Ever since the pacifier was introduced to Eva, we have alittle more peace than before. I was quite skeptical in giving her the pacifier for fear of many things, such as her teeth growth, the shape of her mouth/lips, hard to make her quit etc. In addition, Dawn never had one and thus hope that Eva follows her Jie Jie.
But every child is different. And Eva needs the pacifier for comfort sometimes.
I have since let the worries go; I chose peace. Worries can come later – live one day at a time for this matter.
The pacifier can’t stick to Eva’s mouth and sometimes Dear had to get out of the bed every 3-5 mins to put the pacifier back to her mouth. I googled for help and it’s seems to be normal for most babies. And in the market, there’s only 1 product that claims that it will help to stick the pacifier into the baby’s mouth. And that’s WubbaNub Infant Pacifier.
It’s a pacifier that is attached to a small soft toy, the weight of the soft toy is supposed to help keep the pacifier in the baby’s mouth. You get to chose the soft toy!
We chose the duckie one because it’s vibrant in colour plus it’s cute!
And here’s Eva with her duckie!

Yup, 2 months and still going!
This was taken on 2i May 11 — 3 and a half packets of expressed milk + 2 bottles of ready-feed inside the fridge.
Today, it’s 5 packets of expressed milk plus 6 bottles of ready-feed inside the fridge.
I am only human…I don’t quite like the inconvenience that had caused me – must watch diet, must watch the time (to pump), must spend 1o mins to wipe the bottles & pump dry to prepare for feeds, must bring the pump and Fridge-to-go along for long away-from-home trips, must warm the milk when Eva is crying loudly for milk, must watch for leaking breasts, etc etc…
But I know the importance of breast milk for babies. And of course the $$ that we can save on.
I have since reduce the number of pumps I do each day, to get ready to go back to work. But I am in such dilemma sometimes. I have quite a good supply this time (as compared to Dawn’s time), but yet I can’t reach an agreement with the inconvenience that was caused. Haiz…
For now, I just express whatever there is and until the time the body tell itself to stop producing…
