Baby Clarisse's first meal

I had actually tried feeding Baby Clarisse three times of Plain Porridge, and she is a very clever girl because she didn't push the porridge out of her tongue. She enjoyed eating it and she even cried for more after a few spoons.

Then, yesterday I also tried feeding her Organic Baby Cereal. She loves it so much.

From today onwards, I have instructed Novi to cook plain porridge for Baby Clarisse every day. Feed her once a day in the evening, in between 5.30 - 6.30pm.

Two weeks later, I will add in some carrots into her porridge. :P

SO FAST!!!! My baby is eating semi-solid already! :)

I have actually taken some photos of her first solid meals with Papa's Camera. I shall upload it soon.

Drag....Delay....Another Day

*Sigh* I know it sounds very stupid for me to continuing pumping today even though it is already not enough. I told myself on friday that "NO MORE PUMPING" but I ended up pumping on Saturday, Sunday & Today. It is so addictive...or rather Mama is very stubborn!!!

Saturday -

I told myself..hiyah, it will be the very last time la. I will just bf Baby Clarisse and forget about the pumping.

Sunday -

Hiyah.. (again) ..One last time la....one more feed la.

Today -

Don't know why, I picked up the Breast Pump and carried it with me to the office, and then automatically go to the pantry and start pumping again at the usual time.

Mama is crazy. I know it is not enough but just don't want to let go totally. Arghhh.....Stubborn!!!!!

Almost time to end my BF bond with Baby Clarisse

Baby Clarisse will be 6 months old by the end of the week. My BF plan is actually 6 months. But, I am starting to worry on how we can cope with Baby Clarisse in the night if we have to end the BF. Anyway, at this moment, it is no longer a matter of choice.

My body seems to know that "TIME'S UP" or maybe I had unknowingly entered the "DUE DATE" into my brain stating that my bf is only 6 months. It was sad that after pumping closed to 35mins, I only managed to collect totally of 4 1/2 oz (NOT EVEN ONE FULL FEED). Geezz.. It is very difficult to accept the fact that I have to end this very special bond with my baby. Today, I tried pumping again, the same amount yield. It is definitely is not enough for a feed. Anyway, in this case, there is no point for me pump anymore. I know, this milk is not going to come back anymore and they are gradually reducing day by day. I can feel it from my two "breast friends".

Last night, Baby Clarisse cried in the night as usual. I know that Baby Clarisse is no longer crying for hunger in the night. She can manage to sleep through the night without any feed. BUT, she sometimes wakes up in the night crying for Mama. Last night, I tried not to breastfeed her and tried to replace it with pacifier. She cried even louder and demonstrated her unhappily fiercefully. I was panic and after 5 mins struggling on the pacifier, I ended up offering her my breast friends, and in less than 5mins of sucking, Baby Clarisse dozed off. Zzzzzzzz

HOW ??????????????????????????

KLCC Aquaria Day

Last Sunday, Papa & Mama brought Chloe & Clarisse to KLCC Aquaria for a Magnificent Ocean Walk. Upon arrival, Papa found out that the fees for an adult is RM 35.00/pax. We were both shocked that the entrance fees is so expensive (luckily children below 3yrs are free), but papa "happily" spent RM70.00 for our family to enter the World of Ocean.

Chloe was very excited when we told her that we are bringing her to "see" fish. Unfortunately, Baby Clarisse is too young to understand. BUT, I do not want to leave Baby Clarisse at home with maid. I want four of us to have an outing as a family. Anyway, Aquaria is a clean & cooling place, Baby Clarisse were sleeping comfortably in her stroller most of the time until the "journey" of the Ocean - where the conveyor brings us to adventure of the livings in Ocean. There are Baby Sharks, Stingrays, Turtles and others. Why I said others and not able to name all the fishes and living creatures they presented? There is LIMITED GUIDANCE and LACK OF INFORMATION provided to visitors. Gosh...... This is so important but the Aquaria is not providing. We are there to learn and get to know more about the Ocean Livings BUT there are not enough information. OR maybe the KLCC Aquaria is only meant for ocean lovers/ professionals/ and intelligent people. The next visit, I will make sure I do my research first before I enter again, otherwise how am I suppose to let my daughters know what sorts of fishes ???!!! Geezzzz... That's why ZOO NEGARA is a NO NO to me at the moment.
