Weaning Off

I guess it is a sign of weaning off naturally.. or baby led weaning.. :o)

Recently, I have not been breastfeeding Jayden as frequent as before. Only 1-3 times a day.. Sometimes, only 1 time that is the feeding before sleep.

For some reasons, Jayden has been asking for his favorite 'green tea oat milk' in the morning instead of breastmilk, and when he requests for midnight milk, I just have to tell him that mommy doesn't have any milk anymore and he will settle down with just some water. If he happens to be too hungry, he will ask for his fav 'green tea oat milk' again. :P

I like how this whole weaning process works.. gradually and naturally.. Hope someday soon Jayden will tell mommy he doesn't wanna drink breastmilk before sleep.. Heheheh.. :o)

Weaning or Not?

Very soon Jayden will turn 2.5y/o. I was initially planning to wean off my little baby when he is around 2.5years and now it seems the time is approaching soon. However, I found no reason to wean him off, considering he is still allergic to cow's milk.

I guess the answer will still be no for the moment. I might only wean him off when we are planning for #2. Let's hope I can produce a better immunity milk so Jayden will grow out of his food allergies as soon as possible. :o)

Decreasing Breastmilk

Lately, I feel Jayden has been drinking very little breastmilk. Not just that, most of the time he would say 'mou jor nai nai' (means no more milk). I guess the milk flow has really decreased a lot since he is much grown up now and will need more milk.

This is further proven to be true as he has been waking up 2-3 times a night these few days. It's too exhausting for me!! Meanwhile, I am very glad that he can take soymilk now, as this will mean he has another source of protein and essential nutrients whenever he decided to stop being nursed.. :o)
