Jaundice is not due to soy. It's common among Asians. Usually lots of breastfeeding will help baby pass out yellowish poo poo and the jaundice will go away after some weeks.
Read my article on jaundice at:

Wow thanks for info.. I heard it's from soy from those older generation ppl but din fully trust too.. My son's jaundice went off within a week from born,the doctor juz told us it's quite common so don't need worry..I was too tired back then to go do research on it since my son was recovered.. =p

What my family doctor told me is once I feel ok can stop my medicine. I dun dare go see TCM cuz I dun like the bitterness of Chinese medicine.. My mom's colleague who is a TCM sensei oso tell me those supplements will make me heaty,Muz drink more water n when sick dun take 1st. Another thing is Chinese herbs medicine n western vitamins supplements may crash so cannot eat together..

hi mummies,
Talking about sleep,
do we need to follow a certain positions when we slp??
I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and I used to b a back slper but read from somewhere that it is not gd for the baby. Thus, I
switched to side slpin but been experiencing certain strains on neck for the past few nights..
=(
thx

Hi Maneo0302, Maybe can ask ur gynae on ur next visit abt it,mine was like on n off al e way thru out my 1st pregnancy,duno y oso.. Maybe cuz I can't stop drinkin cold drinks, I juz can't drench my thirst with warm or hot drinks..
Hi sparklingstars, I'm a side sleeper,tend to toss n turn during my sleep, I have shoulder cramp or stiff neck problem at times when I wake up since pregnancy too.. Sleeping on my back full straight position only made me wake up with full body cramp n ache,I feel my tummy will cramp oso..If I was in e same sleeping position for too long,I will even have numbness on my arm til I wake up automatically..plus since now we tend to be much more light sleeper than b4 pregnancy,I usually will toss n turn more once I feel abit numb here or there..

Indeed, back-sleeping is not recommended during pregnancy. Sleeping on left side more is beneficial. Read details at What's the best sleep position during pregnancy? | BabyCenter
The problem for neck ache could be insufficient support from your pillow. Is it too soft?
Personally, I use Tempur contoured pillow which gives my neck very good support. You may shop around for such pillows.

After I get back to sleep,will have all that weird dreams,feel like I'm in 1/2 sleep 1/2 awake. Wake up in e morning having sore n aching body tat wil last 1-2hrs.. I totally cant back to sleep in e morning n afternoon,only til after evening then might dozed off for 5-30mins.. Been repeating this same routine since 3weeks ago I think..
I'm so tired everyday, is there any better solution to my sleeping problem?never been so worse during my 1st pregnancy.. =<

Nowadays, I have difficulty falling asleep too. Hope this wont get worse. Only in my 2nd tri.
I can't seem to slp at all! Having insomia like every night.
Usually end up sleeping after trying for 3 hours. And it doesn't help that i'm a night owl.
No sleeping position seems to be comfortable. I have like 4 pillows and 2 bolsters.
And I seem to have a hot & cold problem. The temperature is never right!
I miss the 1st tri, where I could fall aslp in 10 mins, anytime and almost anywhere!
And the constant waking up to pee is OMG! Falling back to slp after pee feels like mission impossible.
Plus the fact that I'm starting to get leg cramps. And feeling more and more like a dumpling as days goes by doesn't help at all!
I'm also starting to itch ESP ard the belly button!
I seriously feel that 2nd tri is a nightmare!

Hi Tiggee...you're not alone. I can't fall asleep fast at night. Usually i fall asleep around 2am, though i try to sleep at 11pm. Then my alam goes off at 6am and I have to wake up for work. Tiring ah!
I have this hot and cold problem too. And sneezing and coughing in the middle of my sleep. Jerking me up!
I dont miss my first tri, as i have serious frequent toilet problems and stomach cramps plus breast pain. Now I don't have stomach cramps and my breasts are not swollen anymore. Back to small size.
The itchness have decreased from 1st to 2nd tri. I try using johnson baby oil instead of the usual stretch mark cream.
Other than MS all my other problems from 1st tri has stayed. I only seem to be adding on to the list during 2nd tri.
