OUCH OUCH...

I've been through last 3 sessions of traditional massage aka as traditional Malay "urut" for the past 2 weeks to get rid of the "wind" after the delivery. It was excruciating initially but it does makes me feels good later on. It was worth it. I was not too keen at first because of the pain but I decided to go for it anyway after so much persuasion and recommendation from others who did it before. I could feel my muscles and joints are lighter and not so tight anymore. I have backache on and off these past few weeks, most probably due to breastfeeding but the massages really makes me feels better. Baby Gwen so far has been breastfeeding well and has increased her appetite these few days and I need to breastfeed her more often. We did have rough nights when she just did not want to sleep but kept sucking. Sometimes she will just suck a few times and fall asleep. But when we tried to put her to sleep in her cot, she will cry. Probably she loves to suck for comfort. My sleeping pattern has changed tremendously as well, no more sleep in late on weekends. Trust me...Baby cries are far better off than having an alarm clock. ;)
