<font color="ff0000">High thyroid level</font>

Mummies, has any of you heard of high thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in infant? My baby girl has just been diagnosed with high thyroid. Tested blood 3x already since birth and the level is still higher than normal. Dr Keoy said need to start her on medication. Any mummies know about this illness can share with me, please.

Xi Yu will turn 1 month in 2 days :) Been growing well with my BM, has gained exactly 1kg from the day of discharge (2.9kg) to 3.9kg. So happy :)

<font color="0000ff">krystle</font>
JIA YOU!!! Jaundice is ok. My baby still having jaundiece and Dr Keoy said will take 1 month or so to clear since I am BFing. Keep pumping now and don't give up BF. Think of this which may motivate you - help you greatly in going back to pre-pregnant weight and your uterus back to normal position very fast, in addition to the many other benefits :)

It's definitely not easy. Yes, don't stress yourself for either able to BF or not. But at least have a positive mindset - you will sure have milk! If you feel it's because of latching problem, get the lactation specialist to help asap (I strongly feel that I didn't manage to BF Hao Re because he didn't, or even never(?) latch properly). JIA YOU, okay!!!
 
Kam, glad to hear that Xiyu is gaining weight well. No, never heard of high TSH in infant before. Is it hereditary? Did Dr Keoy explain how she got it? How often must she take the medication?
 
kitsune,
That day seen Dr Keoy, test result was not out yet. His nurse called to tell me TSH level still high, and Dr Keoy said need to start medication. Will see him next week to find out more. From what I googled, it's not heridity and will outgrow will reach puverty. Want to hear from "real life" story than just listen to doc.
 
Kam,
Thanks for your encouragement! Y'day my baby boy was discharged from hospital but he still has to go back on Tues for another PD review as PD worried for rebound jaundice. Ever since he returned, he had been very cranky and made me carry him for the whole night! He was crying for his feed for less than 3 hrs and had slight fever too. I don't know why this happened but at least the fever was gone by 5am... This caused me to be so stressed and tired until I have no time to pump BM... But I will try again when my baby boy is more manageable.

Re: Thyroid
I have not heard of babies getting this but I do have 2 adult friends who had thyroids near their throat area since young. I only remember they did when for some operation before (not too sure what is that for...) and had to be on medication for long term. But I can see them leading normal lives, getting married and having children. So I think you should not worry too much too for your girl. Find out more from doc and see what he say.
 
krystle,
why dun try direct latch on and feed on demand, its a much easier way than pumping which still need to wash and sterilise the parts.

Kam,
I have thyroid problem but only diagnosed in my 20s. Usually it's hereditary or stress-related. For infants, I only know that they may have a high TSH level if the mother had thyroid problem and was over-medicated during the pregnancy or the mother's thyroid condition was unstable during the pregnancy. But for such cases, the infants' thyroid condition is usually temporary and will revert to normal after a while. You're not suffering from any thyroid condition, so I'm not sure why Xi Yu has it. But it may be temporary. Don't worry too much.
 
Hi Kam,
I'm not a Jan mummy but i know a litte about thyroid.

The thyroid hormone is produced by the thyroid gland near our throat. having a HIGH TSH actually means that there is LOW thyroid hormone. TSH is short for "thyroid stimulating hormone" - it is another hormone that STIMULATEs thyroid hormone production. so if someone has LOW thyroid, the body will produce more TSH to try to stimulate more thyroid hormone.

normally if TSH level is abnormal - a thyroid level has to be checked to see if it's high or low. your dr is prob the best person to answer your questions but with a bit of background knowledge , it'll be easier for you to ask questions as well

paging for Pixie
Hey, u havent send me which 2 mags u want me to buy ah? Me flying back on Thurs liao.

Disneyland Tickets
Mandy actually emailed me asking me to buy the Disneyland tickets for her impending trip to HK. So i thot since i'm buying, i might as well other Jan08 mommies here who have confirmed any upcoming trips to HK wants me to get the tickets to Disneyland for them as well. My friend here can get the tickets for 10% discount. I can ask my fren to buy and then pass the tickets to one of you all when i'm back on Thurs. The tickets validity is 6mths. Let me know soonest.

Steph
whats ur email add ah? I will post the eye cream receipt to u instead of bringing it back cos packing my house now...and throwing loose papers and receipts away. De-cluttering!

Btw, i've also recd a 2 packets of GainIQ Stage 3 (for 1yr onwards) in my mail recently, along with a "birthday gift voucher" that enables u to buy 6 cans of 900g GainIQ and get 1 can free (with free delivery). The expiry date is actually 30sept...as i'll be back on 24th sept, any mommies want to get this from me? DUnno if this can be counted as good deal as i've no idea how the FM systems work!
 
kye,

Thanks for the info. When my girl was born, first test indicate low thyroid and high TSH. Second test at 1 week later, showed normal thyroid but high TSH (lower than first test though). Third test at 1 month showed normal thyroid but still high TSH. That's what puzzled me, why normal thyroid but still high TSH. Dr Keoy briefly mentioned high TSH is no good.
 
Kam, was reading your blog. How many kg is Hao Re now? He can be upgraded to booster seat now? I'm also looking at buying a booster seat for RaeAnne next year after Mei Mei outgrows the capsule type of car seat. But worried that she can't hit the min weight of 13.8kg by then. Her weight has been hovering around 10.5 kg for a few months. :p
 
Hi Mummies,
Re:Training Pants

Hi everyone, i would like to check any of your kids nosebleed? my boy have been nosebleed since he was 1 year old. at first he bleed in the middle of the night but now 1 day he can bleed for 2-3times. any of you experience this and have advice how to stop?
 
Something to share to all mothers….

<font size="+1">那晚,我認識的一對年輕夫妻中的太太哭著來電:「你快來!我恨他!我要和他離婚!」
快速趕到他們家,這會兒還正吵的兇呢!

男說:「她很無聊,我上班好累,她說晚上要去散步,我說改天,她就又哭又 鬧,真是討厭!」

女說:「你才討厭,我在家作牛作馬為這個家打掃,為你做飯為你生孩子,為你們臭男人當發洩獸慾的工具,怎麼,只要求散個步你就會累死啦!?」

男說:「喂!生小孩是兩人的事又不是我一人的事,妳累難道我不累?我發洩難道你沒享受?」

女說:「哼!早知道生了小孩你不管我,我根本就不生,我們女人為何辛苦生下孩子,就一定要負責孩子的一切,又不能出去工作。」

男說:「喂!生孩子又不是妳一人能辦到,沒有我妳生個屁。」

女說:「哼!你們男人有何貢獻?享受女人肉體的是你,發洩的也是你,你貢獻什 麼」

男說:「哼!沒有我的貢獻精子妳生什麼!?」

再來下面的話讓人難忘!!
<font color="ff0000">女說:「哈哈!貢獻精子你,享受完了,你射精了,你貢獻了,好..那看看我們女人的貢獻:我懷孕要忍耐嘔吐」
我要小心飲食;我連生病都不敢吃藥;我要為肚裏孩子注意一切;我懷孕不便於行;
我不再能遠行郊遊;我坐車都不方便;我要穿上大肚裝;我不能放心行房;
我要擔心肚裏孩子是否健康;我要定時去醫院產檢;我懷孕要破壞身材;
我要煩惱妊娠紋的出現;生產後要努力恢復身材使丈夫不嫌棄;我要忍受陣痛
我要痛苦生產;我也許須要剖腹生產;我也許會有產後憂鬱症;我要帶初生嬰兒;
我因餵奶而胸部下垂;我要照顧小孩生活起居;我要比小孩晚睡而比小孩早起;
我要半夜起床餵奶;我還是要忙一切家事;我要放棄事業;
我伸手要錢要看丈夫臉色;丈夫出門享樂而我得在家帶小孩;
甚至於走樣的身材是丈夫外遇的藉口!這種種一切就是我的貢獻!
你不過是享受完之後,放一點精子在我肚裏,然後大睡,奇怪…這種情況,憑什麼小孩要跟著你姓?他的血他的肉他的一切都是我給的,你不過只給他一丁點兒,有什麼資格跟我爭?」</font>

這場架吵完了,我記得那丈夫極力想爭辯,卻一點話都說不出來。
想一想,好像事實真是如此。
男人啊!以後真的要對自己的老婆好一點喔!
至於女人嘛!好好把這篇記下來吧!會很好用唷</font>
 
Joyce,
You mean everyday also nosebleed 2-3 times??? Did you bring him to the PD? I don't think frequent nosebleed should be ignored...definitely need medical attention leh.
 
Joyce,
Have your boy hurt his nose before? If yes, you better bring him to see specialist and see what he says.

Because my nephew had similar problem too coz he knocked himself and injured his nose twice seriously. Thus specialist said that the blood tissue in his nose is now very sensitive and fragile and will tear easily => resulting in frequent nose bleed even when he sneezed too hard... There is nothing much to do about it but to let the tissue heal over time or have to do an operation. Given that he is only 4, my bro decided to leave it first and not do the op. Only thing we can do is keep nursing with ice packs when bleeds and be careful not to let him injure nose again.
 
krystle,
Beautiful baby you have! Congrates!

He doesn't look "yellow" leh, in fact, quite a rosy cheek, hope his jaundice has gone.

Your girl accepts her little brother or not? Any strange behaviour?

All the best!
 
Kam, I see, what's Haore's height? No minimum height to the booster seat? Only weight?

Krystle, your boy looks very alert and rosy with pink lips.
happy.gif
Almost mistaken him for a gal though with the pink shirt. Cheh cheh's? ;)
 
Just saw some FB friend's request and some of the mutual friends are Jan08 mommies

Anyone knows who're the following:

1) Jessy Wendy
2) Kerlyn Ong
3) Catherine Sng

Krystle
Agree with kitsune, very nice pink rosebud lips!
