Alden's 2 Months Old!

No More Problems!

Alden is now eating well, at first he was put on S26, Karen preferred this infant formula brand by default because apparently its her family tradition, her brother and sister also were brought up on S26. Funnily enough, my mum also used S26 on myself, Kenneth and Billy; my brothers. So we were quite content with using S26. We managed to control the vomiting baby, it seems that this is due to the mixture of mother's milk and baby as well. Not because of GERD or Pyloric Stenosis. So panic's over!

Since then, we've switched over to Enfalac A+ that seems to work well as well. Apparently my mum said that people told her that S26 creates fat babies. My mum seems to have something against fat people hence, she encouraged the change. There weren't any ill effects from the switch either. We also found a nice little shop located near the badminton hall near Ming Tien that sells really cheap baby formula, where is it? Well, if you look across the street from 7-11 at Taman Megah you'll find the entrance to the badminton hall parking lot. Simply drive through it half way and you'll find the shop. So go tell people who are having babies now. The stuff there are like nearly 10% cheaper than the hypermarket ones. At the rate Baby Alden is finishing the formula, I think it's a good thing we found the shop. He's now steadily consuming 6 ounces per feed, with 3 hours between feeds.

My mum also took a hiatus to balik tong san (visit China). So she'll be off grandma duty for about 2 weeks. Thank God Karen's mum took a 2 week leave to relieve her, so grandma 2 will "enjoy" his company for the next following 2 weeks.

He also took his second round of shots and the doctor warned that he might develop a fever from the reaction to the shot, so taking the advice of Karen's mum we bought a nice temperature monitoring strip. Very functional, it reads the person's temperature right down to the nearest .2 of a degree within 7 seconds of resting it on the forehead. With a baby that's an achievement, cause Alden likes to move his head randomly.... Anyway, he was fine, did not develop a temperature or anything. So that shot went well :)
