After half a feeding and a diaper change, Valerie was fussing so much that I didn't know what to do.... place her near the breast, but she wasn't interested. Although she wasn't crying out loud.... she was making sounds that were like trying to cry, but unable to cry out. Then I realise she was probably having constipation and trying very hard to "poop". Her face was all red and I could see her frustration, and it was heart wrenching, cos there's nothing I could do to help relief that stress. 3 minutes later... her face turned all white and she was having a cold sweat. But she stopped fussing. I guess that's the face of a "relieved" baby.... cos the next thing I heard was.... you guessed it!! Pooping sound... and very smelly ones too!!
Anyways, it was another first for me... in the middle of the night. Looking at her calm, peaceful face - but a little palely white - another tear would have fallen down my cheeks if not for my mom being there. But it did make my heart stop a beat.
Valerie at 5 weeks old... with her 2 bedtime friends, Care Bears.
