Baby-funny- Development

If you are with your baby everyday for 24 hours, you'll be amazed on his development. One by one of the easiest skills (FOR US) that he can achieve. Just wonderful!

This is what happen to my baby, it can be different to yours

0-2month
He can't see clearly yet, so I have to get my face close to his-around 20cm.
He started to smile-it's just his reflex. He smiled the most after being fed or slept.
He hasn't open his fist yet
His nails just like skin, so soft
He sleeps often in the afternoon (not at night)
If you don't use diaper, he pees all the time
All he can do with his mouth is crying
He absolutely didn't know which one is his mummy or daddy
He needed to be comforted after milk time at night for a LONG time (1-2hours)
He didn't care with what around him, even the TV (when it's on)
He did reflex on his hands and legs so often until he surprised himself
He started babbling very short just like aaa or eee
He could hold up his neck

2-3month
He is able to see clearly, so make distance when you make eye contact
He smiles when people smile at him or tease him. He still smile after being fed or slept.
He starts exploring what his hands can do, touching, grasping, pushing and putting his fingers inside his mouth (talk about this separately, next posting)
His nails harden
He doesn't sleep often in the afternoon, but long sleep at night (he wakes up once only during the night)
If you don't use diaper, you can predict when the time is (if you are lucky HAHAHA), if you carry him above the basin and turn on the tap he sometimes pee when he listens to the water
All he can do with his mouth is crying
He starts recognizing his mummy and daddy also families around
He could sleep directly after being fed
He loves watching TV!!! He is a great observer
He did reflex on his hands and legs less
He is a great babbler and he starts showing expression when babbling
He can find his feet and hold it
He can roll over from tummy to back by himself
If you pay attention you can differentiate his type of crying whether he wants milk or he's tired or he desperately sleepy

baby cold attack-medicine

It's been 5 days my dear baby boy has runny nose. Poor little boy, he hasn't master nose blowing skills yet, not until 4 (experts said so, not me!)

I read articles about this and most writers said no medicine until 7-10 days. Sometimes, we worry too much, aren't we? and also no Chinese medicine, but i gave it (advice from elders). It doesn't cure him as fast as I hope, but he gradually getting better, not really to be honest huhuhuhu

I gave up! My parents insisted me to go to the doctor because the mucus seemed so annoying for him. Yesterday, we went to the doctor. He wrote antibiotic on the prescription but I said that I don't want to give my baby antibiotic....and the doctor finally said that after 3 days not cured yet, then start giving him the antibiotic.

At this point, I really appreciate that doctor, he has willingness to listen to his patient humbly. Not all the doctor do this right? and I learned that we, as parents have rights to state our opinions, not only nodding our head.

About the Chinese medicine, I also asked the doctor, it didn't cure the illness only maintain the body.

After the medicine taken, he's getting better, thank God! About the medicine, there is a safe medicine to liquid the mucus, kind a nasal drops, sorry to mention the brand, it's Breathy. So the baby can sleep better. My tips for mums are wait until +/- 1 week to bring him to the doctor, but if the mucus turn green, bring him to the doctor ASAP. Sometimes decision to bring him to the doctor is depend on the parents' wisdom hahahaha Stay at home and feed him more often also help. Carry and comfort him if he can't breath well. Make a roll from tissue and roll it in front of his nose when the mucus pop up or make a cone from tissue to clean his nose. Spread ointment oil on his tummy to make him warm also help.
