PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE VISIT

Yesterday little R got a visitor, not one but two from Holburn Medical. We registered our family there few weeks back and got a mail later on saying that there would be a visit for little R. Just in time he reached his 9 months old, he needed a general baby check up.

We talked about little R medical history, immunisations, and his development. Little R was doing great. He could eat finger food himself, pass toy with one hand to another, sit without support, locate sounds quite accurately, respond to his name, babbling, and enjoy playing peek-a-boo a lot. I am a proud mama. The immunisation pretty much on track, we just missed menC since it was not mandatory in Indonesia. We would have a schedule for it sometime this week. They suggested me and little R to have some vitamin D since I am still breast feeding. It is not necessary if your baby drink more than 500ml formula milk a day to take additional vitamin D, it is already included in formula milk. Here, the sun is rare and because we have asian skin type, we need to add vitamin D supplement starting from 6 months old. We got a lot of informative books about raising a baby up to 5 years, what to expect and what to worry, even some playing tips.

Little R got body measurement as well, not too much gaining in weight thought, let see next month! Little R pretty much happy with the visit, he made a friends, played around with the nurse. I think he missed being surrounding by a lot of people. Mama needs to find you a real friend, kiddo!
