kirsten, i believe 4-6mths...some babies experience teething as a difficult time. I'm also prepared to have Ruth 'thrash around' nowadays. I can feel her teeth coming out liao (especially when she's almost falling asleep at the nipple and just CHOW down on it-i'll jump slightly). She also drinks abit less now - though she has always been doing 3oz every 2-3hours. Last time she finish very fast, nowadays she will eat n play..sometimes dun finish the last 20-30ml.
Daytime my mum (caregiver) says she hardly sleeps long. usually 15-30min then wake up liao.
I think babies will keep changing here and there...i'm generally not very alarmed at her changes cuz well, adults also have 'phases'/good or bad days etc, babies are human too. They also hve bad hair days mah.
My Ruth even has 'temper' periods - she dun wanna smile means dun wanna smile. Will just sulk. That's the only thing we're trying to correct that since it may be quite detrimental to her outlook on life if she always sulking. So when she sulk, we try to cheer her up and tell her dun be like that etc.
sunny..i don't see any redness..but i definitely feel the 'bite' - especially when i put part of my finger for her to 'chew' (she loves it cuz she can bite hard without fearing pain as opposed to when she bites her own finger).
Gar,
ya...Ruth isn't really bloated at all...but somehow already past the 7kg mark. I figure she will be quite 'big built' in future cuz i'm quite erm bigger than average myself and my hubby very tall.
i do hope she takes after my hubby's makan genes - eat n eat dun grow fat type, plus also his health genes - no bodyaches type. Rather than me...have to work very hard to keep fit...and always have many different bodyaches.
Sigh. anyone back to pre-preg weight? those who have slim down PAST pre-preg weight not counted arh.
me...sibei sian...still cannot wear pre-preg clothes. argh.
