My Life. My Stories

For baby: Grow: Valerie weight 4.05kg and lenght 60cm. Feeding: Valerie was fed with 120 to 140ml 3 hourly. I direct feed her at 10pm as her last milk before sleep. She accepts latching better but sometimes still crying and refuses when milk come out. She has no  or less burp now after feeding. Her weight is at -2SD which is at a concern level. She only earns 500g from previous month. I went to seek advise from paediatric, and I started her with grow fat recipe by add 0.5- 1ml of MCT oil in each feed, Appeton multivitamin with lysine drop 0.5ml each day and 1 capsule of probiotic. The weight stil growing slow and ear around 100g per week only after introduced this regime. I add on woodwards gripewater 5ml daily at week 19 because seem like the result is not so good. After fed her gripewater, her baby sister can feed her 150ml 3 hourly instead of seperate the feeding to 40ml at 2.5hour and 100ml at 3hourly. I feed her every morning before I go to work because I want...

For Baby: Grow: Valerie is 3.6kg and length 56cm now. Feeding: Baby feeding go up to 70ml to 100ml every 3 hourly. Mommy have a lot of frozen milk and she was feed with frozen milk at night usually. Night time: Baby Valerie slept a bit earlier now at around 1045pm and her last feed at 10pm. She slept over the night and woke up in morning at 5.30am to 7am or later for milk then continue her sleep. She cry less if she sleep beside mommy and off the light now. Daddy will transfer her to bed after she slept and most of time she will have good sleep. Development: She is a happy baby and she likes to smile when you looking at her. She can say 'Er' and 'Ar' but not frequent. In this month mommy first time hear she laughed loud when her sister played with her. She will cry badly after she poo and if din't get her diaper changed.

For baby: Grow: Victoria weight 4.05kg and lenght 57cm. Feeding: Valerie was fed with 100 to 120ml 3 hourly. She is kind of taking plenty time to finish one bottle of milk. At her baby sister house, she can finish in 15 -20 minutes 120ml milk. But when come to me, she will take more than 30 minutes or some time even 1 hour time to bottle feed her. Valerie was taking around around 650ml per day. And mommy production is around 700ml. So mommy still have average 1 bag balance of milk to be frozen each day. I started to let her direct latch at night before sleep at 10pm and another breast milk collect in silicone milk collector while she latched on left breast. I will feed her some of the collected milk after latching. Most of time she refuses to latch and cry badly when the milk come out. Mommy feeling so weird why baby doesn't like to latch while my first daughter like to latch. Night time: Valerie slept around 1030pm when mommy ready go to sleep. Most of time she sleeps...

For Baby: Grow: Valerie weight increase pretty slow. She is 3.6kg and length 47cm. Feeding: This time I have achieved fully breastfeeding earlier at week 2-3. I got balance of breast milk started week 4 and need to be frozen. Since then I have accumulated a numbers of bag of frozen milk. Valerie drinks too little. No improvement in feeding. She drank 40- 80ml each every 2.5- 3 hour. Each feeding fastest can be 20minutes and most of time it took 40 -60minutes also can't finish a bottle. Very frequent have left over and mommy keep the balance and bath her everyday. Almost everyday I have 1 glass left over milk to bath her. Night time: Baby Valerie likes to sleep late in night. She slept at 12pm- 2pm. At the first week after the confinement ladies went home, her mommy and papa need to take care of her at night. Both have no idea how to handle her to get into sleep. Valerie cried and noise a lot during night when we get ready to sleep. First, we found that she fears to be in t...

My second baby met the world on 25 August 2017 1155am. She is a very pretty baby girl. Tiny eyes, chubby face and tiny lips. It's a 3.03kg baby girl! Born via induce at 40weeks 1 day. The time really past pretty fast. This time round I did not take any pregnancy selfies picture. Maybe because I was so tire and busy. As a working mom with 1 small kid is not easy. This time round, I have nausea until 12 weeks. At first trimester, I was damn tire. I can sleep in pantry during lunch hour. At night, I felt asleep around 10pm. The constipation not as serious as first preganancy, maybe because I took prune juice, an apple/ orange each day, Quaker oat to replace rice during lunch hour at work, high fibre milk every morning at work and lastly I have a detox drink which works really good to past motion. First month: Grow: Valerie born at 3.03kg and length 45cm. Feeding: mix formula milk and breast milk. Mommy first colostrum 30ml at 4th day. Baby was feed 40-60ml every 2.5 to 3 hou...

Victoria has her first oversea travel for her first time in life beside Singapore. Same for mommy. I had my first oversea holiday since pregnant. Victoria is 18months and turning 19 months in Italy. She took a long hours flight about 13 hours in first in her life time. We took Etihad airway, they have a dedicated stewardess to take care of children. But Victoria is too 'big' and heavy. So no bassinet for her. So she sleep tight with me. I guess she was scared and miss her bed. She cried on and off after she awoke and whenever she felt me moved. After the first day of enduring flight n jet lag, she started to know what is going on. We are on holiday. She started to enjoy travel and interest to it. She sleeps well at night and enjoy much at day. She likes gelato ice-cream and spaghetti much! She drinks her milk too. For baby: Grow: Her weight is ? and height ? No measure as no clinic visit. Feeding: Victoria likes fried mee, chocolate, cry hard for dried cranberry, drie...

It is possible and easy to bring a baby less than 2 years old to travel at oversea. She knows what is happening and enjoying. Learn from it. We are surprisingly, it is quite easy, our luggage plus baby stuffs (milk, diaper, her clothes and a carrier), we only carry one medium luggage and small luggage plus a bag. Total weight is around 30kg for 3 of us .  We only bring a carrier and no stroller. Easy to move around with carrier. It was an enduring flight for Victoria, a 6 hours flight from Singapore to Abu Dhabi and 7 hours flight from Abu Dhabi to Milan by Etihad Airline. It is 6 hours behind Malaysia time. We landed at Milan 725am. It was an overnight flight, mummy and Victoria slept in the flight most of the time, but Victoria cried on and off when she awaken. No bassinet provided because she is too ‘long’ and overweight. There is one friendly stewardess who takes special care of Victoria. We started our Milan tour after we landed. It was a tiring day beca...
