P.s: scroll down further for my labour story :)
Wow... its really not easy being a first time mommy wor.. Celeste is 3 days old now.. and she is on total breast feeding...
I am giving her feeds every 2 - 2.5 hours.. But in the afternoons, i try to give her every 1.5 hours and mostly 2 - 2.5 hours in the nights.. she feeds on each side for about 20 mins.. but after some advices and baby's habits, i am letting her latch on one side for 20 mins at least then switch to another side for as long as she wants but also exceeding 20 mins.. PD say her reserves will be used up by now and i need to feed her more.
First 2 days in the hospital, she dun have signs of jaundice, but upon discharge, she was tested jaundice level at 8.8.. thou mild but i have to let her drink more to expel the jaundice in her..
I havent been sleeping cause i am trying my best to give her as much as possible. but i know rest more will have more milk, so alvin will take over when he wakes up and i will sleep until shes ready for her next feed..
It is very tiring but very joyful to be a mother. When i see her, all the pain and worries jus disappear. Im glad hubby is arnd to support me thruout.. :)
Heres Celeste Loh Yun Ting (Luo Wan Ting)
p.s. : its really tough to take picture of her with her eyes open.. cause when shes alert, im bz breastfeeding.. haha.. after she finish her feed, she will be all relaxed and doze off.. pictures below.. alert level is.. 75% - 80 %..
Enjoy...
