Baby has turned a week old! He didn't seem to grow much. Maybe because I see him everyday. He's still jaundiced and has to be monitored every 2-3 days at the polyclinic. Hopefully, his jaundice level comes down fast. Breastfeeding this second baby is a lot easier than when I breastfed Greg. Perhaps it's because Greg had to stay in hospital for about a week after birth because of his severe jaundice level and I didn't get to latch him on directly to my breasts during feeding time on those days he was hospitalized whereas this baby has been with me since Day 1. This baby is also easy to breastfeed because he suckles well. Hopefully I can breastfeed him for at least 6months. See picture of baby below.
KengYong and I have named baby Gareth. It is a Welsh name and it means "gentle". Surprisingly, Greg has also given baby a name. Originally he chose Gareth but now he has changed his mind. I didn't know it until when my elder sister, Pearl asked me if the baby's name is Benedict. She said Greg told her that. Apparently, Greg went around telling people he met (including my neighbours) that his brother's name is Benedict! Well, KengYong said perhaps we should just name baby Benedict. On second thought, we realize that my cousin-in-law is also named Ben. Ahem, so I guess we are going to stick to "Gareth". His Chinese name is Lin Hong2 Jun4.
