinguish yung totoong may query or problem from those who are asking but trying to rationalize why they should stop.  Ayoko rin ng pilitan.

re: BF 2 weeks lang ako nagbreastfed kay G.. kasi ayaw nia sa dibdib ko.. umiiyak sia so nafrufrustrate lang ako lagi.. ginagawa ko nag pupump ako para may mainom siya.. mixed feeding nako agad kasi onti lang din milk production ko.. hanggang sa naubos siya agad.. di ko na pinilit..

Marose - tama ka jan yung mga nag aattitude.. Sino ba ang nanay ayaw magpa BF diba? Kaso kanya kanya [textspeak!] sitwasyon.. Tulad ako ayaw ni baby pero nun sa friend ko sia na may milk pa nag suck gusto nia.. Kaya i ended up pumping.. Kaso ala naman hubby beside me to help sa gabi.. As in ako lahat pag gabi na, kaya uber ang sacrifice ko kay G.. Buti nalang at mabait siya nakikisama sa gabi hindi pasaway until now.. :)

OA sa BR ha.  Hindi ko na nabasa lahat.

Marose - parang hindi pa ako napadpad kay Doc Heidi. Ano last name nya? Meron akong inaway na derma dati dun because she was more than an hour late. Galit na galit ako. haha.  Matagal na akong hindi pumupunta dun eh.  Sa tabi tabi na lang ako nagpapa diamond peel (same as microdermabrasion).

Jai - naku sana nga no hidden owie sa baby mo.  But remember, our babies' guardian angels are always working overtime to protect them.  So, I think ok nga talaga baby mo.  Kaya rule namin before with highvhairs, hindi talaga puede iwanan, kahit na talikuran bawal.

Tin - Try Fern-C.  Ako, Fern-C works for me.  Hindi na ako as sakitin as before.  Dati every other month nagkakasakit ako. Now hindi na.  Kaya kinukulit ko clinic namin na magbigay na rin ng Fern-C haha.  Mahal kasi eh.

Nesz- baka mamayang hapon maabot sayo ni M yung bayad kasi may meeting sila every AM.

Lia/Marcia - may 6pcs ako na loose nung pull ups. Dadalhin ko na ba yung diapers on Friday or the sample lang muna?

On the EB - 1st EB ko yan if ever. Si husband, lagi ako niloloko. 1st EB ko nga daw. haha. Hindi naman yun papayag kung wala akong kilala dun. haha. Masyado daw kasi akong naive.

re BF: swerte talaga ang mom's na may milk kaya hanggang kaya naman sana tiisin. ako noon ang hirap din kasi kahit magmall ako dala ko ang pangpump tas magpapump ako sa Breastfeeding room ng mga malls. A-for effort talaga. Tapos ang mga outfit pa natin dapat yung may easy access for BFeeing or Pumping.. hahaha.. nalalala ko halos paulit ulit lagi damit ko noon.. hahaha paulit ulit na nga nung buntis paulit ulit pa nung after magbuntis :) lalo na sa yaya, kelangan din committed sila kasi mas madali magtimpla ng milk kesa mag thaw ng BM.

Re BF din - ako noon dahil konti lang (mixed feeding si G and Destructo since birth), talagang tyinaga ko hanggang meron. Sabi nga nung Tita Pedia ko, as long as I can even how little it is, goes a long way for the babies.  Kaya si G - 11 months 3 weeks, si Destructo - 16 months. Gusto pa dapat ako kunin ng Tita Pedia as model daw for BF kasama nila TinTin Bersola haha natawa ako kasi sabi ko, never ako naging healthy chest even with the breastmilk. Gusto kasi nila parang mga professionals etc. Eh buti na lang pinagbigyan ako na wag na kasi wala din Tita Pedia ko sa event. Dati, pag nagpupump ako sa office, minsan tumatawag pa boss ko so kausap ko sya while pumping. Dinididisclose ko naman na I'm pumping kasi may sucking sound yung pump haha.

Bumili rin ako ng ref para malagay yung BM ko after pumping.  Pinaalam ko lang sa Facilities namin na maglalagay ako ng ref. Ok naman, kasi wala pa daw kaming Nursing Room. Dapat kasi meron na lahat ng offices eh.

Jai - meron sa Landmark nung mga ganyan.  Rustan's din meron.

Nesz - sa mga company-employed doctor natin ako close. Alam nila gaano ako kasakitin at talagang nag lessen ang clinic visits ko nung nag FernC ako.  Will make them kulit nga.

Jai - buti pa office nyo may Nursing Room.  Haha ino-offer ko nga part of our office, kaya lang baka hindi pumayag boss ko. Abtayin na lang namin kung malipat yung admin ng Medical Services namin, baka magka lugar.  I also suggested a Day Care dito.  Dahil nga yayaless ang drama ko.  Baka nga puede mag te up sila with TU or Gymboree or similar establishments, kahit na magbayad pa ang working moms, I'm sure maraming kakagat ng service ng office na ganun.

Lia - ok. pm kita. Yung alive, yung once daily ba iniinom ng husband mo? Talaga nga bang naging energetic sya?

pero pag nasa McKinley ako sa Clinic lang ang nursine room pero private naman.. like ko yang idea ng Day Care. Pano ba masusuggest yan? So bale ang suggestion is may bayad pa din pero may certain % na subsidized ng office?

Jai - yes. Haha. Dun sa clinic admin ko namin sinuggest. Gusto nya nga daw yung idea. Kasi sabi ko had to take a 2 week leave nga noon kasi no yaya (well, hanngang ngayon wala pa rin naman kami yaya).

Si Pia yung nagbibigay ng Alive kay K.

Good morning mommies! Medyo busy din ako at madaming racket on the side!  ;D

Sagot lang ako ng mabilis...

Michelle - yes, 5 months exclusive BF, happy pa ako nun! fulfilling din naman talaga  :)

Marose - correct! kaya di ako nagvivisit na dun sa BF thread or mag-post man lang kase di ko kaya makipagsabayan. Atska feeling ko worthless ako lalo na if nakakabasa ako na may naka-meet ng 1 year. Kaso ano naman magagawa ko that time? eh di ako happy! tapos, iniisip ko lagi paano padedehin si Y instead na isipin ko pano kame mag-bonging  :( Kung may enough patience lang ako, why not? pero may enough milk ako ha. Yun nga lang talaga personal choice ko  :)

Re books - Dr Seuss, mahal books nya  ;D Tingin ako sa Book Sale baka mas makatipid. Sa 1 year onwards pa naman magagamit ni Y.
