Maybe I can share with you my journey with my 3rd baby gal :
1. Breastfeeding.
- Breastfeeding for less than a year as 1 day suddenly don't want to drink breast milk.
2. Do not like to drink milk from Milk Bottle from birth till about age 2.
- Got to buy those milk bottle with a spoon to feed her.
- Only drink from bottle if its water.
* Now at the age of 2.3 then she love to drink milk from milk bottle. She can drink up to 1 big bottle of milk + 1 small bottle of water prior to sleep. During her sleep she can drink up to 2-3 small bottle of water.
3. Poor Sleep Cycle.
- Always sleep for 2 - 3 hours and then wake up cry and make sounds.
- ALwasy need to pad her to sleep ...
- First sleep in baby cot and then change to the vietnamese hammock and sing songs to her.
- "Hammock" is her play ground, always climb in and out.
* Suddenly 1 day she stops sleeping in the "Hammock" and Now she sleeps on the bed ... enjoy sleeping in aircon without a blanket.
4. Can eat porridge for 2 hours.
5. My no-no for her.
- NO and was Never on Pacifier.
- NO and Never Suck her thumb.
6. My Daughter Now.
- Loves to eat Strawberry.
- Eats Chocolate.
- Loves to eat things that are sour.
- Occasionally drinks Coke, Pepsi, and etc.
- Love to eat Crab Meat, Chao Ech ...
- Now dine with us with her own bowl and eat with chopsticks.
- Loves Ice Cream and Yoghurt.
- Scared Durian.
- Speak Vietnamese , A little English and can Understand English and Mandarin.
- Loves to seat on bike and can fell asleep on bike.
- Now can Pester you to go Shopping.
7. My Belief.
- When its time for her to turn, she will turn.
- When its time for her to Stand up, she will stand up.
- When its time for her to walk, she will walk.
- When it happens, it will happens.
In Summary, maybe this is my 3rd, so I abit like relax ... however I enjoyed the bringing up of my 3rd gal ...
For you my friend ... this is the time for exploration, understand your wife, understand your baby ... Don't be too stress about it ... otherwise I can GUARANTEE you WILL Missed alot during his growing up ... I probably have missed some parts on my previous 2 daughters ... so I can tell you ... what you have missed will never gona to come back ... Make full use of the time you have and enjoy the journey ..
IF here don't work out, maybe go back to Vietnam for a while and relax and enjoy the growing up ...
Look at wider picture and think thru' what you want to do ...
