Month One, Two & Three

Its been three months I could pullout time to update my blog.... I think its enough to understand that how much it takes in terms of time also to raise a kid... I will separate all the three months in this part of my blog to cover up

Month One
My little one was still tiny then... he smiled but occasionally and am sure it was not our talks or cuddles that amused him but something going on in his own mind.
Me and my husband are sooo lucky to get a sweet and calm baby like Abeer. He has never been a a cry baby and is a sound sleeper at night. One thing that troubled us and him almost since his birth was RED rashes on his hips at the anus area. As per doctor his intolerance to lactose (Lactose is present in Mothers Milk) made his potty acidic. These were gone once I started giving him ISOMIL - lactose free milk's 2 feeds in a day when he was 2 months old. His potty before I started giving him bottled milk was loose, bright yellow and frequency in day was 4-5 times. After ISMOIL in second month it became once in a day early morning. During his first month I once suffered from cough, cold and fever and he also got it from me but only the fever. We gave him Crocin drops 2 times in a day for a day after doctors advice and he was fine.

Month Two
The tiny one was now little grown up and his smiles also became often... the thighs now with regular massages looked plump. My son caught severe cough and cold when he was 2 and a half, we had to nebulize him and gave him steam alternately as per doctors advice. Watching him in body pain due to fever (he moaned while sleeping) and coughing with a khur-khur sound was terrible. He got bronchitis which takes 7 days to recover no medicine practically works during this time but yet kids are provided with them probably to stop the infection to grow. I did some home remedies too like warm mustard oil massage on the chest, pouring warm water on his chest while giving him bath, patting his back while he coughs to make the cough go down his food pipe etc.
During second month his head movement became little controlled and his cycling kicks hard and rigorous. See him kicking and squealing in joy is JUST AMAZING.

Third Month
My Baby today is 3 months and 11 days old. He now recognizes me and my husband very well, he smiles back at our every smile and sometimes show tantrums when we lay him down on the bed from our lap. Now he knows very well that i am the one who provides him with his staple so he turns towards me as soon as i lay down beside him. He has started turning and tossing side ways... roll overs are rare but he is still unable to free his arms when he turns on tummy. He now can join his hands and take them in his mouth, grip is also there he holds his rattles or my hand firmly now.
For past three four days he wasn't passing stool which is absolutely normal as per doctor till baby is on mother's milk. But as yesterday was the fourth day I inserted a glycerin bud dulcolax for children 5mg and he cleared his tummy. Alternately what I do is put lots of soap on piece of cotton and insert it in his hips which also make him pass stool.
