Today baby is finally stepping into his 3rd month and tomorrow I need to take him to check it up and also getting his first shots.
Being having problem with my breast, the milk is not coming smoothly and I can feel there are hard spot inside my breast, using hot bath and hot towel to sooth those hard spot. It is very painful. I am not sure I could last 6 months are I original planned of feeding my baby. But I still need to at least do 3 months as the antibody is rich during the first 3 month. I guess we have to wait and see...:(
Planning to add solid food as soon as the fourth month starts, searched on line and found this in QQBB, and then some more is this website.
