What a lifestyle! ~ Carrie Chai

u r abt 7 weeks old now, n amazingly, a very mummy friendly routine is developed... last time, i only can get envoious of other pple experiencing this but this time, hahahahaha... over the last 3 nights, ur last feed is at abt 2000 n u slept thru till 0500.. hahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahah........... too bad, i got to wake up at 0200 to express milk or else, hee hee.. imagine i can sleep thru the night! Not sure if this is going to be a permanent gift from u but thanks .. 4 the wonderful 3 nights! Anyway, this is how u lived ur life @ 1-2 mths old.. Drink milk, rest, coos, looks at mobile, cry a bit, sleep, wakes up, change diaper.... Drink milk, rest, coos, looks at mobile, cry a bit, sleep, wakes up, change diaper.... Drink milk, rest, coos, looks at mobile, cry a bit, sleep, wakes up, change diaper.... "Exciting" rite!!

The mobile

U love the mobile (sponsored by Auntie Kathleen~meh2 and Shu2).. U would look at it, stare at it and when u r abt 5 weeks old, u started cooing to it. I remmebered ur first 'a goo goo' was first heard by meh2 and nai2, it's on the 210309, the day shu2 just returned fr Thailand, the day he first met u:) but ur favourite mobile would fail to attract u when u r hungry.. usually when u r well fed, u would be left in the rocker to enjoy ur mobile, if there's no major dis comfort, u would usually dozes off:P Yeah!

Breast feeding

2nd time mum.. first time full time breast feeder.. been seeking help from fellow mummies, aunties min had been giving very useful tips though she herself is a first time mummy.. thanks to all the aunties, I actually became ur only food source from 120209. Breastmilk suppose to do u a lot of good but i will only know its benefits as u grow older, hopefully, u r stronger. But bcos of the breastmilk, u r experiencg some allergic reactions to some stuff i eat. So, i am staying off coffee and seafood mainly, if it dun works, i will hv to stay of eggs, wheat, nuts, soy etc etc.. Just like what auntie Jo said, just got to express religiously 3 hrly.. so, the timing goes like tt .. 0530, 0830, 1130, 1430, 1730, 2100, 0200 daily n each session takes abt 30-45mins.. i wonder how long i will last, for ur sake, at least 6 mths k!:) E supply is largely determined by how much i eat too.. the moment i cut down on carbs, the milk supply also goes down, luckily, mumy do hv enuf 4 u (some 4 gor gor) but definitely not in abundance. i tries latching u on a few times but was hestitate myself cos u alr gotten into a 4 hr feed cycle. The few times i latched u on, i ended up with a sore nipple, the nipple always appears half flatten. it's poor position and u r definitely not properly latched on, so i stopped trying.. Hv decided to give u bottled breastmilk all the way .........
