5th month ++

I been missign from blogging as im too held up w Edna.. and of cos myself haaa..
Past 2 mth she had antoehr 6 in 1 jab.. 1 more block nose episode which was HELLISH fo rme since the papa isnt ard when she fell sick..

Past 2 mth she learnt to flip.. learn to "wormed" ard the cot... she learnt to flip fr tummy to back.. then later on back to tummy... Early in the morning she will go 'singing' to herself in the cot when she discovered she could 'sing'.. fr sing to scream aft a long while if I do not attend to her (im sleeping heheh)

After a few days she seem to know I wun b bothered LOL.. and thus she stop singing.. jus concentrate on playing herself till I feed her.

Until last week.. she had 5 feed a day. 5am was her 1st feed which was impressive as usualy she wakes up 4 hour sharp at nite. Oh yes i try to giv her more milk.. she usualy drinks 120ml per feed of 4 hourly..
1 fine day i gave her 200ml.. she happily finished it. and that fateful day it happened to be I gave away my stash of frozen EBM! Panicky!! So worried she wun hav enuff milk since I can onli giv her 150 max per pump... feenugreek and MLMMP tablets din work.. instead supply drop.. aft a few days of stopping these supplement and eat birdnest daily. supply back to normal.. phew....
and 2 weeks plus later aft she drink 200ml daily.. my lil fella here slept thru! for 4 days she hard her milk between 9-10 pm.. go to sleep... wakes up make a bit of noise early int he morning and bkto sleep w/o any assistance! 4th day she cant b bother to maek noise anymore! She gets her milk ard 8.30 to 9.30 am every morning..Effectively she hav 4 feeds a day! And to make up for the amount of milk she needs. 1st and last feed I giv her 240ml while day time feed she gets 200ml. that makes approximately 900ml a day w 4 feeds!

I would say I am proud of myself w Edna's training. Thou the sleeping thru came a bit later than I expect(i targeted 3 mths)... but I reminded myself Edna is a fussy bb... For a fussy baby who can sleep and nap on her own since birth.. and then sleeping thru now... flip n 'crawl' pretty fast...what more can I ask for?

Excet for this am.. suddenly she cry for v long while at 6 am asking for milk. Nt sure if she is realy hungry or any discomfort prob due to teething. so I waited 15 mins for her to cry.. and fed her... Then later on in the day it occurs to me she wasnt hungry this am.. suspected some discomfort in her gums as she did not drink well for the nxt 2 feed. she onli had 120 ml of milk for 2 feed. which is like 60% of her usual intake.. worrying... she prob tot she need to go on diet? since she is due for check up cum jab on weds.

LAst check up she was 5.6kg at near 62 cm. wonder hw heavy is she now... I must admit ever since she had 200ml per feed.. i can feel her bones grown bigger and heavier... putting her into baby bjorn carrier is stressful to my back too!

past 2 days I also let her try on some plain water. 30 ml each time. she gave a weird look. but nonetheless she drank up everythg. I started on plain water since I am not gg to start her on cereal this month. she is 5 mth 2 weeks for now. but for health sake n allergy reasons I decded that she is onli getting her cereal aft 6 mth.. and since dec is a busy month for me.. I decided on 1st january for her to take cereal.

Hunting down a few brands of cereal for her. Organix fr vitakid, healthy times organic brown rice cereal... and Heinz (cant find it for now as its out of stock). Will giv her the above mentioned cereal just inc ase if any brands goes OOS, then there willl be other brands available.
Despite I do not want to giv her bottled food.. I guess I might jus do it once or twice for the sake of letting her try in the event if we travel and no freshly cook food available for her. Good to try now since I will know if she will get allergic to the bottle food anot. Not funny if she get allergy during our trip!
Looking at avoacado as well as potato for her 1st puree toos! Wun giv her carrot n banana as yet as they r sweet. which might put her off to eating yucky veggies. and banana give quite a bit of phlegm .

And talking bout trip.. little Edna got her passport done! we r gg on a trip nxt week! YAY!! Her first flight... lucky girl!!!

I shall post some potos soon.. After her 3rd jab i promise!
