House was a riot (comparably) yesterday as Jun Lee was very noisy, in a good way. She was babbling a lot and very loudly and happily. Must be from the relief after the vomiting incident a day back.
In fact she was so loud she scared Jun Yen, who's usually the noisier one into silence. Jun Yen must be wondering where the loud voice that sounds like her's is coming from!
By night though Jun Yen had gotten past that and was babbling happily with Jun Lee. It was like a contest to see who was the loudest. Needless to say we didn't get to watch much telly, hehe...

Phasing in formula...
In anticipation of switching them completely to formula, we decide to begin mixing in feeds of formula between the breast milk, maybe 2 feeds out of 4 during the day.
Started yesterday, and by 2pm, Mom called me in a bit of a panic as Jun Lee vomited after the formula feed.
Turned out they fed both with formula around 10am, and both drank eagerly. Around 12, Mom heard Jun Lee crying a bit and went in to see the bed wet with the milk she had thrown up, which by Mom's account was pretty big. Jun Lee went very limp and pale, and both Mom and Dad rushed off to the nearby clinic with Jun Lee. Doctor wasn't in, and by the time they arrived Jun Lee was more animated and color had returned. So back home they all went. In restrospect, if you, a full grown adult had thrown up your lunch, you wouldn't look so hot either...
After that, attempts to feed her (with mother's milk) were resisted as Jun Lee now appeared to have a bit of a phobia with milk.
This persisted until I returned home after work and tried without much success as she wanted to sleep more than feed.
Yesterday night she slept with us, and by the midnight feed was pretty much back to her old self, sucking her thumbs and gurgling. We reduced the size of the feeds to 3oz instead of the normal 4.5oz to get her to drink, but it seemed she was alright, and hungry!
Will lay off the formula for a while. In consultation with the formula customer care people and the nurse at the clinic, it is highly likely that her digestive system was accustomed to the easy to digest mother's milk, and the introduction of the formula in a rather large quantity (5oz) caused her digestive system to reject it. When we begin phasing in formula again this weekend, we'll do it in small quantities and hope it goes okay.

Shameless...
The candidates list announced in the papers today was very interesting. On the whole however, it was depressing stuff and the rakyat are about to be taken for another 5 year ride...
MCA for one announced heartily that it will be fielding a lot of new blood, but I wonder, if the new blood will do any more to advance the cause of the Chinese in Malaysia, or more of the same. More of what? You know lah...
There was also an article on the children following their parents footsteps. Again I wonder, how many of these would actually be fielded at all without the influence of Daddy or Mommy?
Thank goodness they dropped the "Close One Eye" MP, but the inclusion of the infamous "Bocor" MP had me reeling about in open-mouthed disbelief!
And dropping Zakaria but putting in his daughter in-law??? C'mon... "...never mind, Daddy, the mansion you wanted, I'll build you a bigger one..."

More antics...
Jun Lee has learnt a nifty new trick... And it all has to do with sucking her thumbs...
Fed-up with the thumb sucking (despite it being perfectly normal), we tried all kinds of methods to discourage her including wrapping a hanky round her fist (which made it look like a boxers' glove) and scolding her. The hanky she learnt to shake it loose, and the scolding simply made her stop for a while... In a variation of the hanky, we put on a mitten on the left hand which she preferred to suck at. It worked for a while, but we were a bit curious as to how the mitten came off so frequently. And whaddaya know...
Mom caught her in the act. As we usually only put the mitten on her left hand, she began to use her right hand to tug at the left mitten, hold on to it, and pull the left hand free!
We humans are resourceful indeed... :)
