A month in the life of Jasmine Maya

The most significant event in Jasmine's life this month was the arrival of her brother, Harry. She had her first cuddle with him when he was just 14 hours old, and she was slightly bemused by the process. When initially visiting mummy and Harry, Jasmine showed more interest in the pink balloon attached to another baby's cot than she did to her baby brother. However, she eventually began to notice him, pointing to his eyes and nose. She also prodded mummy's tummy, clearly puzzled as to where the bump had gone.

Jasmine is not used to being apart from mummy, and her family wondered how she would cope while mummy was in hospital. Jasmine was looked after in her own house by granny and happily she remained very settled and accepting of the changes around her. Granny kept her in her normal routine as far as possible.
