Sleeping pattern

Actually before I move back from my wld place to serangoon, he had very good sleeping pattern. Wake up only once at night. But after moved back here, we really had hard time. My dad call him "Be Kor Ah Xia" (American Master in dialect), cos he wake up at night and sleep in day which is like US timing. Anyway there is also pro and con. Anyway currently he only wake up 3 times at night but each time just to feed him will milk, then he will fall alseep. The trick is must feed till he is really full then he will fall alsleep and don't play with him. Then Day time while he sleep I can do my thing, like cleaning and laundrying. Till around 12 pm then can bath him. After bath him, I also can rest with him again.

Maternity Leave
I thought I will miss work more, but over the time actually I think if possible to be a SAHM(Stay at home Mother) I will like to become one. Maybe when we got our own house. Then I don't mind taking care and Xanthus everyday. Currently I am so use to be with him. Will really miss him, sometime just let him taken care by some care taker. I just wanna to go home asap, just worried he is throwing his tantrum to the care taker. Another month left to be with him Full time.

Smile
He is in his 2nd mth, he start to smile and some time will make some gigaling sound. It is more obvious when he is sleeping. But it is very hard to catch his smile.

Breastfeeding
To my surprise , after I stop for 2 full week (When I am so tired due to his timing switching, then also due to I don't have a proper diet, mostly eat instant noodle or instant food. ). I tried to let him latch on and he actually quite alright to get breastmilk. But I tried to make it a habit once a day, better then don't have. Maybe jus an appetizer to him, then to me also better. I don't have to waste to to express out. Sometime when he is too too hungry he will reject, cos maybe the milk flow is not as fast as bottle feeding. But I just try to let him latch as often as I can. (If he is alright with it). At first I still worried abt nipple confusion and afraid after feeding on formula he will reject breaskmilk, as breastmilk is not as sweet as formula milk.

Feeding
Currently, I stop holding him in my arm when feeding him, cos he is growing. I start to cannot tahan his weight resting on my hand or leg for long time. I start to use short cut, let him drink in his sarong, or his rocking chair. So far so good, I also start lazy to do burping for him. If he is uncomfortable he will cry, then I will hold him up and rest his chin on my shoulder to do the burping.

Magical tool
Finally , my mother got him a "Yaolan", It is really a good tool. Sometime at night we are too tired, just swing him a little. Then he start to fall alseep again, and we don't need to hold him up in our hand. Phew.... We just let him sleep alternately in the Yaolan or on his one bed. But I think he still used to bed. Cos in the Sarong he cannot to streching, while on his bed he can do whatever he want.

Just another few more days he will reach his full 2nd month and moving on to his 3rd month.

We will be bring him to Johor after his 2nd month... hmm quite looking forward. But also worried he will need time to settle down. Cos everytime we switch a place he will need time to adapt.

But last night we moved back from wld again, this round he able to adapt back quite fast. Maybe is due to the portable yao lan....
