Baby Care-My baby is sick

Most mums feel worry when the baby sick, so do I. Three times already in 3 months and 12 days.

The first was diarrhea; he was poo right after being fed, so poor. He looked completely ok, he still smile and active. Not the mum…..Huhuhuhu My tips for mums are make sure everything sterilized before use, especially if the baby drinks from the bottle. Washing hands after changing his diapers also important. Encourage to whoever wants to touch your baby to wash their hands first by giving example by yourself.

The next is fever….this is absolutely my fault, I go to my office bringing him with me without facility in my office, the nanny just carried him until he fell asleep, but he didn’t really sleep actually. In my spare day, I brought him with me everywhere I go. The last was we went to Christmas Eve service until 9pm. I didn’t listen to my cousin’s advice not to bring the baby out to often before 6 months.

It happened in the middle at night, he couldn’t really sleep, just rolled right or left. I thought he was thirsty so I woke him up, when I carry him, his body was hot and he started crying so loud. I was panic!!!! I measured his body temp. It was 38.4 Celsius. I changed him with thin clothes and short. I took a bowl of water and towel to be put on his forehead. I fed him with milk more often, so he’ll pee and the hot gone. I also gave him aspirin drops for baby. My tips for mums, don’t be as panic as I was, panic just made everything went slower to do because you just confuse. Doing what I did above so helpful. Don’t put blanket over his body. Try to make him sleep so his body can be refreshed. If the body temp. not going down, don’t take any risk just go to the doctor.

Now he got cold! It’s not funny to see a baby with runny nose. He couldn’t even blow his nose. I just make him sleep. Because the prescription for cold is eat a lot and sleep all the time! I just bought Chinese medicine…haven’t tried this, hopefully it does help. I just don’t like my baby eat a lot of chemical things. My tips for mums are stay everybody who got flu away from your baby. Try not to touch your baby. Cover their mouth with disposal face mask.

My baby girl (4 months old) has been out and about since she was just less than 40 days. Every week, once or twice, we bring her out to the malls, restaurants, church, etc.. even in the evening and rainy days.
Thankfully the baby hasn't been ill until now.

Yes, you are right, moms get panicked easily, and it won't the baby any good.

good luck caring your baby
