關於 phototherapy for jaundice ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

After one night of being in the observation ward when my waterbag burst, one night under special care for being born prematurely, two nights of rooming in with me and one night of phototherapy due to high jaundice levels, we are finally going home today! Yippee! 我们回家了!

Oh yeah, this took a little longer than expected but all we want is for the baby to be healthy and safe from now. We will need to take him for a checkup on Monday to determine his jaundice level and see if we need to admit again (I sure hope not), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now while we settle into our new routine at home with all four kids.

Thanks to everyone for all your encouragement and well wishes throughout this roller coaster week. It's been such a ride and I can't wait to share his birth story with you soon. Happy weekend, people!

Video - Hang in there twinnies

Both twins were diagnosed with jaundice today .
The levels were high 210 .
They are now under intense phototherapy at the nursery .
Lets hope its just physiological jaundice.

Jaundice or yellowish discoloration of the skin can occur as early as 48 hours after birth which may last for a week or two .
It happens because of the breakdown of Red Blood
Cells and liver immaturity.
Babies will be dehydrated, lethargic and sleeps most of the time . Its important to hydrate them , continue breastfeeding if possible and exposure to morning sunlight or phototherapy .
Daily blood test is necessary to see whether its increasing or decreasing trend .
That means daily pricks on the skin -
kesian pulak .. and I'm feeling the pain each time.

Hang in there buddies .
Daddy is always there by your bedside .
InsyaAllah things will get better ...

Good Morning Everyone
Love As Always

Iman Daniella and her living doll Ilon Daniel.

Though lactation counsellors do not recommend to breast pump at the initial stage, due to Ilon and my hospital admission 2 weeks ago, I was advised to breast pump my milk so I could get some proper rest at night (for my high blood pressure) and the nurses can feed Ilon while he was getting his phototherapy treatment done at the NICU (to address his jaundice).

When we returned home the next day, I continued my prenatal ritual with Tanamera and because I didn’t want to be distracted during my warming massage, I had pumped some milk so Ilon could be fed in between my 3 hour treatment.

Azmi took this picture of Kakak gleefully taking the opportunity to bottle feed her brother. Not sure who is more happier in this picture - daughter or son?

This is the Pigeon Bottle using the SoftTouch™️ Peristaltic PLUS Nipple - 100% silicone , super soft and flexible to allow for natural and smooth tongue movement.

I was worried about nipple confusion , but I read that this is an ideal nursing bottle for mothers who wants to continue breastfeeding as the design of the nipple imitates a baby’s peristaltic tongue movement used while nursing on their mother’s breasts.

Oh Iman child. You really are such a loving Kakak.

You can buy this bottle from Parkson,Aeon, Isetan, Manjaku, Lazada and Shopee.
