Baby Orange Month 2 Update

Baby Orange is now about 2 months old! He's smiling baby when he's happy and playful. He does get fussy when he is sleepy or hungry. But still a co-operative baby as he gets to 2 months old. He seems to smile more than 姐姐 and 哥哥 at the same age.

Yes, time flies, so I forgot his fussiness when he just came home with me from confinement center. He knew the place and environment is not the same even though he's just a few weeks old. He kept looking around and we have no idea what he is looking for. We kept a night light for him as it was never totally lights out at the confinement center. I think it was almost 2 weeks that he finally settled down at home.

Tried to get a photo of him smiling but didn't quite make it.
This babysuit was hand-me-down from 哥哥

He is wearing pyjamas from 姐姐's time. That's why it is big as it's for 1 year old :P

He weighs 4.95 kg as of his 2 months check-up. He got his DPT and 1st Rotavirus immunization at his 2 months check-up too.


Both 姐姐 and 哥哥 love him very much, and enjoy playing with him. It's like they relive their babyhood through him :)

哥哥  once jokingly said to him "哥哥  is coming to get your milk!" and make some actions coming to berebut while Baby Orange is breastfeeding. Baby Orange doesn't know how to take a joke yet, so he was very defensive about it. He cried and tried to cover me with his hands. After that incident, he was not so friendly with 哥哥 for awhile :P

This Doraemon set is a gift from 姐姐 using her ang pao money.

He's breastfeeding for 2 months now. Taking a see-how as I've bigger plans for him compared to the two older siblings, and hope he will make it.


EBM freezer storage as of 2 months

I've started doing school runs again after the children's school holidays. So Baby Orange will go to 婆婆's house during school runs. That's why I need to supply expressed breast milk (EBM) when I'm not around. According to 婆婆, he is difficult to feed using bottle. He only takes 1 or 1.5 oz of EBM every time, and she need to feed and stop and burp several times. She also fed him about once every 1 to 1.5 hours as she's afraid he's hungry taking so little milk.

Totally not like 姐姐 or 哥哥 who were easier to feed. I still remember 姐姐 was fed 5 oz when she was only about 2 months old. We insisted 哥哥 be fed less, about 3 oz at 2 months old. I think the interval was about 3 hours at that time? We had to supplement 姐姐 with formula as she was taking so much, and I pump only about 2 or 3 oz per pump session at work. I used to pump 2x or 3x, don't remember exactly.

At night, sometimes he sleeps longer than 3 hours after fussing. I still wake him up to feed if he goes longer than 3 hours as I don't want to get engorged.

Of course he's still wearing S size diaper at his size now. He use mostly Huggies during the day. We had tried Pet Pet but the cutting and texture just doesn't suit him very well. It's tougher on the skin compared to Huggies and the tape is not as soft. At night he will use Mamy Poko, size S too.

How he looks like compared to 姐姐 and 哥哥 at about the same age?
Only manage a comparison photo of them sleeping. Actually 哥哥 is not sleeping, just rubbing his eyes.
All about 7 weeks here. They looked like they have big head :P

姐姐 at about 7 weeks old with her favourite Snoopy at that time

姐姐 in our good old stroller, she's about 7 weeks old here.

哥哥 at about 7 weeks old.

哥哥 only got his head shaved at about 2 months. Forgot why 爸爸 dilly-dally about it.
哥哥 about 6 weeks old. I think we were still sunning him, that's why he is not wearing a shirt.
Good old stroller again :)
