3 months old

Nathan is 3 months old as of 25th july, Monday. He weighs 6.2kg, head circumference of 42.2cm and body length, 58.4cm. His weight has more than doubled since birth (2.5kg) within a span of 3 months, a very good sign.

We brought him to the clinic for his 2nd HB jab, he was distracted by a yellow duckie, and only gave brief cry. He is still having discomfort from reflux, some good days and some bad ones.

We tried bringing him for dg bs at church office, but he was not 'behaving', wailed for a while, then I needed to feed him, and Chong took his turn to walk him, basically, its either me or him not around at anyone time. It was a good try nevertheless, if we never tried, we never know if we could make it. Definitely, meeting at homes would be far more conducive.

Time passed rather fast, though there were days when I thought it never ends ... He is already 3mths old!! Seeing his chubby cheeks and little 'thunder' thighs make my heart glad, comforting to know that breast milk is sufficient for his needs. So I should continue to perservere ...
