The 1st month...

~My girl sleep a lot and seldom awake for feeding especially during day time. She just won't awake no matter how we disturb her.
~She only willing to drink if she demand by crying else she won't open her mouth even though it's feeding time.
~Feed with formula milk since the 1st day because i'm still not processing.
~Refuse to latch on and always get fussy, perhaps the way i carry her is incorrect.
~Hardly finish 2oz milk.
~Hate to drink water, refuse to drink and push away the bottle with her tongue if is water.
~Umbilical cord dropped on the 6th day (5/11/09).

Am tired because i take care of my girl myself day and night, plus my body has yet to recover from delivery. But i'm glad hubby is around to help. We're both hurry-scurry since we're new parent and had to learn everything, holding, feeding, changing from scratch. And we had to adjust ourself to follow baby's timing. However, i'm thankful that my mum and grandma are around to assist.

Nurse from the poli came visit on 4th day (3/11/09). Was told that my baby has jaundice but very mild and i have to pay attention so that it wont get serious. Due to that the nurse visit almost everyday to make sure my baby is fine. Was told to awake my baby and to force feeding her at least every 2 hours, also to bask her so that the jaundice won't get serious. On the 5th day and 7th day, brought baby to the poli to check on the jaundice level to make sure she's not at risk. I nearly cry when i saw my girl crying during the nurse collecting blood sample little by little from her feet. Am glad that the result shown reduced on the 2nd check and no need to go anymore.

~Start feeding regularly and able to finish 2oz.
~A good baby during midnight. Would only move her body and searching bottle with her mouth when she's hungry during midnight.
~Willing to latch on but always demand more.
~Had to feed with formula milk since my supply wasn't enough. (my plan to fully breast feeding cant achieve).
~Loves listen to people talking, would be quiet when people talking loudly.
~Would smile when people hold her talk to her as if she understand.
~Her eyes would stared and followed near moving objects.
~Skin starts peeling.
~Has lot of wind in her stomach, get fussy when she wants to fart.
~Always hiccupping and farting a lot.
~Likes to stretch herself a lot until her face turn really red.

Started this week, become cranky every night from 8.00pm till 12.00am or the latest 1.00am. Can't guess the reason, she just refused to sleep although been yawning. Request attention, wants people talk to her or hold her. Would only keep quiet and fall asleep if being hold. But her eyes will widely open immediately if being put back on the bed. Mum said because that's the time me and hubby having video chat online while i'm pregnant. So, it has become her habits, it's not sleeping time....

Unlike the 1st week, hubby no longer awake during midnight (too tired and surrendered). I do the midnight feeding and i'm glad i managed to do it all by myself ;p. But he'll help to do the feeding during dawn.

On the 10th day (11/11/09), nurse from the poli came visit again and weighted my baby. Her weight increased about 0.2kg to 3.2kg.

On 15/11/09, brought baby to my gynea for follow up check after delivery. We are both doing well. Baby's weighted at 3.4kg.

~2oz doesn't seem enough especially breast milk. Able to finish up to 3oz if is breast milk.
~Gets hungry easily (less than 2 hours).
~End of week 3, start feeding 2.5oz.
~Active girl, loves company.

Hubby went back to SZ for work and i took care of my girl myself at night. Glad that i already able to cope with her timing.

On her 20th day, nurse came to weight her again. She's weighted at 3.5kg.

~Able to see quite far, her eyes would follow if someone walk pass by her.
~Keep having stomach problem, always get cranky before farting and "digesting".
~Start massaging her every evening and she loves it a lot.

Since it's school holiday, mum no need to wake up early, so she helps me to take care of my girl at night. Hmmm....i finally has good night sleep, but it appears to be so lonely without my girl's companion at night....hehe....;p

We celebrated her full moon on 29th Nov, 2 days earlier than actual date. Me and my mum actually brought her to Giant Hyper that night. My darling sleep through the whole way, from the minute she gets in the car. Until we came back, she only awake once in the car for feeding, other than that she sleeps soundly in my mum's arm (i'm the driver). ;p
