I would like to voice or you call it brag (in /k) my opinion about my CL but this does not mean it applies to all CL out there. I only hope people will be more knowledgeable if they have an opportunity to select their CL in future. Also make sure to read more and not just rely on CL solely.

In short, I just want to say my CL is not worth that 4.4k.

The long story is, this is only my first week with my CL and I feel she is showing her laziness. Don't get me wrong. She is not a bad or cruel kinda person but all I can feel now is that she is here to get paid 4k+ to cook, eat, sleep and to look after the baby during daytime only. It seems like a pretty easy job to me and perhaps I should consider doing this CL job too since it is that easy.

The problem now starts when we noticed our baby is turning yellow after some time. We just did a blood test several days ago and jaundice level was normal but because the baby is sleeping so much, she is not drinking much milk that is required. The CL didn't seem to bother much because it feels to me as long as the baby is sleeping and not disturbing everyone at home, then we should let it be. The problem is that the baby does not know how to demand for milk yet and when the baby is not getting enough of that nutrient, jaundice will come back. So we finally requested that the CL must wake the baby up during day time every two hours and in the middle of the night for at least 3 times and she told us to set our own alarm clock for the wee hours. Strangely, we are fine and not mad with it maybe because this is what it means and feel like to be parents for the first time. End of the day we feel no matter how it is really necessary to have that additional person at home to help look out for the baby but just like I said, she don't worth 4k+. A nanny that ask for 1k can do the same job too.

For mothers that are planning to breast feed, please remember that you need to feed your baby min 8 times a day and also please remember that breast fed babies have higher chances of obtaining high jaundice. Make sure you continue feeding the baby min 8 times a day until the baby gains enough weight and knows how to demand for milk by him/her self.

Also another tip to new mothers that wonder why their baby sleeps so much. Yes, your baby does require that long hours of sleep everyday but you still need to wake your baby up for milk. Baby feels most comfortable when they are all swaddled up and warm (30+C). In this situation, the baby can sleep for hours. So don't let your CL swaddle the baby up so comfortably like a cocoon because if your CL is just as lazy as mine, your baby will have very high chance of getting yellow too.

The other thing I want to voice out about is the confinement food. I find it contradicting because here you are not suppose to eat too much vege because it can cause too much wind in the stomach but there you said its better to eat brown rice. Doesn't brown rice contain higher fiber? The second thing is vinegar pork. I thought confinement time is not suppose to eat too much fattening food but can you tell me which CL does not cook vinegar pork?

Im not sure if its only me but all these confinement negativity is creeping up on me.

SO just wanna thank you if you read through my brag and if it helps you, then I wish you all the best in selecting your CL.

But if you feel its TLDR and just wanna lambast me, please do so.
