Just brought the kid for a wellness checkup. She is weighing exactly 8kg and measures 67cm now. Everything seems to be fine. Of course, I could jolly well skip this session, but I think I need to spend some money to reassure myself. Though not as worried as before, I am still concern over Yauyau lost in interest in babbling (loosing language skill is one of the red flag for autism, though babbling might not be considered a language skill). The baby was responding to her well, and therefore Dr Liew told me not to be overly bothered by her quiet self, and it is difficult to pick up symptoms of autism at such young age. However, she wants to monitor this area as there might be possibility of speech delay if it doesn’t improves.

And she told me the preservative free Hep B vaccine is available now. She could order it for me if I am keen. I think she still finds it ridiculous that I am so cautious of the normal vaccine (afterall, Yauyau had already received two doses, and there are more poisonous stuff in our living environment). Again, she mentioned the normal single vial vaccine she uses is virtually preservative free, but the manufacturer cannot claims it to be so because thimerosal was used during manufacturing, unlike those use in Polyclinics, which contains preservative as they are meant for administering multiple shot. But I just don’t want any “poison” to be injected into her when I have a choice to get her safer ones. Anyway, she is a nice lady who is willing to place an order for me.
