Life has never been the same with Bb Janelle around. After the initial check up at the PD, we were told that Janelle's jaundice level was a little too high. We were asked to go back for another blood test on Saturday. Test showed that her levels were down to 11 and we were asked to continue the phototherapy. However we did not even use that stupid bed. We just continued to sun her in the morning when its not so warm and feed her accordingly to pass out the excess bilrubin in her body.
The following blood test on Monday showed that her levels were down and we just need to monitor her skin colour ourselves. We heave a sign of relive upon hearing that.
Nowadays my life is just revolving around feeding her and ensuring that she will sleep. There are times in the day whereby she will just don't want to sleep. Her eyes will be opened wide open. I have tried to leave her in her bed after the confinement lady bath her. She will keep quiet a while but will cry after a while when nobody is attending to her. I tried not to pick her up when she just wimpering but her wimper will escalate into screams. She will scream her lungs out till there is no sound coming out from her. Upon seeing how hard she cries, I just simply ignore the fact that we wanted her to try to sleep on her own and pick her up. We will try to cox her to sleep by singing to her. When she is asleep in our arms and placed her in her cot, she will only sleep for about 15 to 30 mins before she starts wailing again. We tried to feed her more as she seems she is hungry as she is opening her mouth wide and looking for food but after feeding her she still refuses to sleep. I have also tried talking to her as she seems to listen and understand when we talk to her. But she still continue to wail. I just don't know what she wants.
This may carry on for the entire day. However she will sleep at night as she has exhausted her energy in the day and sometimes will refuse to wake up for her feed before the night is over.
But she is so fastinating to observe when she is sleeping. She has so many positions and poses.
I am a super baby position
I am so shy position.
Most of the times she is wrapped up in a cloth to allow her feel more secure (like in the womb) but will we unwrap her at times to allow her to get use to the enviroment.
