By God's grace, I haven't visited our pediatrician of the reason that my baby is sick. We just have "doctor moments" for vaccination schedules.
I wonder why there are so many vaccines recommended for babies? I personally doesn't enjoy seeing my baby cries when he's given vaccination shots. Such a pitiful sight that melts my heart but I know that vaccines are designed to provide protection against serious diseases and many people consider them the most important part of well-baby checkups. Some of those diseases (such as polio and diphtheria) were much more common a hundred years ago, but are rarely seen now , thanks to immunization programs.
Like today, it's Hyzyd's 5th visit to his pediatrician. Before we left the house I must be sure that his diary (issued by the hospital) must be brought. It listed his personal data, growth, vaccination schedules and other important topics to be considered by the mother (unfortunately, they don't have English version for this..he..he..). I should see to it that we carry his VIP card to avail discounts...*wink*...

The Child Diary
It's good that his dad is with us...they had a heart-to-heart talk...Oh! Look at his swelling eyes...
We played and watched movie while waiting for our time.
This was taken inside the doctor's office.Unfortunately, my hubby haven't included our doctor's presence here. I was even planning to brag (just kidding..he..he..) to you guyz what a pretty pediatrician we've got! She's like a Korean actress..Anyway, her name is Patcharee..
I was caught off-guard when baby cried so hard when I put him down to be weighed. He's scared of the nurses that surrounded him! It took awhile before he calmed down and be weighed again.
Sshhh..shhhh baby..mommy's here...

I am glad that the doctor said that he's healthy and is ready for his vaccination. He's injected with DPT, OPV/IPV, HBV and Hib. All doses were given to him in just one shot. He's feeling not well tonight and has low-grade fever. I'm glad that he's asleep at last. Tomorrow, I will go to school but was glad that his dad will report to school by May 6 so I'm confident to leave him for awhile in his dad's hand rather than with the nanny.

ay that's good for you. at least di mo kinelangan dalhin ang bebe mo sa doctor just coz he's sick. alam mo di ko alam kung ano meron sa timbangan. my baby cries whenever she's being measured. hinihiga pa lang sa weighing scale may panic-stricken look na sa mukha :)
ReplyDeletemine's up as well...
It's really amazing that we have all-in-one shots now! One on one talk talaga ang mag-ama ei! Hehehe!
ReplyDeletegood for you your baby hasnt been sick at all! :) thanks for sharing your story with us today! i enjoyed your post hhehehe
ReplyDeleteHealthy and cute baby si Hyzyd (unique name). It's a good thing marami na tayong vaccines to prevent a number of childhood diseases. :)
ReplyDeletePraise God for this good report.
ReplyDeleteYour pediatrician's clinic is nice ;) Kami rin, we make sure that he gets his vaccinations on time. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteFaith has 6 and 1 vaccines and rotavirus and Im proud to say even shes small she is healthy...
ReplyDeletemommy gen, cute naman ng baby mo. :)I've been through that also, so many vaccines, tos wawa tingnan si baby pag tinusukan na ng syringe ng pedia. :))
ReplyDeletehappy mommy moments :)
I have something to tell you. My daughter developed at the normal rate before. All her milestones were on time like walking, sitting, babbling, grasoing, giggling and everything upt her 2nd year, after that she regressed and now was diagnosed to have autism.
ReplyDeletebefore she was just diagnosed as having global delayed development, but after three different doctors she was finally concluded to have autism.
sabi nila it has nothing to do with vaccines but there are studies that show otherwise, they think the vaccines given to kids na sobrang dami na dati isa o dalawa lang ang nagti-trigger ng autism syndrome.
ang haba ng comment ko. but just sharing. I used to have that booklet too and nacomplete ko sya except the boosters na i decided to stop.
I too have completed my kid's vaccines. It breaks my heart to see them cry during their vaccines but I believe it helped their immune system.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
wow, very fresh ng story and post! :)
ReplyDeletebuti na lang, very healthy si Bby H! ska sarap talaga pag kasama si hubby pagpunta sa Pedia no? nakakagaan ng feeling ksi alam mong me kasama ka in caring for your child. I really enjoy looking at your pics palagi. One happy and beautiful family. Very hands on parents kasi kya lumalaking secure and behaved si Baby.
Take care and kisses ke Baby H!
good for you dear! am happy to hear that ur baby is in the pink of health. it's depressing to hear of a mom's child getting sick kasi. and that's good that you stick to the regular pedia check-ups. that way, you get to monitor how ur baby is doing. buti hindi sila hinuhubaran pag kinukuha ang weight. sa japan kasi, hubo't hubad and baby pag kinukunan ng weight. :D
ReplyDeleteSweet baby pictures. Glad you have gotten past those shots.
ReplyDeletemy lil one its her turn after her birthday she have shot for 2 years old anyway mamaso is a type of skin desease na everyday its getting worst nag nanaknak xa kusa na itchy, that was when we are in philippines last year before we got here in US
ReplyDeletegosh! it's true there are lots of immunization for the babies. sometimes nga andrea has to have 5 at once... sa pedia din ni andrea fully naked when checking their weight...
ReplyDeletei am adding your link to my blogroll... tc
yeah...question ko din yun eh..bakit daming vaccines...although let's face it...madami na din kasing mga sakit nowadays...necessity na sha...hindi na add-on sa mga babies natin...
ReplyDeleteby the way...thanks for saying yes! and thanks so much for the award also! mwuah!!! =)
ohhh......so cute! only the cry is not cute for mommies. i hate having to hear babies or children cry even if they're not mine.
ReplyDeleteAi....yong 'diary' pala ng mga babies sa Thailand - I seem to just not have any brains left to figure it out lol....
Sori sis late ako sa comment kasi we just got back from Pattaya. I will work on that tag u sent tonite.
