Reborn
Bad CL can really cause post natal blues. Sit her down and tell her your expectations. If really cannot make it better ask her to leave la
Yay baby can go home with mummy liao!!!

Pi sai: just use small cotton bud to gently swipe around the nostrils. Don't poke too deep. Usually it doesn't bother baby unless you hear it when baby breathes

Wow that is a really high fever! Hope it goes away soon!! Will she let you put the fever patch? Mine won't but she loves panadol!
Hubby going out
Sayang lotusmum and reborn. Men... Just don't get it hor? Must tell them la. We're very fragile right now, both emotionally and physically. But if he's out, take the opp to rest ok? Nobody around to ga-jiao you!
No la not all men are like that
mine gave me a good rest the first week but today, going to PD he walked very fast then me, still aching between the legs and carrying baby, walked slowly. I said "baby is 8 days old". He said "ya". I said "that means I GAVE BIRTH 8 days ago and am still healing from a major surgical operation of sorts leh. Cannot walk so fast". Then he understood. They must be reminded sometimes that we're not the super women they want us to be
Argh a bit stressed
Went to PD today cos baby's umbillical cord area got pus. This is just a few days after the first check up. So in first week it is normal for baby's weight to drop by 10%. That's what happened for me. Then today check, drop a bit more. PD now says "maybe she's not drinking enough". Bo bian, I got to feed her more often. Cannot let her sleep too much, must wake her for feed every 2 hours. And at night, she sleep, I have to wake up to pump
Apparently now (she's 8 days old) we should be giving 75-90ml per feed
