alicia,
this condition doesn't sound rare if 1 in 300, but perhaps due to our singaporean culture, pple more hush hush abuot it. Hopefully resourceful mich can find some support for u. I asked hubby and he is aware of it too.. he said it shouldn't affect too much. he claims the school nurses usually check for it during BCG time cos they will pull open the underwear to see bird bird..

bryan got bounce back today! heee, false alarm i think. Maybe he cry too much that day cos he squirm too much and roll until he hit his head onto the incubator wall.. nobody save him until i came. the neighboring babies' parents all happy let him entertain them with his crying and frantic waving.. hai
i want to add after bryan discharge.. then no need to bother ryan's mummy twice to update mah. can also be more specific about how long he stay.
Never bother u for bottles already. SCN def easier to get! heee.

How i look forward to playing "masak masak" with bryan! i always play with my centre's kids when they do play doh. They get so happy!

thanks for encouragement. bryan has bounced back!
i also share kkf thoughts on cc. But i also thought on top of curriculum, you might want to check how the school encourages learning and socialising, or even discipline? Many mummies forget the psycho-social part of education. I have seen childcares who end up traumatising the kids with their discipline styles.
Updates on bryan
Yesterday tummy episode is over. I thought maybe becos he had got stuck at the side of the incubator and cried too much, that's why his tummy bloated.. it happened previous evening when i reached SCN, then he was frantically crying and the lights on his monitor blinking away cos of his high heartbeat. then i found him stucj all the way to the side of the incubator, and head kena baluku. The nurse forgot to sling one of his leg out of the cloth to prevent him from rolling around. Suspect he cry too much and kena wind.
Today kangaroo bryan again.. he is now 35g away from 1.5kg! yay! but i sad cos still so long before he comes home. everytime i kangaroo him, he will tilt his head back and look at me innocently while i talk to him. He even tries to make cute little kitty sounds a bit which he never does. So i know he recognise mummy or maybe mummy's smell already.
anyone tried trimming bb's fingernails in SCN? his nails are long and he kena 2 scratches today on his face. i thought of trimming with nail scissors.
On ebm while on medication
I threw out the ebm expressed after the panadol intake.. decide to play safe. But the sister at SCN actually said the ebm is even better when mummy sick.... (?!) cos mummy's antibodies go into it. Aiyar, but i took panadol FLU too so i thought better not. Anyway i read online that panadol FLU (sudafed) actually reduces ebm by 25%~! i panic after eating but thankfully it din happen. My new house going to be ready soon and i'm going to ask for fridge to be moved in quickly to relieve my ebm storage woes. I can't bear throwing the ebm away yet though i pump up to 1L a day now.. i kind of think bryan will be a big eater like his daddy. better keep some spare in case!
Fairylander,
Your girl shifted out of isolation room? where is she now? i think i saw ur hubby that day. his face a bit chubby one right? (sorry for description hor!!)
