Need mummies advise.....
My girl jaudice on day3 was 130 plus went up to 160 plus on day4 den on 1 day phototherapy den discharged w me aft that...
My sis suggested to bring bb to polyclinic to check on jaudice instead of pd cos jaudice very common for bb n bb got priority in polyclinic...
1st test 123 asked to come back a week later jaudice went up to 150 den asked to come back in 3days time levels went abit up to 157 but weight loss not sure is that because of diff clothes wore on both days...kena asked to go nuh a&e den run few blood test rule out jaudice n weight loss not because of other problem n asked to feed more to flush out jaudice n gaining weight...
Refer our case to clinic A children clinic in nuh...last Monday her weight was 2.218g today 2.438g dr said one day gained ard 3g she expect 15g per day...just whatsapps hub he said one day more than 30g did e dr count wrongly? Please advise based on that figure is it ard 30g or 3g per day? Shall I bring bb back to mt e novena to c pd there? Will e pd qn me why initially nv bring back but go polyclinic? TIA

My supply also dun work well this round... I realised my right nipples has fewer outlets than left resulting super unbalance yield . I usually pump at 3 hrly at day time n 4 hrly at night.How to increase the supply thru pumping har?
This round my supply very constant din increase leh
Current yields 100-120 only but I pump 4hrly day time night 4 or 5 or 6 hrly lolz depend how tired I am heheMy supply also dun work well this round... I realised my right nipples has fewer outlets than left resulting super unbalance yield . I usually pump at 3 hrly at day time n 4 hrly at night.
You can try to hand express a while more after pumping... Helps emptying but tiring la, i only do extra work during the day and alternate pumping.
Another way is to increase the suction Levels... Start off with 4,then 5...some times i up to 6 to pump additional 5-10mins...
Whats yr yield now? Mine is not impressive too...I was hoping maybe in a mth or two will be more stablised... Mean while i am still drinking RDT with fennel, coriander seeds... Not sure if those Helps...

Yes muz feed more to reduce jaundice.. n also sun baby abit ?

My son was born on 31st Jan. He was warded in KKH for phototherapy for 2 nights last Sat. His bilirubin levels have been hovering around 120 last week and shot up to 160 today. He's on total bf. Peeing and pooing well. Just wanna ask if any of your LO has similar experiences. And also advice on what I should do now. Feeling very worried now...
U bring ur bb to polyclinic or pd? From west e pd or need to go to e hospital u deliver ur bb?Im givin water to my boi too. Cos if not he wont want to drink water down the road. Lol
Our is 1 week diff but still kena say is pre term bb...just I was so angry kns e nurse at nuh shout in e clinic asking is that pre term or full term bb...den everyone looking at me...I read somewhere that preterm baby tends to kenna jaundice more serious abit. So it's normal..
My baby also slightly preterm 36 weeks 5 days. . They label in his health book as "late pre term"
How old ur baby already ?? I think the Peak of the jaundice is around 6 days old.. +-
But ur supply is enough for ur girl right?My supply also dun work well this round... I realised my right nipples has fewer outlets than left resulting super unbalance yield . I usually pump at 3 hrly at day time n 4 hrly at night.

My hub best lor saying he feed my girl don't want to drink so say he okie to wash bottle aft feed but I still got to feed n take care cos hub can't hear she crying unless too loud...My avg yield now is only abt 100-120ml, barely enough for one feed cos my boy is taking around 130ml per feed now. My hubby and I have worked out a system for the night feeds, we divide the night into 2 shifts. 1st shift - his last feed b4 bedtime is around 11-12, I will pump n then go to bed in the master room, my hubby feed the EBM n change diaper, n sleep in the nursery. Then abt 3.5 hrs later, i will wake up to pump again n my hubby will go back to sleep for the rest of the night in the master room, while i will feed the EBM n change diaper n take the 2nd shift in the nursery. This feed will then last till the morning. Bb so far is cooperative (touch wood), these few days I'm tired, but not exhausted like before. Problem with this system though is that my hubby n I don't get to sleep in the same room anymore... while I was preggy, he thought he had it bad cos it was "look, no touch"... but now its worse cos its "no look, no touch". Lol.
I'm 6 wks postpartum today. Called my gynae's clinic regarding my bleeding, they say it could be due to breastfeeding withdrawal bleeding, or more likely, as i'm supplementing with FM, its the return of my period. Shhiiitt, i thought i will get at least a few months' break from the pads n tampons after my lochia cleared. Haiz.
Yalah 1 side I no need to complain leWe talking combined yield not one side hor...

For #1, born at 37wk5d, 2.3kg, low birth weight was referred to Dr Ang Ai tin at tmc. Coz Im not comfy w her, for #2 I op for dr Ong eng keow Fro mt a, although I still deliver at tmc.Ya lor got any pd good in handling low birth weight bb? Don't think e dr in nuh are specialist in it...sigh
Mine peak was 181..Our is 1 week diff but still kena say is pre term bb...just I was so angry kns e nurse at nuh shout in e clinic asking is that pre term or full term bb...den everyone looking at me...
My bb this sat 1 mth old...my actual edd now become end of my confinement day...lol
My bb jaudice peak was 167...I so scare will went up again so cut down alcohol n no ginger...how abt urs?
Me too! For the first time ex-preggy, I'm experiencing back ache. Which is why i'm inclined to think my bleeding could be a period, though i never had back ache last time, but i know that's a common symptom of a period. Either that or its due to all the bending over my fixed side cot.
Yah I am talking about combined sob sob not one sideWe talking combined yield not one side hor...
For my #1 we did the same schedule as you but for my #2 not applicable sob cos she is a night owl and sometime I suspect she has preference who to handle her at night haizMy avg yield now is only abt 100-120ml, barely enough for one feed cos my boy is taking around 130ml per feed now.

Ya my mum bought packet herbs for me to cook myself when cl back for cny...but I feel that like not enough so hub said order tingkat continue eat confinement food...really hope can nurse my body back...Same I also felt my body not back to normal yet. So my ah ma still Continue to cook me confinement food... n cook black chicken essence
Confinement tinkat should b all have ginger ? U juz dun eat the ginger will do...
N also u can try make ur own black chicken essence. It's very good.
How u feel e dr ong eng keow? Okie w low birth weight bb?For #1, born at 37wk5d, 2.3kg, low birth weight was referred to Dr Ang Ai tin at tmc. Coz Im not comfy w her, for #2 I op for dr Ong eng keow Fro mt a, although I still deliver at tmc.
no...... she drinking 130ml per feed...i'm at deficitBut ur supply is enough for ur girl right?
Ya lor kns stupid nurse label ppl bbs that way...I always believe karma will back to the person who are inconsiderate n bad ppl...my sis said pre term bb is like her friend bb born 7 mths preggy n need to stay in nicu...I very happy my girl born above 2kg n she is strong fighter w me during pregnancy time as I'm medium risk to begin w till very high risk to emergency c-sec to bring her out b4 water burst as dilated 1cm le n too regular contractions n bb turn head from below to side one leg down one leg straight...mother instinct telling me to contact gynae for less movement but ctg showed everything okie e next day ultrasound showed need to deliver once blood test result out cos need to do few blood test beforehand as I have GDM n protein s deficiency which may result transfer of blood during op lucky only lost 400ml blood so still ok don't have to worry...Mine peak was 181..
But was cleared on week 3 as I went suntan everyday when he reach 181 n become dehydrated...
Now u say then I realised.. ya hor.. end of confinement n actual edd only difference few days..
Yes I dun like them to label my bb as preterm baby. Although it's slightly preterm only. But sad to say this term will stay with them.
when my gal go see polyclinic some times they will refer back n say "oh she is a preterm baby" n will correct them "she is a 36 week 1 day preterm baby with good weight"
N now my baby also.. go polyclinic they call him preterm baby. I replied lack 2 days to be full term ....
Even buy insurance also they will be bother abt the term "preterm" as it's written in their health book.
Dun be bother abt it. So what if they are preterm. They are still our precious and we should be happy they are healthy n strong unlike some babies so poor thing... our "preterm" babies are strong fighters![]()
Didn't know there is pre mature specialist in it...btw can share how is e charges? And have to go mt a c him? Cos I stayed in west...
Huh? If like sometimes got blood sometimes no? Jialat lor now i worry also...1st baby correct ?? Better nurse back. Else next time worse...
We can eat "bu" even up to 40 days or 4 mths....
Do take note of ur bleeding. If more bleeding then better go see gynae. As I read if we "over work or over exert" we can cause our bleeding to start again n it's actually bleeding from damage of womb. As womb yet to recover completely (take mths for it to fully recover as we took 10 mths to carry a baby. Recovery also not instant ) so better take note juz in case
So how u feed her? Combine w next pump? Supp w fm? U feed every 3 hrs?no...... she drinking 130ml per feed...i'm at deficit
Saw the pd..got the nurse to suction her nose..hope she can sleep better now. Heart pain when she cried so loudly till tears all in the eyes. She's 5 kg now! No wonder my back hurt so much when I woke up this morn..hmm, there is nth we can do about it.. my girl breathe very loud and also uses her mouth to breathe, thats why she has alot of wind in her stomach.. den he gave us a saline spray and ask us to spray lo.. sigh..
