Little one is turning 1 soon.
He is still exclusively breastfeed.
He is also taking solid. Breakfast (most of the time). Lunch
and early dinner (or should I say high tea…cuz he would have it around 6-630pm)! Now he even have the appetite for dinner (around 8 pm).
I do hope his milk-drinking session would slowly decrease. I
don’t want it to totally stop. NO! but I do hope he would rely more on the food
for his energy. WHY?
1st- my milk production is getting less and less…but it
still meet his demand! I see this as good and bad thing. I don’t want to wean
him yet but I just can’t produce milk just like I did before. I couldn’t miss
even one pumping session. Or else he won’t enough milk when I am at work.
2nd- I refuse…strictly refuse to give him formula
milk. I do hope my milk will last till he is at least 1 year and above. The good
news is, once your baby turns 1, he can drink milk. I mean true milk instead
the formula heh….i am not informed enough to tell you about
formula milk vs real milk. All I know I don’t want my kid to drink formula milk simply
because I want him to eat/drink less processed food/drink.
3rd- I read about how our 2 3 year old rely on
milk for their energy. They refuse to eat real food and parents spend fortune
on buying milk (money is an issue!). Most of the time, the kid will become
underweight/overweight, have dental problems (because most of this milk has
high sugar content) and worse, drinking milk far too much, can cause kidney
problem (read about this from an article written by a homeopathy doctor…and it
seems logic!)
There. That’s my three reasons. I am not an epitome of
health. I am overweight most of my life and I am just turning 30.
I just hope my kid will be healthier… ;)
