A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Baby C gave me a heart-stopping moment today when she fell backward and hit the back of her head on the cold hard terrazzo floor in the living room. She was crawling on the floor and then pulled herself up to a standing position by holding on to the sofa. Minutes later, she fell backwards…
Baby C was purging for the past 2 days and yesterday, my heart sank when I smelled her soiled diaper at around noon. It smelled foul a little. So for the rest of yesterday, I kept feeding her with plain water, barley water and my milkie in the hope that she would pee more coz our doctors told…
Hubby was informed by his pharmacist friend that one of the best brands of probiotics in the market is Prolactor. Prolactor has 10 billion CFU (colony forming units) of good bacteria. Most other brands of probiotics only have 5 billion CFU of good bacteria. The packaging for Prolactor is pretty impressive. It is packed in…
continuation from here. I called our pediatric nephrologist this morning. The urine culture test shows that there is very scanty growth of bacteria in the urine. Our dr. said that the amount is so insignificant that it is not considered a UTI. That’s why the initial urine FEME test done on Monday showed that there…
I called our nephrologist today. The initial urine FEME test shows that there are no WBC (white blood cells) and no bacteria in the urine. There are however 2 RBC (red blood cells) in the urine…. which means that there could be an infection in the urinary tract or kidney. Our doctor said to wait for…

I mentioned earlier that I will blog about Baby C’s daily feeding schedule. Well here goes : My day with Baby C starts at around 8-8:30am. When Baby C wakes up, I will feed her 2.5ml of Bio-Strath, mixed with apple and cranberry juice. I used to give her organic pure Cranberry juice but it’s so terribly sour that…
Today was our second consultation with the pediatric surgeon. We showed him the urine culture report dated 3rd October, the test of which was done at a hospital nearer to our house. Looking at the report, which states that there is a scanty growth of E Coli bacteria and a WBC (white blood cells) of…
Though I have 3 kids, it was only after I had Baby C that I found out that when a baby hiccups, this means that a poo poo is bound to follow suit. It was my confinement lady who told me this. I didn’t believe her but now, I swear by this cue. Each time…
The report for the urine culture done on Friday was out on Monday. The WBC (white blood cells) have come down from 10-15 to 2-4. Also, the Klabsiella bacteria is no longer in the urine… praise the Lord! But there is still a scanty growth of E Coli bacteria in the urine… which both our nephrologist and pediatric…
