Vaccine Day

*Updates: he did grow taller, he's 64cm as opposed to 61cm last month. His weight and head circumference is at 75th percentile and height at 90th percentile.*

Today we took B for his pneumococcal vaccine. Last month the clinic assistant already warned us that this jab will hurt more than 5-in-1, so we were prepared. Today, dr said the same thing, so we looked and each other and prayed it won't be too bad. To our absolute delight and surprise, B only cried when the needle went in and stopped when it was over, we were so relieved.

He put on another kilo, weighing 6.9kg but I don't think he grew any taller. He's 64cm now. Everything is trending well and pd said can start semi solids from 4-6 months and judge when he is ready. 

How to tell if baby is ready for solids:

1. He is able to sit upright

2. When his appetite increases and want more milk even during the night

3. When you offer him the spoon, he doesn't spit out or push away with his tongue.

As I'm planning to give him BM till 6 months, I will start the solids around 5th month mark. You don't wanna start later than 6th month for fear of rejection. I'm so excited for that next milestone to come! Should probably start researching on types of purée to serve his majesty.

Over the weekend, our mummies group had a gathering at my place, it was chaotic. I'll let the picture do the talking but DH and I were pretty amused by some of the babies and kiddos. 

Funny how your life changes.. From happy hours, champagne, wines to diaper changing and play dates!
