Yesterday she woke up with a drippy nose and little coughs. This is the first time she gets sick, not including the one-day mandatory fever after she had her shots. But she looked fine and happy as a lark as usual and didn’t seem to have breathing difficulties, so I just dropped her at the babysitter’s place without much thought.
At 2 pm babysitter called and reported that Nunu refused the bottle and wouldn’t feed at all. And she has started her cranky-blardy-murder-cry until other flat-dweller neighbours got curious.
So I rushed to feed Nunu, and upon inspection, the new Doctor Baby teats that I just bought are slightly tougher than the previous ones. Nunu only accepts Doctor Baby teats (the yellow, rubbery, old-fashioned type) and spits out other silicone-based teats if they ever touches her mouth.
Sigh… so what to do? I hurried home, grabbed a plastic syringe and send it back to babysitter so that Nunu can feed temporarily with it as I scrambled downtown in search for the same pharmacy where I bought the 1st batch of soft Doctor Baby teats.
If there is a day when I should fall victim to Murphy’s Law, it was yesterday. At 3 pm in the blardy Friday broad daylight, the pharmacy was closed, and a customer called me up to request some toners to be sent to their Penang office. Long story short, the goods were sent, a few pharmacies and baby shops were gatecrashed by a crazy lunatic (and she had time to purchase some bolster & pillow cases) and by 7 pm, the teats were finally found at the same blardy pharmacy that was closed at 3 pm before.
I picked up Nunu at 7.30 and she didn’t fall asleep until close to midnight. By that time, I was deadbeat. And Nunu kept waking up to snuggle close, searching for something under my shirt; she was practically an extension of me throughout the night, latching off to cough or whimper for all while, then she’d latch on again.
I’m all sore & aches, but when she woke up this morning brandishing a huge grin, all the craziness of yesterday & the night before just felt worth it. She’s still sniffling so maybe today after work we’ll go see a doctor.

i hv a feeling i'll face bottle-refusing behaviour too when the little one falls ill. there's some druggish effect when they're latched on to our boobies, isn't there? better than all the panadol in the world for them.
yup, the decrease in appetite is really alarming. Nunu must have lost some weight, she looks so skinny now, face no more tembam, tummy no more buncit- seriously worried!
