Hi mummies!
Jaundice:
Was at polyclinic yesterday for a prick
Level was high again at 226 (sorry, I only know about this 2-3 digits reading) which is considered pretty high for a 1 month old baby
Referred to KKH Emergency cos could wait till the appt date given
Reached KKH at 2.15pm
Did a series of tests to make sure other organs in the body are functioning well
Only reached home at 8.30pm
The waiting time was a killer, really...
Super duper tired out
Results: Thank God
All is well so confirmed breastmilk jaundice
Asked if I should not total BF but dr advice is to continue since breastmilk is sufficient and good for babies
Hope after the confinement today, all will be ok and her condition will improve
Mummies, yup, alchohol and ginger slow down the clearing of jaundice, according to the dr.
Cheyanne, thanks for sharing the 'recipe' to clear jaundice. Am going to try that out this morning and hope for the best
