Lil' Rainbow will turn 17 months old soon am I'm proud to say that I still bf her ... Though she REALLY tends to cling on for hours, especially during afternoon naps and wakes up every 2 hours at night .... Eek!
Find myself having body aches from lying on one side too long and the fact that she tugs at times when she's dozing off or trying to get comfortable.
I had a super duper headache last weekend and could barely open my eyes.
I literally had to lie down and sleep it off after downing 2 pills.
Lil' Rainbow was such a darling as she seemed to understand that I was in pain.
She visited me in the room from time to time, standing by the bedside and called out for me.
When I looked at her, she smiled and played with her toy, not once climbing onto the bed and wanting to disturb me.
I had no energy to even sit and kept apologizing to her.
She went her merry way to find Daddy to play with.
It was the first time ever I've experienced such pain.
I decided to get a traditional massage.
I was told that since I lay on one side too long, it affected my womb and true enough, when my tummy was massaged, I could feel a slight pain on the left-side.
She applied subtle pressures at first and slowly worked her way around my tummy.
After awhile, walla! No more pain!
She told me to rotate sides when I bf and not stay on one position for too long.
Moreover, since it has been quite some time that I had actually gone for a massage, she told me to get at least monthly massages so that I feel better since I've already developed a severe headache.
For me, getting a full body massage is my way of being pampered and I'm a happy mother already!
