Hunger Strike

Weaning Wen off the breast is so difficult. She kept rejecting bottle and throw tantrum whenever it's milk time. Even ah ma feed oso dun want liao. So garang...sometimes even go on hunger strike for 2 feeds, after much pacifying then entertain you drink 3oz. Of course I'm worried cos going back to work in 2 weeks time. Guess just have to be patient and console myself saying next month will be better. Worst still, she'll turn to the breast of that person carrying her. So embarrassing!!

I have went to net for solutions and even consulted friends who breastfeed. I have bot many different types of teats and she likes NUK latex one at the moment cos it resembles the shape and texture of a real nipple, shall keep my finger cross. Dunno which brand is next??? It doesn't matter so long that she can finish her milk. Tat's my top priority now.

We even have different people to feed her, it seems that she enjoy daddy feeding her right now. Daddy will be very proud each time Wen finishes the bottle. He will say nothing can beat the "invincible carry carry feed feed method". No wonder Wen enjoys lah, carry in arms, pace up & down and feed at the same time. She really know how to tekan daddy. I've tried that method too, it really works!

Bye bye Mittens & Booties

I get to eat different 'drumstick' today. Mummy said they are fingers and began singing me finger song. I can feel and touch the toys around me and in the playpen. Thumbkin is my best fren, I'll always bring her to sleep. Hmmm....delicious!

Mummy said my feet stink, maybe was covered up for too long. See, you should have removed my booties earlier! It's much airy now. Wuhoo...

My Reflections

This is the first time I saw a mere 1.5months old baby laughing out loud. Ya, it's my Wenzel. It's so sweet to hear her laughter. She is full of funny noises when she's asleep in the night. I love holding her tiny hands and feet. They are sooo cute.

Feeding her with bottle is so difficult. Din expects a baby to have preference at such a young age. Feeding time is like battle time. We are always brainstorming of different ideas to counter her new tricks. She dun like to be carried while drinking and only allows ah ma to feed her using bottle at the moment, some more must be lying on bouncer. Dunno what's next coming up???

First Jab

Wen went for her first 6-in-1 jab today @kidslink Clinic. Well, how I wish I could take over her place. She's so tiny and helpless but to obey what adults do. If not for these are compulsory jabs, I'll definitely give it a miss. No choice lah since it is supposed to benefit her and make her strong.

Though she only whimpered slightly after the jab was inserted, it broke my heart seeing her cry. The whimper came about 5 seconds after the jab, some kinda delayed reaction. The cry was interrupted by some distraction from the toys in the clinic. Phew, 2 more jabs to go!

Luckily she dun have fever after that cos it's not easy to feed her medicine. The nurse told us to give her 2 doses and stop if no fever. We have tried to feed 1 dose but she spit out the medicine after it was administered into her mouth. Yes, she SPIT it out! Can u imagine that? Her pyjama was stained with sticky red syrup.....got to clean and change her again!

Sweet revenge

My clumsy mummy cut my finger today. It's so painful till I cry uncontrollably. She's suppose to cut my nails but you know lah... ... she can even say to ah ma that my crying expression is sooo cute. So sadist and unsympathetic of her...some kinda revenge for not getting enough sleep each day izit???

Bottle War

I dun understand why mummy refuses to let me latch on nowadays. She kept popping this rubber thingy into my mouth where I can taste milk but feeling is different leh. Since she refuses to let me latch on then I oso refuse to take milk from rubber teat especially given by mummy. Notice tat mummy got stressed out with every single little change in me. She's at her wits end not being able to feed me any milk from the bottle. I know she loves me loads then give me what I want lah mummy. Why a sudden change? I know you are going back to work soon but that's a month later mah.

Surrender

Granny called daddy saying she's not the right candidate for babysitting me when mummy return to work, which means I dun have to stay over @ granny's house during weekdays & hurray get to see daddy, mummy and ah ma everyday since ah ma has no choice but to stuck with me liao.

I think I must have drive granny crazy.....me pai kia hor?? No what, baby is like that one mah. Cry at slightest discomfort and insecurity. I think I must have miss mummy during the stay @granny's house.

Cheerful Baby

Wen is a cheerful baby. She enjoys playing with ah ma and laugh out loud at times. Really glad that my mum came over to help me take care Wen. I learnt lots of things from her in taking care of baby. Wen likes me to sing nursery rhymes and self-made silly songs to her. Wen is always in good mood whenever at home. She is also responding to my flashcard sessions. She'll smile upon hearing we say gd morning to her when she's awake and look at the apple picture hung on the side of her playpen when we ask her where is apple. My smart gal...(hehe, I'm sure this is what all parents will claim).

2 days 1 nite

Wah, little Wen went for a 2 days 1 nite holiday @such a young age. Nah, actually is to stay over at my her granny and grandpa's place cos my mum need to go back her home prepare rice dumplings for the coming Dumpling Day. She has been staying with us since the day Wen came home cos she did the confinement for me. Niway, my MIL oso wanna try out looking after little Wen since the arrangement was she is suppose to be my caregiver when I return to work in July.

However, little Wen throw tantrum during her stay over there and drain everyone's energy out. She was being labeled as a little tyrant. My IL went thru a great deal to pacify her. My mum learnt about this and decided to come back home 1 day earlier.

Alarm Clock

Baby Wen is like an alarm clock. Her timing is so zun man! She'll definitely wake up after a ½ hour nap. It's very difficult to pat her back to sleep mode again. She is so sensitive to noise. A slightest cough or ahem can awake her. Granny was saying she is a light sleeper. Cham lah, got my mum's genes leh. This make us very tiring in the day cos cannot rest and nap during daytime. The best thing about her is she sleeps as early as 7pm at times, but usually around 9pm. Machiam like adult, noe how to differentiate between day and nite. What a darling : p
