hello everyone, today I'm working from home cos my menses came, stomach cramp and having headache at the same time. Anyway, today nothing much to do. Hehe..
jo, maybe you try changing his teats to a faster flow? I started my boy on Avent No. 4 teats liao. Yesterday he went back to normal, feeding about 800-900ml. Usually when he doesn't want to drink, I'll make him sleep with his pacifier(sometimes in the hammock), then when he sleeps liao, I'll feed him while he's sleeping. If he doesn't drink still, I'll wait for another 5-10mins and try again. Usually by the 3rd time, he will drink and finish the milk. Maybe you can give it a try, if you don't have hammock, can try rocker else carry him till he sleeps then try. But recently, my boy will drink even when he's awake, think he feels hungry.
Lynn, my boy didn't wake up for a few weeks at night. But these few days, he kept waking up at 3+am liao, think maybe growth spurt again, sigh.. Hopefully tonight, he can sleep through. Don't know when to start him on rice cereal also cos when he sees us eat, he kept drooling.
Tracie, I also don't like pumping, so tiring. How I wish, I can sleep early and wake up later. Still got another 7 months more before I can stop. Can't wait... Anyway, you dare to drink back your milk ar? eee... Hubby tried before said not nice. Yucks..
Gina, I also tried bringing Matthias into the toilet before. Cos Mal went to work, then I alone at home and my maid is outside of my room doing housework, then Matthias cried when I was about to do big business, then bo bian, quickly went out and carried him in, he so happy. Then after I finished cleaned up abit, washed hands, and quickly put back in the bed and go back to the toilet to clean up.
Kelcqi, you can try bring Erica to the toilet with you next time if she cries when you want do big business. Think it's normal ba if you don't want her to cry so much. Cos Matthias will keep fussing and crying if he don't see anyone around him. When we walked away from him sometimes, he will also scream.
I think breastfeeding is a routine for us liao, so perhaps when your hubby ask u to stop, u don't like to hear that cos it's a intimate thing for you and your baby mah. but I heard from a mummy before when u stop breastfeeding, stop pumping, u will feel very lost one. Cos you always remember the time you pump and how much you pump, stuff like that. Sometimes I hope to stop, sometimes I hope I can breastfeed longer. Contradicting indeed..
felval, did you try putting your boy to sleep on his tummy? Cos I think if sleep on tummy, head won't be so flat. Else think let him sleep in sarong lo. My boy's head initially also flat cos he sleeps on his back, then when he was 1+ mth old, we let him sleep on his tummy and hammock only, so his head not flat liao. But my boy's head still got the lump there cos of the forceps, haiz.. Don't know when then will disappear. I think you have to adjust him to sleep on his right side lo, if not next time head not nice, then go army shave botak not nice. Haha..
