Transition Period

During this period of time, I'm slowly taking over the "big project" from my Confinement Lady in preparation of her "resignation" on 1st Jan 07. It has been almost a week since I took over her job such as bathing Zachary, washing him after he poo poo, changing his nappy/diaper, feeding him and most challenging of all is breast feeding him.

He has been rejecting me from BF him as I do not have milk for for the first few days. This creates lots of frustration to him and I have to give him formula milk to avoid dehydration and stop his hunger pangs. Sometimes when he sees my Boobs he will scream on top of his lungs, as if like he knows it's time now to milk the cow and working hard with his jaw and sucking power... hahaha..sometimes it's very funny to see him all so frustrated and his face will turn beetroot red! All this bottle feeding and breast feeding creates conflicts and confusion to him. However, with LOTSA patience, determination and persistence he has been doing pretty well. Now he will suckle for at least 15mins for ea breast before he spit it out.

Zach's coming to a month old soon and we are holding his full moon celebration on 30th Dec 07. This is Zach taken between 25th-26th Dec 07.

Zach loves to stretch....notice his legs...
