Sean Turns 5mos

At 5 mos:

Vital Stats:
Height: 68cm
Weight: 9.5kg
Head Circumference: 44cm

Development:
- Feeding: Still on Mummy's milk exclusively. Drinks 6-7oz every 4hrs via bottle.

- He has developed much stable feeding time for the past 2 weeks. Last feeding is ~ 9-10pm and the next feeding would be 5-6am. So, I have considered this is a sleep through already! ( I hope I don't jinx this by saying so!!)

- He is overweight but being a breastfed baby, he has the 'license' to be overweight. *grin*

- He is able to roll from his back on to his stomach, just 5 days before he turned 5 mos.

- He has good head control now.

- He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth.

- He has shown interest in attempting to reach to his feet and play with his toe. If we pulled that for him, he would giggle.

- He can cried in an angry and sad voice already. We can tell whether he is whining and crying.

- He is able to put his weight on his forearms and lift his head and chest up when lying on his stomach.

- He can pick up his rattle occasionally.

- His best friend is his Kong Kong because he would laugh out loud the most when Kong Kong played with him. Trust me, he really laughed even before Kong Kong started to play with him.

- He drools a lot!

- He has developed dried skin almost all over his body. We now need to shower him with Oilatum Soap Bar, followed by applying Balneum Intensive Cream. Right after we did that for 3 days, his condition improved a lot. Although his skin is ok now, we were asked by PD to continue until he is a little bigger. Breastfeed will help to speed up in stabilizing his skin condition as he grows older.

- He has no problem sitting in his car seat every morning when I sent him to babysitter. However, he cried sadly every night during our journey back home. Don't know why.
