His Daddy and I were glad to know from the doctor who examined him today that based from his findings, every thing was normal. She checked our baby from head to toe, examined the shape of his head and its size circumference, the texture of his skin, movements of his muscles on his hands and legs, also checked if his legs were of same length, coordination of his eyes, his breathing, skin on his chest and tummy, as well as down under front to back.
Just to share, when baby was born, he was vomiting the formula milk being fed to him in the nursery. Afterwards from his blood test they found out that he had some infection so we were told that was the reason why he was vomiting the milk. Since babies are still weak, he might have gotten it while inside the womb. He was brought to the Pedia Ward then. He stayed there for almost a week to complete his antibiotic treatments. Today was his follow up check up and thank God from the doctor's examination every thing was normal.
It was also a blessing to know that he gained more weight this time and was doubled from last time. From birth he weighs 3.805 kgs. but was decreased when he was being treated at the Pedia Ward. But when he was discharged, went back to his original weight who weighs 3.807 kgs. back then. During his first check up last 24th of November, he was weighing 4.12 kgs. And now, we're so happy to know that he now weighs 4.705 kilograms. To sum up, he gained almost a kilogram in a month.
I was told that since I am exclusively breastfeeding, that means I have adequate milk and I should just keep on going. :)
Thanks be to God!
