My crying baby won't sleep

And so one month has passed, and suddenly baby S does not want to sleep, the moment i lay her down, she starts screaming so i had to Google 'understanding babies cries' : ).... yes that was how desperate i got and i found this on YouTube which is very helpful. I dont really understand the cries like Priscilla Dunstan does but it gave me an idea that her crying was because of gas.

She actually has her DVD on youtube if you can search 'Baby language lesson 1 part 1'


Anyway, The lactation consultant at the hospital told me that if i breastfeed my baby, i don't need to burp her, but i guess my milk supply was overwhelming that sometimes she swallows the milk with big gulps which i would think she is swallowing air. So now I burped her after every meal and i also Googled on baby tummy massage and that was helpful too. After two days of gassy stomach she actually slept really well. So here i'll include the video which i found helpful


there is heaps on youtube on how to massage babies tummy. 

Syifaa bt Farez

Alhamdulillah my second child was born on the 15th of May 2013, weighing 3.0kg , born via an elective cesarean at 39 weeks.  I decided cesarean as i fear of possible complications either on my side or baby's side, she is much too precious to risk anything at this point of time.

I was in the hospital for 5 days, I had the all clear on day 4 but baby had to stay a day longer just to monitor her health to check if she had signs like my first born which might need extra medical attention but all praise to Allah, she's perfect andI pray she will remain healthy all her life.

Baby girl is one month now

Sleepless nights is not something you would love but all i can say is im thankful and grateful im getting the chance to go through it, as long as baby girl is healthy i don't mind staying up all night. I keep on saying to myself that ' You never know how long this moment will last, so cherish it and be thankful'.

So anyway, i did not have pre-eclempsia this time, so to those who got pre-eclempsia  the first time around, dont worry too much about the chance of getting it again for your second pregnancy because you might not get it at all... Basically my diet was eating alot of fruits and veggies, drinking 2 to 3 cups of milk at least a day and cooking food with less salt (some doctors say this makes no different) but this is what i did and thank god i didn't have to go through it again.

Thank you all for your prayers... may Allah reward you with good health, good wealth (sincerely im saying this) it means a lot that you have prayed for her to be born healthy. Till we meet again on my next post.

Tahniah kepada Jay and Reen yang dah menunnggu lebih kurang sama tahun with me nak dapat this bundle of Joy, To those dalam TTC group yang masih mencuba you guys don't give up, because Allah knows when is best.
