Baby is 7 weeks old!
Flashing back the past 7 weeks, having a baby really changed our life. Her arrival painted a new meaning to our married life. Our little family is now completed with this cute little creature. We are much composed now as a newbie parents comparing to the very beginning. Baby Leow was so small and tiny in our arm when she was born. We were afraid of holding her as if we might hurt her but now she has grown stronger and heavier. During the 2nd and 3rd week, baby Leow had this fussy hours everyday. We were panicked by her nonstop crying and searching for my boobs. Mislead by the confinement lady that our baby is having colic because I drank so much water (The Chinese confinement practice is not supposed to drink a single drop of plain water, honestly I don't believe is water problem, the soup and ginger tea are all cooked with water isn't it, total nonsense!). We kept Google what is wrong with our baby, worrying if our baby is having acid reflux or colic or my milk supply was not enough for her and etc. We were in guilt that we may have done something wrong on our baby.
Fortunately, we consulted pediatrician during her jaundice treatment visit. Doctor told us there is no colic, as my baby is breastfed, breastmilk is digested quickly. When our baby is asking for milk, just latch will do. We followed Dr's advice and it works. She will has this fussy hour for cluster feeding, usually last like 2 hours. Just keep giving her my boobs then she will be alright and fall asleep. There is no need for ointment massage to remove the 'wind' from her stomach actually. Glad that we have figured this out.
After we moved back to our house, baby did take a while to adjust and familiarize to our home, to the sound of barking by our dog, and the noise we made at home. I think we managed to work things out really well as a family, she understands our schedule while we able get holds of her sleeping times and habits.
I think by attending to baby's calling before she burst into loud cry does help to reduce baby fussiness. As her needs are constantly been fulfilled helps to bring the sense of security to her. A contended baby means happy parents.
On her 7th week, she started to create some cute sound, responded to us with smile, enjoying us look into her eyes and talk with her. She also able to lay there alone, giving us more freedom to get things done.
Though she not able to understand our language yet, just keep talk with her, she somehow will understand. Trust me.
