Oh breastfeeding does cause jaundice, no wonder my son was having jaundice during the first 3 weeks.

The doc told me it was my diet, we asian like to take ginger, too much ginger caused jaundice…now I wonder how true is this.

Fannie,
Thanks for telling me the facts that breast feeding does cause jaundice to certain extend. I added the link with such info.

I hope my friend will be succesful in her breast feeding, and I will also be successful in getting #2.

(to let you remain anonymous, I’ll start addressing you this way)
Yeah, even 1 month can make so much difference.

I still remember Zara still had her cord stump with her, and since I didn’t have a confinement lady, I was the one who had to clean her cord stump and always so worry it’ll hurt her. And when it fell off, I almost screamed!

Jesslyn,
more like ?? need to ??. 😛

Maria,
Yeah, I also hope my friend will persevere.

Yeah, last time you terror hor, not just carrying 2 at the same time, tendom feed some more. I don’t know how you did it.

Egghead,
I want cheese, but this ‘cheese’ cannot buy from the shelf, but must self manufacture.

Don’t know ‘factory’ can produce so soon or not. Aigh.

I see LLS handle the inflatable pool, I also won’t let him handle Zara who’s already 1yr old loh. He’s sooo.. soo.. hercules!

Blurblur,
Yeah, so well said. And then I feel proud after, from such a helpless baby, I managed to care for Zara until she’s so big.. 😀

Tracy,
Yeah, changing them and bathing the soft fella wasn’t easy. I was so stupid some more, bought all those t-shirs without buttons ones, puting on the clothes was such a chore, so worry I’ll break her neck.

Helen,
Don’t have to regret, can have another one, and relive the days. And this time, no more mummy’s help, all done by you. 😛

Twin,
Aah, you know Mom2Ashley? Yeah, they grow so fast.

Read the links I’d provided, it does cause mild jaundice, mainly b’cos milk production is slow in the first few days, and the baby may have less fluid intake causing the bilirubin to break down slower.

yeah newborns are most fragile. The last time I carried a new born was Ashley – a few months back when she was a month old – so fragile. Now she’s really big. Hehe. Er since when breastmilk causes jaundice? I read that it will help clear jaundice. Now i’m confused.

Yeah… the newborn really looks fragile!! lol That is why, I’m scared to hold newborns…. sad to say, when my boy was born, it was my mother who took care of him.

I’m happy you are able to savour the joy of motherhood with Zara…. Guess this is gonna be one of my great regrets in life!! 🙂

Newborns are ‘tiny’ and fragile and need extra care when carrying them.

I wasn’t worried of how I should carry my girl but the problem was how to change her clothes and bathe her. She was a mere 2.7 kgs baby. She was so fragile and I was so scared of hurting her. To think about it, dat was about more than 3 years ago.

Ya, u should encourage ur fren to breastfeed her kid.

And as what Egghead mentioned, teach Zara to say “I want cheese” (hee, hee).

We often need a newborn to remind us just how fragile our energetic/chatty/mischievous little ones used to be!

Jia you o! Hope to hear good news soon:)

p/s: I dare not let my son go near newborns as he is too rough!

hope new mommy can breastfeed baby longer, the other day read newspaper, baru said that breastffeding lower the risk on a lot dreadly virus attack, so…go, go, go…

I dare not to carry newborn now, because I so afraid, they so vulnerable, I really can’t remember and imagine how I carried two at a time then, God must had help me a lot then.
