Baby Growth Spurt

Dearest Cepheus,

Your mummy is having a infection on her cesarean wound. Hence your primary caregiver for weekend is gonna be me and your grandmother. It seems like you have decided to become cranky while your mummy cannot take care of you. You have been crying and refusing to sleep since last night, waking up every 30mins. No amount of carrying and cuddling can comfort you. I suggested feeding you but your mummy and grandmother is worried that we will overfeed you as they have fed you not too long ago. Nevertheless they listen to me and after feeding, you went to bed quietly. It seems like you are going through a stage they called "Growth Spurt" which means you need to be feed more often and you will be fussier than usual.

It was really tiring for me as I have been carrying, cuddling, feeding and comforting you for the whole of today as your grandmother needs to cook and wash. I am sorry if we had accidentally starved you. As 1st time daddy and mummy, we are inexperience.

Learn from us son, so that next time when you are a daddy yourself, you know how to handle your own kids. I'm sharing my fathering experience(learn through the hard way as your grand daddy didn't share his fathering experience with me) with you through this blog. I will share more of my life experiences with you as you grow up. If you are well behave, I might even share some of my "girl wooing kung fu" with you but please keep it from your mummy. ;p

*Lesson learnt today: Feed baby on demand. If they want to drink, feed them. If they refuse to, don't force them.*


Love always,
daddy
