Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: Confinement Month

Confinement Month: 28 July 2008 - 27 Aug 2008

Baby Jez needs to be fed every 2 hourly, drinking 2oz of milk each time. There are about 4 night feeds. She wears S size diapers.

Baby Jez is already a very alert baby once she's born. She will look around her environment even at the hospital the first few days. At home, when she hear the sound coming out from the TV, she will turn her head and watch TV. She likes to move her hand very much too. When she's angry or feels agitated, she will move her hands even harder. She is also quite impatient when waiting for her milk. She can really cry very loud until you become panic, very 'powderful' cries, heehee.... I still can remember the first day when we went back home, she was crying loudly and we didn't know what to do. So I took out the pacifier and put inside her mouth. Immediately, she suck the pacifier real hard & stop crying. At that time, I was thinking pacifier is a really good invention. Although some told me that it is not good to let her suck the pacifier but I think I would rather her suck the pacifier than she keep on crying. Her stomach will be bloated with air if she cries too much and that will cause even more discomfort later on. Thus, from then, we gave her the pacifier.

She passes motion regularly and jaundice is minor. Baby Jez is very scare of hot weather. If I let her sleep on her baby cot, her whole back and her hair will become very wet due to her sweat. She really perspire alot, just like her Papa. We can only let her sleep on a infant seat as the cloth has little tiny holes to air her back so that she won't perspire. Baby Jez is also very talkative. If somebody talks to her, she will also reply by 'er er er ah ah' and she really enjoy companionship. She likes people talking to her or playing with her. There was once during confinement, I heard Baby Jez laughing loudly altho' nobody is playing with her. I think she got excited while watching the TV. That's the first time I hear her laugh so loud, usually she only give a sweet smile. My father in law also heard that & both of us was quite amazed.
