Benji 1 year old vaccine

Benji go for his 1 year old vaccine today.

2 vaccines - the 1st dose of MMR (measles, mumps & Rubella) & 1st PVC booster for Pneumococcal.

Alvin said benji did not cry, I am glad to hear that... my boy has grown up.

and he is 80cm & 9.9kg. :) i believe he is a healthy baby...

mummy boy, do grow up healthy & happily. Mummy give u lots & lots of love.

End of the breastfeeding story......

I have officially stop breastfeeding start from today!!!

As if today, i have manage to breast feed benji for 1 year and 7 days (372 days). Though i cannot say that i have remarkable results, but I am truly proud of myself & benji.. It is absolutely not easy to be a breastfeeding working mother, especially I have to travel ~1.5 hours to/from work (total 3 hours).

The journey is hard, but i am glad that i have made it. My initial target was 6 months, then 9 months, then I have mange to go to 1 year!

Thanks to all my friends who have given me lots & lots of advice & encouragement.. without you all, my benji would not grow fat fat white white like that.

Thanks to benji, whom has given me the most courage when he 1st suck my nipple as if he is telling me "mama, i know how to do it, don worry.. we are going to work well on this".... i still remember my first time bf benji, i was so touch by the bonding feel that i have never felt before.. it's simply amazing!

Thinking of ending breastfeeding, I really feel upset about it. I am too used to having benji in my arms, making me feel that how much he needs me... But Benji has too many things to focus on and learn about.. We must move on from here...

I am really grateful that benji is well adapting to the solid (in fact, he loves to eat). and with the remaining limited stock of breast milk I have stored, hopefully benji can adapt to the formula milk soon... But Benji has never let me down.. And I have confident that he will going to show a another wonder!
