Ingredients: white rice, mixed vegetables, broccoli, chicken, sukiyaki beef, egg, white pepper, ground black pepper
Verdict: too spicy for her. White pepper and black pepper should be used separately.

Funny, I was just thinking about BF, and I found this in my inbox today. It's from www.askdrsears.com.
IS BREASTMILK NUTRITIONALLY USELESS AFTER ONE YEAR?
"I am looking for a source of good, non-biased scientifically backed-up info on certain aspects of breastfeeding/breastmilk, and was wondering if you could help.. My daughter has just turned one, and is still fixated on breastfeeding. Although I instinctively think this is probably OK, I could do with something to backup my feelings, and to help me with all the explaining I have to do! Amelia has always been an avid breastfeeder (as well as a highneed, non-sleeping baby), and took a while to take to solids. She now eats fairly well, although variably, and is able to chew, fingerfeed, drink from a cup etc. so I am not worried about her development in that way. I am concerned, however, that she will still be getting adequate nutrition from now onwards however as her diet is somewhat unpredictable, and at a recent visit to a pediatrician I was told that breastmilk is nutritionally useless after 1 year! I have read all sort of things from all sorts of websites, and could really do with some info that I can back up with 'science' or whatever it takes to convince people that what I am doing is OK. I am also assuming that her fixation with my breasts will recede with time, and that I am not encouraging problems by continuing to allow her to indulge in her favourite thing! ”
Regardless of what other people think, you will probably be breastfeeding your daughter for quite some time. It is still nutritious. Nothing magical happens to your milk at 1 year. Is your child malnourished? If your child does not appear malnourished to all these people around you, then it is none of their business what you are feeding her. You shouldn’t have to do all this “explaining”. I have many friends with younger kids, and I have no idea of what their kids eat – I guess I never really see them eat. Do you have to explain all the time because your 1 year-old is nursing in public all the time? If this is case, then maybe it would be wise to start setting limits with your daughter, such as “we only do nummies at home”. This worked well for our kids at this age. Let’s face it, it’s no fun to get all those disapproving stares at the mall.
Regarding scientific data, I have a feeling this won’t help you convince anyone of anything, but you could just tell them that the American Academy of Pediatrics new recommendation is this: “It is recommended that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mutually desired”. A “google” search will get you the full recommendations if you want to read them for yourself.

Dear Sir,
I'm a medical doctor and also a fully breastfeeding mom to my one year old daughter. I'm using Medela's Pump in Style Advanced since day 5 post partum and have been successful in exclusive and fully breastfeeding till now thanks to it.
I had a mishap when I dropped my power supply. The shop that sold me the pump (The First Few Years, Malaysia) didn't have any in stock. I went to Lactaequip Medical and the person there wasn't helpful.
1. Said I bought the pump from unauthorised Medela importer. Lactaequip is the only Medela authorised seller in Malaysia. She said my warranty is not under Medela, but only the shop that sold me the pump
2. The power supply was sold to me at MYR$240, double than what the other shop charged. But since I had no choice, I had to buy it. I checked on the website, it's only US$20. The exchange rate is only US$1=MYR$3.50.
3. I went to The First Few Years shop a month later, they have restocked, and they sold it for MYR$120. They apparently originate from Singapore, but they are situated in a busy shopping complex, and carries a wide variety of Medela products.
I am practising in a breastfeeding friendly clinic, and play an active role in promoting breastfeeding (counselling, giving talks). I promote Medela based on my friends and my own experience.
I feel cheated by Lactaequip Medical. And their unfriendliness bordering rudeness is uncalled for. Being ripped off for a simple item/not getting help, making me doubt how my patients would get spareparts/support for Medela pumps.
Please clarify regarding sale of Medela pumps in Malaysia, and if the prices are regulated.
Thank you.

Dear Dr Taha
I am sorry to hear about your problem and would like to apologize that you have not received a reply.

Point 1:Since the Medela guarantee is worldwide Lactaequip should handle warranty cases even if you buy the Medela product in a shop.
Point 2 + 3:We only give price recommendations to our distributors but have not influence in the pricing as different countries have different import costs, sales taxes etc.
However, I will ask Lactaequip to check if the price of MYR$ 240 is correct.
I will keep you informed.

Used the ribs (the last of the Qurban meat) and sup bunjut.Added potatoes and celery stalks.
Took some out before adding the salt and cili padi.
Had some leftover gravy.. so cooked it with shell pasta and mixed vegetables.
~ LO did have a taste of the meat after Mr. Daddy added cili padi (I didn't realise there were cili padi!). Pity Arianna, she sucked on 3 cubes of ice and mango to rid of the cili padi heat.
~ No tummy upset, thank God.

~ No tummy upset, thank God.
So many new things going on since she has passed her one year old mark.
She used to take 16-20 oz EBM over 9 hours (8 working hours, 1 hour of travelling to and fro). Once I had to prepare 28 oz for the 14 hours I'm away.
When she started solids, her intake reduced to just 12 oz ie 3 bottles during the day.
When she was 11 months, she was talking 8-10 oz (2 bottles)
At 12 months, down to 6-8 oz (2 bottles)
At 13 months, way down...
on Monday she took only 4 oz (threw 3 oz away)
on Tuesday, 2.5 oz
yesterday, 2.5 oz.
Let's see how much she takes today.
(I know the amount she's taking is significantly less than a FM fed baby, but looking at her growth chart, she's definitely not undernourished *read more on amount of milk)
All these while, my pumping session was only twice a day. I added a midnight pumping session during her growth spurts. However I've been pumping ZERO oz (not even a measurable half oz) in the past 2 days because of her cluster feedings throughout the night. I skipped this morning's pump (bad, bad)... plus I was late. Could this be reverse cycling?
Some weekends, despite being with me all the time, she doesn't demand for feed. I can't even force BF. She eats well though, so I'm not worried. She can BF at 10am, and only BF again after 5pm. I think she's reverse cycling, yippee. No stress on not pumping enough milk!

Simple title... broad topic.
This Kellymom link is for reestablishing lactation. I know some moms have used FM, only to realise that BF is the way to go. There are steps to achieve this, all is not lost. In this case, I know the father is keen for a breastfed baby (you know who you are)
no need to wake up and prepare a bottle
less colicky baby
better immunity for the baby (passive immunity)
easier on the pockets too!
Galactagogues are available (read more):
domperidone
metoclopramide
fenugreek
Of course not forgetting;
milkmaid tea
akar herbanika
urut
Urut or back massage has its role. I know it from medical point of view i.e. from Lactation Course, and also mak bidan's view. I must find this urat susu and the significant anatomy.

She has turned 13 months and getting bored. She wants to walk everywhere, so no more pretty dresses in the mall (don't want her to scrape her knees).
Since she loves the slide, we have to find a place, the outdoor one can be dirty after rainfall, and only when the weather permits. We tried out Kizsports. I'm thinking whether I'd want to have structured play there or Tumbletots. We are bringing her outdoors too, don't be mistaken. We've brought her to Lembah Kiara Park, Athinahapan playground. I love the fact that she loves the outdoor, but I want something indoor - something at home? Or our garden?

Ingredients for soup:
3 oz chicken - deboned

3 oz vegetables for soup (Emborg)
vegetable stock
~ Served it with brown rice
~ She doesn't like it: either the brown rice or the chicken (most likely suspect)
