I was attacked by another bout of Mastitis yesterday and am still feeling the pain today. I was really exhausted 2 nights ago, overslept (I normally wake up between 3-5am to change her diaper and feed her) and did not switch sides to let Baby suckle on my right boop. Yesterday morning, my nightie was […]

I felt pain on my boop early in the morning yesterday during my jogging session, especially when I lifted my left hand. The pain gradually intensified and by afternoon, it was unbearable. It felt tender and extremely painful when […]

This time it’s pretty bad again. The phlegm is dark green, thick and sometimes hard too! Ewwww…. and it smells foul […]

Baby C will be turning one in just a few days and I’m glad that I am still breastfeeding her. Though I’ve received unkind and uncalled for remarks from some people saying that breastmilk is of no value after 1 year, I am resolute to keep breastfeeding my sweetiepie until she’s 18 months, that is […]
