Yeaps. As the title reads, we’ve been on a break from this blog. Reason: Baby Jayda – just too tired to blog as she’s growing so fast!
We’ll try and revive this blog in time… in the mean time, an update from Jayda doing her exercise

Regulating the temperature in the room is such a pain. Too hot (aircon at 27 degrees) then Jayda sweats when swaddled. Too cold (aircon at 25degrees) then she gets a blocked nose.
Had such a hard time cleaning out her nose early this morning because she couldn’t sleep the whole night crying every one hour .. sigh… now waiting for my mom and mother-in-law to look for a bamboo mat to put on her bed; it’s supposed to regulate the temperature better than fabric.

I was at the local convenient store this morning. Mom told me to get Enfalac A+ Step 1 by Mead Johnson. Was scouting high and low just to find that they were out of the A+ ones. Frustrated me!~
Saw another brand, S26 Gold which is slightly cheaper. Called mom but she insisted on Enfalac A+. There was an Enfalac without the A+, but as I later found out, A+ Triple ProGard, DHA & ARA, Dwiserat as well as Zinc, and Vitamin A which is essential to a baby’s growth. Mom told me that it was the top brand being recommended by the doctors.
I read somewhere in the Internet that according to most pediatricians, Enfalac A+ is the closest to mothers’ milk. For Enfalac A+ milk preparation, it is 1 scoop to 1 oz of water.
Well back to the shopping trip, I went back with a box of Mead Johnson Enfalac A+ (Step 1, which is for newborns). Cost me MYR 60.90 (USD 19), a few Ringgit more than Wyeth or S26. Jayda seems happy with it, so no complaints from me

Next question we asked the nurses – how much milk in a bottle at any one time, given that it is advisable to keep it for only one and a half hours?
Answer: It depends on the weight of your baby. General rule of thumb, 1 oz per kilogram.
Since Jayda’s about 3.2kgs, it would be about 3oz, or 89 milliliters
