after amani's first 2 weeks, which were quite difficult, as she would ask for her bottle every hour and she wouldn't sleep and didn't like the cold, it started to get slightly easier. she still sleeps better during the day, maybe as its warmer, but the gap between bottles at night have gotten longer. she can get 3 - 3.5 hours, once even getting a good 5 hour gap between her bottles. but there've been days where she regress and go back to 2-hourly bottles and those days scare and stress me out. i should get naps during the day to cover the lost of sleep but during the day amira would require my attention so i'm neither here nor there, at the moment.
other than her feeding & sleeping schedules, amani is actually pretty easy to handle. she's ok with her bath and diaper changing. she was wonderful when i had my postnatal massages - she slept through the 2.5 hours and then some. she's undisturbed by the hecticness of abangs in between school. she slept through an outing we had one weekend, from the time we left the house til we reached home 3 hours later. yes, she's really good but i pray the feeding schedule would normalise soon.
amani had her check-up a few days after she turned one month old. alhamdulillah, she has put on weight. she was 2.69kg when she was born and lost a bit during her stay in the special care nursery but has put back on some during her first month. she now weighs 3.6kg. i thought amani be getting her first immunisation but her pead said she will only start on her second month check-up. at her first month visit, she was only given general check up.
alhamdulillah, she's growing real well and healthily in her first month. a vast improvement from the frightening first week she had.
