'Should I Continue to Breastfeed Post 6 Months' Poll Results

Dear Peeps!

Thanks for taking time off to vote for the poll. All votes received indicated that all peeps who voted are avid supporters of breastfeeding and have encouraged me to continue doing so. That is most certainly what I'll try to do, even though I have to go to Australia in mid May for 10 days. Hopefully little Baby will continue to like to be breastfed even after I return from my trip. She is already showing signs of resisting breast milk (according to the infant care teachers) and preferring formula milk instead. *Sigh*

Anyway, yes, I have started introducing infant formula as well because there will be no way I can store enough milk for her to consume while I'm away in Australia. I decide to introduce breast milk to her early so she has sufficient time to get used to formula milk because I read on some websites that some babies may have problem weaning off, as they are more used to breast milk and would refuse formula. She doesn't seem to have any problems with the formula, or any brands so, so far, my worries are really unfounded. I just knew she's an adaptable baby.

Anyway, I think she should be a big baby instead of little baby now.

It's incredible how much she has grown in less than 6 months. No wonder Patrick kept telling me that I'll miss the time when she is small.

Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to her calling me 'mummy' some time soon.
