First Poop!

Once I was transferred to my ward, we requested for Devon to be brought in with us for our very first family bonding session.



All was well with the cuddling & hugging when all of a sudden, Devon started screaming his lungs out.. gosh, this little one sure has huge vocals! Esther came by to visit then & she told us to check his diaper (thanks experienced mummy!) & what we saw was a tar-like, sticky substance on his diaper. Esther clapped her hands in glee & quickly rounded us up to take a picture of Devon's first poop which is called meconium.

Meconium is the earliest stools of an infant. Unlike later faeces, meconium is composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus, intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, amniotic fluid, bile & water.

We've never been so happy to see poop, but this shows that Devon's digestive system is doing fine & as parents, it's little things like this that matter, isn't it?

Ta-dah!
