Jia you, I think the interrupted sleep should soon pass, at most a few more mth...gambate! But I think u should try a sling or something. My helper uses the sarong sling for milk feeds sometimes (the lil girl keeps jumping off lap) - her arm is usu wrapped ard baby like normal carrying. It takes away some of the weight & acts as safety harness (cos I'm scared Christine will fall off if she struggles.) When baby is drowsy, u can relax ur arm
I don't know how to use sling well but my helper is very good with it.
I think I have to wake up at 1x per night for milk feed for quite some time cos Christine's a tiny grazer. She drinks abt 700-1000ml per 24 hrs but weighs only 8.5kg & measures abt 70-72cm. She eats 3 meals but small portions. She loves rice & porridge & meat but hates mushy stuff (ie most fruit & cereal). pui pui pui She only eats pear & apple. I blend meat & carrots for porridge, everything else is cut in tiny chunks now.
How much does yr girl drink? Maybe u try putting a tiny bit of meat to flavour the porridge to get her used to taste.
Yes, every baby will have the stroller struggle, esp when she can walk. For now, Christine seems to struggle less. We use distraction - let her hold biscuit box, special sweet wrapper or sing to her. She just freezes at times. Or I flatten the stroller, so she can't arch her back. HAHAHa.
If u have a pair of extra hands, it makes a lot of difference.
I'm not patient towards adults, I'm only nice to kids cos they are so cute. It helps that I have a wicked sense of humour, so I actually enjoy SOME (not all) kids' pranks & silly tantrums.
I prayed very hard during preggie cos if my baby has special needs, I told God then I will have no time or energy for other kiddies. I feel very blessed. Even my hubby who's very scared of babies, enjoys Christine (but he's still very lazy).
Hope your baby gets well soon! Some mummies give baby vits. (appeton, I think) We still sterilise hands cos I bought too many bottles.
Don't worry, when she starts to talk, it should get more fun. You must think positive!

My girl can't finish her food too. And she hates meat. Whenever there is meat in her porridge, she would spit everything out. Guess meat requires chewing and she is lazy to chew.
Glad that Christine has been putting on weight What's her weight now? My baby is about 9.5kg. Can you imagine I have to carry and rock her for 1-2hrs before she sleeps??? My back and arms are breaking. Sometimes (increasingly) when we are out, she would struggle when placed in the pram and I have to carry her...
My girl can understand (I think) "no", "kiss", "bye bye", "clap hands", "twinkle stars", but that seems to be it.
I'm trying to encourage her to talk by pointing out objects etc to her. Let's hope her first word appears soon.
You sound like a really patient Mummy ping. Wish I could be like that. My girl has been testing my patience from Day 1. Sometimes, I get so frustrated I break down And whenever we are out, I can't help wondering why my girl isn't as guai as other babies...
Oh, and my girl is sick AGAIN! She has been having a fever every 2 weeks! Since she was 9mths!!!!!!!!! Every 2 weeks!!!!!!! SIGH.
