Mummy's thought - 3

It is coming to 2 months after I went back to work, and Rayden has also get used to our weekday routine. He sleeps early around 9pm, and usually by the time when we fetch him back from my mother-in-law place, he will KO during the car ride back. And next morning, we will wake him up and bring him back to my mother-in-law place again. Honestly, during weekdays, we hardly spend quality time with him, so I will always make sure that I make up to him during weekends, and it is definitely a must to bring him out, as he enjoys car ride. His night routine is also kinda of stabilized, his last feed will be at 12am, and he usually wakes up again around 5am for the next feed, and sleeps back again. So it is kinda of relief to me, that I can cope and have at least 4hrs - 5hrs of sleep.

I am also going to stop expressing breast milk, as my supply is also getting low. This could due to the lack of expressing session. I only pump once a day, during the night time, therefore my supply has dropped tremendously. Of course, if I could still preserve, I hope to continue with breastfeeding for him, as he has got very sensitive skin, and I am kinda of worried on his allergy when I am going to start introducing semi-solid to him. Luckily his milk intake is good, and also, I have received a lot of advices to start his semi-solid only at 6 months. So I am going to monitor him, before deciding.

Today has been an amazing day for him. He has broke his record, he managed to nap for 3hrs, from 5pm - 8pm after his massage session, together with me. And on top of that, he does not need me to cuddle or carry him, instead I tried out another method introduced by another mummy, Jane to give him pacifier to try, and pat him on bed instead. To my surprise, he took it well and enjoyed it, after awhile he managed to KO on his own, without the usual carry carry method.

I feel so happy, and can feel that he is growing like a big boy, and can understand the mummy's needs, this feeling is something that I know I can never get from my work's satisfaction.
