Think 1st month hor I dun trust anyone. Better take care yourself. not even CL. Moreover if nursing then bb sleep beside you enough ma. then the diaper and all put nearby. If need you change. Then ask maid come and help clear up after every 2 hours or something while she bring you drinks and food. For me I heng cos hubby took lotsa leave almost everyday at home for at least half day. He cook me the confinement drink in the morning and some food. If he got meeting he teach the maid how to do. So i just feed and change and sleep with baby. very fast 1 mth over one la.

I think we should practice caution abt giving in to the whims of the child. My brother was rescued from N1 cos he cried too much. Parents thought, hmm maybe he's too young, give him some time to get used to the idea. in the end he N2 also dun want. Scream and scream. My parents thought give him some time K1 should be better. Same story so they thought never mind K2 should be ok. Then every time he screams and act pathetic, they withdraw him. So in the end he did not have any formal education til Primary 1. And he was enrolled into maris stella. Then he couldn't cope with the normal curriculum cos everyone could read and write somewhat by then but he has been at home in the care of the maid. To cut my loh soh story short, I think my parents taught my brother that as long as he throw enough tantrums, act pathetic enough, he can get his way.
This is not to say everyone will end up like him but I think we should decide what we want and be firm about it. If you think N1 ain;t necessary, then dun enrol him in the first place. If you think N1 is good cos it gives him the exposure earlier and gives him an edge over his peers then you have to be firm about it. Kids thrive best with consistency and we need to try our best to provide them that for them to learn the rules.
If it is any comfort to you, Thyler took more than a month to stop crying and standing at the door screaming for me. I went to peep at him more than once a day and it broke my heart to see him in that state. He was inside the classroom crying for me while i was outside the classroom shedding tears and all the while wanting to go in and carry him home. But I got to be firm. So after that 6 weeks he stopped crying and taking part in arts and crafts. And 3 mths for him to talk to anyone and make friends and take part in class discussions. But i am glad i made that decision cos I feel that he is more confident about himself. When i peep at him now, I beam with pride when I see him standing in front of the class telling story with a book.
