Happy 2 month old birthday to baby Safwan!
Coincidentally, today was also Safwan's visit to the doctor for the first stage of his immunisation routine. Previously, Safiya and I went to the government clinic for our monthly shots, each one different from the other. For that, mummy had to bring us to visit the doctor once every month until we reached the age 6 months - and this continues until the age of 5.
However, lucky Safwan was given a free immunisation package on promotion at JPMC. It's called the Hexa vaccination package which comprises of shots each one containing 6 vaccines. This 6-in-1 vaccine is for diphteria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, poliomyelitis (polio) and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib). It is given at the age of 2 months, 4 months and 6 months. In other words, the number of visits to the doctor is reduced by half.
At the same time, our baby brother also gets a check up by his paediatrician. Thankfully, Safwan is healthy and smiling the whole time, except when he received the jab at his small thigh! However, after a few minutes crying, he started smiling again. Oh, and latest news -- he now weighs 5.62 kg!

At the same time, mummy also had a follow up appointment with her OBGYN doctor. She took the opportunity to take some pictures with Dr. Azlina - the hero who delivered our baby brother into this world. Funny enough, while the doctor was talking to mummy and daddy, Safwan was also busy making conversations with her. The doctor said that perhaps Safwan recognises her voice; all those encouraging words saying "Push! Push!" Hehehehe....
We also prepared a special thank you card as an appreciation for all the care and support during Safwan and mummy's stay at the hospital. The card now hangs beautifully together with the other babies' "hall of fame".
And to pass the time, Safiya and I were busy playing at the play area and together "built" a hotel. Sorry Safiya, the picture below is as if I'm taking all the credit for myself...!
What happens next? At home, Safwan showed a sign of a mild fever which was expected. Thankfully, the doctor had prescribed him with Panadol as a precaution. Our baby brother looked funny after tasting his medicine, the taste must be way different from mummy's milk... hehehe....
And after three times taking the medicine, the fever subsided. Our happy and smiling baby brother is back.
