"Ah Chew...! Ah Chew!" exclaimed the Little Milk Monster ("LMM") who has just had his feed of milk (again). "Orh lah.." says a concerned mami. The LMM was breathing rather heavily, a bit like the engine of a broken motorcycle. "Poor thing..."comforted the mami.
And so the family a.k.a. Liwei, Bel and Grandma, decided to put him on a diet of breastmilk (again) and water to hopefully drown the flu bug in the LMM. This was yesterday.
Today, the LMM seems to be breathing better as his obstructed nostril has since cleared up slightly.
The episode reminded me how fragile the LMM is and how his being unwell can affect the moods at home. Everyone offers a piece of advice. Everyone has an idea of what will work. As new parents, we get a little overwhelmed but I guess now all new parents learn from a multitude of sources including our parents, books, docs, nurses, friends, internet, trial and error, etc. Its always hard to say what will work and its easy for anyone to say that we should have done this or that earlier on. But I find most important is for everyone to have an optimistic and positive attitude for all suggestions. And as parents, we make a decision, we stick by it and will be responsible for the decision.
I am thinking of starting with my annual Christmas preps. Thinking of making a family Christmas postcard for my friends next week.. we'll see how it goes.
