I did not really believe that exclusively breastfed babies will be chubby until I saw Elaine’s baby JL. Now that I am exclusively breastfeeding Baby C, I can see her grow chubbier by the days. I did not realize that she already has ‘lotus roots’ hands (which make me want to squeeze and bite them!) until I saw this pic which I snapped this morning. From chicken feet like legs and dolls like arms, Baby C now has lotus roots like hands and legs!
Read more about her long ‘manicured’ finger nails here.
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

wow…seeing that would surely encourage you to continue bf and do your best as long as possible…keep it up, Shireen :p
my twins sped up in growth bwteen 1 months to 9 months. becoming more and more fei chai as i breast fed in rugby or american football position each time at first. Then as they grow bigger, my hands also got more fatique and i had to adjust and breastfed individually. Sometimes I even forgot which one I fed oredi. i had to tie a red string on one of the twins’ wrist to differentiate them. Baby C will certainly continue to grow heavier. make sure u strestch ur wrists and elbows before expressing milk or carrying her or else u’ll end up like some of my patients who develop Carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness over the wrist joint) or tennis elbow. Take care
