My 1st Visit with Dr Steven Ng

I am back at Gleneagles to see Dr Steven Ng for the 1st time. The receptionist, Jess, weighs me -this time without even my diaper- and find that I weigh 2.655kgs and I am 46.9cm. Have I shrunk?

When we see Dr Steven, he explains that at birth I could have been hurriedly measured, hence it was not as accurate as the measurement at the clinic. Dr Steven assures Mummy that he is pro-breastfeeding, but he does cite cases of mummies not having enough milk and still insisting on total breastfeeding -tbf-, and the poor baby ended being severely dehydrated. Mummy agreed that if she didn't have enough milk, for the good of me, she would not insist on total breastfeeding me. Dr Steven examines me and find that I am still looking yellow. Hence, he wants another blood test done. He mentions that after the blood test, we can leave. He will call Mummy later with the results.

We go back to the laboratory at the ground floor. And while waiting to register me, Daddy snaps these 2 pictures of me.


After doing the blood test, we head on home.
