Time passes very quickly with baby Sheri around. Before you know it, she is due for feeding and diaper-changing. Even though baby Sheri is fed every 2 to 3 hours, there are a number of tasks that mummy needs to do during the interval between each feeding. Mummy has to sterilise the bottles to make sure that they are ready to be used for the next feeding. At the same time, mummy has to find time to rest, eat, express breast milk and play with baby Sheri so that she does not sleep too much in the day. It is not easy to keep baby Sheri awake in the day as she can even sleep while sitting down.
Fortunately, daddy has been a great help to mummy. He will help feed and change baby Sher
i when he is back from work. During weekends, he will take care of baby Sheri single-handedly as mummy drives out to do grocery shopping. I guess this is what shared parenting is all about.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to decode baby's cries. So, daddy is trying to train baby Sheri to stick out her tongue if she is hungry when he says 'milk milk'to her. Daddy has also devised a new way to burp baby Sheri after feeding by bouncing her up and down his lap.

Hey great that your hb has been such a great help. He must continue to do that. Not easy being mummy. My gal is the other way, she's very wakeful in the day so I don't get to do much but she sleeps well in the night. Your gal is now coming 2 months right? You can try to increase milk given each time to 100-120ml. Heard some say if not sure how much to increase, try 10ml each time and if she finishes that means her tummy is big enough to hold more. At night before bed time, give her fm and probably a bit more. That might help her to sleep longer at night and give you some rest. Joan
Thanks Joan for your suggestion. I'm gradually increasing her milk intake, but my gal is bit erratic at times. Sometimes, she can finish 90 ml of milk at one go but it can also take her a few feedings to finish that at other times. Anyway, her sleeping pattern has improved. Last week, she wakes up only once in the night for feeding, so I can get a few more hours of sleep.
