*****Mittens & Scratches*****
All mummies here surely can understd my heartache when i saw his scratch, esp when it was discovered in the wee hrs during his feed. i was so shocked to see the deep cut and awoke my hb to show him. and can tell u all tt it was literally heartache too! felt my heart go sng sng...
and i dun like to let him wear mittens coz his hands will smell oso... coz his fingers quite bah bah, i realised in b/w his fingers, he will trap some dirt, so i will wipe in b/w twice a day to prevent smell.

if i were u, i wld hv slammed the stupid gynae for saying the sentence "its only for 5 days"!!!! HELLO!!! what an insensitive sentence. obviously she does not understd how a mummy feels. i wld hv gone to another GP or even back to my gynae/PD to make sure the medication is safe 4 bfg, unless my condition is so serious tt i really cant BF while under medication, then its another different story.
Anyway glad tt Damien is growing healthily and v adorable!

his nails not tt long, juz tt babies hv this amazing habit to scratch themselves though their nails r so short!!!! i hv to watch him v closely when he is not wearing mittens and he starts touching his face.

so these few days is training for u to b away fr Rhys when u go back to work ah... sigh, sure will miss ur boy lor. i bet i will oso...
yah i prefer to let him go w/o mittens oso... usually when we go aircon plcs and when he sleeps at nite, his mittens will b on. else he ends up scratching himself again.
ur Rhys v cute now hor!!!
eh its gd tt at least he has some papa and mama time preference. at least daddy can feel he is impt and special too. my hb is slowly getting used to coaxing R as well.

u cut Caleb's nails while in the car????!!!! Steady leh! i usually try to do it when R is asleep. but tt day when i cut both his fingers, he was not sleeping but i was desperate to trim it in case he scratches himself again. who noes, he din scratch himself but his silly mummy hurt him instead.
oh similac was alrdy v exp then ah...

OMG! tt was a pretty bad scratch oso!!
aiyah nite feeding still not fixed 4 my boy. his last feed is ard 9-10pm, aft which he will wake up ard 1+ to 2.30am. then aft tt hor, erratic cycle again. sometimes he wakes up aft 2 hrs, at times 3 hrs.
i dunno when will he ever wake up only once a nite. but i doubt its anytime soon coz he is a small drinker. cant tahan so long w/o feeds.
wah most mummies here hv their babies not wakin up so frequently at nite liao. how abt Coral? Charlotte's drinking cycle any better?

heee so funny! at times i am oso like u. switching sides to feed baby until in the morning when i wake up, i cant rem how many times i fed him! hahahaha
but i think it din matter as long as baby din cry (meaning he is not hungry). but nowadays i seldom lie down and latch unless i am super tired. usually i will still get up to latch him coz at least i noe he is drinking.

take gd care & get well soon.
dun think abt unhappy things liao.

yah tt scratch was extremely near to the near area. in fact it was so near so near when u pull down the lower eye lid (mayb juz a few mm away)... really heartpain man.
R only took Similac tt time when he was in the phototherapy session. i went home to rest and express BM. so meanwhile he had 2 servings of the milk. since then, he has not touched FM anymore. wonder how he will take to it now.
hahahahaha! so funny! the way u describe similac's rocketing price!!!
