Chinese New Year 2006

The weather changed when CNY came closer. You started to have problem passing motion. Your mum's brother, Ah Gui, came to fetch us to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, to celebrate CNY together with mummy's sister's family. It became a stressful experience as you were crying unpredictably. It was a tiring new year to us.

Cold and hearing loss

Daddy is down with flu for 2 weeks now. Unfortunately, Daddy passes the virus to you and you also have blocked nose and slight cough. We bring you to see Dr Ho at Tampines. Many babies fall sick because the weather is cold at the end of the year. Daddy expects the weather to be warmer after Chinese New Year and everything should be fine. You have grown to beyond 6kg now but still fail the hearing test for the left ear. The specialist at KK hospital calls for a final test 3 months later. Failing that, we will consider a special test for you to determine the level of hearing loss at your left ear. We all expect this to be very mild, may be about 10%. Mummy is sad about your hearing loss. Daddy is not too worried as long about this 10% thingy as the doctor said it will not affect learning or speech.

Root cause of loose stool condition

We finally found out why you have loose stool condition. To our surprise, it is the Isomil soy powder. Mummy's doctor thought that it might be Isomil so she recommended us to try Enfalac milk powder. After switching to Enfalac A+, your stool condition has come back to normal.
