grumpy boi..
Brought BB to the PD for this 1st time on 18th Apr. Did some assessment on his development too. Weight @ 3 months is 7.04kg. He is 61cm long, with a head circumference of 40cm.
During the visit to PD, BB Caleb poo poo there.If poo was not enough, he also peed, not onto the pampers but onto the floor.. so paiseh.. quickly clean up the mess.
B4 we went, Daddie Keith & Caleb Mummie already prepared some questions to bombard the poor PD.. heehee...
Questions Prepared
1. How much milk should BB drink?
Ans: based on calculation, he should be drinking 170ml..Since BB is drinking abt 200ml, we can confirm that we are not starving him.. hahahahaaa
2. BB's poo are sometimes green in colour, is it normal?
Ans: yes. This is because FM (Formula Milk) contains iron which will cause the poo to be greenish. No need to be alarmed.
3. What is rotavirus vaccination for ? Is it necessary?
Ans: Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea among children worldwide. Children six months to two years of age are most vulnerable. This is actually more applicable to children in poor countries. This is because of poort hygiene as well as malnutrition. Since in Singapore, parents are usually very particular about bb's cleanliness, hence this vaccination is not really necessary.
Dr Ng is very nice. He filled us in with additional info on pneumococcal disease.
It is a bacterial pathogen that affects children and adults worldwide.Most likely, BB Caleb will be getting this vaccination, but only when he is 6months old. The no of injections will be lesser.
