14th August 2010 is a day for me to remember, not tat it's the YOG's opening ceremony ;p but it marks the day in which my breastfeeding journey with Kaelyn ends.... Kinda of emo for me. ;'(
My initial plan is to bf her till she turns 2yo and slowly wean her off. But alas this plan of mine has to be aborted/terminated early as I'm down with bad flu which have been bugging me for quite some time and it's making me breatheless and my chest felt soo congested..Boooo! Hence decided to see doc and take proper medication to cure it else think my nose is gonna 'dropped' off by my constant rubbing and blowing of mucus. *Sigh*
Hub is in total support of me weaning Kaelyn off as of now as he feels that Kaelyn is old enuff and is sure tat she has benefited lots and is orie taking her solids well.

Initially I was still worry bout the weaning process, whether I'm in for a hard time to wean her off. But I'm glad I doing it step by step to slowly wean her off by reducing the no. of feeds daily from 4times slowly to 3, to 2 then only left the night bedtime latch. In fact it seems to me tat Kaelyn is doing fine without latching to sleep and she did not even pester or cry at all asking to be latch. Guess I'm the one who can't bear to end my breastfeeding journey with her.*Bleah*
The previous night I just asked her to go to bed and sleep and she did so w/o pestering me to latch her!! It did surprised me...awwww my baby has grown up and she does not need to be latch to sleep anymore!! =) Bittersweet feeling!!!

Hence yest night b4 starting on my flu medication, I decided to talk to her and was telling her tat it will be her last latch/feed and I'm not gonna bf her anymore due to my prolonged flu and of cos she appeared so nonchalent bout it and instead I am the one who's feeling SOOOO SAD & EMO!

Nvmtheless I'm truly proud to say that I ve bf my girl for bout/close to 22mths and I'm sure she has benefits lots from my bm and enjoying the close bond I share with her! ;) 3 cheers for myself and a big pat on my back for gng so far when I tot I cannot even make it for 6mos! ;p

Till then and I hope my sickening flu can be cured soon!!

Ciao!
