harlo, good morning, mummies..
brot my boi to see the speech and learning theraphists..was advised to let him bottle for 1/2 hr using bigger pigeon teats...the rest still must tube feed...
then da da came the drama part....went for the heart appointment..the doctor instructed a lady (i presume is doc) to hear his heart..then she said okay and the male doctor said..if everythg okay, can discharge him but must still take an ultrasound...
THEN, an ultrasound was taken and it took a vy long time...i was gettin nervous and frightened and kept asking the ladies dg the scan whether it was anythg serious and life threatening..they kept saying no...
THEN, they called the male doctor in(it was in an adjoining room) and the doctor scanned again and then said that there was an extra blood vessel to which he couldnt find the source as to where it came from or where it goes to...so he called another "tua loh koon" (more senior looking doctor) to come in...he took some more time to scan and then said that it was common for preemies who were on ventilator for such a long time to develop tis extra blood vessel and many pple cld hv it without noeing it...
He and the other doctor came to same conclusion : Leave it as it is without doing anythg and next appt in four mths time...worse come to worse, must operate...hope not, i cross my fingers and toes....
i asked him if we shld take any special precaution or anythg..he said just treat him as normal..being paranoid as i am, i was worrying whether tis is affecting his drinking time or not....
sorry for lengthy post...just want to get it off my chest...

Hi Yvonne,
My notti girl is now 7.5mos. At 4 months she had UTI. After investigation and many horrible tests, we realised she had an extra right kidney. The valves connected at the kidney to the bladder is weak. Hence her urine tracts back to the kidney and infects it. If left untreated, she'll get repeated fevers and worse case scenario, she needs a kidney transplant.
Lucky we detected early. I've read cases of late intervention, and poor baby lost one kidney.

yes, kkh by far has the best know-how.
as long as yr boy is happy & active, u shud not worry too much now.
anyway, u know how terminal-sounding the medical terms are... it's probably the same tis time round.
stressed,
can dd's condition be treated/controlled with oral medication? will it she outgrow it?
or just treat symptomatically as & when? like panadol for fever, etc.

hi yvonne,
No lor. Even after her minor op, she still needs to go on medication until they certify her clear of any possibility of UTI. Regardless how old she is...
Treating symtomatically won't help coz it'll still come back again. But treat at the root level. That's why they say fevers are only symtoms and not an illness.
Costa,
We are bringing her to an ultra sound test soon to see if the op worked or not.
I so sim tia to see her suffer again and again.

me oso dun noe why an extra long use of ventilator causes tis extra blood vessel?i din ask in detail oso....
think it doesnt have any symptoms as tis was onli discovered two days ago and not during the five months he stayed in hospital..
it cld not be detected thru stethoscope nor cld they hear any heart murmur and now kena tis..i oso blur, man....
tink ventilator helps our preemies to grow but yet there are side effects like damages to other organs etc which we may not be aware of..i ever heard the nurses say that being on ventilators is like a vicious cycle..they need it and yet over long time, can cause other things...

irenelovej,
My dd had fever one day and it didn't subside that night even though I fed paracetomol.
actually the few days before, prior to her fever, she was sleeping alot during the day. But she had no fever.
So that night at 11pm, we went to KKH and they tested her urine. They found abnormal high white blood cells. She was admitted that night. It was sooo unexpected that I cried in front of the doc. Then I cried again when they poke the plug into my dd.
Aiyooo...I really cried alot during that period. :/

Sorry for replying so late. You were asking me why starting late on the solid will have side effects.
I checked with my ds speech theraphist and was told that not advisable to leave it too late. Cos there's window of opportunity and it gets harder for a child to accept when older. Studies have been shown to affect oral motor and speech too.

I was told by nurses in SCN that private hos have the jab on the bottom. KKH will jab on the left arm for BCG.
My ds also perspire when in air-con room of 26deg c. Currently still have to put a timer fan in my air-con room. If no fan, you will see droplets on his head. No long pants or blankets. Only wearing his romper..... Tried to put socks and was taken off....
He's used to turn from sleeping on his back to being prone on tummy. But he's always clever enough to turn his head to 1side even when he's very young like 1-2mths old after birth. But of course, must monitor him every now and then.
FYI, any muumies whom want to buy those cooling mattress in bigger size and could not find them in hos pharmacy. I had bought 1 almost adult size cooling mattress from TOYOGO warehouse in Toa Payoh Industrial Park and cost only $10+. Cheaper than what the hos pharmacy selling. No leaks after bought for 2-3mths.
For Neosure milk powder is normally added to breastmilk. So I'm not sure whether full dosage will cause reflux a not.

Extracted from a mummy whom share in Mel's thread on how to increase EBM:
========================================
hi hope i'm not intruding... but just like to share a personal method that works for me to produce more supply of BM. i b'fed my son till he was 34mths then he self-wean
1) 3 full tsb of fenugreek seeds boiled with 1 litre of water.
yes, i drank 1 litre of this fenugreek water in additional of 1 cup coffee/tea or fruit juices, green tea....
frankly i dislike plain water, so i tend to drink other drinks as mentioned. i love fruit juices and had that all sorts everyday.
2) how long do u need to boil it?
3 tbsp full of seeds to 1 litre water, boiled within 10mins and store in my flask. the seeds will expand in the water so that's fine. at times, i just carry on and add hot boiled water and just let the seeds soak in it. the flasks i bring along to work & home every day.
3) how long did u drink it b4 ur supply increased?
hmmm.... with in a week, but must drink everyday inclu weekends.
4) must it be drank hot?
no.... i drank it warm and cool
5) did u take any other stuff to boost supply at the same time?
i ate ALOT of fish.... every dinner must have... usually steam, but i love fish all sorts....
i tried fenugreek caps. from GNC but doesn't work as well as the drink. the drink is very much effective.
6) what was ur supply like b4 drinking this?
ds was on total bf and on demand since birth... i wasn't working till he was about 11mths old (b4 his 1st year) so that helped alot !! as i was able to stock up alot of b'milk. i did had a good supply of milk to start with. but due to going back to the workforce, supply dropped... even though ds was eating solids but he still wants b'milk. so a mummy intro me to the seeds and it worked real well.
most of the express milk, i don't give ds, it's my maid and dh will feed him only when i'm busy or not around. every chance i have i will direct b'feed ds. especially the moment i get home from work 6+pm, have a quick shower and b'fed ds. he will drain and empty both breast and very quickly by 10+pm my supply will be filled for his bed-time feed. also before i leave for work, i will b'feed him too for him to empty both breast. at work, by 10+am i am able to pump out a good 8-12 oz and again by 4+pm.
by the way, fenugreek is a natural food source so can start on it at any time for the increase of the milk production. you can buy pkts from spice-shops, wet markets, etc... i don't see it in supermkts though.
hope these info helps.
hang in there and don't worry so much.
stress is the no1. reason for supply drop. good luck.

wat pump r u using? a good pump can help to stimulate milk supply too. i use Medela PIS advance. so far so good. milk supply can maintain, even though my boy didn't latch ever since he's 2 mths (now coming to 9 months). so in this 7 mths, i've been fully pumping. maybe u can change to a good pump see if it helps.
get ur maid to help u boil the fenugreek lah

hi mummies,
yes, it's much tougher for us premmie mummies when it come BM supply.
Without direct latching fr bbs, add on stress & worry, lack of rest...
it's oredi amazing that we still managed to pump watever we've got.
don't be discouraged if supply is running low,
yr little ones know that mummy has done her best

mix it with some warm water and feed direct to your boy...thats what my fren does...not too sure about the proportion though...think u can let the medicine hall people know u giving to ur bb..they will know wat to do..
does ur boy have to take multi vits and iron supplements?

bao yin dan works for my boy.
for such young age of your baby (<6mths), just pour it to amount to fill half the cap of the bao yin dan tube, transfer tat to a teaspoon with some water n feed to the baby. once a day, or whenever she/he puke milk or vomit
