Kay Lyn

Kay Lyn is a much easier girl to look after at this stage. She is just over 10 weeks old and like normal babies at this age, she drinks milk and then goes to sleep most of the time. The grand-mother is looking after her during the day. At night she goes back to her parent's house.

One character about her which captivates our hearts is her big smile. She smiles when we talk to her especially after she has drank her milk. Sometimes when she does not fall asleep after her feed, the granny will put her on her lap and talk to her. She responds by giving that big captivating smile.

She is fed with breast milk and supplemented with powdered goat's milk. Her mother tries to feed her with breast milk but unfortunately the milk production is low. In order to try to increase the milk supply, the mother took Domperidone which is supposed to induce milk production but there was not much response and it also affected her hearing. She said the sound is amplified. Currently she is trying the herbal supplement called Fenugreek. The production improved slightly but the supply is not enough for the baby.
