To 2013
When I looked back of 2013, these words came to my mind first: round the clock, education, schools, live in chaos, food safety, my Breastfeeding Journal app (on Google Play), work, life, balance, live in fear, landlord, decoration, paints, legwork.
New Mum's new experience
How to know a baby is over cold or over hot: my trick is to feel her nose-tip. If her nose-tip feels cold, that means that she is really cold and she needs more clothes. Another rule is also very useful: When a baby is active, running around, she usually should wear one layer less that the mum wears. When she is in the pram, she should wear one more layer than the mum wears.
How to know a baby starts not to digest well: some early signs to watch out: when the baby starts to have looser and looser poo, she often has some digestion problems and her food might be too greasy.
How to know a baby starts feeling unwell: when a baby is not teething and suddenly starts drooling a lot, that is the early sign to watch out when she feels unwell.
The color of a baby's poo could tell a lot of interesting information about the baby's well being. For example, my baby had Amoxillin for a week and then she had digestion problem, say. vomitting all her dinner at one night, and the day after, the color of her poo is kind of white which says that her tummy is fragile and plain and soft food should be given to her.
My baby also caught Hand, Foot, Mouth disease. She started drooling a lot, really a lot, needing to change a bib every other hour, for the two days, but she was active which did not give a feel that she was sick or she would be. Then red spots appeared around her mouth and the redness is like that kind of red when her skin gets allergic reaction to some tomato juice after her lunch, so still nobody was too alert by that. Until red spots appeared on her hands, did not the staff get alert immediately. Because this disease was very contagious, I had to bring her back home immediately. The doctor did not prescribe any medicine because it is virus and there is not any medical cure for it. So she stayed at home for a week and fought against virus very hard. During this week, I remember that her appetite was poor and she wanted more sleep. After ten days, red spots around her mouth and hand were nearly invisible and then she was allowed to go back to the nursery. Luckily she did not spread it to other kids later.
