Being a super gao zeh (troublesome) mummy, I wrote a page long of letter to Reverie's infant care teachers to remind them certain issues when dealing with her.
Working in the same line, I dunno why I can still get so gao zeh, LOL! Might be because over-reading of books and knowing too much facts can get you too over also =X
And I have to admit I'm the kind of parent me myself hate as a teacher, friggin' irritating and overprotective. LOL!
Anyway, here goes!
Dear Teachers,
Please kindly take note of the following
1. My mother & I have noticed that the diaper cream has been applied to the extent of her private area. Kindly make sure that it's around them and not inside them. This is to prevent any possible infection from occurring.
2. As mentioned before, reheat her breast milk to warm, not scorching hot and cool them down again. The over reheating temperature will kill all the antibodies in them.
3. As Reverie has issues drinking from bottle, I understand that lots of milk is being wasted. But please take note not to reheat and feed her milk that's over an hour old after being taken out from the fridge.
4. Do not feed Reverie plain water until she's being introduced to solid as it’s known to dilute blood for infants below 6 months of age (or before solid is being introduced) once over-drank.
5. As Reverie couldn't drink much from her bottle, please feed her in shorter intervals whenever she's ready (not sleeping & etc)
6. I believed that Reverie is a girl who needs to take longer time to get used to things (like her bottles & etc). If teachers are willing, teachers can start to introduce to her the rice cereal that's being provided. 1 or 2 teaspoon initially will do. This is also to make up for her low drinking issues.
7. Lotion form powder or pure cornstarch powder are provided because of talc-made powder are known to caused ovarian cancer. Just a reminder for teachers not to use them on her.
Overall, I thank all the teachers for being such a great help for taking care of her as it take a huge load off my mind, appreciate it greatly!
Thanks & Regards
Callie, Reverie's Mummy.
LOL! I think if I recieve one letter like this as a teacher I sure think this Laobu really siao ding dong -.-
But I decided to write like this because there are so many things to say so I think it's better to put them in a list rather than say one by one.
I think say one by one they find me more irritating loh!
Anyway so far Reverie's doing pretty well in her school, I personally like her teachers alot and I find them very patient.
For her bottles issues, not exactly up to normal infant standard because really have to see her mood. But she suckle from it. Just that the quantity is very low.
Highest so far is 140ml. Others would be like 40ml, 30ml, 70ml, 90ml and etc.
Better than she starve herself for 9 hours in 3 days when I started working what! lol.
Shall blog again next time! Just wanna share how gao zeh I am as a parent LOLOL!
