My 5 Weeks Old Asher

Posted by: Diana G.B on: November 8, 2009

5 weeks old
That’s my little 5 weeks old Asher with his favourite grandmummy ! Grandmummy said Asher is easy to look after, LOL, okay, she is experienced I would say and she has her way with children. But grandmummy is going to Hainan Island tonight and I do everything without Ben’s help this morning! I bathed him, fed him, put him to bed, washed and sterillized the bottles, expressed BM, washed the service balcony, washed the clothes and hanged them. Okay, I feel like I am an incredible mummy today ! :) See ! I am even blogging!

He is so lovely…… how i wish my gal can sleep in day time so that I can have time to do my own things… dunno why my gal just dun like to sleep in the day time… dont even have time to pump milk..
Btw , you using avent electric pump right? How long you take to express each time?

jayce, asher is not an infant to me. he listens to us! since last weekend, we kept telling him not to bully me as grandmummy will be away. he allows me to pat him to bed, sleeps for good 3-4 hours with on and off eii eii ekk ekk but most time, he is good! like today, I try talking to him again. telling him i feel guilty for having the thought of going back to work and have to leave him with grandmummy, he blinks his both eyes, looking at me and when i told him to sleep, he closes his eyes immediately, w/o cuddle or pat on his shoulders! I think the babyplus works because my niece was like this too.

I panic queen, so i pump only 15-20 minutes max when i am alone and able to yield 100 mls. i can’t believe myself, i was able to pump milk exactly 3.5 hourly today with me alone looking after asher. i told him he is a good boy, does very well and continue doing the same thing tomorrow. –>my sister told me to talk to him.

now asher wakes up at 730-8am, talk to him on bed then bring him to shower. after showering, i told him to wait for his milk while i quickily warm them up. then after feeding, i put him on rocker until he yawns or make noise because that means he poo poo already. after changing new diaper, bring up to his room, pat for 10 mins and he will sleep.
930-12 sleeping, so i do my thing. make sure baby is awake for around 1 hour-2 hours, if >2 hrs, asher will be cranky.
11 – pumping
12 – feeding, talk to him, he stays for around 30min-1 hr
1pm – sleeps but not as sound as morning nap, on and off ekk ekk, pat and he will go back to sleep
3pm – pumping
4pm – feeding, plays tummy time and i talk to him, brought him to living room and on the tv. put him in rocker and he starts to kick and punch the toys
5pm – sleeping again
7pm – normally he wants to be carried and he cries really loud for milk, but i make him wait for his milk. crying is exercise also la. :) then settle down, i may feed him 30 min earlier the stay awake till 8 plus
8 plus – clean his body and change clothes and mitten
9 pm – put him to bed and this time round, no more ekk ekk until his 12 mn feeding that’s why i say asher got no day night confusion. he knows it is at night already. :)

haha asher is such a good boy.. i think i should use bb plus for my next one . My gal also does not have no day night confusion.. i also talk to her & keep telling her daddy & mummy is tired at night so pls sleep thru and she does! sleep from 12-7 without making any noise .. just the day time .. always refuse to sleep.. thats why i envy you to have your own time to actually complete so many tasks. i also think you plan your time very well .. cos mine is not fix and is like depends on BB

i have no time to pump in the day time at all .. only night time when someone can help me “entertain” my gal.. so i tried latching on but she does seems wan to do her work and fall asleep very soon and later i need to feed her FM so that she can sleep for a while… not sure if i will confuse my gal by doing this leh .. wat you think?

eh…. I don’t do that. I feed bottles – 120mls and he sleeps 4 hours. some days I will BF, yesterday I let him latch for 30-45 minutes. he sleeps half way but I will wake him up, he sleeps for 4 hours also after direct BF.

you can use your fingers to trigger her mouth and see if she wants more, if she falls asleep. don’t wrap her up until cozy cozy, some mummies remove the towel, do many things just to keep babies awake during BF.

jayce, you can try my ASHER’s POSITION – i post at my FB. then just pat the shoulder with your hand, your arm rest on her thigh…she thinks you are hugging her then v soon – ZZZzzzz , must try a few times hor.. :)
