Day 55

Ethan has grown & has different facial expressions... All my tiredness diminished whenever I look at him.

Protruding Belly Button

Ethan has this enormous belly button protruding out. The seniors at home said that it was due to the constant crying resulting in excessive "wind" getting into his stomach. Whilst others said that the belly button was not thoroughly cleansed when the umbilical cord was "disconnected" from the belly button.

His mommy is still trying to apprehend what is the real explanation behind it.......

Personalized Pillow

This personalised bean sprout pillow is from Aunty Lindy. See Ethan's height :). The pillow is almost equivalent to his height.

The bean sprout pillow is used to be laid on the babies chest as they are more prone to be frightened by sudden movement & noises causes by the surroundings. This will thus give them a sense of security as they feel being cuddled in the mummy's arms or even in the womb. At the same time, it acts as cushioning to the loud noises & movement thus prevent shocking them.

Thank you for the pillow with mommy's favourite colour.

Authentic Look

Finally back from my mom's house after 4days-3nights stay as Ethan is grouchy & cranky after the jab. Felt so re-charged that my parents & grandmom are there to help out. It is so stressed-free @ mom's house as I get to sleep to the maximum (instead of waking up 3 times nightly), go out to dine with friends & most importantly spending quality time with Ethan & my nephew Jaden.

My mom made these for Ethan & all my nephews...It is tailor-to-make & not everyone has the chance to wear these "AH PEI" pants..Sooooo authentic right. Baby Asher also has this tailor-to-make pants as well.....

Simply Cool...............................!!!!

6-in-1

Ethan went for his 1st jab - 6-in-1* immunization today. He is 6 weeks old as of today & weighs 4.884kg & 52cm tall comparing to his birth weight & height of 2.99kg & 49cm respectively . This was mainly contributed to his rountine BI-HOURLY feed day & night.


Gosh!!! The PD commented " Your son can really cry out loud" after the needle was "poked" into his flesh..I joking told the PD" all the patients waiting outside must have ran off "..


Juz hoping he will not be dominated by the fever virus after the jab. Otherwise, will have to "tabao" & pack my bag to camp over at my mom's house.


* Dear folks, 6-in-1 covers : - Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, HepB, Polio & Hamemophilus unfluenzae.


Being a typical Singaporean mom, Ethan will also be taking jabs for chicken pox, pneumococcal & rotavirus ..

Day 43

Ethan has grown....An updated picture of our dearie boy :)

The mommy felt so refreshed after having a 3days 2nights stay at mommy's mommy's house - Ethan's grandmom. There are so many helpers around to fuss over Ethan whilst we were there -- SO FORTUNATE.

Now we are back to our own house when Ethan has to be alone when he yells for food.

Ps: Godmum D, does the clothes looks familiar?

Which is Bigger ??

"Its addictive, dun give your child the pacifier." .. "The teeth willl grow out of place"..

These are the common answers when mommies are being asked why are their babies not being given pacifier? Pacifier are also commonly known as "baby comforter".

Many of us are against babies "sucking" pacifier but I am left with not much choice. This chap has the tendancy of yelling for food practically hourly. The main reason why I allowed him to have the pacifier is hopefully to reduce the amount of air getting into his stomach - colic at the same time encouraging him to sleep longer.

I hoped I am not a bad mommy who had introduced lousy habit to baby Ethan.

This is how he looks with pacifier. It looks so big on his small little face !!

Home-Alone

Baby Ethan has turned 1 month old.

The mommy is trying to cope alone since the confinement lady leaves... that leaves me with minimum time to update the blog. Will try to update it whenever I can..

So stay tune :)
