Ya, consultation already $60 and with medicines, sure hit $100 easily.

I visit Kinderclinic cos so far this is the only one that has night clinic now. The ones I usually see at Pediatic clinic over at TMC has moved to Novena and no longer opens at night.

She is on nebulizer now...sigh..hopefully it will help her clear once and for all.

Hope all the babies get well soon !!!

My boy just recovered from fever, runny nose and husky voice after a week. Fortunately no cough! We blogged about it at Busy Mummy |

Blocked and runny nose made him very uncomfortable and cranky. On the worst night, my hubby and I took turns to carry him upright to sleep on our shoulders. Guess his immunity is rather strong due to 100% breastmilk, so he got well fast.

I hardly took orange since breastfeeding since it could be an allergen for babies. Orange and citrus foods can only be fed to babies when they are much older, at least 12-18 months old.

Chicken meat and eggs could prolong coughs too.

May all the babies stay strong and healthy through the year!

Hi all,

last year my gal also hving a very bad cough and phlegm. I brought her to Dr. Teoh at Mt E. After 3 visits my gal recover completely (1st visit, the medicine taste yucks, after 2 days went back request to change medicine).

during the 3rd visit, he told me after this round of medication, dont need to come back. It really come true.

wah wat medicine issit.? so good uh?

Yes there is such medication which will loosen phlegm so that baby can cough it out. The one that I am using from my pediatrician is called Solmux. When baby swallow the phlegm, the poo poo will tend to be sticky.

If she was prescribed antibiotics, some antibiotcs do cause diarrhea like symptoms in babies.

When my boy had very bad blocked nose that time, I fed him through a dropper.

edlycia poopoo are not so watery that type.. dc didnt give antibiotics leh.. hmmm... anyway wat is a dropper? hehe

oh oh.. i drink orange juice every night and eat chicken and eggs while breastfeeding.. In short, i ate almost everything n still breastfeed.. am i doin it wrongly?? shld i stop breastfeedin??

A dropper is like a syringe. Instead of sucking the milk by pulling the syringe, using a dropper, you just press the top to create suction. You can buy it from Isetan or Kiddy Palace for abt $4.

But do be careful while using it as baby can choke on the fast flow of milk. Regulate the dripping into baby's mouth.

camom & apollo, ya i think she got difficulties breathing therefore she fed up want to drink milk.. i was given e nose drop & e suck suck thing to suck out e mucus.. but its seem like it really inside cos i suck nothing come out and edlycia breathing still sound like blocked nose.. will call my pediatrician to check..

anyway is ther such a thing like e medicine will cause baby to cough more so that they will swollow their phlem and come out with her poopoo?? cos suddenly edlycia having like not so watery poo poo after taking e medicine and also she cough more badly after..

Have, see the doc. I think it's usually a combination of med to open the bb's airway (some wheezing med) and Salbutamol (Sp?) to pass out the phlegm in the bowels since bb can't cough it out.

Keep breastfeeding; that's the BEST immunity booster. Just plan your diet properly. E.g. drink starfruit juice instead of orange juice? Still lots of Vit C.

When baby's coughing, eat more fish instead of chicken & eggs? Some chicken meat and eggs should be fine; just not make it the bulk of your diet at this time.

I'm a vegetarian and can still plan my diet to breastfeed sufficiently for almost one year. Am sure most other Mums can do that too.

A vegetarian diet is healthy only if well-planned. I eat meals with fresh ingredients instead of mock meat. Typical meals:

Breakfast:
- organic oat (1 bowl)
- 2 pieces of wholemeal bread
- organic cheese or 1 glass of milk
- 1 fruit

Lunch:
- brown / red rice (1 big bowl)
- vegetables
- peas / beans / eggs / mushrooms
- soup
- 1/2 fruit (shared with baby)

Snack:
- oatmilk or soy milk
- wholemeal bread / biscuits
- supplements (multivitamin, Calcium which is important for breastfeeding mothers, DHA made from algae since I don't eat fish)

Dinner:
- brown / red rice (1 big bowl)
- vegetables
- peas / beans
- soup
- fruits

Drink lots of water / fluids throughout the day
In the early months, I even ate biscuits in the middle of the night after breastfeeding because I was hungry.
I avoided black beans and black bean soup because my post-natal nurse told me it could affect milk supply.

I ate much more than pre-pregnancy days due to my boy's large appetite. With breastfeeding, I didn't gain any weight.

It is fine for breasts to feel soft; it means that there is no engorgement or blocked ducts which can be very painful. Clearing breasts at every feed means that milk would be replenished by the body again.

Somehow, when my boy suckles, the milk would be made to meet his demand exactly. Nature seems perfect!
