still breastfeeding?!? Now I really need to get to know you again! You're surely a very very good mother, sacrificing time and freedom. It's too tough for me and I only tried a week or so and gave up. I was so down and depressed having to breast-feed, change diaper, bath, wash, etc. and repeat these for 24 hrs a day. I did pumped milk for Darryl for a month or so but that's it really. I just went with the bottle. It's good that you can insist cos' it's good for her health and it's a long lasting, lifetime advantage over bottle fed babies. When she catches virus or other disease later on in her childhood or adult life, it'll definitely take her a shorter time to recover, and the symtoms won't be as serious either. KEEP IT UP!! Cheers, Jackie

My reply:
Thanks for your note and encouraging word..... yes, i am still breastfed my baby exclusively + trying some solids twice a day. to you and many mothers, they think it's cool someone like me can breastfeed my baby for so long, and i do enjoy it very much while you see a little one who is so naive and fully depend on me while she really enjoys the comfort of being fed in this way.

But ......... it's very sad you hear compliant from your loved one who think you are not good enough. I am mentally exhausted to hear my husband says "oops, you forgot to put diaper into the bin" or "you forgot to put tissue into the bin" or "you forgot this or that" and says "you always need someone who follow your mess" , it seems there will not be perfectly right while i am doing ONE small mistake out of TEN everyday..... yet i do sleep till 10-11 am most of the day he said, but he never thinks how many timessss i wake up at night to comfort baby and do the night feedings. If the email was written by him, I won't feel exhausted mentally and physically and thank god someone who do appreciate my hard work. After read your email, i feel even more sad why people think so different in different angles.
