hippo, sotong, gal, tien >> thanks for yr kind words of support. yeah..i lost the battle..white flags all over the hse. i may sound really tough on her at times thru my modified cry-it-out sessions but i suppose like all mums here, there's a limit u have with regards to hunger strikes, weight gain and overall development. just have to yield to these far more important aspects than trying to wrest the upper hand with her simply because i want to freely engage in work or other leisurely activities. nonetheless, must persevere in ensuring supply remains good. that is a tough one. imagine i am still forcing myself to wake up in the middle of the night to stick myself to the pump..and now that her feeding is dragging into longer intervals, at times she can feed only once in 5hrs, i get really confused abt whether to pump at the 3hr mark or wait and wait for her to give her i wanna eat signal. if i pump out and she gets hungry immediately after, i can die (she doesn't want the bottles)..haiz..really got to be a meteorologist to be mummy proper. i am still trying very hard and would say, ss levels are so iffy at times, i can panic lor..but otherwise, i've made peace with my decision..and i wish u gals with the same prb all the best and hopefully yr outcome isn't as extreme as mine.
puree/weaning >> this stage really scares me. am so pleased that GF recommends only from the 6th month...cos the later i can get her started, the happier i'd be. a case of, i don't wanna attempt something i am a total idiot of. by visualisation, it isn't so simple. for those who have read..i can't imagine latching audrey, stop halfway, feed puree and if she needs top-up..carry on with the babe's mouth full of puree remnants!!! astro..i think this is what u are trying to tell me. need to ask too..what happens when these fully latched babies develop teeth (though i don't expect this until much later since i am late in teething myself)? i've tried nipple shields and i got the same ditto result with her. wha biang..more cut nipples, bleeding and pain! i really gotta start an anti-latching movement..
fisting >> yah, we need such cute moments to even out the not-so-cute times
got cute pics of yr babies fisting away? hehehe...that'd make my day!
S-sized diapers >> i have one unopened pack of S-sized gooN diapers. the cutting is q big..but the thunder thighed babe of mine cannot wear them. make no mistake, only her thighs are big, the rest are kinda small. if anyone is interested, please PM me..can discount, giveaway free depending on my mood. most impt is that it doesn't go to waste. hehe...
loke >> i should be going to orchard this week. still working in which bldg? i will orbit near you and hand u the NUK.
