Kingsley 0-1 month

2025-10-02T16:56:00.005+08:00

Kingsley is the second boys and fourth kid in the house. He met the world on 21 July 2025 20:12. He has no double eyelids. His first looks like his sister Valerie and the nose and lips like his brother Kingston. He is 3.62kg 54cm. Induced with self contraction on 39weeks 5 days.

This was an unexpected pregnancy after 6 years of last pregnancy and I got to know it on my 41th birthday. I could not believe it until I got the ultrasound scan. It has no joke. I am pregnant the 4th baby! I was so worried because my trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe for my poster presentation in the international congress will be in 2 weeks time and I need to take Malaria prophylaxis pill for going to Zimbabwe, it is contraindicated for pregnant women. I was in dilemma whether to take the risk and search for the data of chances getting malaria. Eventually, I decided to go with only mechanical prophylaxis by covering up myself all the time to prevent mosquitoes bite.

His sisters and brother were so happy especially Kingston got to know he is going to have a brother same like him after we confirmed by the DNA NICC test at 10th week of pregnancy.

Throughout the pregnancy is not easy and the worst as compare to last three pregnancy. I felt super exhausted and sleepy. I felt asleep during working hour and felt terrible for the Africa trip at 7-8th weeks. Haemorrhoid pain and nausea especially when taking boat to the Robben Island on first day in Cape Town after a long hour flight. I was sleeping deadly for the whole journey when travelling home. Luckily the nausea and exhaustion were felt minimal at week 14th. We went to Genting Dream cruise at week 14th. When the baby grew bigger and bigger, I felt heavy and lazy to move like every movement is not easy. I felt like stay at home only even on the rest day, but I still accompanies the kids to go shopping and activities. Lucky, Victoria and Kingston can pick up Valerie after school and I can wait inside the car at road side. Nevertheless, I still bear with the tiredness, back pain, and pelvic muscle pain to do all the works and cooking before I can rest on the bed after a busy day. The bad time was I had 3 times got very angry on vvk and canned them badly because vk late to start tuition, eating candy and junk food. Luckily baby Kingsley bore with my emotional changes. I had put on weight 20kg and the feet were swelling like an elephant leg. Luckily vvk had grown up, can do things independent and no need to carry them anymore.

Baby Kingsley was so active and moved a lot and frequently inside my tummy. First time of pregnancy I can felt his hiccup, moving while I’m working (maybe because my work now is sitting on the work desk and less hectic environment). I can feel a lot of contraction, don’t know why kind of pain, easy to sweating in the last semester and can’t continue to sleep at mid night throughout the pregnancy. I worried will go into premature delivery. Luckily I didn’t lost him in an accident fall on the roadside with left side tummy down when in KL vacation. I’m so glad he still like my previous pregnancy, need to elective induce delivery after full term.

First month:
Grow:
Kingston born at 3.62kg and length 54cm.

Feeding:
He was given mix formula and breast milk for the first 2 weeks. The doctor asked to drinks not more than 60ml for the first week of life but I think he got more than that because I let him latched every time after his formula milk. He always cry and drink every 2-3 hours. He got the first breast milk on day 5 after my postnatal massage. I let him latched on one side of breast and collect the breast milk with breast milk collector every time he is latching then I feed him the collected milk (around 30-50 ml each time). This time I didn’t use breast pump at all until he was admitted for phototherapy on day 10th ( blood bilirubin level 18.1). So, I could not count how much he drinks each time but definitely more than 60ml. Maybe 80-100ml? He had jaundice and admitted to hospital for phototherapy on day 6. After the bilirubin reading drop to 10, I didn’t follow up but can see his jaundice last about one month.

Night time:
We didn’t engage a confinement aunt. So I have to take care of him day and night. He woke up every 3 hours at around 2-3am, 5-6am and 8am. I breastfed him and bottle fed him with breast milk after full breast feeding day 14th.

For the first few days of life, he makes a lot of noise and he can latch continuously from 8pm to 11pm before he can felt asleep at 11pm every night. He also refuse pacifier most of the time. He has difficulty to sleep in his cot, so I decided to let him sleep on our bed together so that I no need to move to comfort him. He make less noise after that and can continue to sleep easily after the milk at night. He will wake up for night milk most of time 2 times at 2-3 am, 4-6am and 8-9am. He didn’t cry loudly but just make some kicking or moving that wake me up at night. He is very easy burp by moving him upright after feeding or when stay at upright position.

Development:
He is very sleepy throughout the day and night at the first week but awake longer at 2nd week. He wants mommy to stay beside him then he can sleep longer. He can turn to the side himself. He can attract to the light. He can move his head and quietly sit on the sofa. He feels comfort when his sister Valerie babysits him. He always crying when mommy bring him to upstairs and shower.

He cries when bathing but slowly he feels enjoy at week 3.

I let him latching 1-3 times per day and at night before sleep during confinement month. He is not so good in latching. I can feel the breast stil heavy after latching and he will ask for milk more frequent than bottle feed.

He will cry to ask for bath. He feels happy after bathing and changed clothes.

Playing time:
Most of time he is sleeping. He has a short awake time only.

Mommy:
Lost 8kg after delivered and in first week. Total weight increase throughout pregnancy is 20kg. Mommy only get to take a very short nap, few minutes to half an hour only during day time.

Mommy has extra breast milk start from week 2 when Kingston withhold breast milk for 1-2 days.

Mommy first hair wash and shower on 11th day and then shower and wash hair every 2-3 days.

Wool Cotton Bread

2021-07-04T13:22:00.001+08:00

Ingredients:

Milk 110g

Sugar 50g

Yogurt 1-2 tbsp

Egg 1

Instant dry yeast 1tsp

Bread flour 300g

Dough for 1 minutes

Butter 60g

Salt 1tsb

Dough for 4 minutes.

Awake 8- 10 minutes

Bake 180 Celsius for 15 minutes.

Dough

Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add egg and warm milk. Mix until it becomes a dough.
Transfer the dough onto a work surface. Lightly flour if you find the dough too sticky to handle. Knead for 2 minutes.
Wrap and knead the softened butter into the dough until fully incorporated. It will be messy at first but as long as we keep kneading, the dough will become less greasy and easier to handle. Knead for 10 minutes or until it becomes smooth, elastic, and not sticky.
Shape into a dough ball. Grease it with some vegetable oil in a large bowl. Cover the bowl and place it in a warm area until the dough is doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Assembly
- Grease a 20cm (8-inch) round pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough to release the air inside, then transfer onto a work surface. Divide it evenly into 5 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and set them aside for 15 minutes with a cover.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece into an elongated shape (about 25cm long). Press down the dough around the edges with your thumbs to keep it from stretching back.
- Cut out thin strips of dough along the top 2/5 part of the dough (lengthwise), but keep them intact with the remaining part of the dough. The strips will be dangling if we pick up the whole dough. Spread a thin layer of filling (chocholate/ raisin/ nuts/ custard) over the remaining part (see picture below).
- Fold 1/4-inch (1 cm) from three of the dough edges over the filling. Then start rolling towards the dough strips from the opposite end to form a log. Repeat with the other 4 pieces to get a total of 5 logs.
- Place dough logs around the perimeter of the prepared pan. Cover and rest it in a warm area for 1 hour.
- Gently brush the dough with milk. Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Yogurt Soufflé Cake

2021-06-06T08:52:00.006+08:00

Hello all, here is the light and fluffy souffle yogurt cake recipe (for 16cm / 6in round cake pan):

3 eggs (each egg is 60g including shell) 200g Greek yogurt (3/4 cup) 30ml vegetable oil (2 tbsp) 15ml honey (1 tbsp) 20g all purpose flour (2 tbsp) 18g corn starch (2 tbsp) 1 tsp lemon juice a pinch of salt 60g sugar Bake it with hot water bath in preheated oven (top and bottom heat only, no fan, put the cake at the lowest rack) 150C for 50 minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.

2. Line the base and sides of a 7 inche round cake pan (fixed base) with parchment paper, set aside. (Note: it is not necessary to grease or line the sides of the pan).

3. Sieve together cake flour and corn flour, set aside.

4. Place vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Add yoghurt and whisk to combine.

5. Add egg yolks, one at a time, whisk again to combine.

6. Sieve over the flour mixture, whisk to combine. Small lumps may form once the flour is added, whisk the batter gently till there are no lumps. Add vanilla extract.

7. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed until mixture becomes frothy and foamy. Add half of the sugar and turn to
medium-high speed and beat the mixture. Continue to add in the remaining sugar mixture in separate additions and beat until the egg whites reaches the soft peak stage.
The soft peak stage is reached when the peaks of the whites curl over and droop slightly.
Turn to low speed and beat for another 1 to 2 mins (this helps to stabilise the air bubbles).

8. Add the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture in 3 separate additions, each time fold with a rubber spatula or a whisk until just blended.

9. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan lightly on a table top to get rid of any trapped air bubbles in the batter.

10. Place cake pan in a deep baking tray. Fill the baking tray with hot water (the water should rise up to about 1 inch of the cake pan).

11. Place on the lowest rack of the oven and bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 60 mins.
(Note: every oven works differently, lower the temperature by another 10 degrees Celsius if the cake rise and expands too quickly or if the top starts to crack).

12. Remove cake pan from oven and immediately drop the pan at a height of 20-30cm onto the table top. This helps to prevent the cake from shrinking upon cooling.
Unmould the cake immediately. To unmold, place a large plate or baking sheet on top of the cake pan, invert the cake pan onto the plate/baking sheet.
Remove the cake pan and the parchment paper on the base and sides of the cake (Note: do use oven mitten as the cake pan will be very hot).
Next, place a cooling rack on the base of the cake, invert the cake right side up onto the cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

Leave the cake to chill in the fridge for about 2 to 3 hours, best overnight, before serving.
