Fra Ra and BBQ Ribs

Our daughter love Pork BBQ ribs, so that is what we had last Friday for lunch. We also made the pasta bahala na coz we all love it..

Our son EJ kept saying Fra Ra "Fried Rice" while eating it yesterday morning. I am so happy with the success of my weaning attempt with my son, now he is eating good and sleeping good through the night. Now, I can go back to my normal eating habit without feeling guilty that my son will starve if I don't eat extra. I can start trimming this bilbil (tummy fat) by trimming my meals also hehehe.. Just sharing folks.

sleepless night

We had a rough time the night before last night because our son did not sleep well. He kept us all night, he was trying to make me nurse him again but I don't want to stop what I started. We been through this twice and we didn't succeed and this time I want to succeed weaning him... The funny thing is, I miss our bonding huwahhhhhhhhhh. He refused to take nap yesterday, he was crying for meme. I am glad that last night was good, he only woke up once and I just massage his back and he went back to sleep.

weaning.. engorgement... pain

Honestly, I am in agony right now because of engorgement. I started weaning my son today which, of course, he did not approve of. He was so mad and cranky today that I really didn't let him nurse. Right now I have a solid rock breast, I've tried the cold compress and will try the warm compress again coz its getting painful. Any advice anyone? I feel bad for my son though, but I just want him to eat good instead of relying on nursing. I tried weaning him a couple of months ago but I did not succeed because I felt so bad seeing him cry. My technique this time is that I discourage him from nursing by putting a dub of vinegar on my nipple, after he tasted it, he didn't attempt to nurse till now... Well he tried, but I repeated what I did this morning hehehe..

This is his reaction today! (the photo was taken last year)
