mummies,
went 4 a 2nd opinion just now cos i dun trust my gynae who basically just gave me ventolin n monitor w/o explaining or running any tests 4 me.
so glad i went! tis one chked my cervix w a vaginal probe (not like my gynae, used FINGER!) n cfm tt my cervix is still thick n of avg length, at no risk o opening up at all. bb Barry is perfectly fine. he oso did a swap test 4 me to chk 4 vaginal tract infection (all these my gynae nv did). e results will b out in a few days. he tinks it shld b infection which will oso lead to premature labour. he said it's perfectly fine 4 me to carry on doing my chores and taking care o mandy!
YIPEE! poor mandy dun haf to suffer anymore! she's been acting so weird and looking so troubled lately, like being forced to grow up suddenly. now i can sayang her more.
e gd ting is tt my mum n her r so close now.
we'll still ask our mums to come over to bond w her n learn how 2 take care o her, to prepare 4 e coming o barry.
aiyo, so happy i can move more freely now!
fizz,
mb u try turning off e tv? when i 1st started her self feeding training, i found tt once mandy has any distractions, she won't focus on her food. if they can't focus on their food, they won't wanna self feed. mb clear all his toys etc so tt they're outta sight and turn off any tv etc tt'll distract him?
now tt mandy is used to treating mealtimes as well, mealtimes, she can still self feed and eat n nt get distracted when e tv is on. but i dun do tt lah (unless at our mum's place)
self feeding really really helps a great deal in her food intake. now she eats all her meal by herself, except milk lah....
n she eats much faster n more too!
mummies,
4 feeding, mandy sometimes like to use diff bowls n spoons to eat. when she's gotten sick o her munchkin plate, i'll gif her a bowl den switch bk n so on. she eats happily lidat.
