Finally am getting a hang of 'it'! But it isn't easy. I so disagree with people who say that newborns are most predictable. They cry either for food, or if they want to be cleaned up and to the max it's their stomach troubles! So not true! They cry when they want to be burped, they cry when they want to be put to sleep, they cry when they feel hot/cold, they cry when they are not comfortable in their clothes.. These are the few of many reasons that I have so far figured out! It's been 48 days but I still face instances when she cries inconsolably and I am just not able to figure out the reason.
If she cries too much or spits out milk or doesn't sleep properly, I get super hyper and start calling all the pedia's on my phone to know what they have to say- I have this liberty coz my father in law has some good doc contacts. I get paranoid at any hint of discomfort that I see. I am sure all parents do so, or so I would like to believe. Recently I called up her paedia at 11 in the night when she spit out her feed just to be told that it is normal. Not convinced, I pushed Ratish and we took her for a check up. He didn't say anything but his frustration was evident :D He even jotted down symptoms that demand concern so we don't bother him as much! But will anything change, I don't think so.. Am a new mother and I don't want to take chances...
Just the other day I had conveniently tugged her close to my chest.. When in this position, she usually curls up her legs bending her back bone. I thought it was a Kalpz-Thea bonding time.. BUT thanks to my massage aunty, I got to know it could risk bending her backbone :(( Don't know what else I am not doing right :( If I search on the Web, I get sooo worried coz the number of fatal infant situations clash with how Indian kids are brought up.. I can quote so many such things :((
Anyways, we both are getting used to each other and it's like a new discovery every day.. There are days (hours or even minutes) when I miss my normal, carefree life but sometimes I just look at her face and her few antics that make me go awwwwwwwwwww! I have created this beautiful life and she means a world to me! LOVE YOU BEBU!
