Paranoid


I was always paranoid when my baby wasn’t doing well. My friends are like my guide book. After few days discharged from the hospital, we noticed his urine contained pinkish discharge and his eyes contained white discharge. We were so worried and sent him to pediatrician. The PD said the pink discharge was ONLY body salt and it was no harm. It happened because he was dehydrated. Besides that, his reading for jaundice was at the border line and advised us to take him out under the sun. Doctor just gave him eye drops for his infected eyes and asked us to feed him more water.

My mother-in-law fed him lots of water using spoon although according to lactation consultant, breastfeeding baby doesn’t require water. After a week with the eye drops, his eyes didn’t recover fully. My husband secretly used tea bag to rub his eyes. Miracle, his eyes recovered within days. He scolded me of not listening to old people advice. After a week under the sun, my son has turned into an Indian Boy with v tan skin.
