re : jaundice/ sunbath
Only UV ray of the sun-ray contribute to the lowering of jaundice level. So sunbath is not effective for cases where jaundice level is high. It is impt then to put the bb under UV machine to lower the level if not she/he will risk having brain damage. Constance is re-admin when her jaundice lvl is 16 , 5 days after birth and discharge at lvl 10 2 days later, pd advise to sunbath her when we got home. So it really depends on the lvl of jaundice and also what is the cause of jaundice. Some jaundice is caused by failure to BF and some is cause by BF itself. So it is impt to consult a pd. My pd told us to only sun her in the morning 8-10am to prevent sunburn while some others say evening sun also can.. i guess, it really depends who you hear from lor.
Re : vaccination.
Going for raffles 6-in-1 lor cos' it relatively cheaper if i going to get all the vaccine. I already made the appointment on the 13 May. Constance will be going to childcare at 18mth.. So i have to give her all the vaccination. And in singapore, the population density is so high, i think vaccination for these disease are very necessary lor.
if there is a outbreak, it will be too late to get her vaccinated.
