During Alaina’s 4th month check-up with her pediatrician last week, Mommy updated her doctor that Alaina has yet to roll-over and then pop…. she rolls over almost immediately.
Mommy also raised her concern on Alaina’s bowel movement where at times, Mommy still sees a few per day… and then suddenly now Alaina hasn’t been producing any for 2 days.
Hmm…
She has finally caught Daddy’s month long bug; it started with a cough or two but progresses to cough with phlegm since last week. The doctor did not prescribe any medication for her as her throat, lungs and ears are clear. He commented that medication at this stage will do more harm than good as the Baby will be drowsy and sleeps all the time. After a week or two, the cough should go away by itself he says. He advised Mommy to continue with breastfeeding exclusively and more frequent to provide more fluid intake for Alaina.
Yes, Alaina is still on breastmilk diet; direct feeding fully. We have plans to introduce the bottle to her but somehow couldn’t find the right time for it…
Well, no hurry, perhaps after Chinese New Year : )
At 4 months, her routine has almost set. She takes several naps in a day but perhaps one too many as she sleeps quite late in the night. Her feeding time is quite regular too, making it easier for us to time ourselves when we are out and about.
There was one point when she started to recognize her surrounding that she only wants Mommy to carry her, she would wail if anyone else attempt to. Now she’s calmer and less selective and in her better mood, will let Yee Yee carries her : )
The scattered hair around our house attests to it….
Ok ….. may be not.
May be it’s postpartum hair loss.
But hey, it ain’t easy getting Alaina to let go once she gets hold of our hair!
