Pulling Hair
My mom told me about how my sister like, when she was a baby – very much like Isabel. They both cry very fiercefully, and no compromise.
She told me about an incident of my sister: one day she was crying very loudly and mum rushed in to check – nothing was wrong. Then realized that she was pulling her hair and didn’t know how to let go!
Yesterday evening, after I bathed Isabel at MIL’s house, I put her down on the floor to dress her (sigh! MIL’s place is not ready for her yet, but DH insisted that I brought Isabel there…). After I wiped her dry, I saw her left hand reaching the head, and I remembered my sister’s story.
As I was thinking, I heard Isabel screamed! Yes! She just grabbed a bunch of hair, and didn’t know how to let go. He left hand tried to retreat, with the hair still clutched tightly in her hand. It took me a while to release the hair, coz she was grabbing it so tightly!
Hahaha! No wonder everyone said my daughter looks like my sister – no only the look, but the behaviour and this hair pulling thingy too! LOL! 
better keep her botak all the time… LOL!
That’s so kooky..! kekeke!!
Egghead so bad!
Lucky for u, u heard ur mom’s story. If not, will be wondering like mad, what she was making a fuss of
Sometimes when we mommies panicked, cannot see the obvious. Check this & that instead. Lol
Haha.. make me think of my girl. She also did the same thing when she was only few days old… This bad mummy some more can laugh at her and at the same time, rescuse her also lah
egghead: seriously, I now ‘understand’ why the old folks want to cut botak babies’ hair. Hahaha!
Mamabok: Kekeke, I tot so, and that’s why I blogged about it – wants to record this down and let her reads it later (if she is ever interested)
Lin: Hmm… come to think about it, yes you are right! If not because of my mom’s story, I probably will be panic. Hahaha!
Beckysmum: Really? Few days old… did you use mitten? Or was it also like my case – after bathing, or mitten dropped?
Hahaha… so cute. I reckon if my 2 boys weren’t botak by the time their itchy fingers start roaming, we’ll see lots of these cases…
Never encounter this, both my kids are botak by full month!
She pull her hair when my confinement lady bath her…
I laugh behind.
