hi, i can imagine the pain u feel when u see how your girl suffer, i experienced it when my DS was admitted for viral fever. it pains me to see him suffer morever as a healthcare worker i've always been doing those things to my patients but this time round seeing it happen to my son.
UTI is more commonly in girls as they have shorter urine tract, how old is your daughter? can give her more water to clear the urine n change her diaper more frequently n wash her groin area clean. follow ups r renal scans to check their kidneys. dun worry.. i'll b praying for your daughter's recovery.

Thanks. My girl 5 months old. they check the blood and says kidney is functioning well. ultrasound is to check the structure of the organs, something like that. sign. the doc advised us there's no need to give water below 6 mths but my mum think otherwise. i really don't know who to listen to sometimes.
about changing diapers, i did check with my mum since she's the one taking care of her and she says every 2 - 3 hrs she will change. i think it's quite all right.

hi, hope your girl will recover soon.
take good care of yourself too.
as parents, seeing our lil ones ill, we r sure to feel the heartpain, even if its just normal fever or flu.
i see no harm in giving your girl some water to clear the urine.
i hv been giving pin water since NB (day 2 in fact) n she is doing fine with it.
as long as the amt u give is not overtaking or affecting her milk intake, i dun see any prob with that.

hi milan, my niece had uti when she was a baby and we found out that one of the possible causes of uti is the incorrect washing of the genital area.
The proper way to clean the privates of your bb girl is to wipe from the vagina towards the anus so that the bacteria is wiped away from the uretha. Some pple, like my mum:nah:, wipe from the anus to the uretha, and this causes the bacteria from the anus to be deposited at the vagina area, and may lead to uti.
So you may wanna check with your mum the way she cleans up your girl? You may have to approach this gently with your mum cos your mum may think that you're blaming her. Cos my mum will get v defensive whenever i tell her not to use her method to wipe. She will insist that she is doing it the correct way, even though I was standing next to her all the while!

Hi Milan mummy... My heart goes to u and baby gal...
Giving water below 6months should not be a problem... I gave my gal water when she's still 3 days old... my pedae encouraged to give water as she's suffering from mild jaundice... should be ok to feed her water as long as not too much... take care and may your baby gal have a speedy recovery...

Hi Milan, wishing your little girl a speedy recovery. *hugs* She'll be fine and alright soon! I pray for her.
Dear mummies, thanks for your encouragement and support.
My girl's blood result is negative after 48 hrs and it's a blessing. now just hope that urine result is good too, supposed to be out today, but somehow delay. sign sign.
need an advice. she need to come back for ultrasound for follow up and it's scheduled on 8 Feb at KK. As we'll be flying back to taiwan on 11 Feb for CNY, it's just a few days before, so i tot of bringing her to see her own pediatrician at Mt A for a early schedule in case her report shows some prob (hopefully not) and can detect early for treatment. is it all right to do that? what is your advise?

the prob is my mum knows which is the correct way, but she will insist that she has used the correct way when actually she has used the wrong method. :nah:
