Hello mummies!
So much to catch up!
Like most of you, I take care of baby myself, my mum and mil takes turn to come and cook. Hubby will help sometimes.
First 2 nights without CL was bad, I hardly slept. When I showered him with CL around, he never make a single cry.. but yesterday he cried so hard till I felt so angry... He did not sleep much too. On the 2 nights, he only wanted to be carried. On our 2nd day, we bought baby to PP. He behaved the best when we were out. At night, don't know what happen to him, he just couldn't get to sleep and cried so much. I was so afraid he has colic. we applied ru yi oil, burp him, sing to him.... take turn to carry him but he was inconsolable. Then I told my hubby, he was prob hungry and indeed. I feed him 60ml of EBM cos he was only about 1.5 hours away from his last feed. Scared overfed him. He was finally calmed. 1.5 hours later, he cried for hunger again. This time I fed him with 60ml FM. He went back to sleep. And this time it lasted him 3 hours. So relief, it went back to normal... I broke down and cried so hard on the 2nd night, due to stress and weariness. My hubby had to coax a 2nd baby. Hubby has to be away for away for a week, so he called my mum and MIL to come over and look after me so that I can look after baby.. haaa!
Today was the 3rd day. I must say I have picked up a little in reading him. He also did not cry during his bathing time. I want to give him a little star for today!
Freedom
Agginess: Give ourselves some time to adjust. At this point of time, all of us are stucked with their crankiness. Hang in there. I have friends, some with 2 children who still manage to find some private time. Good luck to your search for a good helper.

Diaper
TMC provides Fitti, my baby is ok with it.
