A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My maid and I spent our entire morning at the hospital today. First we brought Baby C to the Imaging Department for an ultrasound scan of her kidneys and urinary tract. While waiting for our turn, I quickly fed Baby C some freshly squeezed orange juice, cactus juice and probiotics which I’d put in a bottle. After the ultrasound…
We were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic today. The urine culture report for the urine culture done on Friday last week was out today. The bacteria this time is Klabsiella, which our doctor said comes from stools most of the time. Both our doctor and I were stumped that the bacteria has changed from E.Coli to Klabsiella in…
When we brought Baby C for an ultrasound scan 2 months ago, the radiologist saw something that looked like a Duplex system on Baby C’s right urinary tract system. From what I understand, a Duplex system means a double ureter. On Friday when we were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic, our doctor suggested another ultrasound…
Strawberries is one of the fruits that Baby C loves the most. It must be the strong fragrance and the sweetness. So I’ve now used strawberries as treats for her to eat with her daily antibiotics. I know strawberries should best be introduced to babies after 12 months to prevent allergies. What I did was first…
I sent Baby C’s pee to the hospital for another urine FEME and C&S test today. It’s the second urine test done in a week. The urine test has to be carried out this time to see if the bacteria is still in her urine, after being treated with a new oral antibiotics (Bactrim) for twice a…
After feeding Baby C with a new antibiotics yesterday, her pee doesn’t smell foul anymore today. She has also stopped purging and her labia is not red and sore anymore. Well, it’s actually not a new antibiotics for baby coz she had taken this antibiotics previously. For Baby C’s case, since she gets bacteria in her pee…
Baby C loves tofu and I am surprised that she does coz tofu is quite a bland tasting food and my 2 older gals don’t really like it. I normally just steam the tofu plain and scoop out a small portion for her. I am glad she loves tofu coz tofu is rich in calcium and…
It’s a monthly affair. I think Baby C has another UTI. The urine FEME test today showed that there are WBC (white blood cells) and RBC (red blood cells) in the urine, which suggest bacteria in the urine. Once the urine C&S report is out in 3 days’ time, we will know what bacteria is…
I bought these Heinz juices for Baby C but to my disappointment, she didn’t like them a wee bit. I guess she hated it because I fed the juice to her together with her antibiotics. Anything that goes with the meds I suppose wouldn’t taste good, right? I still have an unopened bottle. Next time…
When Baby C kept rejecting baby cereals, my mum cooked her some porridge. To our surprise, she loves porridge to bits. She has been eating homemade porridge for the past 2 weeks and I am really glad and relieved that I’ve found something that she really likes to eat. So what am I going to…
