6month visit



We visited Dr Veronica Toh today for her 6th Month injection and oral vaccine.

The lucky her had her Grandpa and great-grandma tagging along as well!!

She was really brave today. Only cried a loud shrill "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!" when the vaccine was given and stopped immediately when she was picked up by me. I could tell that the bond between us is only getting stronger. I am no longer just her favourite food source but her favourite parent as well. It gets really apparent at this stage where she learns to recognise familiar faces and creates a hierarchy of her favourite caretaker. Of course, I'm thrilled that I took the first place in her heart. Daddy loses out a little, but I'm sure he'll get on equal footing very soon!

So daddy don't fret k! Work on your playskills and I'm sure she'll be charmed by your creativity!

As for her allergist visit, we've cancelled it. Veronica reassured us that the reaction is common amongst breastfed babies and effects may not be permanent. We could give cow's milk a try again when she passes the 1 year mark. Meanwhile, we could feed her with soya as an alternative. This saves Nat from becoming a lab-rat, and saves us a couple of hundreds from seeing a specialist. Really can't bear to see her going through any painful prick tests... we'll just have to give soya a try and keep our fingers crossed.

Btw she learnt how to stick her tongue out today! Saw her playing with her tongue when I woke up this morning. Baby Nat never fail to amaze us daily!!
