8 to 9 months (32 - 36 weeks)

For baby:

Grow:
Her weight is 8kg and height 68cm.

Feeding:
Victoria continued her puree  and semi solid food like cereal, quaker oat, macaroni. She started to take porridge at week 33 (8 months 1 week). I gave her some fresh cut papaya and banana at 8 months. I added some new thing in this month, plain bun (she likes it), Avocado, vegetable soup (potato + tomato+ corn+ onion+ pork rib), kai lan, eggplant, long bean, green bean, papaya.

Her appetite return and her daily milk intake is consistent now 180ml to 200ml 3 to 4 days a day. She will wake up for milk as early as 2am to 4am started at week 34 even her last milk is 10pm. Then she will wake up for another milk at 5am to 6am. She likes back to new born time.

Night time:
Her sleeping time is more consistent now. She sleeps around 1030pm every night and no more nap after 8pm. She wakes up very consistent at 6am in this month or sometimes twice in a night started at week 34. She wakes up at 130am to 4am and 6am again. But this time she will not cry impatiently when waiting for her milk. She will stand up in her crib and cry for attention. She is better now and can finish her milk and only left about 10ml to 40ml. She can continue her sleep in her crib right after milk. 

Development:
Victoria can stand up herself  and hold for few second without holding anything.

She can cross over from her bed to our bed and from our bed to her bed at week 35.

She likes to speak loudly. “oh ba ba ba..’’ “ oh ya ya ya..’’  “ ah ah ah’’ she speaks loudly at everywhere even when we bring her out eating at restaurant.

She has her second time flew back to Penang at week 33. She was making noise during night flight when we flew to Penang but sleeping quietly in early morning flight when we flew back to JB. So we know the best time to fly is early morning when her sleeping time.

This is the first time she sleeps at my Penang home and have close contact with my family. It was really a terrible time for her, she cried and refused everyone. She only wants me and can see me, so end up I could not go to bath and cannot leave her alone.

She shows less interest in her banana teeter, she likes any other things and all she put in her mouth to eat them.

She can show her excitement by moving her legs up down and hands and smile sweetly.

Playing time:
She likes to play. She can crawl and climb up stair case to up stair when at 6 months plus. She fully climbs up o up stair at week 33 when I let her play herself.

She likes to throw things especially her handkerchief.  

She likes to eat paper and her book. Part of a hard cover book has been eaten by her.

For Mommy:

Mommy have weight is 51kg since 5 month post-delivery.

Started at week 33, milk production lesser to 600ml to 720ml. Is it related to ba zhen herbal soup? It reduce obviously after I ate a herbal soup when in Penang or it’s just about time to reduce production?

This month, I has been off work a bit late. So I has no chance to feed her dinner. Her baby sister feeds her before I bring her back. Finally the hospital is open at this month.
