We were in the baby room, The Curve awaiting for her turn to breastfeed. Since the cubicle has fully occupied, i was looking for something to make Sophie distracted. Like any other baby, she was amazed by the reflection might be thinking how cute the person in the mirror was.. hahaha

She's in pain...
Sophie with her bandage and her cute little uniform :)
When she was only a few days to 1, Sophie had these severe vomiting and diarrhea. For a first time parent, looked at her suffering for vomiting and poops more than usual made I cry. I was not sure at first if whether she had diarrhea or something wrong with she ate that day. She started vomiting and frequently poops till on that one evening and we were rushing to Prince Court the first in the Saturday morning when she had fever. Till then, I know there might be something wrong with her diet and we were not sure if it was caused from her nursery or from what we gave her last night. She has got her treatment from Dr. Anthony, the pediatrician which he suggested Sophie to be warded if we couldn’t be sure that we could monitor her by ourselves. Of course we wanted her to be monitored by specialist, so warded she was.
no beautiful smile as always as she still in pain
Sophie was getting worse. When Dr. Anthony given her injection and put the tube in her cute little hand she was crying out loud, the first time I saw her in most pain. I never saw her in that condition, I was crying and even the most unflappable parents like her dad would also seems sad and miserable looking at how suffered she was. The tube was to get the fluids coming in her body since she was dehydrated and Dr. Anthony told us it can be serious even fatal, in a baby. She has to have plenty of waters.
What caused diarrhea? I hope it was not come from us and most probably she got it from her nursery. Dr. Anthony said our baby's diarrhea could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It might also be the result of a parasite, a course of antibiotics, or something she ate. Some bacterial infections clear up on their own, however some bacteria like the E. coli can be found in undercooked meat and other food sources and it can be very serious. It can also be caused by food poisoning, but thank God she has not had any trouble in breathing. Her pediatrician also said it could be worse if I was not continuing gave her breastfeeding which Sophie also did not refused to have it.
We have stayed for 2 nights and with the medication given, alhamdulillah she was getting better. Her stool was not as it used to be, no more watery and loose. She even can give us her beautiful smile in the next morning. We couldn’t bear to see her suffered from the pain the last 2 days. I hope it won’t happen again which those experiences gave us more lessons for us for not letting our child easily eat something she’s no used to. Sophie was also gets friendly with the nurses but she still scared when she saw Dr. Anthony, I think she still had this ‘hard feeling’ when she remembered how ‘cruel’ her pediatrician was when he put the tube inside her hands. By the way, it was our first time stayed in PCMC and to look at the level of standard of this Hospital, I would say it was the best. The treatment, the hospitability and the staff nurses, was amazing and we satisfied with the services. However we still went to Pantai Medical to see Dr. Azam, just when we couldn’t get Dr. Anthony and still we want to reconsider either these 2 hospital for me giving birth for our 2nd baby.. which I couldn’t figure it out when the best time is…aaahaaaa..
