Home Alone

Wah, it has been 3 weeks home alone with Baby Trisha. =)

Definitely not easy but VERY pleased with myself for being able to remain sane and still as organized as ever...heheh..Actually I must thank Trisha for being a not too difficult baby (of course there's time when she is REALLY difficult) and Daddy Xman for helping out during the night feeds.

Quite a lot has happened over the past 3 weeks......

She started to get a lot more cranky than before and we suspected that she has wind in her tummy. Symptoms like legs pulled up to her chest, kicking legs, crying non stop, puking milk after feeds all point to a colicky baby. We tried gripe water, ru yi oil but doesn't seem to work (or maybe we need to give it more time). So as first time panicky parents, we brought her to the PD.

From the doc's visit, it was confirmed she does have some wind in her little tummy causing her the discomfort but it's not that serious. PD gave her some medicine (called "Ridwind") and since trying for a week plus, it seems to have helped. Oh, one other thing that we suspect causing her all this pain in the tummy is due to her constipation. She didn't poo for about 2 days and when she did, it was HORRIBLE! (photos as evidence). Since the BIG business done, she has been doing BIG business at least once a day and now she's a happier baby! =) She also farts more now and it smells real bad!!! =p






See the shit stain on her rompers!





Now that we have rid her wind in tummy, another problem arises....sigh....

She's still crying a lot in the evenings....even after feeds. She just want to be held, cuddled and walked around the house. We can't even sit down or put her in her bed even after she has calmed down. Her face scrunches up the second we lower her into her cot or play pen. Luckily she usually stops by midnight after her feed. =)

She's waking up now so gotta to go! Wish me luck for a good day with her!=)
