Shanna's started going to the babysitter's since yesterday from 9am-1pm.
Mummy, Grandma and Ah Yi misses her while she is away :(
Babysitter was so excited to have Shanna at her place. I hope and pray Shanna and sitter will get along well. On her first day, babysitter has discovered some of Shanna's characteristics, namely her huge appetite, how she cries everytime she wets her diapers and also how she smiles when people play with her.
This week with Grandma here, Shanna has got used to being pacified with a real pacifier and not Mummy's breast. Pacifiers not being enough because nothing comes out of it, Shanna is given water which she drinks eagerly as well. In the effort of making this happen, Daddy and Mummy have bought a total of 5 pacifiers. Shanna still prefers the first and original one she tried, a huge Anakku pacifier that we got out of a gift pack, rejecting the more branded ones like Avent and TippeeTommy. So yesterday Mummy ended up getting another 2 huge Anakku pacifiers for baby.
Initially Mummy was not eager to let baby use pacifier/soother. However, after 3 weeks of baby crying/fussing for the breast everytime she got cranky and wanted to sleep, pacifier and water it is.
Shanna's gaining weight! She is taking in 3.8 ounces of milk every 3 hours, plus 1-2 ounces of water in between (given when she cranks wanting to sleep). She likes to eat. One night during while trying to train Shanna not to wake up at 4am, Mummy and Daddy offered her water. She gulped down 2.5 ounces and still cried for milk. After a tussle, Shanna won that match and she got another 3.5 ounces of milk, which she gulped down in no time at time. She went back to sleep with 6 ounces of liquid in her tummy :O
Did we mention she's a strong-willed child?
