The 3-hourly feed routine on Day 9

Poor BabyLo, today the nurse rang me to check out on our progress. I asked her about the feeding routine and she said that feeding you at an hourly interval is way too often. She said it should be one hour worth of feeding time ( even if you fall asleep during the feeding time, I should wake you up until the complete hour has finished) after that, I am meant to give you at least 2 to 3 hrs of sleep and not feed you even if you cry. So after talking to her, I tried her feeding routine.
Even though you dozed off after the first 20 mins of feed, I have to rock you, burp you, wipe your face and change your nappy in order to make you more wakeful. After offering you the feed a few more times, I ended the feeding time promptly after one hour.
Guess what, after about half an hour, you woke up again begging for more food.
10mins later, you were like this.

20 mins later, you were still like this.


30 mins later, we tried settling you, but there is only one thing on your mind.

An hour later, you still haven't forgotten.


So from the period of 5pm to 7pm. MummyLo has to continously settle you, made me feel so bad watching you cry so hard. At 7pm on the dot, MummyLo couldn't stand you crying any longer and has to please you by feeding you. I guess the nurse is right, you probably already have me wrapped around your little fingers.

BabyLo, Grandpa Lo and Grandma Lo is so kind to us that they have bought a whole kilo worth of abalone for the two of us to share. See how lucky you are, already pampered by so many. Grandma Mak especially made Abalone congee with her canned abalone for me at lunch and then we all had abalone and chicken soup for dinner. Aren't we lucky coz of you! You better be good to them when you grow up too !
