Nope I am not a cyclist now…. I
am still a breastfeeding mom!
Do you know that there is such
term in the world of breastfeeding?!
Reverse Cycling!
Hikksss….macam2 la skarang
Anyway, reverse cycling is when
baby is nursing more at night instead of day time.
It is ok as long as baby is gaining
weight and active (means they are not starving!)
This may happen due to; i) baby
too active and too distracted to nurse at day time
ii) mom is too busy to nurse/
working moms
No 1 is exactly what happened to
my baby. He started to stop sleeping through the night when he was around
5-6months. The same time when he started to become more interested in his
surroundings. I can remember clearly that was the time when the ‘niplash’
started:
Get the idea?! (don’t forget to
imagine the pain…. :P)
So anyway….since then, we never
sleep through the night again. I can’t remember the last time I have a really
good night sleep.
At first, I was pretty depressed
about it. I miss my sleep and I am tired all the time. I become cranky and snap
at everything…everytime!
But now, I accept the fact that I
will never ever sleep through the night again! And I should remind myself that our
breastfeeding journey will end sooner that I imagine T_____T
So I am embracing the moment :D
