dun worry on the qns la.. jus throw them to me den i help to ans u when i can
my ger sleeps with me and hubby since day one
unless either one of us is sick den we will ask her to slp with the maid to avoid her catching the germs from us coz for me and hubby, since both of us are working every day so once we get bac to home, we will take over the bb from the maid already as (1) to let the maid relax for a while and (2) to create bonding time with our ger and us
this is to avoid her being too close to the maid oso lor, coz i noe some parents back from work den very tired n etc hence they dun play or mingle with their child tat much hence the child sticks the caregiver like leece lor which i dun want it to happen to me.. call me selfish la.. hee.. i dun care lor coz its my daughter and i wil get jealous lor!! LOL
im quite lucky to be blessed with this little gem of mine who does not wake up for nite feeds at all after her full month.. even when after we are back at home from hospital, she wil drink her last milk at 11+pm den the next feed is 4+ already den i slowly stretch further den by full month, no more nite feed
bb is as lazy as the daddy lor.. always SLP SLP & SLP!!
i think for u sungrapes, i advise u to state to the maid agency tat u need an experienced maid and its very impt especially one which can handle infant well so tat she can guide u along instead of wat u said as in the blind leading the blind at the end of the day.. u shld learn to relax oso my dear.. we all oso learn as we go along so dun be frustrated nor stress now at bb handling issues
u are doing great now!! when u are free, as in bb slping n etc.. jus read some books like What u are expecting when u expect n etc.. where u can learn more things on bb handling n etc or surf the net for info
back to maid issue, coz i did a call interview with my maid before i hired her and i did made it clear to her tat she has to learn to handle a 2 months old bb at tat point of them so i asked her to think carefully if she can handle or not? so as to avoid wasting each other time.. den when i went to 'collect' her from the agent when she arrived from Phil, the moment she saw my ger.. she requested to carry and i can see from the way she carry the infant, she knows how to carry and etc so i was pretty relieved liaoz.. when ur maid comes along, u need to observe every single thing abt her.. hygiene, way of handling bb, behaviour and attitude lor and anything u dun feel good, mus voice out to her already and give her some time to adapt.. at least half a yr to be truthful coz they come from a not so advanced country as in they come from mainly those small little province not Manila most of the time so they mite not be so fast in their work pace coz in Sin is real fast for them to catch up lor..
den as for my ger coz she dun wake up for nite feeds but i told her if she ever hears bb wake up in the middle of nite, she must wake up to find out wat happened oso even if we are all around and it oso applys to every single day.. dun ASSUME tat someone is attending den jus ignore coz we mite need help oso.. attention mus be given to the child at all times lor
this mus state clearly if not some maid mite think.. orh.. my employer is there in the room so i can dun go la.. ignore lor.. *faint*
abt ur boy's relux issue, maybe u shld not feed him so much at a time as in maybe jus let him drink 20ml den burp him first den continue den burp n etc.. try this first.. slowly.. and pls dun feel tat u are useless leh.. u are not lor!! ur boy needs u more den anyone else so u mus stay strong~
