Two months old update

1 month old

GASP!

spossies? = disposable diaper?

of course not! :)

we are a cloth diaper  (CD)  family.

this disposable acts as a cover.

you can DIY. soaked a used disposable in water until all the gel swells, then remove the gel leaving only the cover.

this cover can be washed and be recycled for a good couple of times.

Matty is currently using lampins/prefold 80% and CD 20%.

when we were in mom's house in his early days,

it was 90% lampin and 10% disposables.

disposables are for nights only.

it will be difficult washing CDs in few pieces so i closed one eyes and let mom have it her way.

back here in my own home,

i rule of course ;)

i sub the disposables with CDs and therefore washes them every 3 days.

it is quite difficult for my washing machine to spin if i don't have one amount of diapers in a load.

usually i wash the diapers on its own. i do not mix.

reason is because diapers need its own detergent.

and they have special cleaning cycles.

currently the frequency of his poo has reduced.

from almost every 2 hours to about every few changes of diapers once.

he changes lampin every 2-3 hours.

this was 1 month old.

3.1kg

vaccination:

just this monday 19th aug when i brought him to KKIA for his 2 months old vaccination, DTap

evening after the jab,

he was slightly feverish.

37.7 celcius when i checked.

i dilly-dallied and by the time i was about to administer paracetamol, the temperature drops.

hence no pcm for this little chap.

next day fever gone.

growth:

he weighed 4.1kg,

growth chart on the line

one crazy strong kid!

his brother loves him to bits. i hope?

KJ, u want to be gege or koko?

he likes me oh mommy!

he is so cute!

still jaundice.

eyes and skin yellow.

feeding:

cluster feeding until last weekend.

over the weekend he started becoming drowsy and feeding decreases.

diaper change reduces too naturally.

i complained that he becomes inactive.

bothers me that he is not hovering for my boobs.

but according to our doctor friend,

he says he is fine.

when he is awake, he looks active. -_____-

anyway, we have got an appointment for him with Vasan next week in paeds clinic.
