Yu-fei growing up

Yu-qi is 9 mths old..

Time flies, Yu-Qi turn 9 months old on Tuesday and there are some changes for qi-qi's milk intake recently. She has been on partial formula since she is 8.5mths old and the reason is because mummy had no choice but to wean her off bf due to some health reasons.

Initially it was stressful for mummy cause qi-qi simply refused formula at all! Mummy gave her Similac initially and she give the "want to puke" face to mummy and simply shut her mouth. So mummy change to another brand named Enfapro and hopes that she will drink. But this is not the case, she also shut her mouth once she taste the formula and mummy had no choice but to feed her when she is in sleeping mode. This way, she will finished her milk.
But mummy is worried that what if she don't accept formula? How to feed her when she is awake? So mummy search the web, ask the PDs, fellow mummies for advise and was told to mixed formula with breast milk for baby. But mummy try not to mix cause it will be wasted if qi-qi does not finish the milk or refused totally. So mummy continue to give her formula once a day and gradually increase to 2, 3 times a day. And surprisingly after almost 2 weeks of time, qi-qi finally able to accept formula! She can finished her formula milk when she is wide awake!

Phew, mummy's worried was gone and she has stop pumping since yesterday. That means mummy will have more time for her beauty sleep which she seriously lack of since having qi-qi (hmm, i think should be since having me!) and also have more time to spend with us!
