Our family have been very lucky to have Auntie Meijiao to help us through this first 28 days.
She was really empathetic and strong, and helped me tremendously, as I had a rough first couple of weeks home. She never once pressured me to do anything I didn’t want to, but encouraged me to think positive and be strong for the baby. At the same time, she really took over caring for the baby and myself until I got better after.
She did everything from baby care, to cooking all meals, and cleaning, washing baby’s clothes, and then taking care of baby more into the nights! It was amazing and inspirational how she managed everything so steadily. She really cared well for our baby, and ‘sayang’ her a lot, which was heartwarming.
More importantly, she taught husband, my older daughter. and myself a lot of do’s and don’t, yes and no, tips and tricks, and made sure that we have a good rhythm and routine set up so that we can manage baby better when she leaves. She taught us all well.
Oh and her energy is amazing, seeing her sprint up and down countless times on the stairs with a bottle, as baby tends to be impatient with her milk.
I would highly recommend Aunty MeiJiao if anyone asks. She really helped the family during this period, and is a pleasant companion to have. My husband and daughter agrees too.
