my baby still got jaundice. he had his liver test done yesterday and PD cleared it, so nothing to worry. it will eventually go away. so right now, my CL (she was nice enuff to call and check on us though she has gone back) told me to steer clear fr ginger, wine and sesame oil. she said she ever came across this lady's baby whom went in & out of the hospital 3 times due to jaundice, and it juz refused to go away. in the end, she cut down on ginger, wine & sesame oil. Bingo! the jaundice immed dipped. so i asked my MIL & mum to stop using these items and we will monitor my son. anyway since his liver test has cleared, we r all not too worried.
Neo Garden is not halal. but its subsidiary is. can call them to ask.

i introduced water to my baby abt 2 wks back. reason is not coz he needs water (as TBFg babies do not need any supplement) but rather coz i worried nxt time he dun like to drink water. so i will let him drink once a day.
i normally latch my bb on for 15 mins on 1 breast only. sometimes he will drink for 20 mins & still crying for more, so will latch on the other side. but it seldom happens lah.
oh u on FM ah? then mayb can train ur baby. i haven figured out how to train mine. as long as he stays for 3-hourly feed at night, i am more than contented liao.

Yah i realised tt my boy likes to sit upright too. he will stop crying when we do tt. sometimes i wonder issit coz they find it a novelty to sit up and onserve things.
yesterday my boy was sooooo cranky aft his Hep B jab. i noe it shldnt cause any side effects. thing is, my boy din cry but he refuse to SLEEP! we trie to rock, carry, sing, chg positions, all dun work! even my usual & last resort, let him nurse in bed till he sleep oso din work! i was so desperate i wanted to go back to my mum's plc last nite coz i din hv much sleep the previous night & wasnt able to catch a nap yesterday coz he was so cranky, i was sleep deprived alrdy. luckily he slept when we put him on our bed. i dread to think how it wld b like when he goes for more "major" jabs. i told my hb i will bring him back to my mum's plc if tt happens.
Same as me, if no one at home, i let my boy cry.. if there is someone at home, i hv to quickly attend to him so he dun disturb the rest. hahaha...
wow, caleb latches on both breasts for 15 mins each? he is drinking alot! mine drink lagi little when he is fed EBM, so tt day when u said my supply us alot, i 4got to tell u my boy is a small eater.
but he gained quite a bit of weight leh. supposed to gain abt 1kg fr birth, mine gained 1.6kg. PD jokingly said my baby is so well-fed & being pampered.
does Caleb try to lift his head when u carry him upright? mine will rest at my chest for a while, then aft tt v kpo, lift his head (unsteadily) and try to peep ard! hahaha... then he usually "bangs" on my chest aft he cannot tahan lifting anymore. OUCH! tt hurts me when he does tt... soon their neck muscles will b stronger and he wun hv to bang on me again! YAY!
