Good morning ladies!!
Yoyosan - now getting abit of running nose, maybe cause I kept going under the fan and into the aircon room when I am persipring...will try to refrain from doing that now. The wound hurts when sneezing!! And Yes!! when I see the baby cry, I will check the time, if its feeding time, will feed him, if not, then I will check diaper and see if its soiled. This boy hor, once diaper got poopoo, he will be uncomfortable...but I can understand lar. The night before, he refused to sleep! Woke up at 2.30am and start kicking a fuss and refused to sleep until 5.15am...my maid, mum and I all did not get to sleep and try our ways to appease him, until we bo bian, put him in the sarong, then he go to bed. So yesterday, the whole day, I kept waking him up every 3hrs to feed him eventhough he did not cry and try not to let him sleep so much during the day. In the end, last night he was better. Woke up at 2am once and 4+once for milk and went back to sleep after a while. So I guess its possible to let them learn how to differentiate betw day and night....will try that again today and see if it cont. to works tonight.
Bear - thanks for the encouragement!! I will hang in there...its not easy having a baby...now I am really lack of sleep le.
Haru - yes, I am doing 100% expressing and by hands...keke...its actually very easy and relaxing. Like Dymples say supply = demand, so the more times you express, the more there will be. But I lazy, some more baby is a heavy drinker, so I need to supplement with formula. I am only expressing every 3hrs or when I feel my breast getting engorged.
Sunshinekid - using hands very easy one lar...keke...wont spray all over the place...just aim properly and squeeze lor. Its actually very easy and convenient, cause just need to bring empty bottles when I go out, no need to bring any pump, best of all, its so much less painful then using pump / latching on (for me lar, cause I dont know how to latch on properly due to inexperience).
Gladgal - actually, I find hand expressing faster as compared to using manual pump lay...dont know abt electrical pump lar. When I compare the amt I express using pump and hands, I got more milk when I express with my hands in the same amt of time. I know how you feel when the bb dont sleep at night!! I exprienced it the night before, if not because of my mum, I think I will break-down man!! Simply dont know what the bb wants and the best thing is that when you put him on the bed, his eyes wide open and looked at you...faint! You know there is no way he is going to sleep le...kicking up a fuss even when we try to feed him...sigh...my mum was telling me last time when we were in the first month, the whole night we also dont want to sleep de, in the end, she also did not get to rest during her confinement.
Brocoli - I was abt to tell you!! Realised our 2 Jaydon / Jadon are abv 4kg...keke...so qiao hor!! God really has heard and I am really thankful when I see Jadon. The sense of gratefulness can never be explained...and to think that I didnt even want to have a kid in the first place!
