yan, how did ur PD diagnose ur bb with reflux?
jillian, dun be too hard on yourself.. think of it this way - ally's hardly going to remember this when she grows up! lack of sleep really does wonders to our patience (or lack of it)..
reflux or not - brought bb to see PD today and was reassured that even if it's reflux, there is no need for treatment yet as 1) bb gaining weight very well (put on 600gm in 2 wks since birth) 2)bb is not crying excessively, esp during feeds (if he is crying during feeds, more likely to be esophagitis, and hence needs treatment). was reassured that throwing up milk even 3-4 times after a feed is still acceptable, so long as it is not projectile and relatively small amounts each time. advised us to feed at 2hrly intervals, not more frequent to reduce vomiting from overfeeding. just to share the above info with mummies who are also worrying abt their bb's vomiting.
H1N1 - guess nobody more worried than i am.. hb is a confirmed H1N1 case
and he got ill last thurs.. #1 also fell sick last sat, and in view of contact history, we also started her on tamiflu. now keeping fingers and toes crossed that bb does not kena. to be careful, we all wear masks when handling bb now.. so if u have flu like symptoms, better to err on the side of caution and don a mask b4 handling bb since >50% of pp with flu like symptoms are likely to have H1N1.
