The 3-week Nanny, Sethia's Mama's-little-sister Aunt: He adores her immediately. :)

"What is most crucial in the journey of parenting is the loving relationship between you and your husband. When this is well, you can rest assured everything else will be taken care of." - Natalia Elok Mjøsund

Day 22.

Day 22.

Sethia's bowel movement has been once a day as usual ever since Sunday. :)

Prescription: Risgrøt (rice porridge).

Lessons learnt:

1. Perhaps there are nothing else that make one pray more meticulously, particularly, and desperately, than having our little ones ill.

2. A baby needs a full tummy - and a calm mother.

As a sister well-said it: "There will be more things to worry..., try to take every hurdle an exercise to manage your parenting worries. Believe me, problems grow as they grow." Thanks, Eu. :)

"Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
... Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend."
- Uphill, Christina Rosseti

3. There are more than physical benefits to trust my own husband above friends, parents, even nurses and doctors! :'P

Baby Poop: What parents need to know

Day. 17. Day 17. About Baby Poop: Must "arm [myself] with the knowledge of what's normal and what's not. ... and teach [myself] a thing or two." :)

Thank you, Santi Effendi, for the wonderful article. It helps put my mind to rest. :)

"... On the other hand, bacteria may have the opposite result. As a baby matures, more and more bacteria populate the gut. They are important to the digestion process and are one of the reason baby stool changes in character over the first few months of life. But as their numbers increase, the body eliminates more and more of them in the stool. Stool bulk increases as the number of bacteria increases, and increased stool bulk leads to more frequent bowel movements. ..."
