Surviving the night ordeal

Daddy and Mummy at last survived at least one night of taking care of me and without any people come to save them. Lol.

Daddy took the first half of the shift, feeding me milk and changing diapers from 11pm to 3am. After which, poor mummy have to wake up on and off to see if I am awake cos I made funny noises, stretching noises, etc. I do not know why I made funny noises which at first really scare them and wake them up from their sleep, but now, Daddy is so clever that tells Mummy that is false alarm, and true enough, Mummy now just lie on bed listening to my funny noises until I really cried, then she will rush to me. :(

Babies once you know their behaviour and timing, you will know what they want. For me, if I drink breastmilk, I can last 2 hours and I will ask for more. And if I drink formula milk, the most I can last is about 3-4 hours. So now, Mummy clever, at 11pm she will give me formula milk to make me sleep longer cos formula milk is fuller. Then if I wake up in the middle of the night, she will give me pumped breastmilk. So is like switching one after another.

Another tip, is after rocking or carrying me a little while, and if I give a smile means I am about to fall asleep and I can be put back on the cot. Hehe... So doesn't mean when everytime I smile means I am smiling at the person who is carrying me.

How to determine of babies cries:
Neh: "I'm hungry"
Owh: "I'm sleepy"
Heh: "I'm experiencing discomfort"
Eair: "I have lower gas"
Eh: "I need to burp"

So right now, we are all waiting for one month to come, and we can go out as a family for the very first time. Waiting for the outing with Daddy and Mummy. :) And also all uncles, aunties, sisters and brothers, please keep yourself free on 6 Jan 2007 11am to 3pm for lunch buffet to celebrate me turning one month. Yay!!!
