Roll Over

Journey to "Roll-over"  

The 1st month, he was sleeping on his back ONLY (should have place him on tummy as early as possible). A very good sleeper. Most of the baby sleep  for the 1st month. So do my Baby Darren. I miss this baby so much. 

Baby Darren is approaching his full moon. Somehow he did sleep by side. But most of the times, he sleep on his back which caused his head flat one side. @@ and grandma and daddy blamed mummy for not turning his frequently. Luckily, Doctor said : baby's head will round up himself when they are bigger when they are able to roll-over. Thanks God. 

Tummy Time for Baby Darren at 1.5 months. But he doesn't seems to like it. Get me out from here, mummy! :P

His head is getting firmer and stronger. At least he is not eating the bed sheet like the previous picture.  Picture taken on  06.10.2011 , Baby Darren is just 2 months old. 

He is getting comfortable on his tummy. Baby Darren is going to be 3 months old in 2 more weeks. 

Trying to push himself to the side. Really a hard work. Keep it up, son. :D
Picture taken on 25.10.2011.. 3 months is just around the week!

After those attempts, finally his hard work granted and he is slowly rolling himself to side.  Just need to figure out how to turn his legs as well.!! Baby Darren is going to be 3 months old in another 9 days!

Yahoo.. Finally he managed to turn from back to front by himself.  Great works!  He is at 3 months old week 2.

Finally, head is up! He figured out how to  take out his hand  and to support  his head now  on 19.10.2011.
Congraz, Mummy!

Ever since then, he just roll himself whenever  we place him on flat surface even during changing time! 

And he now can sleep on his tummy. Doctor suggested  is better for baby to sleep on his back to reduce SIDS. But, if  I place him on the back again, he will still roll by himself. and get frustrated when he can't turn! =.= well, I just need to keep on checking him , make sure he do not block his own nose. And, baby is smart and he knows to think by himself. :D Picture taken on 26.11.2011

Kick Kick ..Push Push.. To strengthen the muscle. 

I guess Baby Darren is able to roll himself back to original position.  When I walked away from him just for a few min, he already moved himself to another corner of the bed. I wonders. Darren,please show mummy your achievement, please. :)
He is now 4 months old, week 4!

Rolling......

GotCha! 

My Mind

After reading such a good blog from Meg, I would like to job it down what's inside my mind..

For my next baby, I want to nurse him/her immediately after he/she arrive the world. Is such a regret that I didn't have chance to do it for my baby Darren, I felt sorry to him. Now I know that I have my right to tell the midwife or nurse that I want to hold my baby and start the bonding process with the baby even he/she is still fill with the blood. I seriously don't mind about the fishy smell and the red blood. 

For my next baby, I want to decide everything by own. I want to speak it, I want to raise out my opinion.. I hate that I delivered Baby Baby without knowingly what exactly to do and hate that I have not decided by myself. 

For my next baby, I will love you by my heart and soul. and I love you to the moon and back too, Darren. :)

Love, mama.

Lesson

Life is all about learning even I am a mother now. 
I want to book down this mistakes I made, so I won't forget and I wouldn't allow myself to repeat the same mistake. 


When this little boy can roll over his body, I should celebrate this milestone and meantime, I should be more aware and pay more concentration to him. I've told myself thousand times. However, human is taking things for granted, until it broke your heart, only you will truly learn from it.


Mistake 1#  I leave him alone on the bed and I off to bath time. But, my mistake of covering him with a big fabric that will bundle him somehow. He rolled and he pulled the fabric and it covered his head. My heart almost broken when I saw him covered by the fabric and it might suffocate him, of cos he cried. 


Lesson 1# Never cover a baby with big blanket (expert even suggested not to cover with any blanket). However, our home practice is .... cover the baby with something to keep the baby warm. I've doubt and I still stick to this practice! Make sure is not BIG and not leaving the baby alone when he is awake.


Mistake 2# I leave him alone again on the couch and walked away to get something. He fell off from the couch onto the floor. It hurts me. I burst out . Oh my poor little boy, I know it is painful and it frightened you. Mummy is more painful than you. I blamed myself for this. This is a mistake I should not make at all! 


Lesson 2# Never ever leave a baby alone at a high place especially when he can turn. Put him on the mattress on floor when I need to walk away a while.


Motherhood is a life changing point for me, at the same time, is a learning path for me as well.
