Yippee, Shauna and I are going home tomorrow night. Lil Shauna is finally going to see how her home and room looks like. Feel abit gan cheong. I think Daddy Lim is feeling the same way too. ;p I think my mum is not too keen about the idea. I noe, she's just worried. Still, we have to start adjusting to the new routines. Afterall, I have to return to work in 1.5 mths' time. Oh gosh, time flies with Lil Shauna around. Was on the fone with S a while ago. She was asking me if I miss work. Well, not really, but probably yes in a few more weeks' time. I remember lamenting to my mum just 2 days ago that I am not cut to be a full-time mother. Hehe. I am looking to losing weight and buying new clothes to go back to work. Of course, not so much on the work part, but the shopping (oops, sorrie boss).
I asked Daddy Lim to keep Lil Shauna awake yday evening so that she can sleep more in the night. She finally fell asleep after a 10mins' suckle at 9+pm. I think she woke up for her feed at 10+pm and she slept all the way to 2am. In fact, she didnt wake up at 2am. I was worried that she would be hungry and woke her up for her feed. She only suckled for 15 mins and refused to bulge. The next thing that I noe, she was crying for her milk at 6.30am. She only woke up 2x in the night! I fed her again at 9+am and 1+pm just now. Each time, she only suckled for about 20+ to 30+ mins. Then I started sms-ing Daddy Lim and asking him why Lil Shauna is sleeping so much and not drinking. Sob! She's already so tiny, she need more milk.
Ya, I noe, it is a big irony. When she keeps crying for milk, I am worried that she will be overfed and hope that she sleeps alittle more. When she starts sleeping and only wakes up 2x in the night, I am worried that she's sick or not feeding well for watsoever reason. Looks like I am really a mummy liao, onto a path of constant worrying for the little one that I have just brought into the world.
Hmm.. anybody noes? Is it normal for a baby to only wake up 2x in the night for her feeding?

some babies can sleep thru the night! while it's convenient for the parents, it also means baby doesn't get the night feed which also means losing out on their milk intake.
I'm also a gan cheong spider when it comes to drinking enough. I'd go to her even if she doesn't cry for milk at 2 hrs' interval in the past.
I suppose if you let her be, she may continue to sleep well at night and when it becomes a habit, you both can really sleep well and wake up feeling fresh every morning :)
