Dear Ruth,

Thanks for your welcome message months ago, while sorry that I didn't have time to return earlier due to busy work. I got the same Suzanne's message and feel strange about it... what do u think?

My baby girl is 22 days old and she seems to be restless and does not want to sleep for over 6 hours. She has this sleeping problem once or twice every week.

Hi!
Thank you for the welcome message. The essential info was really essential! Why didn't I know about the Chinese confinement period before? I could have gladly done some cultural journeys by lying in bed and sipping Benedictine DOM ;)
