bloom,
after using the soap bar & scrub and sending it to washing machine (use the baby detergent), the stains shd go off completely.. but i didnt hands on la... i just see my mum do it (coz she ask me dont touch too much cold water) and the nappies no more yellow stain after that.
doggiebb, kimi,
my bb oso still yellowish! yesterday realized her eyes was kinda yellowish so brought her to pd to check. pd say need to do liver function test. dunno whether pd didnt do a good job or what but after poking the needle onto the back of bb's right hand, she say bb blood flow out very slow... bb very stingy w her blood etc etc.. all the nonsense comments. bcoz the blood flow was so slow, she took so damn long and bb was wailing like crazy. and then after that, say still not enough blood, need to withdraw more blood, so she poke the left hand also. and then bb went thru another round of wailing. wahlau.. i really cannot tahan n cried like crazy oso. but at least the blood flow was faster from the left hand. then when i brought the bb home, can see her rite hand blueblack. is that normal?? i really think that it was the pd who didnt insert the needle correctly, tat is why the blood couldnt flow out properly. somemore can see the poke hole on both bb's hand, coz the needle is so big. after tat the whole day bb seems to remember the pain... put her to sleep, after awhile she will 'bik chwee' (mouth upside down frown) and then cry in her sleep. she was never like that.
then the clinic supposed to call me this morning to tell me the results.. they didnt n i call them. first they say they will check the results, and then call me back. waited... no phone call, so i call them just before they close for lunch... now they say the result not out yet. they will call me when its out in the afternoon. they didnt. waited till 15mins before they close for the day, then i had to call them up again. finally they say, oh they results just came in. thank God bb's liver is fine. but jaundice is at 10.9 (they use another testing method) so its still high. ask me to go down on the 5th again.. if jaundice still high, will need to do urine test. i haf my doubt abt this pd liao.. coz must bb really do the liver function test before even testing if her jaundice level is up? even though bb seems yellow but never do the jaundice level test, immedieately do the lft. somemore i had to wait for 1 hour before seeing the pd. though the signboard say newborn gets priority but it didnt seems to be the case. i still had to wait for my queue number. very fed up!! seriously thinkin of changing pd.
kimi,
i oso very vexed that no sun these few days.. wanna sun bb oso cannot.. then how to reduce bb jaundice wor! now i stop all confinement food liao... no ginger, sesame oil or alcohol (but i havent consume alcohol yet la). hopefully w that, bb jaundice can be lowered.
dunno coz these few days very stress, and that i oso didnt pump out, and that bb usually just suck 5mins.. that my supply seems to have dip! this evening started to pump out and could even get 10ml from both breast!! so cham! and i just got my medela pis advanced. thought with it could get more milk but so disappointing.
decbb,
i oso really luan abt when to pump... coz bb suck so little (abt 5mins) and her timing really off one.. sometimes can be within 30mins+ to 3hours+ interval, kinda worried when i pump out then she wanna feed. but i am thinking of feeding bb ebm the next few days so that i can consistently pump 2 hourly to improve ss.
Vanessa,
ss starting to dip, is there still time/chance to boost it? or once dip means slowly gone liao?
och,
why your mil like that? her own granddaughther oso she suan?? and what is there to suan anyway?!
abalone,
so far i havent bathe bb oso.. my mum bathe her. bb look so fragile.. haiz.. dunno if i can handle or not after confinement.
let me vent on hubby now...
just now i cried again coz ss already so low n also so fedup w hubby lor. past 2 days he come back, kiss bb awhile then go and play games on the pc liao. now that my parents are here, he no need to do housework (all my parents do) so he is much free-er liao. then instead of helping to take care of bb or learning how to do things for bb, he use the free time to play game?! during Christmas break, he keep wanting to carry her.. then these few days dont want. no consistency and wanna bb to follow his schedule n mood?? really dunno wat he is thinking! last time already went for the antenatal class.. theoritically he knows, but ask him to do he say he dont know how. dunno then learn la.. tat is what i am doing oso wat. cannot just keep saying dunno then dont haf to do rite? arrghhhh.... just feel v v sian and depressed.
