After 1.5 weeks, life finally is settled down a bit. Jacob has finally recovered from the serious flu and virus infection. My breast feeding can be said as successful (after all the pain, bleeding, working out the best position with Chester). Also, after visiting the mother/baby caring centre, the nurse there reminded me again how to judge if Chester was hungry (that if his head moves right and left with mouth open and close) and remind me to simply feed him whenever he is hungry. Since then, I realize that Chester is quite easy to take care. It is extremely difficult at the begging because I don’t have enough milk. So, the trick is, for the first few days, when the milk is not enough, just let him “drink sucking” for stimulation purpose (but it really hurts, woo woo woo, I really cried out =~~~) and then feed him with milk powder. Then, gradually, more and more breast feeding, less and less formula milk. The process is not easy but you got to have patience and you need to hold on there and insist!!!!! Also, the second tips that I want to remind myself is that I should always first making sure myself to have enough rest instead of thinking of what I should best use of time or to achieve during my leaves. Without a good rest, my health, my mood and my temper become very bad and this is definitely more harmful. So far, Chester is easy to take care. He has quite a strong body that he can already turn around his head himself. It seems that he can play with us and smile to us as well (but not very sure =p). Also, he has very strong arms and legs that he kicks strongly when he gets hungry. He is also very sensitive even that he can sense even a slight movement (which is a bit unusual to baby at this stage). Also, he seems to learn very fast that we had used a very easy sucking milk bottle for 2 times and he can already learned the difference.
I hope that I can take more photos of Chester and Jacob and share them here during my maternity leave.
