Minimal waste

For the first time in 8 months, we have no food and milk wasted today. Swe-cha ate and drank everything on his plate and milk in his bottles. I am amazed.

Swe-cha's feedings are usually very erratic, he would feed anywhere between 0.5 oz to 5 oz each feeding and it's so hard to predict if he's hungry or not because he could go for 5 hrs w/o eating and then drink half an ounce and yet sometimes, he would be hungry for milk again 2 hrs after taking 5 ounces and drink another 3 more.

Fortunately, we are blessed with more than enough breastmilk so we can tolerate his erratic feedings and we can afford to always have a bottle of fresh (or thawed/warmed-up) breastmilk on hand just in case he gets hungry. The drawback is that at the end of the day, we usually have a lot of milk-gone-bad.

Mommy is so happy and proud of you, Swe-cha.

  1. I didn't realize you have a new blog! :) my little boy was not much of a bottle drinker either. When he has extra & we put it back in the ref, if it's still within the consumption, then we just add it to his rice cereal or whatever food. :)
