Josiah is now 5 weeks old, and as at a few days ago, I think he had a growth spurt…he suddenly need to be nursed too constantly in the day and napping less. My day starts around 5am sometimes as early at 4am, and after nursing, I would do pumping for about half and hour. By that time, I may or may not have time to sleep again, as Josiah takes his bath by 8.30pm. John usually gives the bath, time for daddy son bonding and time for me to take my breakie. Then, he would continue nursing and sleeping in my arms until about 4pm when he would be…

Josiah made his first month visit to the clinic today for his jab, immunisation from Hepatitis. This would be the 2nd jab since birth. We left for the clinic as early as 7.30am, there’s always a long line. There, we took a number and waited…while they checked Josiah, I was also given postnatal checkup, blood test, weight check, blood pressure and all that..everything came out normal. As for Josiah, he has certainly gained weight and grown taller. Weight: 4.36kg Height: 56 cm I can certainly feel his weight when carrying him!

At day 18, the nurses came to my house for the last time to take Josiah’s weight. At the time, he weigh 3.9kg, getting chubbier now. He’s getting bigger very fast, and I think soon he can’t wear his newborn rompers anymore. Josiah has now developed some kind of schedule, though I think this will change quite often with age. The nights are actually easier easier to handle than day time. At nights, he wakes up every 2.5-3 hours to feed. He usually doesn’t cry loudly immediately, but will make funny sounds in his crib to wake me up. He’ll start rooting, so I’ll know he wants to be nursed.…
