The 3rd Month

she is 5.7kg and 60.5cm

BB [V] is so light at 5.7kg , its only a 50% growth percentile I don't like it. She has been super fussy with drinking milk and can't even finish her normal 100ml of milk, drinking only 30-50 ml each time. I have since stopped pumping my milk and will latch her instead as I really think its pointless to spend so much time pumping and there she is crying away. I am looking after her alone and its tough chasing after the time with a schedule of 3 hours just to maintain/up the milk supply.

Besides its totally frustrating as she can't keep quiet and wants to play or be carried. I just do one pump at night to clear out all the milk before sleeping and I don't like the fact that my fridge has so much milk as I rather that she drinks them. I hope she gets out of this anorexia behaviour.

Her height is of 90% growth percentile and so I am not so worried as I think she has DD T genes and her weight comes mainly from her limbs as they are relatively long. I have been trying all sorts of ways to fatten her up as I would love her to be chubby chuckers, but failed in all. I tried giving her formula milk too but....still waiting to promote her into her other clothes. I mean she can still fit into a romper meant for 2-3.2kg.!

At about 2-3 weeks ago, she woke up one day and decided that she doesn't want the pacificer anymore! Yahoo!!! 1st milestone.. We thought that the pacifier has lost its buoyancy and rushed to get new ones but she spat it out.So much for me hesitating to give her in the 1st place. Haiz, should have stuff it in her mouth to prevent all the fussing.

Then comes the next issue, she has ZERO ability to fall asleep on her own and needs to be carried constantly till she gets drowsy. She can't self soothe, so I have been walking alot lately and am having aches. This happens outside too, I have resorted to taking the MRT to move around. She likes taking trains as I think its constantly moving and she doses off easily and I LIKE. No cabs for her cause when she cries, I fear for our safety as its super distracting for the taxi driver. I tried a few times and hmmmf .. not ready yet. I do need to start driving but its tough with a crying/breastfeeding baby, so I guess MRT will do for now. (at least when she cries, I just get off the next station.. hehe)

She sleeps on our bed with us at night as she refuses to be in the cot and screams when we put her there. So we suffer... spoke to the Dr about this and she says that BB [V] is smart and knows where is the most comfortable. Guess she just wants our warmth and security, Dr says we can keep her there until when she sleeps through then we can start training her. One thing I like about her sleeping is that she can sleep from 11- 1230 hehe.. Power right! Everyone gets a shock when they hear of her sleeping pattern...

ME:

Nothing much going now lately.. just wish for more time to relax haha.. but I guess it comes in a package

I put on 15kg and have another 5 kg to go sianz sianz...But I am aiming for 7 kg , I mean who won't want to lose more right? I do try to weigh myself everyday but its kinda depressing, but my ever supportive husband will constantly tell me that I will lose all the weight SOON. Then he will ALSO constantly offer chocloates, junk food, ice cream......so much for losing weight!!!

I have been devoting all my time in the day with her and will only spend some me time at night after she has fallen deeply alseep. There has been a lot of shopping trips as I am going mad staying at home, dealing with the crying and feeding. The weather has been really bad and so I seek solace and comfort in the malls.(brings my sanity back by spending money hehe)



Mummy shopping, I zzzzzzzzzzzz
