ok, so i cheated. i been drinking coffee secretly in the mornings when i start lesson at 7.30am. which amounts to about 4 cups per week. its those 3-in-1's nescafe intense coffee.
today, i didnt get my normal cup of coffee and guess what? my son went cranky. he didnt stop kicking and punching. i couldnt figure out why he was so distress. is it the horrible students, son? is it the breakfast cereals i had? was the milk too cold?
then it clicked. i had unwittingly weaned my son to caffeine. surely its not that signifigant until the baby is able to cultivate an addiction for it, right? but apparently, from those baby books and magazines i read, it sure can affect the unborn children. especially when it is the only form of 'drug' i take. the baby can develop a dependency on it, just like the mother!
now i must unwean my son from coffee. which means, no more coffee before work. and i cannot have a cuppa until after i am done with breastfeeding.
ok son, today is your absolute last cup. tomoro onwards its cold-turkey for you and me. and no amount of tantrums by kicking and punching will make me relent to giving in.
i think i might be on mc tomoro.
