Abid's Prolonged Jaundice

Abid is now 6 weeks old. 2 weeks ago at the age of 1 month he was still jaundiced. The physiological jaundice that is common among newborns should actually clear up after 2 weeks. So because of that Abid's jaundice had to be investigated.

We had to go to Panda Unit, Hope Hospital and Abid was subjected to a battery of tests.

Poor Abid! /floor






Adding to the worries is that he was not gaining much weight (despite clinging on me every hour) and the growth chart showed that he already crossed the lower centile.

The provisional diagnosis is breastmilk jaundice (more serious causes of jaundice has been ruled out eg biliary atresia or hypothyroidism). So Dr Colin the pediatrician advised us to supplement Abid with formulas. Now on top of breastmilk Abid is getting 2-3 bottles of formula a day (tiba2 teringat kata2 Prof Adeeb HUKM- susu ibu untuk anak ibu, susu lembu untuk anak lembu) :P

Selingan matapelajaran agama tahun 4:
Jadi sekarang kencing Abid bukan lagi tergolong dalam kategori najis mukhaffafah.

bas...


same cam wildan... breastmilk jaundice... dah laa supply low... and then was told its the culprit...
was really hard to take...

anyway... if ure willing to try... i think the traditional way of bagi sikit susu kambing does work... but bagi sikit jer... like 1 ml ker? I didnt want to believe it at first... tapi Alhamdulillah, I think it worked like a charm for wildan..

hahaha...kepada kata-kata prof awak.

kesiannya abid. tapi kita heran le...kalau anak-anak kita, takleh je mkn jamu,oren etc. anak org lain boleh jer...selamba je kene kuning/cirit birit.

budak-budak nih tak bagi mak dia kurus

hope baby abid gts well soon. rayyan is also on a breast-formula combo, much to my distress. and you know what, the thought of his kencing status did have an influence but hey, as long as sihat kan.

take care, i'm done with my pantang! :)

qz: aku dulu pernah try bg susu kmbg kat adam tapi tak jln, so aku tak try pulak dgn abid ni

kakzarina: mmg susu ibu the best takde tandingan utk baby, breastmilk jaundice is the only drawback- sbb breastmilk ada chemicals yg rencat enzim yg berfungsi utk buang pigmen kuning kat hati baby

kell: status kencing does matter ehehehe..aku baru 3 hari abis pantang (tapi sebelum abis pantang dah berjln dah ke scotland- dasar x sedar diri)
