Amadeus & Andre

Amadeus seems to be more n more receptive towards Andre. He will pat and sayang Andre when he cries and sometimes he will also put Andre's pacifier into his mouth to stop him from crying.

And whenever he got the chance, he will try to carry Andre. He will keep saying, 'hug, hug' or 'bao4 bao4' to me and wan me to pass Andre to him. And when he saw didi lying on the bed, he will always go n join him and lied down besides him.

Of course there are times when Amadeus was cranky or feeling jealous of didi. These times, he will not allow me to go near didi or carry him. Amadeus will hug me tightly and refused to let me go n pacify Andre even when he was crying.

Overall, Amadeus is a good big brother and a gd son as he will help me when I asked him to most of the times like helping me to take things or to throw soiled diaper.

Andre is recovering

Thanks to all my frens who shown concern for Andre...he is getting better after we brought him to see another PD last Saturday. He was given antibiotics and another cough med to take. After 3 days, his snorting and phlegmly sound disappear and he had no probem drinking his milk now.

I'm glad tat he is still putting on weight even while he was sick. The PD commented that he had a healthy weight gain (5.3kg as at last Sat) and tat he will be sent for X-ray if he still haven't recovered by this Saturday (going back for review). Hb and I are relieved that Andre need not go thru the X-ray :) Now we just hope tat his coughing will completely disappear soon.

p/s: It's 3.15am as I'm typing this cos Andre vommitted big time after his feed just now and I had to take a bathe and wait for my hair to dry b4 I can go sleep...while he is happily sleeping now...

p/p/s: something very wrong wif my blog...my template for writing my post is completely hay-wire...cannot do other things...only can type and change font..tat's all..cannot upload photos etc...so angry...

Andre puked again....

Yesterday nite ard 4am after having his milk, he started coughing n coughing and puked quite alot of milk. But this time round, he didnt cry...the one to cry is me as I need to wipe and change him and the bedsheets also need to be changed and I'm so so so tired! But at least I know tat he felt better after puking out some phelgm as he was smiling away when I was wiping and changing him (normally he will cried). After tat, he fell asleep.

This week, this is the 2nd time tat he puked not counting the numerous times he puked last week. According to Dr Lillian, the frequent vommiting of milk is not good as the acidity of the vommitted milk will harm the throat and caused his condition to worsen. But there was nothing much I could do as he normally would start coughing after his milk. I can only monitor him and if he still does not get any better, I will bring him to see another Pd that is recommended by hb's colleague in Tampines.

Guess I need to switch him back to soy milk so as not to worsen his phlegm (he was on soy milk until the tin was finished). At this pt in time, I regretted stopping my breastfeeding. I should have carried on...blame it on my un-determination and loads of excuses.

Andre is 2 mths old!

He turns 2 mths today and I can't wait for him to grow up quickly. Cos he always wanna be carried after he woke up from his nap, cannot lied down for long periods of time and he will cry till he gets what he wanted. So different from Amadeus' time.

But when he had enough sleep, he will wake up smiling. He is so charming when he smiles :)

His development is also faster than Amadeus:


1) He will turn his head towards the TV (where the sound comes from) when he was abt 2 weeks old.


2) He can lift his head momentarily off the bed, turn his head left n right when on his tummy - abt 2 weeks old.


3) He can grasp things n hold them tightly when he was abt 6 weeks' old. Now he loves to grasp my shirt when I'm carrying him.


4) He is a curious boy and will keep looking at his surrounding when he was abt 2 weeks old.


The above are some of the things tat I can remember off hand. All I ask is that he will be a healthy and happy baby and I will be very happy :)

Andre's 1st dose of 6-in-1 jab & Rotarix...

We brought Andre for his 1st jab though he was still not feeling very well on 4 July. But Dr Lillian gave the go ahead and proceed wif the jab and the oral med. Andre was very brave and didnt cry at all when being jab in the bottom. She also examined him and commented that his development was quite fast. He was able to lift up his head and looked around when being put on his tummy and etc.

Dr Lillian also gave Andre Zytec to take for 2 weeks and to stop the remaining medication. But the next day after the jab and the oral med (Rotarix),Andre started having diarrhoea and it gets worse n worse. He started to poo every milk feed and intervals btw the milk feeds. So tat is about 8 times per day. Really very heartpain to see him like tat cos he will cry abit at every pooing...I guess the redness at his anus caused him pain and all I could do was to apply lots of diaper cream for him to ease the pain.

Today, I called Dr Lillian and found tat the Rotarix might caused him to have diarrhoea..at least it eased my mind abit knowing tat it was not caused by the switching of goat's milk to cow's milk. She prescribe some Lacto capsules for Andre to take to help in the diarrhoea-ing. Hope tat he will recover soon as it is really very heartpain to see him suffer like tat at such a young age.

Andre's stats as at 4th July:
Weight: 4.9 kg
Height: 56.5cm
