Feeding Baby C Medicine
This post is specially written for Baby C, in the hope that when she’s old enough to understand and read this, she will know what she and mummy had gone through to deal with the kidney reflux that she’s suffering from. Cassandra, as mummy is typing this now, mummy is hoping that very soon, you…

When Do You Start Feeding Your Baby Solids?
I am still undecided when to start feeding Baby C solids. With Alycia, I started feeding her porridge at 6 months and Sherilyn, around 7-8 months. I am thinking of delaying feeding Baby C solids until she’s at least 8 months or even longer. Here are some excerpts from kellymom.com (an exclusive site for breastfeeding…
Breast Is The Best
It’s been 2 weeks since Sherilyn’s chicken pox attack and Baby C hasn’t been bitten by the CP virus yet and I think I can safely say that she has passed the contagious period and will be spared from getting CP, well at least for now, for as long as she’s drinking my milkie. That’s one of the…

Alycia And Baby C
I had prohibited Alycia from getting near or touching Baby C for more than a week as she had a runny nose and a bad throat. She got better 2 days ago and the ‘restriction order’ was lifted. She was so glad and could not help touching her baby sister. When I wasn’t looking, she even…
Update On Cassandra’s Kidney Reflux
We brought Baby C to HUKM to see the nephrologist today. An ultrasound scan was also performed on her kidneys. The right kidney is still moderately dilated and the left kidney is fine. She has a grade 3 Kidney Reflux, thus the reason the right kidney is dilated. The nephrologist said that if she has…
Daddy And Baby C
Check out daddy with Cassandra here. Though daddy is seldom at home, when he’s home, thank God Baby C still recognizes him and loves being with him. Baby C has been really clingy the past several days. She only wants to be carried whenever she’s awake and does not want to be left alone on her…
Bouncing No More
Baby C can no longer sit on the bouncinet during the day whenever she’s awake. Each time she’s placed on the bouncinet, she will turn to her side and then tries to flip over. She almost fell off the bouncinet here while trying to flip over. That was 3 days ago. I now place her on…
Expelling Phlegm
Poor Baby C has a huge built-up amount of phlegm stuck in her throat. Her cough sounds chesty and ‘phlegmy’. Each time she coughs, she will cry as the phelgm will be stuck in her throat and irritating her, to the point of making her puke. Yesterday, my mil put Baby C on her tummy on…
Sherilyn Has Chicken Pox And Baby C Got Bitten By The Cold Bug
I think I can confirm that Sherilyn has chicken pox as she had fever last night, with a temperature of 38 degrees Celcius. However, she was and is still very active and is still yakking and singing away non-stop. I think her Chicken Pox is only a mild attack as she had her Chicken Pox jab taken when…
Cassandra Finally Pooed But…
it wasn’t ‘explosive’, considering she hadn’t pooed for 3 days and she pooed at around 8pm yesterday. When I saw her poop in her diaper, it was the most pleasing sight for me in the longest time. I cheered and clapped and my 2 older gals followed suit. Everyone was so happy that our little darling had…
Still No Sign Of Pooping
Baby C Can’t Poo
for 2 days already and I am worried sick coz my baby has always been a good ‘pooper’ since birth and has never had problems with emptying her bowels. I hope the built up poop inside her body will not aggravate her kidney reflux and cause another UTI. If she still can’t poo poo by tomorrow,…
Baby C Has Kidney Reflux
The MCUG test went smoothly today. We reached Hospital UKM at around 9am and went to the pediatric daycare ward for the catheter to be inserted into her urethra. When the doctor arrived, I carried Baby C into the procedures room and I was told to leave the room. I really hate it that I…
