Hi tingting,
Very siong rite!! Tat time when I am totally alone, I even got to carry my gal to toilet & do my business..haha..hope she dun mind my smell.. Now life is getting a bit better with my maid. We rotate shift in the daytime but nite I am totally alone to do the care for her.
Hi mybabydream,
My baby is a super sticky & cranky fellow & even my own mom oso commented tat she never seen such a notti one.
I simply cannot put her down & once I do, she cries! She always want ppl to carry her, walk around & sing song, so I eventually gets a baby carrier! Luckily she can doze off very fast when I put her in, so my hands are free to do my housework, buy/cook & take my meal. Can kill 2 birds at 1 stone. The only disadvantage is, when I want to remove her out from the carrier & transfer her to the cot, the velcro makes a loud noise & she wakes up very easily. Thus at nite, I dun use carrier & tat's the worst period of the day! She gets cranky easily than daytime due to colic. I can do the rocking, walking, singing from 7pm to the worst scenario of 3am when she's 2nd week old (I only engage a daytime CL)! Now she's so much better, and I am glad tat I only need to do tat for 1 to 2 hrs. Btw, do u give your baby gripe water every morn after bath? I think it helps a little for me. Of cos, baby cannot 24hrs stick to me. So when I really need to leave her for a moment, I will put her on the cot, tell her tat mummy is going away for a while & will be back very soon. Like tat, I won't feel so guilty when she crys.
Well, the thing is u really have to be patient with your baby & be more optimistic tat this is just a passing phase. Trust me, it will get better as times goes by, so just hang on it!
Re: Massage
Thanks Lib. I learned the massage all by theory but when it comes to real play, a bit lost. I heard baby after massage can sleep better rite?
Hi tulip,
I have already stopped bf, cos my workplace is not very motherly friendly for me to express milk. My 2mths+ gal is taking around 120ml-150ml of FM every 3 hrs.
