ME! the breastfeeding father!!

Dear Yasmin,

We did something that made mommies laughed and laughed tonight. While cleaning up after you finished dinner tonight, you suddenly reach out and want to suckle daddy's chest....!! It was so ticklish!! You put your lips on daddy's chest, and lick it quickly and sniff a few times, than you turned to mommy and laughed!! Then seeing mommy laughed so hard, you ask daddy to stand beside you, and you turn your head to sniff daddy's chest again!!

Mommy said from now on, if you woke up in the middle of the night and want to nurse, daddy would offer my chest to you instead....ha ha ha

Mommy told daddy that when you suckle on mommy's breast, you would sniff, then you face would have a satisfied look as if you are high on something.

WBW 2007 Together We Breastfeed

Dear Yasmin,

Today you and mommy helped set a Guinness World Record!!

We joined 130 other mommies and babies this morning to set a World Synchronized Breastfeeding record. 5 mins to 10 oclock this morning, the hall at Macpherson CC was very noisy, full of babies cries, and mommies chit-chatting. At 10 on the dot, all of you babies started suckling at mommies' breasts, and within seconds, the hall quieted down.

There was magic show, as well as balloonist entertaining you children, also there were booths selling things. Daddy displayed our children brands in one booth and many aunties came and bought quite a lot of clothes. Mommies was very happy because she got to see many other mommies.

Later, Mommy was interviewed by a the Strait Times newspaper, and daddy was interviewed by Channel News Asia, and the radio.

You ran around the whole morning, and played with Faith, Eunice and Evelyn. After lunch, we left and you gave hugs to all of them. It was so cute to see all of you babies hugging each other.

This evening, Mommies found online her interview:

SMILEeeeeeeeeeeee!

Dear Yasmin,

You ate so much at dinner tonight! Daddy made delicious pumpkin soup for you and I've added little star-shaped pasta in the soup for you.

We cooked that pasta together and while we watched the pasta turning in the boiling water, we sang 'Twinkle twinkle little stars, why are you in the hot water!' When we start eating, we sang the 'Twinkle twinkle little ............ car, banana, pasta, spoon........' and you would say ' that's wrong daddy' and you take one mouthful of soup in your. You finished a very big bowl of soup tonight! Good Girl!

Goat Farm revisited

Dear Yasmin,

This morning we had so much fun feeding goats!

We went to a goat farm in Sungei Buloh this morning. You were so excited on the journey to the farm. You saw a tree and shouted 'Banana Tree' and sure enough, it was a banana tree..... we just wonder how do you it is a banana tree, we've never shown you one before....

When we arrived at the farm, you ran all the way to the barns where the goats are kept. You screamed 'goat! goat! mehhhhh... mehhhh... ' and stop and stared at the goats.... one of them put its head over the gate and sniffed your hair!!

We fed goats with dried grass, and you laughed when goats ate grass from your hand and you felt tickled by their tongues.

Afterwards Daddy bought bottles of goat milk for you to try. Since you are allergic to Cow's milk, you have not been able to take any dairy products containing cow's milk including ice-cream (your favourite, but you'd have rash around your mouth), strawberry with milk, even the cream on cakes.... You always reject cow's milk even the glass of milk is arm's length from you. However you seemed to like goat milk and you had no rashes. Daddy now has idea to make ice cream with goat milk for you to try!!
