hi all,
been mia for pretty long time. Have relocated to the states with my boy and hub. Been settled here for 3 weeks already. Cool weather.
My boy is now 11 weeks old. Next week is officially 3mths old. He is now weighing in about 5.2kg and about 57cm. He seems to have a little "milk strike" and "milk surge" on different days. Sometimes he wants 160ml, sometimes he couldnt even finish 60ml. Hmm..but i let him be as long as he is growing and sleeping well.
Now my boy sleeps from 6pm to 2am, then wakes up for 1 feed and then sleeps to 6am. I am pretty happy that my hub and i often have evening and night privacy to ourselves. This can only happen in states where most kids and babies must be in bed by 7pm. My boy in sg hardly sleeps and he only can sleep at 11-12mn as our neighbour is often so noisy and its hot.
Perhaps here is cool at indoor of 21-23 degrees, he sleeps very well, most impt is very quiet.
But of cos, my son does have some temper nowadays, when he cant fall asleep on his own, i have to cuddle , rock or carry him in my arms and walk ard too. But its only for a while, unless he is super cranky.Once he feels drowsy, i put him on the bed next to our bed. We dun co-sleep, he still sleeps on his own bed, but near enough to be able to see him as we are afraid of him flipping or suffocating. SID (Sudden Infant Death) is very common and so we must be very cautious. I am a very light sleeper, any little noise he makes, i immediately wakes up and take a look.
I think those who have my facebook are able to see my pics.
How are the rest of you, seems like many of you are doing pretty well.
Maids: its scary to have maids, Its like a heng or suay thing like CL. If you get a good one then Halleluyah.For me, i think i rather quit my job and be a ft housewife, i rather not risk anything that concerns my boy. Yup, financially might be tougher , but its better this way. At least, the child will have a mummy at home, rather to have someone else be the 'replacement mummy".
strawberry: should published the story EVERYWHERE..haha..stomp, straits times, Lian he zao bao, wan bao...New Paper..blah blah...terrible agent, so irresponsible!
