Roseola Infantum (three-day-fever)

First bath at the Hospital (Aug 07)
Look, the way she cries now is exactly same as the look when she was born. She is very sick this week and had a fever for nearly 5 days... finally, the doctor said she got the ROSEOLA INFANTUM (like a heat rashes) thing that occurs on most babies between 9 months to 1.5 yrs old. While she was suffering from this illness, she is also teething at the same time.... poor chloe, having two things happening at the same time, she was very very grumpy and refused to eat solid, ignoring ppl, etc.

The World Family program is the best thing to keep her mood better.... thank god!

Sleep like a Koala

Now, Chloe is eight month old, when i do the night feed, she always sleeps on my shoulder like a Koala after each feed, very sweet and peaceful. Now we have lots of interactions like:-

Hello (wave hand)
Goodbye (wave hand)
Clap hands
Sit
Up
Give me five
Peekaboo
also a secret one (not going to tell everyone)

She really enjoys walking with our support, she always wants to walk and walk..... we are exhausted. Finally, father bought her a baby walker so she can have a bit of excitment by walking around the house and explore new stuff by herself. I am still looking forward to see her crawl........ not sure she can do this before 10-month.

STILL BRESATFEEDING???????????

STILL BRESATFEEDING??????????? ENCOURAGING EMAIL FROM JACQUALINE

today, i got an email from my friend Jacko, here are our converstaions:~

still breastfeeding?!? Now I really need to get to know you again! You're surely a very very good mother, sacrificing time and freedom. It's too tough for me and I only tried a week or so and gave up. I was so down and depressed having to breast-feed, change diaper, bath, wash, etc. and repeat these for 24 hrs a day. I did pumped milk for Darryl for a month or so but that's it really. I just went with the bottle. It's good that you can insist cos' it's good for her health and it's a long lasting, lifetime advantage over bottle fed babies. When she catches virus or other disease later on in her childhood or adult life, it'll definitely take her a shorter time to recover, and the symtoms won't be as serious either. KEEP IT UP!! Cheers, Jackie

My reply:
Thanks for your note and encouraging word..... yes, i am still breastfed my baby exclusively + trying some solids twice a day. to you and many mothers, they think it's cool someone like me can breastfeed my baby for so long, and i do enjoy it very much while you see a little one who is so naive and fully depend on me while she really enjoys the comfort of being fed in this way.

But ......... it's very sad you hear compliant from your loved one who think you are not good enough. I am mentally exhausted to hear my husband says "oops, you forgot to put diaper into the bin" or "you forgot to put tissue into the bin" or "you forgot this or that" and says "you always need someone who follow your mess" , it seems there will not be perfectly right while i am doing ONE small mistake out of TEN everyday..... yet i do sleep till 10-11 am most of the day he said, but he never thinks how many timessss i wake up at night to comfort baby and do the night feedings. If the email was written by him, I won't feel exhausted mentally and physically and thank god someone who do appreciate my hard work. After read your email, i feel even more sad why people think so different in different angles.
