Last dose of 6-in-1

Little kyan had his last dose of the 6-in-1 jab on wednesday.

The jab this time round seemed to be stronger as his fever persisted for at least a day, comparatively to the first two jabs where the fever wasn't that persistent.

Dr Vanessa did her usual examinations on kyan. This time round, she voiced out that kyan's weight is lower than the normal percentile, which means that we have to pay more attention to his weight gain. He is in fact, pretty lightweight and is smaller than normal-sized babies. It got me worried. How to gain weight when he doesn't want to drink milk? Dr Vanessa advised us to add in milk to whatever solids which we may offer to him, like cereals or fruits. She mentioned that kyan should be drinking 800ml per day to be on the good side. 500 to 600ml is like the passing mark now.

She added that we should not start on porridge so soon, but after he turned seven months. So for now, its only cereals and purees.

Mummy is stressed. Baby yo, can't u just guai guai drink milk...don't drink how to gain weight neh?


No more further jabs till he turns one year old, unless we want to let him take the pneumoccocal jab...daddy wants to administer little kyan for the jab only after he is one year old, cos i guess he is heartpain seeing kyan get poked so many times (and mummy too).

Pneumoccal jab, if administered on his seven month, will have to be taken 3x. After 12 months - 2x and 24months - 1x

Each jab freakingly costs $170!
