Janine turns 7 months old in about 4 days' time. She currently weights 8.14kg! And I forgot her length! Just took her measurements at the pharmacy where the nurse on duty did it for me. Am impressed that she's now over 8kg! Didn't realise she was growing so fast as she still feels pretty light to me. Perhaps in comparison to Janelle who's way heavier, Janine seems rather light.
After almost 7 months of regurgitating milk, I am sad to say that Janine STILL regurgitates! *faint*
What happened to my prayers about her stopping her regurgitation when we come to Australia? Besides, now we have no maid to help clean up so I have to clean up the mess, plus we have carpetted flooring - which means the regurgitate remains on the flooring and it's harder to clean. Arrggh. And now that she's started on solids, she regurgitates her solids AND milk.
I asked the doctor over here about her reflux problem, and he told me that 80% of babies who have reflux will stop after about 6 months of age. So seems like Janine is in the unique 20% category of babies who continue with that reflux problem till they're much older. 
And the doctor assured us there was nothing to worry about her reflux since she's putting on weight and growing well.
As for Janelle, she is speaking really well and talking a lot more since we got here. She is rather naggy (inherited from either parent) and can speak so well it surprises us sometimes. She'll be attending day-care twice a week from this week onwards. I suppose after another month here, she'll pick up the Aussie accent!
nah... dont worry bout the reflux problem...Janine will grow up strong and healthy :)
ReplyDeleteOoh.. nice to hear from you folks since you all left! Hope you're settling down well there! =)
ReplyDeleteJia you! Janine will be well. :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy... I can't imagine the hassle you're going through with all that carpet and puke. Argh...
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to be a merlion too. My mum still thinks it's because he had a weak (windy?) tummy. But he's definitely the heaviest and strongest of the 3 children!
Funny... I imagine you carrying a baby half your size, at your hip. Are the Australians amazed at how petite you are? ^_^
Well, even Singaporeans are constantly amazed by my size...let alone Aussies! I won't be surprised if the Aussies think i look like a student or something. Heh :)
