Misha: 28 weeks

Eating
Solids are still not consistent. Some days she eats well others she is fussing by the end of the meal. Have added pumpkin to the list of foods.
Also started to use the baby bjorn bib. Initially it seemed like it was to big for her but now it seems to fit ok. I think cos she can sit straighter which helps the bib stay in place.

Nursing
Right now we are doing 4-5 feeds and 1 bottle which she usually finishes. So I'm thinking I need to give more than 150ml at night.

I wanted to put up a ROUGH schedule. It's more of my ideal than the actual day:
 7.30am : wake up (sometimes as early as 6.30am!), nurse (I try to wait till 7.30am)
8.00am : send Meera to school (Misha usually falls asleep on the way back)
8.40am : get home, continue napping. (I usually carry her up and she'll continue sleeping)
10.00am: wake up (usually a short nap 30-60 minutes), nurse
11.00am: feed solids, then bath
11.30am: sleep (this nap is usually at least 1.5 hours)
1:00pm: wake
1.30pm: nurse
3.00pm: nap (1-1.5 hours)
5.00pm: fetch Meera
5.40pm: nurse
6.00pm: if she's fussy I put her down for another nap.
7.30pm: change to pajamas
8.00pm: bottle (150ml), story, bedtime
8.30pm: asleep

I am aiming for 11 hours of sleep at night and 4 hours in the day. I notice she can sometimes go longer than 4 hours between feeds but sometimes she is hungry in less than 3 hours. She usually doesn't seem so hungry in the morning which is kinda strange since her last feed was the night before! Also the evenings are quite difficult cos I try to keep her up after her third nap so bedtime isn't too late. But she is quite fussy and needs to be held most of the time.

Sleeping
We moved her into her own room last Saturday so it's been a week of her sleeping by herself. I also got her a lovey (zebra which Meera insisted we name Zizi) which I put at the corner of her crib. She doesn't seem too be attached to it (maybe still early) but she does suck on it every once in a while (I can view this on the monitor).
I think she is actually sleeping better there...not sure if it's a coincidence but I think Jing getting ready for work was bound to have an effect on her. So now she is starting to sleep past 6 am (sometimes up to 7am) I am hoping it reaches 7 am (consistently).
 Initially she would wake up around 5am or thereabouts. But Jing would go and pat her back to sleep (I realize that if I pick her up she will immediately try to nurse so Jing had to do night duty for a while). Within a few days she was able to go back to sleep on her own (with a little bit of fussing) and Jing didn't need to go to her.
We've also left the a/c on throughout the night. (We timed it to turn off at midnight but when Jing went to her he would feel warm and turn it on again. So now we just leave it on). Not sure if that has anything to do with helping her sleep longer. For now we are not messing with what works :)

Doctor's visit
This week we had to go to Putrajaya hospital to find out about her blood results. Not sure if I mentioned this before but when she had jaundice they also checked her blood for other abnormalities and it turned out she had a very low neutrophil count. So we have been going back to the hospital for monitoring. So far she is fine...the doctors are just being cautious. But they keep telling us that if she ever has a fever that persists for more than 3 days we need to bring her in for antibiotics cos her body does not have enough neutrophils to fight off an infection. They say she has neutropenia but so far no symptoms.
The next day was her 6 month checkup and immunization. Her measurements are: weight 6.57kg, height 64cm, head circumference 40.3cm. Overall she is in the lower percentiles.
