yes, it will get engorged...

try holding the baby football style, which make the baby feel the same right side

noted. no. ny wife are able to breasfeed the other side ady.

on another note, my girl had caused my wife's nipple (both side) to bleed. is it safe to breastfeed then? coz my friend said it is not good for the baby to eat the blood...

ask your wife to put a few drops of breastmilk onto that crack nipple & give enough air to that area

hey thanks. had asked my wife to do so.
currenlt she is doing the expressing the milk manually. looks like hard labor...

baby is slightly jaundiced. I think maybe due to the heaty stuff that the confienment lady cooked for my wife, I hope it will not affect much coz she will have to take heaty food for a month.
tomorrow morning will bring my girl out for sunshine tomorrow. if it doesnt improve, I will have to bring her to see doc.:.

Feed ur baby more often, even if it means waking every 2 hourly during wee hours.. I did tat when my baby was jaundice during early days and it brought down her jaundice... She was only poked once, other visit to the park, outerior looks find her normal n no further blood test needed.... Thank goodness!

jaundice was too high till have to admit to hospital. but she had bee discharged although still have a bit of yellow. luckily no fever.

ya. i had told the confinemen lady to reduce the ginger at the moment also feeding my baby more ofthen now (suspect that she did not drink enough for the 1st two days).

will have to meet doc again tomorrow. hope she will get well soon! smile.gif
