Teething or ....???

Isaac is like a ‘drooling machine’ and he has been sucking his hands a lot and sometimes he will use his hands to rub on his face as well. Is he teething?
I remember Naomi started drooling around the 5th month only. My mother in law didn’t suspect anything and she just told me that some babies will drool a lot and it’s not teething.
I read from the internet this morning and the signs above clearly shown that Isaac is indeed experiencing the ‘teething’ process. So, we will see..... I was wrong about him fitting 3-6months clothes. I need to change another set of clothes already to 6-9months now. I can’t believe how fast he has grown!


Drooling....


Sucking his mittens...

And so my breastfeeding journey begins....yet again....

With the birth of Isaac, so begins this second breastfeeding journey of mine. Psychologically, of course I am very prepared…prepared to sacrifice sleep for at least a few weeks or months, prepared for interrupted schedules and definitely prepared to reap the fulfilling rewards.
This time round, hallelujah, my milk came in immediately. He is definitely a pro at breastfeeding, but sometimes he can get a little bit lazy after nursing on one side, and needs to be woken up for feeding on the other side. During confinement, Isaac is fed on demand and usually asks for a feed every 2-3 hours, but sometimes less frequently.
I started to express my milk during confinement month so that I will have enough milk for him when I started working. It has been 2months plus and I’m still hanging there although there were times I wish to quit as I want to go travelling (I need to think twice) :)
I plan to breastfeed for at least 1 year only and I have to sacrifice my travelling plan for this.
As of now, Isaac is taking 6oz of milk for every 3-4hours and in the middle of the night shen he wakes up I will direct feed him (sometimes not for hunger and more of a comfort feeding).

My cheeky boy..

This was taken last week and Isaac is going to be 3 months old soon. His head is more steady now and definately more alert.

I still don't know what is his current weight etc. as we're schedule for the next check up in May only. He's definately growing and he's wearing bigger size clothes now. I didn't really buy lots of clothes for him as Naomi has tons of them (which mostly was passdown by my friend-Hooi Ling and relatives). I wanted to post the picture of the 2 of them side by side wearing the same clothes and the only diff is Isaac is wearing them at 2months+ while Naomi wore them when she was 5 months old. Please bear with me while I search for Naomi's pic.

Isaac still wakes up in the middle of the night for feeding. He usually goes to bed early around 9-ish and will wakes up around 3am. Sometimes after an hour he will wakes up again so it's quite tiring for me as I'm still working the next morning. Usually I'm like a zombie the next day. It was tough and I need to bear for another couple of months? Last time Naomi slept through the night when came back to work (after 2 months) but with Isaac he still can't establish the sleeping through the night pattern. Well, hopefully when he reaches 3 months, he can sleep through the night :)

My prince at 2months old...

Time flies and baby Isaac is 2months and 2 weeks old already.

2 weeks ago, his weight was 6kg and we will go for another jab in May only then only I can update about his development.

He has been smiling a lot and sometimes follow by 'laugh out loud' kinda sound and sometimes will screams and yells too. He is not as emotional as Naomi and quite easy to handle actually. I can just put him inside his cot and he can play by himself without making any fuss. We calls him Mr. Cool cause he is so calm, cool and composed. I guess this is the typical male character?

He has been growing pretty well and most of his 0-3months clothes are too tight for him and I've change all his clothes to the 3-6months range already.
