funny… the other day one of my ex-colleague who’s also a mother… asked me why I don’t express my milk…
asked me if I find it inconvenient to go out since I opt to ‘direct’ breastfeed, my response that time was “I just need to go to mall with nursing room”
she said, “isn’t that inconvenient?”
well.. frankly, this word never comes into my mind, ‘inconvenient’
ya… to most people maybe it’s ‘inconvenient’, however, I find packing up bottles, flask, and all the breast pumps and so on, when going out, is even more inconvenient…
if there’s no nursing room??
Ha… ask my friends, I’ve nursed with the poncho, as simple as that, I’ve nursed in coffee bean, I’ve nursed in tai thong restaurant while having dimsum…
Other people may see me with “colourful spectacles”, however… do I have to care??
(same as my “comparison to construct” piece, I normally do not care less what others think… and to those people, I’ll just have to say “MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS PLEASE!”)
She then advised me that, later when baby teething (sure bite) and baby gets bigger, I’ll sure regret…
Well… I told her, and myself too… then, I’ll see… I can’t be worrying much now…
I know she advised me in good means… however… I really have not found any of these “challenges” that I’ve to go through a problem…
Her poision, my dessert…
Vice versa, her dessert, my poison (arrgh… I find expressing milk too troublesome, you’ve to sterilize the bottles, you’ve to manage the bottles, and what more to say, when you’re outside… say the frozen milk ran out, you still have to go to private place to express the milk… and I do find it funny if I were to express my milk underneath a poncho in the restaurant while having dimsum)
Funnier still… on the same day, another ex-colleague came by my place (ya, that day itself, I’ve 2 visitors, yippie!)
When I describe to her, she also think that, direct breastfeed is ‘convenient’…
Of course, I supposed there’s no right or wrong only if the person who’s doing what is truly enjoying it…
And I do truly enjoy my breastfeeding experience… hehe…
Also, like what I’ve mentioned to my ex-boss…, adults, will bear the consequences of their own choice
I’m sure, later, I’ll cry when baby starts to bite due to the teething process… and I guess, I just have to bear the consequences…
