THE FIRST EMOTIONS UP TO THE FACE OF THE BABY WERE SO FUNNY

THE FIRST EMOTIONS UP TO THE FACE OF THE BABY WERE SO FUNNY

The next month was more interesting, then the first one. As the baby started to demonstrate some emotions there. It was very funny to watch that. For example, the expression of the face, like the surprised one I have noticed when Margaret was one month and three days old. And the first smile she presented me at the age of six weeks already! The same way like the first kiss...

And even the baby bottle she was already keeping with 2 hand at that period. And this time when she was drinking milk, what a concentrated and hard-working face she used to have. And even when she played with me, the emotions of her face used to change : deep thinking, being interested, funny laughing ...

Except the funny moments like this, the second month the feeding problems appeared. Baby started to wake up more often and more often to ask for the tit. And even when sucking the tit for a while, she was suddenly stopped, and started to cry. The same there was when I was offering her the another tit. I got the idea that she was not getting enough milk there. I thought it was time to give her  some extra powder milk. But my partner was crazy about giving some supplement like this without asking the specialists opinion. His mother suggested to give to the baby a bit of honey. And it was a big mistake. And it was the first and last time I listened to advice of  my partner and his mother or his family in my life. Never in your life give the honey to a child under one year old. It can create botulism, and the child can die. Well, the occasion is one in a million. But, do you want to win that "lucky lot?

And waiting for the opinion of the specialist was too long. I was not in the mother land country, but in the country of my partner then. So, I did not know clear how the system worked and whom to ask questions. I went to the walking in centre clinic for the advice immediately. I was hoping to meet the child's doctor. I queued for one hour and a half. Finally, I met the nurse who just had a look at my child, did not answer any of the questions considering feeding, and re-directed me to the mother and child centre. It was at  the other end of the city and the meeting was possible only the next day.

There I have lost another few hours. As we were waiting all the group of mammies to arrive, a very long time getting acquainted with everybody. They were going to have some  classes there that was not considering my topic at all. I had politely explain to the leader of the group that I was in a hurry. I needed some help in a fast mood. As it was already the second day I was looking for the answers for my questions. I was not sure already, if I could get it in that place, too. I needed to know if yes, otherwise I had to continue to look for.
