Don't bite

Half an hour to midnight, and i don't feel like sleeping yet. The girls are soundly asleep. Guessed they are tired from our trip to the waterfront this evening.

Suprisingly Sophie just dozed off without breastfeeding tonight. I gave her a 5oz milk, then just rolling and mumbling and suddenly quiet. Oh, hallelujah! Dah tido rupanya. And Milan too. She was playing some games on Ipad and then passed the Ipad to me. After few minutes, she too has gone to lala land.

See that subject? I have been trying to wean Sophie off from breastfeeding. Ok, i got the idea that it is best to breastfeed your baby until they are 2 years old. But at this point, she is 1 year old and she loves to bite. Breastfeeding is no more fun. I hope it is not too much if i tell you breastfeeding gives me goose bumps!

Sakit sangat ke? Hewl yeah! It hurts so much that i cried most of the times. Imagine your nipples being twisted with a tweezer or being snapped by the rat trap. Something like that.

She likes to bite and pull. And if i shouted, she'll bite even harder. She gets excited. The 'shoved the boobies' onto her face doesn't do magic anymore as she knows how to free her nose and at the same time continue biting. Nor does the cover her nose. The best trick so far is to tickle her feet.

I have tried applying coffee before breastfeeding, nahhh...she just sucked them all. She might even love the taste of kopi susu. As much as i cannot stand the fear of her biting my nipples everytime, i am quite reluctant to stop breastfeed her.

Well, let see if we can reach the 2 years milestone. Should the biting worsen, sorry darling. Your younger siblings deserve their chance to breastfeed too. And Mommy won't be able to do so if Mommy is 'nipple-less'.

p/s: breastfeeding is difficult to start and stop. i think.
