Cup Feeds

It's been a few days since Zyan came back home.

Life has been blissful when we were still at hospital.
Life has been interesting since we came back home. Need to wake up in the middle of the night to feed crying baby.
Need to check baby if he had done his pee or poo.

Well, it is good that we got the confinement lady to come on the day of discharge from hospital.
Otherwise, I think it will be quite a mess at home.

Being a big baby boy, he needs to eat a lot.
Initially, the lactation nurses told us to feed 30ml, then 40ml the next day, and the 50ml the day after.
So we were quite obedient. I think first 2 days still alright, but yesterday and today, I think the amount of milk given to Zyan is not enough.
He keeps wailing for more. :P
Why milk? Because for this big boy, the breast milk currently available is not enough. He needs to be supplemented. haha

So when doing milk-feeds, the nurses say do cup-feeding. This is to simulate the baby to suckle for breastfeeding.
And, more importantly. this task is to be assigned to the Daddy.

So here I am, feeding Zyan whenever I can when he needs milk.
See me in action, and Zyan chups for the milk. :)
