Ceph shitted again on

this time is not sofa but my MIL jeans!! today, we visited the PD at tiong bahru plaza.. as i thought it is a short journey and we only there for vaccine, we can be home in an hour's time, so we only change his diaper and off we go, i didnt prepare another set of clothe or spare diaper .. in the end, the doc donated a pamper to us and luckily for Ceph, i brought along a cardigan as it was raining earlier worrying that it may be cold at the clinic.. in the end Ceph wore just the diaper and the cardigan as his cute romper is full of his shit!  

Ceph weighs at 5.26kg today and 59cm in height, going on 12 weeks already and he only gains 2 kg in all, what i heard is that ideally baby should grow at 1kg per month.. PD also commented that he is only in the 25th percentile.. so considered slow and smaller in size.. but certainly he said Ceph do not look like those malnourished type and that i should not worry too much.. we can only monitor to see if his growth rate is slowing down, he suggested that i can start Ceph on milk powder or cereal earlier in the 4-5 mths to give him more nutrients for growth.. how can i not worry about his growth? definitely i do not want a FAT baby, but i certainly do hope that Ceph will grow up to be tall and strong like his daddy.. ya now he LOOKS like his daddy but i am hoping that his physique will take after Ferris and not Me cos he is a boy and he needs to be taller!!  Ceph is feeding on only 700+ml everyday and it is considered little because he certainly needs more than that!  We have to start feeding Ceph more often now since he is able to sleep through at night and not waking up for milk means he is actually skipping at least 2 meals when he is sleeping.

Tao Tao was telling me today not to worry too much as breastfed babies tend to grow slower because our breast milk do not contains much fat but more nutrients, compared to milk powdered babies who grow up to be fatter, but breast fed babies should have more nutrients which is much more important at this stage.. That being said, I do hope that Ceph will grow more in the next round of checkup..

The PD also commented today that we should not let Ceph sleep on Sarong as it is very dangerous esp during the 4-5 mths period when he learns how to flip.. and ask me to take special note on this as he worked in the A&E dept in KK hospital before, he heard and see alot of baby accidents that occurred because of the Sarong and is strongly against parents allowing their babies to sleep on Sarong..
