Some people been asking me some kinda freak questions like...'aik, nyusu anak lagi ke?kan dah setahun lebih?' ' eh, sikitnya dapat, cukup ke tu?' ' ler, tak stop lagi ke???rajin benor' ....arrrgghhh...at this point, i can tolerate givin my boy pedia*sure for supplement, as he eat much, drinks fresh milk n milo much, but i do cant tolerate if i deny my self from givin him my breastmilk....
