Baby SS singing

Yes! Baby SS singing, with lyrics of eh eh eh :)

Baby SS - 3 months old

Weight : 6.5kg
Interesting Note : She started to play with her saliva, her mouth and her lips to make some funny sound. There was once I was carrying her and eating in the dining room in Ipoh, the moment I eat and put food into my mouth, she will move her mouth and make sound! Haha, when i stopped, she stopped, tried so many times eating and she repeatedly move her lips and made sound. Cute girl, want to eat mummy's food perhaps?

By 3 months old, Baby SS likes to move her leg up and down as well. We started to remove her mittens when she is 14 weeks old, to let her explore grabbing and touching things. Here is the first clip when I remove her mittens. She was so excited grabbing the monkey and hippo loops! :D

Baby SS bathing

Baby SS dislikes bathing. During confinement, my CL helped to bath SS. SS is very scared of water. With certain techniques (holding both her hands so that she feels secure) and slowly put her into bath tub, she will not cry, but still looks frightened. As time passed by, she is more used to bathing, less frightened but still not enjoying the session. Also, one important thing to take note, we can never bath Baby SS when she is hungry. She will blast out her speaker, so normally I will bath her after an hour from feeding. We also purchased a bath tub with slide for SS to rest her buttock and back, I felt more confident bathing her in this. Here is video capturing Baby SS bathing :)



I still remember the first day my babysitter bathing SS. Her technique is so different and Baby SS cried the loudest! I have not seen the poor girl crying so loud before, with so much tears! Sob sob. Heartache. So I taught my bbsitter the way I bath SS and ask her to follow instead. Nowadays, Baby SS does not cry anymore. :)

Here is the latest mok gong chu photo of Baby SS, my current wallpaper.

Baby SS burping and poo poo

Hehe. As mentioned in the title, this post is to capture the moment of Baby SS burping after milk feeding and pass motion sessions. We plan to capture more videos of her as she grows. Baby SS is super cooperative in the sense that, her daddy called out "Action" and Baby SS immediately burp and poo poo subsequently! :D

Thrush

One fine friday afternoon while I was working, I received a call from my babysitter. I was worried as my babysitter seldom call me up unless something urgent. From the call, she informed me that Baby SS's mouth appear whitish...which we later found out to be thrush.

Quoted from PubMed Health : Thrush is a yeast infection of the mucus membrane lining the mouth and tongue. Thrush appears as whitish, velvety sores in the mouth and on the tongue. Underneath the whitish material, there is red tissue that may bleed easily. The sores can slowly increase in number and size. Thrush is commonly seen in infants. It is not considered abnormal in infants unless it lasts longer than a couple of weeks."

We were worried if the thrush will worsen and causing uncomfort to Baby SS if they start bleeding :( So, I called up our pediatrician immediately and emailed him some photos of Baby SS's mouth. He was very helpful and confirmed they were thrush symptoms. He also told us to buy daktarin oral gel to apply on the lips and ensured us it will go away very fast. Very true indeed!

Breastmilk Soap

I am blessed with sufficient breastmilk for Baby SS and managed to spare 9oz for making breastmilk soap. Heard about the goodness in breastmilk soap and from my sil, I got to know a breastmilk maker contact in PG. We discussed about the designs and also the essential oil to be custom made for the soap. In the end, I picked lavender and tea tree essential oils....Da dah! Here are my lovely soap....:D

Very happy when receiving it, they smell very nice too! I love the baby shoes, roses and the mickey cheese designs alot.
