My dear yauyau (I have decided to stop calling her baby) is five months old today! I find myself falling more and more in love with her everyday. I think she has passed that terrible crying stage which drive all of us crazy. Well, she still cries, but is much easier to handle (maybe we have became more skillful), and there are always the bouncy chair or the walker or some chewable toys to pacify her. And she is smiling when we make faces at her. Her happy laughter has that magical uplifting effect. I enjoy her so much!

One significant change during the past month is her feeding habit. She has extended her feeding cycle to about once every 3.5hr to 4hr. It worried me initially. I was afraid that will affect my supply, so I tried to make her nurse every 3hr, but she just wasn’t interested. If she isn’t hungry, there is no way I could make her eat. She would just turn her head away and amuse herself looking at other things. So be it if that is the natural process. Good for me too, I have more time to do other things without having to worry she needs to be fed again.
