Playing with 4mo baby

I have no idea of games I can play with my baby boy when he was 0-3 month old. What I can do just singing, reading him a book, chanting rhymes, swinging toys in front of his eyes (with min.20cm distance), talking with him as if he understood me hahahahaha, just entertain him hohoho


Now he is 4 months old and I have more fun things to do with him...HOORAYYY....he can roll onto his tummy and swimming on the bed hahahahaha, he can even starting crawling on his tummy backward and forward....He does the backward first which surprised us! He just can do it suddenly....

He also babbling a lot and now he can give us his big laugh and trust me that all parents must be challenged to make him giggling hahahahaha. He can give response for sure sometimes with his facial expression, like wrinkling his forehead hahahaha

He loves to play peek-a-boo with thin blanket.

He laughs when we make super silly face huhuhu or funny silly noise hohohoho

He looks at the book -sometimes- when we read him a book with colorful pictures. He sometimes read the newspaper with his daddy hahahaha€

He can hold his rattle and swing it to make the sound or try to get it if we put it far from him

He can sit on his special chair and watch TV...or just lie him on bed with TV on when we need to do something urgent

He can play with the ball I hang over his box, he can kick it with his legs or punch it with his finger

He can hit the piano tuts ----so cute!!!


He can sit on my lap when I work on my computer hoorayyyyy

He laughs when he sees his reflection on the mirror and he even try to touch himself hahahaha

He pays 100% attention when he sees his daddy playing guitar and singing for him- so sweet!!

He looks at the handphone when I call someone

He loves camera, trust me!!! when he knows we'll shoot him, he doesn't want to smile and after i took the pictures, I usually show him and he will look at it seriously Hohohoho

He loves to fly in the air, what I mean is holding him on his armpit and toss him up!

He learns to sit, when we hold his arm, he will pull himself forward- my ped says the baby better to crawl first before sit to avoid scoliosis problem in the future

He also starting to recognise people....he knows mummy is for him if he wants to sleep huhuhuhu and daddy is for him if he wants to laugh!!!! hahahaha, but it's true that sometimes he doesn't want to be carried by our maid. I try to let him carried by my friends so he will get used with strangers..

My tips for mums are don't carry him too much let him explore what he can do when he is on his tummy on his bed or our bed (with supervision). Introduce him to many activities that we do usually-he might get interested! Let him explore his environment and talk to him as if he understand and he does I believe! Make him laugh a lot so he will love to smile. Enjoy the time with him as he grows so fast!

How much is the breast milk

Joining a lot of forum is very useful that i know i'm a normal mum hahahaha

I used to store breast milk -at least a bottle- everyday in the fridge, which last 24hours and there was time I wasted the milk because it just too much for the baby! and I once put in the freezer which last 3 months!
--- I pump 5 times a day

I have also experienced the milk racing with my little one but thank God my breast milk just ENOUGH for the baby!
--- I pump 6-7 times a day

Now I enjoy the abundant of breast milk again hohohohoho....
--- Back to 5 times a day with more milk

This is what I eat and drink
1. Water
2. 2 glasses of green peas everyday
3. Green veggie
4. daun katuk (which I found out not really worked for me)
5. Mongolian Pumpkin
6. Pork, esp. the feet (IT WORKS THE BEST)- make it into soup, the magic is in the soup not the meat ( I just love the meat as well hahahahah)

Recipee for the Feet Pork Soup

Ingredients
Feet pork (tigh to nail)
soy sauce
salt
pepper

Directions
Put all the ingredients to the pan and boil it for 1,5-2 hours

My tips for mums for getting more milk are eat a lot and enjoy life! If you feel tired expressing the milk, read again the advantages of breast milk so you will highly motivated! Express your milk consistently, e.g. every 4 hours. Isn't it amazing how God provides the milk enough for the baby.....
