It had been 2 mths since I started relactation. It's tougher as compare with lactating after delivery.
With the 3 demanding more and more attentions, I just couldn't afford to find time to pump every 2-3 hrs.
The milk has come in, but it's about 5-10ml each expression. This is another discouraging factor.
Try to nurse directly? It had been 4mths since the last time babies nurse directly from it. Baby hung & juin still remember how to latch on. However, with the limited flow, they loose interest and get impatient once they are hungry.
With the limited flow, I still considering should I persist on, or should I just call it a quit.
It's another tough decision to make....

Was feeling very sad, tears just couldn't stop rolling down the cheeks. Was carrying cubby-syuen at the same time. He kept looking at me as if he understands. When he saw my tears roll down, the corner of his lips went downwards, then immediately he gave me a sweet smile as if he is trying to cheer me up. When i smile back, his tiny hand reach out for my face and gave me a 'sayang'.
He is so lovely and sweet.
His smiles had washed away all my unhappiness.
Thank you cubby-syuen!

Sleep pattern 2
Cubbies all have their individual sleeping style & pattern.
Cubby Hung - he had just started learning to "bulldoze" (pushing forward with his head on the ground). Whenever he's sleepy, he will start to bulldoze from one end of the bed to the other end. He will only stops when his head kept pushing against something. He will then lay down to rest.
Cubby Syuen - quite independant, once he's sleepy, he wants to be put onto the bed. Not so much of carrying to sleep. If he's not put onto the bed, he will cries & scream.
Little cubby Juin - he's active and full of energy. He will not rest if he's still full of energy. Hence, we need to give him lots of kickings and jumpings during the day in order to use up his energy. However, if he's too active, he refuse to rest even when he's sleepy. He will keep on jumping till he is over-tired & exhausted. When this is the case, he will be extreamly fusy and refuse to calm down. So, we'd to be very observant. Once, he has shown sign to sleepy such as yawning/rubbing his eyes, we need to begin calming him down. Way to calm him down: cubby-angel's hug & singing. 'twinkle twinkle little star' is d no.1 song in calming him.

sleep pattern
This is 2nd nite cubbies r resting early. Thou it's still not as early as other babies, I'm still very glad & satisfy with their progress.
Usually they only goes to bed earliest by 2am, these 2 days, they are asleep bout 1230am. There're still 1 round of feeding after 12. By the time complete feeding, it's already 130am. To most people, this is consider as Late, but to us, it is a BLESSING, considering they used to take turns waking up throughout the night at the initial stage.

Hopefully, cubbies will continue to sleep early or may be even earlier as they grow older. :)

cubbies 1st reunion dinner
2011 Feb 2nd, 年三十
This is cubbies very 1st reunion dinner. They are still too young to be excited, but cubby-angel and cubby-daddy are busy thinking and planning how to transport them & what items to bring to let them feel comfortable during dinner time.
Just like usual, we will be having reunion dinner with the LEE's relatives. Lucky thing, the dinner is held at one of relative's house.
We had packed extra clothings, diapers, muslin clothes, whole tin of milk powder, milk bottles, hot & cool water and not forgetting a single bed mattress.
No regret in bringing the mattress along, cos cubbies could get to nap whenever they felt tired. They also get to free their hands and legs, stretching themselves before the next adult pick them up again.
The adults enjoyed these 3 additions.

As for the cubbies, they enjoyed the crowd and most of all, they got lots of carrying and playing.
Reunion ended bout 11+. Cubbies were tired and fell asleep on the way back home.
However, they got excited again once they arrived at home. May be, they understand the Chinese Custom of staying up late on the New Year's Eve. They stayed up till almost 3am... *yawn yawn* for the cubby-daddy and cubby-angel.
