needs getting used to.. sleepless nights ahead.. since Daddy always playing games at night and do not sleep until 2-3am, i tasked him to warm up the milk and feed the bb at 1-2am last night, in the end, he still get my MIL to do it.. not that i am a light sleeper but daddy needs to learn how to change diaper, carry bb, warm milk and feeding Cepheus too! Since i just finish pumping milk at 12am, i need to get as much sleep as possible (pump 3 hourly) so that i can wake up at 3am to pump again, and to which, i will take over Cepheus feed at 4-5am.. I woke up at 330am to express my milk and warm up Cepheus feed before he awake (as he cries very loud, i don't want him to wake up my MIL and his Daddy) however, Cepheus did not wake up for his feed until 515am .. as he have difficulty feeding and breathing at the same time, he takes longer to finish his milk at times, and as he wet his diaper he is in no mood to finish his milk, i have to change his diaper halfway through his feed before he will down his milk again..he finally finish his milk only at around 6am plus and thinking that i can finally get my rest.. i am totally exhausted for my coming pumping session.. my friend told me that this will be on-going for the first 8 weeks at least, after which, Cepheus should be able to sleep longer through the night.. i really hope so, as i have so many things to do at same time, feed, change and express out the milk for him.. is quite tiring, esp in the wee morning.. and for the rest of today, whenever i get a chance, i try to get some sleep during the hourly interval between his feeding and my milking session..
Rest well SP!
Hi, I happen to chance upon your blog and I understand the feeling of being first time parent.
My son and daughter is born a few days before Cepheus and it is tough taking care of 2 babies at the same time so I can fully understand the stress you face.
It is the same for my wife too as she is busy expressing milk for our babies.
She is planning to stop breast milk as it is getting tiring after our CL left.
Dun worry too much and enjoy parenthood. 8-)
