Hi Ladies,
So nice to see so many postings!
Iwantitvmuch,
Understand how you feel and thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think this is definitely one of the most stressful part of the adoption journey. the fear of not being able to connect with bb.
As for your friend's nasty comments, babylove is right, just ignore them and concentrate on your little bundle of joy.
As for the tits, Alice also gave me a 3 month tit as she felt that he had a hard time to drink his milk but when I tried, he almost choked as the milk flow was too fast! he was 1 month old then.
As for the stuffy nose, my boy has been having this pb since his birth. You can buy Sterimar from Guardian (or Watson). It is a saline solution that helps to clear mucus. It can be used for infant but it is a bit hard to use. you need to put the spray in her nasal and press on the spray. you would need your hubby to help you hold her head. The other thing that Blesswbb recommended to me was to use Ilidian 0.01% (infant). This is a congestant but can only be used for 1 week. Before giving this to your girl, it is better if you check with Alice whether she has already been given this to her. I have also bought a humidifier and switch on the air cleaner at night. I think my boy has sensitive nose. Do you think she has phlegm? does she have a hard time to breath at night?
If she starts to cough, it is better to see Dr as it could be a cold. But otherwise, my boy coughs when he swallows too fast. Just observe her and check also whether she has fever.
It is really stressful when we don't know what to do to make them feel better. At one point in time, he even had to sleep on his rocking chair because he could not breath well if he was lying down. May be you can try that as well.
Babylove,
nice to hear from you. contrary to you, I am not busy at office! that's why you can see my posts non stop!
Thanks for advice. i am already using a comforter and the bean pillow at night. What is this cloth cradle you mention? i try to google but can't find it.
Glad to read your bb enjoyed his cereal. your boy 5 months already! did you buy a bumbo seat? did he start crawling?
Yuli,
I remembered that post. When I was waiting for my boy, i kept on reading last posts to cheer me up. I also remembered I was really afraid that I will have no bonding with bb and kept asking questions! And both you and Blesswbb really gave me lots of support during that time. Thanks again to you and Blesswbb!
Good to hear my boy is not unique for his night feed. I hope he outgrows this stage quickly...
Yep, may be we could ask Alice! Great idea! ha ha ha..otherwise, I will be taking some leave in December so I could meet you on weekdays...but then, no hubby...which could be good as well..but then, no transport! can't have everything, right!
Janella,
Seems like each of us has different experience and I am sure you will find what is best for you.
Blesswbb,
Seems like I need to check FB for your new updates or your blog. My daughter was watching the video where you keep playing with her pacifier and she asked me to tell you not to do that! She was really concerned about your daughter as she was grumbling everytime you took the pacifier away...
