hi all
i am the other Jaime, haven post since my boy (Justin)was born but been reading all ur posts religiously but didnt really contribute. today my boy is exactly 3 months old, 13 weeks.
Mummy's milk
my boy loves his bottle, i am the opposite of mum whihc are on tbf getting their baby to accept the bottle. i have to coax my baby to latch coz ebm is a real hassle coz need to pump, sterilise feed. plus i have a few more weeks before returning to work, would prefer to tbf if possible coz could no longer do it when back at work.
my boy's feeding schedule
11.30am - latch
2.30pm - latch
5.30/6pm - latch
8.30pm -ebm 150ml
11pm - ebm 100ml if he is stil awake
5am -latch
8am-short latch to put him back to sleep
when i was on total ebm, it was 150ml x 5 + one latch in the middle of the night. i guess that's like 800-900ml per day - been like that since week 9/10.
Problems:
a) losing his hair on the back of the head..maybe will shave all if it becomes unsightly
b)little bit of cradle cap remaining- using the dentinox cradle cap shampoo once every 2 days
c)doesnt really nap well in the day...the most half hour per nap but its getting longer as he grows older
d)how do u all put ur babies to sleep at night..my boy gives me the impression he doesnt like to be put to bed, also resist me putting him to sleep at night. some gd days..once he feeds he wil fall asleep while burping..the bad days..its take 2hours to make him go to sleep
e) his mild colic/gassiness..i want to think its getting better coz doc says after 3 month, his gassiness will reduce due to maturity of his organs etc coz have finish 2 bottle of colic drops already..
other than that, when he is fed n enough of sleep he is a happy, smiley baby
kudos to all mum who made it this far..n its only the beginning
as for me, i lost all my pregnancy weight n went another 3 kg below my pre pregnancy weight..however the pouch n stretch marks are still there
...using clarin body shaping cream, have a binder but never really use
here's a pic of my Justin
