Today he has abit flu .. Since birth till now first time falling sick .. I guess yesterday too many aunties play with him at OG already ..
Haven been going out lately cause carrying Isaiah is too tiring for me. And now he tends to fuss alot outside! Didn't like his pram anymore .. All he wants is to carry.
Time really flies and he is coming 4 months old. Now he will scream as and when he likes. Finally realised that he has a voice. Still breastfeeding him .. Heard alot of people telling me is not too good to breastfeed till he is too old .. Too bad i'm kind of anti formula milk.. Yes we grow up on that but i believe older days formula milk and now is different. Of course if now some mummy doesn't give their babies breastmilk doesn't mean they are bad mummies. But to me breastfeeding is more than feeding. Is about bonding. How Isaiah touch my face when i'm nursing him, how he plays with me and giggles when i talk to him while nursing him, how he seek comfort when he is scared, tired, sleepy, fussy when i'm nursing him. There is so much to giving your baby just breastmilk. God create breast for nursing baby. That is the greatest bonding in the rest of his life. Some mummies have no choice but to give express BM, i don't think there is anything wrong if mummy has to work, but for those that is SAHM, don't think you should express and feed when you can latch your bb on.Isn't cuddling your baby at breast alot better than holding that lifeless breast pump expressing milk ? That already destroy the meaning of breastfeeding.
And don't look at how much baby is drinking. Let baby take their cues. Even he is drinking 100ml now n 50ml later it is OKAY! You don't eat the same portion every meal right ? Latch baby on and don't bother how much he is drinking. We doesn't need to teach a baby how to drink their milk. they knows how to drink once is baby is born. So when they refused means they are done. I bet we doesn't let someone to measure how much we are eating and insist that we are not eating as normal and get upset over it ?
So mummies who are concern about it, let your baby tells you whether he/she is full and not you tell your baby that 'you got to drink xxml then you are full'
Sometimes Isaiah can latch on for 5 mins and he is okay without milk for 4 hours! Still he is gaining his weight.
Nowadays alot of parents is puting their babies as young as 4 months to Sichida Method classes which cost a bomb like $700+ for a term. Sorry but i can't stop myself to be laughing at these mummies. Maybe they are trying to do their best to give babies the BEST. But do u think they are giving the BEST ? Isn't the best thing you can give your baby now is time, love, hugs, and kisses ? Learning with them and overjoyed by their little improvement ? Why bury your babies with FLASHCARDS ? Isn't making your baby like a robot every card in one sec etc. I have to say bullshit. Yes i heard that it is good for babies developement, they can speak full sentence before 2 yrs old. So what if bb speak properly at 5 years old ? i know someone who speak like a baby till 6 years old. Since Pri 1, she is top in school. How do u say that ? every child has their own pace of developing - that's how god create babies.Flashcards, classes, lessons etc etc etc is putting to much stress on your baby brain. That's why they learn fast. but is straining their brain too much. This will cause sleepless nights! Why make babies life so complicated ? We are omplicated enough, enough stress and problems in life. Babies are the best, no worries, no stress. Growing and learning at their own pace. Why change their life into our life ? They will lose those simple thinking of a child.
A simple story of two 3 years old girl.
1st girl living in normal family and growing at her own pace will wake up and say "I love u mummy n daddy."
2nd girl with enrichment course will wake up and say "Mummy and daddy, will you two divorce one day ? Will you throw me away ?"
Don't laugh at it, is a true story!
If you wan to give your baby the best ? Give your baby your time and love. Put in your effort and learn with your baby step by step and keep that $700+ in your pocket and give some good food to your baby. Some mummies might not agree with what i say. Different people have different stand. That's how i feel. Don't destroy the childhood of ur child. Seriously one day when Isaiah grow up, when he think back of his childhood i don't want him to see that is childhood is about courses, flashcards, books, etc.... I prefer him remembering how we spent our times together playing, strolling at the park, shopping, and talking to each other.
Babies will grow better with parents love.. They will learn, Eng, maths, science one day. Scienstist, lawyers, doctors didn't grow up on flashcards and courses.
Anyway i think i've said too much ..
Some pictures taken recently
I'm over 6 kg!
