Lower Down By 2 Levels

My gal was not place in baby cot for almost a month when I saw her pulled herself up in a standing position. At that time, hubby was tied up with works and flying off for business trip, so end up every night I have to tuck her in my bed.

Hubby is back from his business trip now and he is free from everything. He helps to adjust the baby cot's height, by lower down 2 levels. Baby cot being empty for almost a month and now I can put her back to her cot! Yippee!

Hang Out At Ben & Jerry's

Total of 4 mommies today at Central Thai, Orchard Central having lunch . Good session to catch up with each other! I am late but still managed to meet up with another mom as she need to rush back to work.

Hmm... ... Need to comment on their food. As defaulted, in any Thai restaurant, I will order Phat Thai, my favourite dish. No idea why, maybe the waitress recomended me their fried beef noodles, so I just trusted him and ordered. After having it, total ruins my day, not appertising, the fried beef noodles just so so. Moreover the place is not that comfort, if I were given a choice, I will not visit them again.

Last minutes decision, decided to have dessert at Ben & Jerry, Orchard Central. Most important is to continue our chit chat session after our lunch.

Oh! Before proceed to other stuff, here's our little bubs, their very first time trying out to sit in a highchair. We are so proud of them! Yeah!



Interaction session among themselves just after their afternoon nap.



Given a funny expression while posting infront of my camera!



How about mommies? We ordered and enjoying our Belgian waffle with ice cream!

Yum! Yum! My favourite!

First Bottle-feed

Now that I have to say, I am so proud of my baby, she knows how to drink from a bottle and finished up 3oz breastmilk within 5 minutes! Hurray! From tomorrow onwards, I need to start to express and store for feeding.

Thinking back on those days when I had supply issue, produce not enough breastmilk for her, on 2nd day stay in hospital I have to bottle feed her with formula milk. Thereafter, she was fully latched on.

Yes, the convenience of breast feeding till I didn't think about to bottle feed her. I tried to give her bottle when she was about 3 months old but end up I am the one who surrender first! She tend to forget how to suck, so in return, whenever I go, I have to bring along her with me, not complaining, just because I notice that some places I can't really bring her along, so each time hubby needs to apply leave to accompany me.

Exercise And Breastfeeding

Most mommies often ask this question- Can I breastfeed my baby after exercise? Some say 'Yes', and some say 'No'. So do I! Which is which? I am concern about this too! To play safe, I have not, should have say I dare not exercise when I am breastfeeding my baby.

After I read this article from Parenting and Child Health, about 'Exercise and breastfeeding', really clear all of my concern and doubt! No worries anymore and I will plan and start my exercise very soon!

Exercise and breastfeeding
Regular, moderate exercise is good for your health and it helps you to feel good.
* Most women can exercise regularly without any effects on breastfeeding.
* An occasional baby may be fussy at the breast if fed straight after the mother has exercised. This may be due to lactic acid in the milk, which does no harm and will disappear in an hour or two.
* Rarely, a mother may find she needs to cut down on exercise to prevent her milk supply from dropping off.
* Make sure to have plenty of drinks when you are breastfeeding and exercising.
* Healthy eating is important too. Don't go on a strict diet to lose weight while you are breastfeeding.

By now, Enya has become adept at eating baby rice cereal, and is time to expand her diet by introducing something different. Shall I start with fruit before vegetables or vegetables before fruit? Mmm... ... To me that really don't make a difference between the two!

Since I started my boy with vegetables before fruit, so my girl will adopts same method as her brother, vegetables before fruit. First food for Wayne was carrot and pumpkin for Enya!

I refer back to my boy's feeding schedule that I have done in year 2005, I don't really need to start from scratch on what shall I feed her with too!

  1. Still single ingredients at this stage. I will give her 1 feed per day, increase from 1 Tbsp to 2 Tbsp of baby rice cereal.
  2. Introduce new food in late morning after milk, I will still stick with 3 days rules.

List of foods waiting to introduce to my girl: -
  • carrot
  • banana
  • apple
  • avocado
  • papaya
  • broccoli
  • sweet potatoes
  • watermelon
  • white radish
