wee, txks for sharing w us ur story abt hui's case. u may c me kept quoting mrs wong, like i rgd her as god like tt. well, i can oni say me & hb hv completely different experiences fr urs.
during my hospital stay aft delivery, bfing was still ok. then on 3rd day, jake had jaundice, so puts him under e light, e nurses afraid he dehydrate, so suggest to give him glucose water & i agreed, tt nite, he struggled during bfing, suspected tt e nurses had fed him w bottle. we discharged on 4th day, back at hme, he struggled during bfing & nxt day, he totally refused to latch on. i was so panicked tt we called mrs wong several times & she really advised us wat to do to tong thru tt day cos it's PH, then we went to parentcraft nxt day to look for her & her nurse helped us out. w/out her & her nurses, i wld not hv succeeded in bfing til now.
for e 1st few wks, jake had quite a few probs. he did not poo, spotted some yellowish particles on his diaper, which PD was worried abt, 1st lab test showed possibilities of a v.harmful bacteria which got us so worried. had to collect urine sample a few x for further lab tests. then he got fever, fussed over feedings, continued to lose wt instead of gaining, etc. when we can't contact PD, we contacted mrs wong & she had been v.helpful. she even answered our call on a sunday morning & told us tt if we r still worried, can always call her back. there were aso a day when we kept calling her 2-3 x & she din answer e calls, but later e day, she called & said tt she had miss calls & asked us wat's e prob.
our experiences w mrs wong were just like u & hui's experiences w kkh's LC. i'm not trying to defend her but i guessed she's really too busy liao. she's not just a LC lor, she aso runs e parentcraft centre, attends mtg, conducting bb massage classes, updating her books, volunteered herself to give talks. she was so biz tt i supposed to c her when jake refused to latch but ended up seeing her nurse, even her nurses aso v.biz, i gotta wait for my turn & there's many occassions when our calls to parentcraft were not answered. for jake to be her recent model for bb massage, i had to call many many times to cfm everything cos e nurse never called me tho she said she wld. so lessons learnt were to keep calling or u wun get wat u need or reqd. i forgot to call to cfm details abt e weaning talk, & i ended up going to e wrong location, they change location aso never inform me.
sorry for being so long winded.
