3 weeks old - getting fatter

Richie is getting fatter and bigger now, I guess his weight is more than 3 kg now
Well done my dear son !
Physical development other than getting bigger, his sleep is regular as well as his waking time
He wakes up everyday in the morning about 7am - 11am and in the afternoon about 6pm - 10pm and he sleeps tightly at night except for drinking milk.

So far mommy and daddy can cope well and have enough sleep everyday eventhough mommy can't sleep thoroughly at night.
Well one more week to go and Richie will be one month old

Keep a good job Richie !

Two Weeks Old

Richie is now two weeks and 3 days old.
He's getting fatter and fatter since he drinks milk a lot both from breast milk and formula.
So far Richie is not a picky boy. He is willing to drink any milk either from the breast directly or bottle.
And at night, he's not cranky neither. He cries only when he's hungry... and he doesn't mind wet pamper but mommy minds because his buttock gets rashes if it's not changed within 3 hours.

Richie is a good boy and mommy and daddy love Richie !
Keep a good behaviour, Richie and drink milk a lot...

Morning Ritual - Take a Shower

Morning Ritual - Sunbath

First Week @ Home Sweet Home

On Saturday afternoon, mommy, daddy and Richie went back home...
On the first day, we've been panicking because Richie cried a lot almost every hour eventhough we cuddled and mommy breastfed Richie...
Mommy and Daddy didn't know what to do and frustrated...and the worse at night mommy couldn't sleep because mommy worried about Richie and his body became more yellowish

The next day, mommy and daddy brought Richie back to hospital to check up the billirubin level. And the result was expected, the billirubin level increased to 13.1
The doctor suggested to sunbath twice a day, morning sun between 8 - 10 am and afternoon sun between 5 - 6pm


On Monday, everything was starting to settle down. Mommy learnt what baby's crying meant...and could manage it well.
The following days, mommy knew more or less what to do when Richie cried or felt uneasy...
It's either hungry or discomfort and mommy could sleep at least 4 hours at night and 4 hours in between the day

Since mommy was not sure whether the breast milk was enough, mommy gave formula milk (mamex Gold) as supplement once or twice a day depends on the need.

Well, mommy feel lucky having Richie as a good baby boy...who doesn't complain much..
as long as we have understanding, mommy and daddy really enjoy the parenthood....

Love you Richie !
