Kimi Went for his Hepatitis B Jab ~
Today, baby Kimi went for his Hepatitis B (2nd dose) jab. Hehe.. he shouted for a while when the jab shot into his leg, donno was it crying, but there were no tears in his eyes. I kept on telling him to be brave. Hope he is fine with the jab...
Kimi weighs 4.2kgs and length 54cm at one month old. See he is growing well, I also feel happy. The pediatrician informed me that, the next jabs will be when baby Kimi is 2 months' old. I will discuss with hubby and arrange a time to bring Kimi for the jabs again. Perhaps I will take the '5 in 1' jab as we gave Kimi a separate jab on Hepatitis B already. The pediatrician told me that the antibody production might not be so good if we choose to take the '6 in 1' jab. So, I listened to his advice. The nurse gave me some leaflets to bring back home and read... I will find out more information from there again ^_^

Kimi's Full Moon Celebrations
Dearest Kimi,
6th October - Today you are exactly one month old. How time flies… One month ago, I was still at hospital struggling to deliver you. This one month passed really fast. I really enjoyed the bonding time spent with you. Although breastfeeding you is real tiring, as you drink when you feel like drinking, no specific timing, so day and night, I need to wake up, sit up and down, just to feed you, even though sometimes I am having a rest or a short nap… But is ok Kimi, mummy knows, all these hard work are worth it. Mummy wants a healthy you!!
Mummy likes the time when I sing nursery rhymes to you to make you sleep. So far, I only managed to sing 2 rhymes for you. One is ‘Humpty Dumpty’ and the other one ‘My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean’. You seem so enjoying when mummy sings the songs to you and not long after that, you fall asleep already. Hehe... my small, little achievement so far. I promise, I will try to recall more nursery rhymes so that you can have more varieties in the future. Hehe… :)
We chose to celebrate your full moon on last Saturday as your daddy needed to work on your actual full moon day (which falls on a Tuesday). Last Saturday was the Mid-Autumn Festival as well. It was a good date. So we decided to choose this day for you. We had a small but warm celebration for you. You had your hair cutting ceremony, your bathing ceremony and also prayers at home. Confinement auntie cooked some food for us and some relatives which turned up on your full moon celebrations. It was already late afternoon when everything settled down. Mummy and daddy brought you to some shopping complexes to walk around (one of the traditions to do during the full moon celebrations) while your grandparents were busy giving out the ‘ang ku kuehs’ and ‘nasi kunyit’ to some relatives and friends. After we settled down you at home, we went to one nearby temple for prayers, to thank the God, for my smooth delivery…

Kimi's Jaundice Journey ~
During my early pregnancy, I have actually thought of breastfeed my baby. After attended the antenatal classes at Pantai Hospital and gathered some knowledge from there, the determination of breastfeeding grew stronger. I told myself, I wanna breastfeed baby Kimi for at least 2 months during my maternity leaves. That’s the least which I can do as a mummy for a newborn baby of mine.
Because of breastfeeding, I rejected all the usages of traditional methods or any other liquids (as suggested by the confinement auntie)that need to feed into Kimi’s mouth to reduce the jaundice level on Kimi. I believe, the jaundice developed in Kimi, should be from the breast milk which I have fed him.
Kimi has been in and out hospital for 4 times for the jaundice level’s tests at Columbia Asia Hospital Taiping. Doctor advice was only keep on feeding him with breast milk so that he can pee and poo more… This can indirectly reduce the jaundice in him. Although the jaundice level had not reached the dangerous zone, but he was re-hospitalized again for one night, a few days after he was back to Taiping, to be under the light therapy. I was in the hospital accompanied him so that I can feed him whenever he need. After the light therapy, the jaundice level was much reduced...
As his jaundice didn’t seem to go off (prolonged jaundice) although he was already 20 days’ old (by last Friday), so the pediatrician suggested to me, that I should give Kimi to do a blood and urine test to make sure that his jaundice is not causing any danger to him. I was quite worried then. Pity Kimi, before the doctor actually put the jab into his hands to take his blood sample, he seemed to be able to sense it and cried so loud till I think the outside waiting patients should be can hear his cries. Doctor took 2 small little bottles of his blood and also his urine sample. Results will be out in a week’s time.
So today, I went to hospital again to take Kimi’s Laboratory Report and for his follow-up check up. Luckily everything turns out fine and baby Kimi is healthy. The jaundice that he has is not causing any danger to him. It is breast milk jaundice. The pediatrician asks me no need to worry so much. It will go off when the time is ripe… Doctor keeps on telling me that Kimi is an active baby so no need to worry too much. Keep on breastfeed him will do.
Thank God! Luckily, my decision of fully breastfeed him is correct and he is growing day by day ^_^ Baby Kimi weighs 4kgs at Day 27 :)

Nurses' Visits at Taiping
During my stay at Pantai Hospital, everyday I was reminded by the nurses there. Once I get back to Taiping, remember to go and register myself and baby Kimi at the local ‘Klinik Kesihatan Ibu and Anak’ so that the nurses there will come and visit us. They will check on our conditions and see if baby is healthy. This is a free service provided by our government. Hehe… feel myself making used of the tax money which I have contributed to the government by fully utilized this service provided.
As the day I reached Taiping, it was already late evening, so hubby went to register for us on the next day morning. They are really very efficient. Not long after hubby registered, the nurses came to our house already. We were visited by the nurses from ‘Klinik Kesihatan Pokok Assam’. As baby Kimi was having some minor jaundice, so the nurse adviced us to go to the hospital for a check-up, which is better, so that we can know the jaundice level is it high for Kimi or not. They measured Kimi’s and my body temperature. Then checked on my blood pressure, my stomach and the wounds. The nurses came and visited us for check-up everyday until baby Kimi’s jaundice level gone down to the minimum. Seriously speaking, the nurses are very friendly and helpful… They taught me how to clean my wound correctly, showed care to baby Kimi, etc…
The nurse weighed Kimi at his Day 10 and Day 20.
Baby Kimi weighs 3.8kgs at his Day 20 :) I feel so happy that Kimi is growing well.
~ The nurse takes weight for Baby Kimi ~
Everything seems fine on our side and my wounds also getting better, so nurses stop visiting us after Kimi's Day 20. They gave us a date to visit the doctor after baby’s full moon for another check-up. But it is up to us whether wanna go or not…
Another government services provided which I would like to praise on ~~ For mummies-to-be after giving birth also can go and register for this service. Do make use of it, and you will realize yourself, how nice it is, being a Malaysian!!
