Blowing (following Mami)



When Alyssa was 2-3 months old, she had the rotavirus vaccination (which is an oral vaccine). Our pediatrician tried to have her swallow the vaccine and blew in her face after dropping the vaccine in her month. He said that baby has a reflex to swallow things when they are blown in the face.

Mami and Papi used the same strategy when Alyssa had Bonchitis in December last year when they had to give her medicine. However, Mami tried to blow in her face again a month ago and realized that this reflex had disappeared. Instead, she found out that Alyssa was/is imitating her to blow (hm... with some free saliva to give away as well...).
