famela: i'm really at a loss. Have to decide within today or tomorrow.
hey people, I think I read somewhere about how much the baby's weight gain should be, but I can't remember much. How much should it be?
Yesterday my husband got into his kancheong spider mode, felt baby's face eczema was very bad, decided to bring him to see pd even when I was tired and wanted a nap, plus he brought his parents along. My mother offered to drive them back coz my husband had to go off for his own med appt, but I felt it looked pretty exaggerated to have 3 grandparents fussing over a simple case of eczema, so I went instead. Anyway, couldn't find the branch in Bishan, another clinic was closed, and the rest of the 15-20 clinics we saw were all GPs instead.
Finally I told my hubby to try to pd near my house, so brought baby there. PD said his weight gain is not enough. birth weight 3.7, now at 7-8 weeks only 5.25. Is it too little? How much should baby gain each week? THen he suggested that I give a bit more of FM (had been on 95-98% BM), but the previous PD told me to go on TBM to reduce allergy. My son has eczema on face. This PD said it's a tricky situation becoz to reduce allergy, should go TBM, but becoz weight is low, should supplement with FM. So now I don't know what to do.
Then I also realised the health booklet states vaccinations at 1st month, but the PD at thomson booklet says 2nd month, which I had asked the replacement PD. Argh!! I'm so confused. So far my son had gone to see doctor 3 times, and every time different one.
