My lovelies

Hello, awesome mothers in this Wonderful community.
Happy women's day to all of us. I wish us happiness and more beautiful experiences as mothers.

I've been on and off for sometime due to my very busy schedule.
I'm very pleased to write here today being inspired after reading the post of a friend here. to talk about my experience as a mother and my funny breastfeeding journey.
It's a general truth that children are different and you can't predict the next baby based on the previous.

My love for children is so great, I don't know how it started but it has grown over the years and when I had my first child in 2017, I just don't want to see any child hurt. I love them endlessly.
I'm blessed with two lovely kids, a boy and a girl respectively. My boy is six years old and my baby girl is two years old. Both of them are my besties. They are so alike and so different.

When I had my son, the journey was really pleasant. Though, I prepared myself so much for it. I read a lot of books and things on the internet. And there is this app (baby center) I used then to track baby's growth and development. I enjoyed the journey that I even had a journal. On the day of my delivery, it came as a surprise to my neighbors when they heard I had given birth because we spoke few hours to that time.

My baby girl was no different except for the fact that she could kick all day she was too active. When I went for the last scan before I put to bed, the doctor said I should be way prepared before my EDD that she (my bay) may not wait till then. Truly, she came 15 days before the due date.

I believed so much in exclusive breastfeeding and extended breastfeeding, and I made sure I breastfeed my children exclusively for six months. I breastfeed my son for one year and six months and I decided to breastfeed my daughter for two years but I fell sick when she was one year and seven months. I was admitted at the hospital and my mother inlaw took my baby away for two weeks so I could stop breastfeeding her. I almost cried my eyes out but everyone said it's for my good so I could get better on time. She is going to three years now, at times, she still sucks at night.

My boy is the very calm one. Very patient and calculated. He wants to save every money he gets and he is very interested in spelling every new word he hears now. Spelling gives him a lot of joy. And he is always ready to help me out in the kitchen.

My baby girl loves to sing a lot. She is very playful and picks on her brother all the time. She is such a happy girl and her laughter is contagious.

I'm really glad I breastfeed them well. They are healthy and very smart.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you. I would love to read your comments.
Yours truly @aunty-tosin 💕💕

I also breastfed my children, and they have really grown up being very healthy, and they always exceed the expectations of their educators, I would like to believe that it is because of what the books say about the effect on brain formation that occurs when sucking.
I do not criticize those who decide to formula feed, because each case is unique, but I also know mothers who have opted for that option out of vanity and I do not agree with them.

Yes!
Each case is unique but mothers who do not breastfeed out of vanity is not ideal to me. I spoke to a friend of mine to breastfeed her son exclusively but she refused and did it her way.
I did what I think is best for my kids.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate.
