This is what they shared with us:
“Bo Mi Lan is a lovely baby. She seems to be growing
everyday, especially at the beginning. As she is growing,
her sucking becomes stronger and stronger during feeding
and her appetite has increased. At one month, she was a
chubby baby with chubby arms and legs. Her hands would
naturally hold into little fists and her eyes sometimes
followed moving objects around her. After she turned two
months, she sleeps less and remains awake for about 4 to 5
hours during the day. She smiles when her caregivers tease
her. She also starts to make sounds from her throat and
sucks her hands as if they taste really good. Sometimes,
she tries to raise her head and can hold up her head at 45
degree angle while on stomach. When she is held up, she
can also raise her head. She often moves her arms and legs
joyfully and giggles loudly when her caregivers are near
her. When they talk to her, she responds to them as if
making a conversation. Her head can make a 90 degree angle
turn. She is also able to raise her upper body while on
her stomach. If someone places a toy in her hand, she
holds it for a little while. She will smile to you when
being changed, as if telling you she feels really
comfortable now.
Bo Mi Lan is a healthy baby and seldom gets sick. She has
a daily routine. Her main diet is Hero Baby Formula and a
rice baby formula. She also has vegetable soup, fruit
juice, fruit-sauce and egg yolk as snack. She eats 5 times
a day at 7:00am, 11:00am, 2:00pm, 6:00pm, and 10:00pm, 150
to 200ml each time. She has snacks twice a day around 9:00
to 10:00am and 3:00 to 4:00pm.”
“If children have the ability to ignore all odds and
percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you
think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have
two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like
Hell.”
