Today is the Lunar calendar full month for Cepheus. 2 weeks has passed since he was discharge from NUH. It has been a tiring 2 weeks for both me and dar. Dar spent most of her time expressing breast milk and taking care of our son. I think she barely have enough sleep. For me, I can only help out during the nights till about 2am during work days. All I did was warm up the milk and pass it to either my mother or dar to feed. I managed to learn how to feed him all by myself a few days ago, so I guess I'm of abit of more help now. ;) Cepheus went to see the PD today for a routine checkup. He now weighs about 3.78kg as compared to 3.1kg when he was discharged. I hope the growth rate of 300grams per week is normal.
We brought Cepheus down to our neighbourhood for a little walk and bought 2 packets of sweet last night. According to Cantonese traditions, when a baby reaches his full month, we have to distribute sweets to others. This is to symbolised the forming of friendship between him and those who received his sweets. Sweets anybody??

Hmm...how come I didnt know abt the Cantonese sweets tradition? :P
Anyway, weight gain of 300gm per week is normal. Dun worry too much about the numbers.
Hmmmm... Grandma didn't tell you about the sweet thing? She the one who told me about it and mother said she did that too when we were 1 month old
Maybe they told me b4 when I had Keane. Now memory failing me and too tired & busy to do such things anyway.
