Don't worry Gem, how high is the bilirubin level? My baby's bilirubin was also high, about 11.7 (I think >10 cannot be discharged), so I decided to stay in the hospital with her so that I can breastfeed her. Hopefully tmr your bb's bilirubin will go down, then she can be discharged :)

Thanks all for the concern. Baby is back home today! =)
Tml gotta bring her to the polyclinic for jaundice test and also make appts for her injections.
Last night when I'm home, keep tearing coz bb can't discharge tgt although I know she's in good hand and knowing jaundice isn't really serious.
But separating us is terrible. Today, really got a hard time changing her nappy. She pee and poo quite often. Haha! But I'm happy doing all these work. Lol!

Congrats to all mummies that just delivered! =) we are a group of very fortunate people around as it's CNY season, double happiness and joy!
May all mums gain our health back and speedy recovery. May all babies 快高长大，健健康康!

It's a good sign that she pee and poo, especially pee so that the bilirubin can be removed from the body. Try to get much rest as you can and get people to help out with the baby while you are recovering from your c-sect.
Luckily I have a CL and a very supportive husband to help me even though they also scold me (esp hubby) cos i always 'run' around doing this and that. :)

Morning Madako,

How is your baby doing? Seems like it's pretty common for newborns to have jaundice, mine too. Even though I know this is normal, i also felt very sad and cried when she couldn't be discharged and decided to stay with her for 1 day more. I heard if you keep breastfeeding him, it may help to clear his jaundice fast. Give it a try

Thanks alot. We are quite lucky.
The doc has assessed his jaundice. It was 11.2.
If anything more than 13, then we will not be able to go home together.
So we were discharged yest noon... And now at home resting...
My boy wokes up at 2am and refuse to sleep till 530am yest night....
My CL and me took turns to carry him, he refuses to be left in the cot during that time too.
Scary maan...

sorry, forgot to ask. for mummies who went through c-sect, do you find your menses not a lot? after 2 weeks, the amount is getting lesser and lesser. When does your menses stop completely?

My baby also found with jaundice on the last day of discharge.
The SB lvl was 11, but he was discharged with me...
Last sat, I went back for the review. the SB is now 13.1, but still need to monitor.
Dun worry, give them more sun bath and if possible, stay away from bm too (if possible), more formula to keep the jaundice away.
Let them drink more and be less sleepy. Now me keeping my bm aside in fridge (trying not to feed him BM for this week)
Watch out on the eyes n tongue, they will be less yellowish as the situation improves.

I ever heard of SB as high as 200+ (from my CL, so serious that the baby has to be admitted and under close monitoring...)
Let's work hard to fight the jaundice.
