Caleb was about 5 months old when we first brought him out of tiny Singapore....
My concerns ...
1. Will there be a huge jam?
2. Will Caleb be used to the car ride?
3. How will Caleb sleep at night since we had not really train him to sleep on his own.
4. How do I express milk in the car - since my FIL will be joining us? Is the water from the hotel safe for baby's consumption?
5. With only 1 driver - can we cope?
hmmm ....
1. Will there be a huge jam?
>> There was a slight jam ... but as we are going up in a big group, we sort of cut queue here and there ... so, it was not so bad...
2. Will Caleb be used to the car ride?
>> Caleb was such a sweet darling ... he slept on his way to melaka and he slept on his way back ...
3. How will Caleb sleep at night since we had not really train him to sleep on his own.
>> Kudos to daddy who walked him round the room, rocked him using his arms till he fell asleep...the best part is that after this trip, Caleb has learnt to sleep on his own on most nights by rolling on the bed ...
4. How do I express milk in the car - since my FIL will be joining us? Is the water from the hotel safe for baby's consumption?
>> Make sure I am well covered using the shawl when expressing .... and for water, I brought water from home. Since it is just a one night stay, I brought some water in my Tiger thermo flask ... and thankfully, since Caleb is drinking breastmilk, I do not need to worry about water issue so much ...
5. With only 1 driver - can we cope?
>> We coped! ... ha ha but it was tiring though ...
Would we do it again?
>> Probably yes but wait till Caleb is bigger and maybe when he starts to take food that we adults are taking ...
Daddy and baby catching up on snooze while mummy ate at "The Zen by Secret Receipe" ... the food is yummy ... we had pie in bowl and green apple with sour plum ... shiok!
Making Caleb comfortable is top priority! haha ...
