Darius has been very active since he was born 3 weeks ago, especially nowadays, when he would often swing his arms and land ‘punches’ on our bodies or faces when we carried him. When lying down, he would also kick the bolster below his feet away from him. Same for his blanket.
And when he’s hunger for milk, he would start crying very angrily, seemingly demanding food from us.
Good to be active, but hope he will not land up being a very mischevious boy in the future. Discipline… Discipline…

On the other hand, I just happened to browse back the 4D photo taken during Cat’s 37 weeks of pregnancy (see Visit to the Doctor- 37wks 2 days), and erm, the photo looked very distorted and uncomfortable. Glad that Darius turned out to be nothing like that in the photo… :p

I love reading this blog, it has a lot of useful information. I was just thinking, maybe I should take note on baby sleeping pattern, behaviour etc.
Time slip so fast, Darius soon will be 1 month old baby =) How is Cat? Is she fully recovered?
Thanks for your compliments. ^^
Indeed, time flies. But considering that we actually spent the first nine days of Darius’ life in the hospital instead of at home, time didn’t pass so smoothly in fact.
Cat is getting much better now, though tiredness and insufficient sleep often plague her, especially Darius is getting crankier and more unpredictable nowadays…
Thanks for your concern, Brownie! I’m feeling good now. Only few stomaches now and then. Mum’s delicious confinement food helped a lot.
Developing panda eyes though due to insufficient sleep.. haha..
My son is exactly the same and often I think maybe something is wrong. It takes him very long to calm down. He was born 2 months early and currently 2 months old. Any advice on how to soothe a hyper newborn would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Nicole,
I guess both our children can be classified under the ‘High Needs Baby’ category.
For us, we didn’t do much then except to fulfill his needs (we tried to guess his needs or based on our experiences with him), and he became much less fussy as he grows up.
I’ve found this article which may be helpful to you: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/5/T050400.asp
I believe your son will outgrow his ‘high needs’ stage after some time. Meanwhile, stay cheerful and enjoy the valuable times with your child! ^^
