Month 10+3 weeks old - Fever

This must be your 5th fever in just 10 months of your life. That's an average of a fever in two months! I'm perplexed as to what is causing you to succumb to such frequent bouts of illness. That and your low weight gain. Last checked you were 8kg. KorKor was 8kg when he was only five months old!! Maybe I have not been feeding you enough. You took only one side of the beast and since CheChe also used to take one side, I thought you are the same as each time you take both sides, you tend to regurgitate. On top of that, you would have either fallen asleep after one side and I just couldn't wake you up or you are not interested. Then we embarked on BLW which means more food ended up on the floor than in your tummy. There were also times where you missed a meal but I thought that the first few months of weaning you will still depend more on milk and solids are just slowly being introduced. Now I'm wondering if I should have just fed you. On the other hand, you have picked up on eating and do quite well on your own or being fed albeit being a tad more picky. And you get breastfed on demand as sometimes I just want to sleep or I just want you to sleep! This has also made you use me as a pacifier each time you wake up as you are unable to self soothe yourself back to sleep at all! Oh my, it was such a torture having to soothe you back to sleep at least once every hour last night!!!! Papa went back to Ipoh with CheChe and KorKor. We were supposed to go too but decided to stay when you suddenly fell ill. So my tag teammate was not around to help. Super exhausting!

Anyway, back to your health. You are fully breastfed so you should have a stronger immune system. So I'm guessing that you caught the germs from putting everything into your mouth. I have to be honest, I haven't manage to clean your toys or surrounding as much as I should. It's also not just at home. I'm in this dilemma too when we are out. The other thing would be getting exposed to more germs as both your siblings may have been bringing them back from school. A friend did ask if I'm taking any supplements since I'm breastfeeding and the answer is no. I did. Occasionally. Whenever I remember. But have not for awhile. Which I should. Let's see if that's gonna help. Here's to fever free days ahead!
