Vaccination

11 May 2009 (17th day of 4th month ~ Lunar Calendar)

Zethan went for his 2nd dose of 6in1 and 1st dose of rotarix on his 4 month~sary (Lunar). Intended to go in the late morning but mummy decide not to disturb Zethan as well as grandma who was sleeping soundly till 10+am, thus had to set off in the noon instead as the clinic is due to close for lunch at 12.30pm.

Feeding Zethan took about an hour (recent 'trend') and after bathing, just about time for daddy to pick all up. Had lunch at Sun Plaza and Zethan is due for his milk time again so spend another 40mins feeding again. There was quite a crowd at the clinic and mummy decide to come back 30 mins later after handing over the health booklet (due to the swine flu + lots of coughing patients around).

As requested, Dr Wong did the 3-4 months assessment for Zethan. He weighs 7.6kg and measures 66cm in height. No signs of rejecting 'strangers' shown by Zethan although he stare at Dr Wong amidst the assessment. Mummy, grandma and Zethan was startled when Dr Wong 'sit' Zethan 45 degree on the examination couch and allow him 'free fall' backwards. Of couse he did break his fall and catch him. Apparently it was supposed to be testing for baby's reflex but was quite a heart dropping experience for 1st time mummy.

Next, to start off with 1st dose of Rotarix which made Zethan squirm a wee bit.

followed by the 2nd dose of 6in1 which Zethan wail for like few seconds before being pacified with his pacifier. He was a little grouchy as he missed his afternoon nap which is crucial in determine his mood.
