Trying to adjust to my new lifestyle...hope everything will go smoothly for me, hubby and baby. I wanna be a good mum and wife... Jia you jia you.

1st Month

Today is Sherie's first month. Glad to see she is growing well... Whereas I am still trying to cope with all the changes. I'm trying to learn to be more patience and trying to learn how to communicate with Sherie. Talking to a baby is tough for me but am trying... Today also marks the end of my confinement. First thing, wash hair!!!! All the sweatiness making me so uncomfortable. Some people enjoyed their confinement period but not for me. Maybe they can rest well whie their confinement nanny took are of their baby during night time. For me, I'm still tired everyday lacking of sleep because I have to take care of baby at night but thanks hubby for helping me too. Will be moving back home on Friday so i have to learn and take care of BB Sherie myself without any help. I can do it!Jia you mummy!

Confinement

I am now doing my confinement at in laws place. Cannot wash hair and lucky can still on fan or air con. Confinement is no joke. Really have a lot of rules to take note. I can only bathe in lemongrass, ginger water prepared by mil. Can only eat food cooked with sasame oil and ginger ( kidney, pork meat, egg, chicken, fish, veggies) Cannot wash hair everyday is a nightmare to me. My hair scalp was so oily and sweaty and smelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perspire also cannot bathe again with hot water can only wipe the body...is there any difference? Haiz...next, looking after baby is a nightmare for me. Could not get use to the crying of baby....dunno what she wants. Can only keep guessing but when one person deprive of sleep it can really irritates you. Which I was really depressed....it seems like I cannot satisfied my baby needs. I also need to be more patience too while taking care of baby which I really lack of it. She really is testing my patience most of the time. But what can I say? Baby can only cry to express their feeling, hungry, tired, diaper change, cold, hot, not feeling well. I will try to be a better mum. Although I already give up latching her. I still express milk out for her and bottle feed her with formula. How long can I go.....that period was really depressing for me. I cannot even latch well, and baby reject me. That makes me so sad! But now , hubby and me decided to express to nd bottle feed her but milk supply was just now enough for her. Jia you mummy!
