Happy 1st Month

The day started with baby Zach's first haircut by a personnel from Huaxia Taimaobi Centre (华夏胎毛笔中心).

The hair is made into a "Baby Hair Brush" 胎毛笔 ~ a specially selected brush holder engraved with words of well wishes and encouragement. We kept some of Zach's first hair in an ang pow for keepsake. Zach was very co-operative throughout the whole hair-cutting process.

Lunch started at 12:30pm. We had yummy food from Katong Catering. There were lots of friends and children and...babies.

Relatives came in the evening for dinner.

It was a tiring but memorable day.


Thank You Note

Week 3 updates

Zach appetite has increased. He can drink 100ml/3hourly now.

The weather has been so hot nowadays. I perspired so much everytime I nursed Zach. I always nursed with the fan blowing at me. Phew...

My darling baby can't sleep without the fan on. Due to the hot weather (or the heaty food that I ate), he has heat rash on his face. Or is it milk rash?

Zach cry almost as soon as he dirty the diaper. He won't feel comfortable until the diaper is changed. He will make oohs & aahs sounds and stretch his body from left to right to let us know that he feels uncomfortable.

He weighs 3.8kg now.

Week 2 updates

Zach has been a good boy. Sleeping and drinking well. He can drink 3oz/80ml now. And will wake up 3 hourly for the next feed.

During the day, I will latch him directly. Usually he fell asleep while nursing on one side.

At night, the confinement lady will bottle feed him with the expressed milk while I catch up with my beauty sleep.

We still sunbathed Zach twice daily, during the morning and evening. His jaundice is improving but he is getting darker with the sunning.
