Breastfeeding Episode
This is to remind me how lucky I am to have my little girl who cheered my “temporary chaotic” life. J
Xue Rou (XR) was very fascinated by my breastfeeding. She has been asking me why do I breastfeed. She wanted to help feed milk to her baby brother with the milk bottle but it seems impossible as I always latch on my little baby boy. I tried explaining to her that “Mummy has milk and needs to breastfeed baby after delivery”.
“Oh, ok, I know”, replied XR in a matter-of-fact tone.
Three nights later, she took a pillow to put behind her back (like what I was doing at that time as I was getting ready to breastfeed). Then she placed another pillow on her lap and started to lay her small bolster at her chest. “Mummy, look. I’m also breastfeeding my baby”, she said, smiling brightly at me.
It was hilarious!! Both of us burst out laughing. Although I know I don’t get to spend much time with her these days, it is one of the best time which I truly enjoy. Mother and daughter private time, laughing. Hahaha……J
Just yesterday, while breastfeeding, she stared at my breast for sometime. I knew something must be up on her sleeve. How true!! Immediately after I finished breastfeeding her brother, she put on her enthusiastic face and said, “I want milk too”.
“Breast milk? ”, I asked her. She nodded eagerly.
“Ok, you asked for it. So, here you go. Remember to suck and not bite mummy coz you have teeth,” I said to her.
After 5 seconds of suckling, she pulled out and first word uttered out from her is “YUCK!”
I teased her, “Don’t you want anymore?” She was waving her hands and shaking her head.
“No, no, no need”. She tried to put up a straight face but also couldn’t help smiling.
Me, hubby and my sis laughed. How can we not?? The antics of this 4.5 years old girl really tickled the heck out of me. Hahahha….. *Chuckle* Yeah, although she does drive me nuts at times, she makes me laugh and relax myself. J
Priceless! Precious.
