On Sunday November 26 Rafic breastfed for the last time. He breastfed for 3 min and went to sleep. I was preparing him a week ahead that soon the milk will finish and that he is big now to drink milk from the breast.
This is a big milestone for us. I was preparing myself and Rafic to fully stop breastfeeding.

I would always read other moms post about weaning and would always wonder why are they so emotional 🥹. I get it now. No matter how much you are prepared, you are never prepared to say goodbye to the bond that you have❤️. I cried as I recognized that Rafic wont be breastfeeding anymore and it will be his last time, our last time breastfeeding. I am grateful for these 25 month, happy that i got to give Rafic the best nutrition and happy to all the supermoms who were with me in this journey.

Habibi Rafic i will always be proud that i breastfed you for 25 month!25 month of love, and bonding that i will forever cherish in my heart forever. You will forever be my baby boy❤️❤️❤️

To all the moms who just gave birth and feel that breastfeeding is taking too long or that it wont end. It will fly, time will fly and when you stop you will miss it, you will really miss it.
If you are a mom ready to wean you can always book your weaning consultation

It’s been one month! The death toll is on the rise and still no action to ceasefire. According to there are 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza with no access to healthcare
Ceasefire now!
Our hearts and prayers go to the people of Gaza💔💔

I can’t believe 2 years have passed. 2 years since i gave birth. This year i saw you grow tremendously infront of my eyes and I saw you achieve alot of milestones. You talked, you walked and you became independent, something that i once never imagined would happen.
Thank you for teaching me so so much, and to more years of learning and growing. Remember No matter how much you grow and be independent i will always be by your side
Happiest birthday my love , may you achieve more milestones w inshallahh kel ayemak helwe❤️

Situations and people that we will not forget❤️❤️
The people of Ga❤️za are in our hearts and in our prayers forever.

As most of my platform is followed by pregnant moms and moms, i know how difficult this situation is and how stressed you can be.
For me i am trying to decrease my stress in several ways which include.
-Journaling
-Taking a break from the news every now and then
-Taking a walk
-Spending time with my family and son
-Talking and expressing my feelings with the people close to me

Tell me, how are you coping?Maybe some ideas can help us all!

Here are a few snack ideas for your little ones! 👶🏻
1-watermelon and cheese hydrating in this weather and has protein
2-bananas and avocado
3- corn with some olive oil and lemon
4-chickpeas with some olive oil and lemon
5-fruit salad 🤤
6-greek yogurt and fruits

Have you tried any of these? Let me know❤️

When i was 18 i would imagine myself turning 25! And i would say “wen ma32oul koun”. Then I turned 25 and said i cant imagine myself 30 and here i am celebrating 31 with my family.

If you still dont know i dont like getting older i am actually scared of it. I don’t like change and iam actually a bit tough on myself because every year that passes by i ask myself what have I achieved? Can i do better?

For this year i want to try and change my mentality because iam sure that im doing my best bd spite somethings that i wasnt able to do.

So my message for you today is go easy on yourself, you are doing your best and you have time and hopefully you will be able to achieve whatever you put heart into

A big thanks to for this delicious cake.Loved the design ❤️

Taking a photo with a toddler is seriously mission impossible! Well at least we were smiling 😂

Do you agree?

Adha Mubarak from our family to yours ❤️❤️

Celebrated 3 years of marriage with this handsome man today❤️❤️
Grateful and blessed for having a best friend, a husband, a partner and a great father.

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years feel like yesterday.
How long have you been married for?

Wedding vibes 💫
It’s always worrying to leave Rafic as he still doesn’t sleep without breastfeeding
But it was also a good change to be honest as we are stuck in the same routine everyday

Tell me how do things go when you leave your children?
Do you worry or feel bad?

These pictures are from our visit to dino city and i want to share my experience because i know that this happens with every parent.
As you can see Rafic is eating a croissant and drinking orange juice. Actually this was Rafic’s first time drinking juice he saw all his other friends drinking and he requested to eat and drink with them.
My reply was:”sure”
Because simply having juice during occasions wont let ur teeth decay or wont make them addicted to juice.
Does that mean that i offer juice in our everyday meal plan. No i never get juice boxes to our home because i dont want this to be in our regular diet.
This is not me telling you that you should give your baby sugar and juice
This is me telling you that if it happens twice per year it is really okay
And actually this is how we build a healthy relationship with food for children ❤️

A reminder that the american academy of pediatrics recommends no fruit juice before the age of one and for children between the age of 1-3 years only 120 ml( half a cup) to be given by open cup and not bottle!
Now tell me when was the first time you gave juice to you children?

هذه الصور من زيارتنا لدينو سيتي وبدي شارك تجربتي لأنو بعرف إنو هيدا بصير مع كل الأهل.
متل ما شايفين رفيق عم يأكل كرواسون ويشرب عصير . كانت هيدي أول مرة بقدم عصير لرفيق ، شاف كل أصدقائه الآخرين عم يشربوا ، وطلب أن يأكل ويشرب معهم.
و أنا قلتلوا : "أكيد"
لأنو اذا شرب العصير خلال المناسبات مش حيسوسوا اسنانو و ما حيصيرو مدمنين على العصير.
مش عم قلكن انو لازم تعطوا العصير لأولادكن بس عم قلكن انو اذا صارت
مرتين في السنة ما باثر
بالعكس هيدي هي الطريقة يلي منبني فيها علاقة صحية مع طعام الأكل ❤️

تذكير بأن الأكاديمية الأمريكية لطب الأطفال تنصح بعدم تناول عصير الفاكهة قبل سن الواحدة وللأطفال بين سن 1-3 سنوات فقط 120 مل (نصف كوب) تعطى بكوب مفتوح وليس زجاجة!
الآن أخبرني متى كانت المرة الأولى التي أعطيت فيها عصيرًا لطفلك؟

3a2bel el 100 senneh ❤️

Same setting different year March2022⏭️ March 2023
Last year we seated Rafic with us on the table despite that he still did not start eating because we wanted him to be involved

This year will also do the same for sure but he will be eating with us 😍
This is the number one tip that i give to parents during my solid food introduction session and for moms of picky eating babies

Eating should be fun and it should be an activity your child should be involved in the food preparation process and he should see you eat because you are his biggest role model.
Please always remember that. Food shouldn’t be a battle it should be a happy time were the child enjoys the environment and the food❤️❤️

Tell me does your baby sit with you on the table?

Ramdan kareem 🌙

These past 2 years were not easy.
Between getting pregnant giving birth and taking care of our baby our relationship suffered and was put to the test.
We had zero time for ourselves let alone each other.
Despite everything we made it and as i look back i can feel how much our relationship got stronger
This man has been with me during all this hardship and never gave up on me during my lows
Iam forever grateful to have him by my side and Rafic is lucky to have him as a father❤️
I love you Aloush
Happy valentines my forever valentine
