Getting Into Routine

In Apr, after being back to work for abt 2 weeks, we are settling down & getting into the rountine.

Kyrell is responding more now, smiling to us and learning to roll over.. he still needs some time getting used to be on his tummy though. I have friends' babies who has turned at 3rd month. Well the reason for Kyrell's delay is, I seldom allow him to be on his tummy... cos he has reflux (which I forgot to mention in earlier blog).

It all started when he vomits milk around 1mth plus. We checked with his PD and he assures us that if Kyrell is gaining weight and still drinking well, we do not have to worry, he will outgrow it once his lower esophagus sphincter (LES) is more developed. Carrying him upright while feeding and burping him after drinking helps. And try not to move him too much after his feeding. He also prescribed a bottle of "rid wind" for us. This is to be added into his milk each time.

We followed what he said except only giving Kyrell the "rid wind" in less then 5 occassions. We do not want to load Kyrell with too much medication if possible. We even switched to giving him Friso Comfort which claims to aid regurgitation, however, the powder gets very lumpy the moment it touches water and stubbornly, do not dissolve. So we end up giving him "milk" which is more water based. After 2-3 times, we stopped giving him that and resumed back to his Nan.

Glad to say that, despite all the merlion, Kyrell is still one happy baby and puts on weight steadily!

Here's some of his pix in Apr :

Kyrell has a growth on his left eyelid, PD said its eye infection which will go off after some cleaning and med. It does not seem to bother him, no scratching or fuss..
