Weight: 8.2 kg
Feeding: 4 oz with 2 scoops of milk powder, 3 hourly. I still express milk 3 times a day, about 2 oz per session. He likes to hold the bottle with one hand and hold my finger with the other while feeding.
Sleep: We normally put him to sleep at around 9pm. The sleep routine we create is change diaper, change to long sleeve and long pants pyjamas and socks. Then we will switch off the light with only the far bathroom light and a small night lamp on. He will sleep through the night with 2 feedings sometime around 12 midnight and 4~5am. Sometimes when he has a difficult time sleeping, we may need to hold him and rock him to sleep. The pacifier is a must for him to sleep.
He stopped using mittens to learn to use his fingers. He can grab his rattles hanging beside the baby cot. We also changed his booties to socks. He successfully turned to a face down position on 3rd Oct. Gradually he learnt how to support his head up by pushing 2 hands in front. He will give you a big grin when his mood is good. He can make "abu" or "apu" sound. Sometimes he makes high pitch screeches when he is excited.
He got a cold sometime end of Sep. He has phlegm in his lung and causes him to cough. He vomited all the milk he drank down quite a number of time. Doctor prescribed him Ventamol syrup but he did not like it and refused to drink it. He will spit out saliva together with the syrup. During the last visit to the Government Clinic, the nurse gave him Raspberry flavored Dysolvon syrup. We mix 1ml with half oz of water, and he is able to drank it down without a fuss.
