Baby Chloe's last feed was at 9.30pm, and we were expecting her to get up at 11.30pm or 12.00 midnight for her next feed before her long stretch of sleep. Mama was very tired and slept at 11.30pm, I am not too sure what time did Papa sleep. Papa is a very notti man, he is always complaining about his exhaustion. But whenever he got time to sleep, he would stay awake for his TV and Newspaper! MAN!
Anyway, Baby cried and I quickly got up to check on her. Baby Chloe must be hungry i thought, then I had a look at the clock in the DARK. I think I was too tired and my eyes were half-opened that I read wrongly on the time. I thought it was already 6.15am. I thought Baby Chloe did a good job again so I decided to heat up the breastmilk instead of making the formula. Baby Chloe started to cry louder as I was heating the milk.
HOU MEI A?? Papa exclaimed. I went back to the room, saw Papa carrying Baby Chloe.Papa's eyes were trying to search for the milk bottle, and he asked"Where is the milk?" **** FRUSTRATION LOOK SOMEMORE!!!!
I told Papa that the milk is not warm yet and he started to question me in an unfashionable way "Why not Infant Formula??" I was a little agitated by then, and I turned my head left and right. At the moment, then only I could read the clock properly that it was only 2.00AM. Hahaha... Well, there is nothing wrong to feed Baby Chloe with breastmilk since I was heating it already. Papa started to show his so called "MANLY" or "BOSS-LIKED" attitude to me and started to complain complain complain.
Come on, we were all half-awake, just spare me a moment for some peacefulness. I got really really fed up, got the warm milk passed to Papa and had myself on my bed with Mei Mei. I told Papa : HANDLE AlL BY YOURSELF, I AM GOING BACK TO SLEEP! Papa is a strong man, he always thinks that nothing can beat him down. Don't ever threaten him with anything. He ignored me and continued to take care of Baby Chloe.
I could hear Baby Chloe's crying after the feed. I woke up every few minutes to peep at Papa and Baby Chloe. Papa was sitting by the crib, patting the crying Baby Chloe. Hahahaha.... Well, since Baby Chloe is under the care of Papa, I am sure if there is anything Baby Chloe will be attended immediately. Therefore, I went back to my sweet sweet dream.
Haha, when I got up this morning. Papa complained that he got not enough sleep because he only managed to get baby Chloe to sleep at 4am. Muahahahaha......Complain somemore la. Mama will go to sleep and leave it to Papa!!!

A Tragedy
Today I read two very unfortunate news about toddlers, and both news startled me as a mother.
The first news that I read in the morning is about a One-year old child being sexually abused. It was shocking enough to read the heading like this early in the morning, and I was totally disgusted with it when I read the content of it. Oh My God, I exclaimed. How on earth would this insanity happened on a ONE-YEAR OLD CHILD. Due to the high cost of living, the baby girl's parents have no choice but to work in order to earn more dough for the family; and they are forced to send their Baby girl for daycare to their so-called closed friend. One day, mother of the child was changing the baby girl's diaper and found blood stain on her private part. The one-year old baby girl was quickly rushed to the hospital, and doctor found baby girl's private part and anus were penetrated with hard object. Furthermore, doctor confirmed that both new and old wounds were found which means the abuse was performed numerous time before. OH MY GOD!! After I read about it, I can't stop myself from feeling sad about humanity. FucK! This is insane. She is just a baby, a child who does not know how to protected herself from all these bastards!!!! Why should a toddler be involved in such a inhuman act? The cruelty of this humanity is so terrifying which had made me think that I am being too selfish to bring Baby Chloe to this world. I wanted a child, I wanted to build a family of my own and without her permission, I brought her to this world of insanity & insecurity. I asked myself Why? Why? Why? Why it happened on a ONE-YEAR old baby girl? How come there is such a beast survive in our land to ruin our peacefulness and happiness? What happened to our GOD who supposed to protect our children?
*sigh* GOD is not the one to blame. It is us, as a parent, to be blamed of such tragedy. Because we want luxurious life, because of our greed, and because of the material world, we chose to spend our time at the working place rather than home to take care of our babies? Suddenly, I feel ugly! *sigh~~~!!* What to do, we have to be realistic in order to survive in this material world. I was telling hubby, I might consider to quit my job and take care of Baby Chloe by myself. Also, I might not want a second child as I do not wish to bring the purity to this filthy world. All about money, power, sex, fun!!!! Well~~! Will see how it goes.
The second news was about a 6-months old babies died of either suffocation or choked. As again, working parents sent their baby to the babysitter which cost them about RM2K per month. Parents were terrified & collapsed when they received the news of their baby's death. Babysitter and the 6-month old baby were both taking a nap together. Babysitter heard baby was crying but didn't respond to it. After a while, baby stopped crying and babysitter thought that baby was back to sleep. Therefore, she continued her nap without checking on baby. After an hour, babysitter woke up to feed baby, and she found baby was lying on his tummy motionless. She was frightened and immediately carried the baby up and patted his back. The 6 months old baby vomited and face turned black. It was so unfortunate that the baby lost his life before reaching the hospital. Shit! This babysitter is so called the professional Nanny with certificate!!!!! Because of her carelessness, the parents have to suffer the pain of losing their beloved child.
I told myself I can no longer read anymore of these news about child abuse and death caused by carelessness. I just can't stop cursing these people and can't stop myself from thinking what can I do to baby Chloe. What is the best for my Baby to protect her from all these insanities? What can I do? What should I do?
WHAT IS HAPPENING?? WHERE IS HUMANITY?? WHERE IS OUR HEART?? HOW COME THESE BEASTS GOT TO CHANCE TO LIVE IN THIS LAND TO DESTROY OUR TRANQUILITY??

Rashes Attack again!!
Baby Chloe's heat rash is coming back again. I know it wont' hurt Baby Chloe but somehow I felt it was the itchy rash that disturb baby from her sleep. Yesterday, I came back home early from work, and started to look after Baby Chloe by myself. I wiped her face after every feed with filtered water. Then apply Hazeline Snow to cool down her heat rash. Baby Chloe used to hate Hazeline snow because it is very cold when apply to her face. But, now she enjoys it so much that she would smile when I apply the Hazeline Snow on her face and started gurgling too. Happy!!
Today, after a series of filtered water & hazeline snow treatment, her rashes had subsided and it is no longer so redish. Plus, she can go to sleep easier as compared to the last two days. Hooray!

Blood in stools????
Two days ago, my mother found streaks of blood in Baby Chloe's stool. Everyone was terrified except me. Why not me? Baby Chloe is still active, talking much, kicking, boxing and having a good appetite, moreover, no point rushing to the clinic since the Pediatrician sure give me the same answers : It is normal! It is ok! Observe a few more days etc etc.. So, i waited until yesterday night (which I had skipped my KIMUCHI STEAMBOAT for dinner :(**) and brought her to Dr. Ong for a checkup. Well, as expected, Dr Ong told me not to worry and observe for a few more days. He told me to collect the sample of her stool with blood if it happened again and bring it to the lab for a test. However, up till now Baby has not have any bowels yet.
I am not so worried at this point because Babycenter mentioned before that it is normal for a baby not to have any bowels for a few days *up to maximum of 7 days. So, I just leave it for now and observe carefully. I do not really have a chance to observe Baby Chloe 24 hours, so I have to rely on my maid's information. Lousy Mama!
I was guessing whether Baby Chloe is constipated but breastmilk shouldn't cause constipation. Plus, her last stool was also very soft (*watery). Could it be diarrhoea? (*But no vomiting or sign of fever) Could it be simply tearing of her skin when she passed motion? (*Also no sign of injury at her backside). I guess most probably is due to my unhealthy food intake. I have been eating out a lot with my hubby because hubby doesn't like my maid's cooking.
Sigh, notti mama. Stop pushing the blame to papa la. I should take care of my own diet and eating healthily. Less deep fried stuff, no oily food, less caffeine contained drinks, no sambal chillis, more fruits, more vegetarian, more fish. Be a good MaMa!
