I was at the PD office waiting for Bryan’s turn. Opposite me was a lady who appears to still be pregnant but is in the typical confinement attire – jacket, track pants, socks, sandals. Next to her is a man, my guess is her husband, and a old lady carrying a baby. My guess – [...]

Yes! That was the total amount that Dylan drank yesterday while I was at work. This is certainly good news as in the last 2 weeks, he only takes about 10Oz while I was away. Sometimes less. There was one day when I got back early at 4:30pm to take him for his vaccination. And [...]
I am so into baby wearing nowadays. Since I learnt how to put Dylan into the sling a few weeks ago, I am more determined than ever to make baby wearing works for me. Dylan is getting more comfortable in the stroller, but the problem is Bryan is getting very lazy to walk in the [...]

If I was worried about my pumped milk output, I need not worry anymore, coz my baby doesn’t like to take his milk from the bottle. He is taking milk from the bottle, but very little. It takes my parents a long time to persuade him to down 3 Oz/ feeding. So now, they are [...]

Compared to Bryan, I am getting so much more sleep at night this time. I hardly nap during the day. Of course, it helps that I get to sleep in till past 9am/ 10am each day while Bryan will wake me up at 7am or so last time.
The main reason why I am getting more [...]

Hubb shared with me a disturbing story yesterday after work.
One of his staff’s relative’s child was diagnosed with late stage leukemia. The girl is 13 years and the doctor says she only has 2 more months to live.
One of the girl’s relative knows a German doctor who specializes in treating leukemia. Coincidentally, the doctor [...]

I have received my share of negativity regarding breastfeeding. Any mothers who had breastfed their babies extensively would have at some point.
But this one is a new one to me!
At my mom’s place, there are many aunties babysitting their grandchildren or other babies. So one common topic when the neighbors met up is to talk [...]
