Chloe's recent progress.

Chloe has turned 7 months a few days ago. Time flies.... she now have two teeths, able to walk in the walker and is taking porridge well. However, Im disturbed by her unabling to fall asleep peacefully. It has been increasingly difficult to coax her to sleep nowadays and she will wail and cry to sleep. Also she will also cry when she pass motion. In a overall sense, she has been getting more and more fussy these days. Hope its only a phase that will pass over soon.

doubts in blogging

I haven been blogging for quite sometime. Firstly its because I am super duper busy, Secondly becos Im abt the future of this blog. It seems like in many years to come, things that I have blogged will be archived and I may not see what I want. Nevertheless, I have decided to continue blogging.

first post for 2010 Chloe and Mummy's development

Chloe is 6 months in 4 days time! time really flies and since the start of 2010, life get so busy.... I have little time with Chloe during weekdays and weekend were so packed with activities. Everyday, im so occupied with expressing milk and trying to express as much as I can. I started giving formula milk to Chloe since 4/1/2010 as I know that my supply has depreciated greatly and demand cannot meet supply. The switch over to formula milk process was not a smooth sailing one as Chloe dun really like the taste and she seems to be allergic to cow milk powder. whole process was struggling and it was until i mix bm with fm a few days ago that she is able to finish her meal each time.

yesterday, when I brought Chloe for her third and final 6-in-1 jab, dr advise not to mix bm with fm sincethis will kill the antibodies and again im stressed cos this will again mean prob due to my low milk supply and fm refusal. I thank God once again as He always see us thru and Chloe takes fm well this time round. nid to monitor a few days. hopefully she will adjust to meals with fm and bm alternated.

As for Chloe, she is feeling the worst this time round after the jab and she felt so uncomfortable. cannot imagine if she take the stronger pnemoccacul...... omg.....

Chloe has being learning to sit by herself, flip and toss well, jump excitedly in her jumperoo and she is able to grab things firmly.

Bad Day--- I'm feeling depressed

Alot of things have been in my mind... Baby is sick twice this month and she has not been able to get the jab done. Not sure when and how but since baby begin to get interested with the world and uninterested with feeding, my milk supply has been decreasing. Blame me for not expressing conscientiously (thinking that I would like to drag the hours longer so that I can express less number of times in sch) Well, the consequence is my supply decrease drastically, my storage in fridge is depleting, and I'm worried my milk career will end VERY SOON :( 

What else? adopting the baby whisperer method to coax Baby to sleep independently seems not as successful and nowadays Chloe will fuss when she is abt to sleep. My Hb says I train her to cry b4 sleep :( Im sadded. Is this what I want? No definitely not. Chloe, Mummy is juz trying to teach you how to sleep independently and sleep for longer hours. What else…. time with Chloe is running out and I will nid to go back to work very very soon. so little time yet so many things I wanna do.. All these things have been running on my mind continuously and Im feeling so blue. As I write this post, I am reminded God will nv give me more than what I can take. I will survive by God’s wondrous grace… and it is this season that unto us a King is born. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Im glad that no matter what happens, God is still in control! 明天会更好！amen

Adopting Baby Whisperer method Part 2

Have been adopting Tracy Hoggs' method for coming to 3 weeks. During this period of time, I have been very conscious abt wat time Chloe sleep, sleep for how long and her feeding pattern. Despite following the methods, Chloe did not seem to be adapting well and this is pretty demoralising. What went wrong? Did I not observe the sleep window and miss it? Did I not set the setting well? Did I do the “pick up put down”wrongly?

Whenever it comes to nap time and I experience Chloe fussing, crying (telling me she dont know how to sleep) it makes me wonder whether Im a bad mummy and doing the wrong things to her.  Im kinda helpless...

New thing for Chloe

She looks juz like a princess on her 皇位!

Sick for a second time

Chloe has not recover fully since she was hit with bronchitis and now she is down with flu again. Went to see Dr Siaw yesterday and Im sadded cos Chloe nid to continue to take more med. Hope she will get well soon so that she can take the long delayed jab. btw had her weighed and seems like for 1 mth plus she oni gain abt 700g. Seems like she nid more food or becos she is unwell so she did not gain much! Really nid her to get into the able to sleep well and eat well mode!
