Yesterday, after service, Thaleia's stomach acted up again.She had loose stools for 4 times after that. Her bum turned as red as that of a baboon's (I'm not joking..it's the same type of RED). Cried at the top of her lungs, refused to be carried in an upright position again..David and I took turns to cradle her through the night. We still fed her usual formula milk which we realised, the next morning, that it was the wrong move.
Thaleia's PD (Paeditrician) said she has an infection in her stomach. Having formula milk with lactose would only aggravate the stomach which does not process the milk well when such infection is present. He also explained the redness....all I hear is no milk with lactose, no fruits, no vegetables, no fibre for Thaleia for the next one week. I spent the whole morning waiting for our turn to see the PD. Thank God for Anna who helped and came along.
When I went to NTUC to grab a bottle of soy-based formula milk powder, there was a card at the top of the milk tin which says something like, "It's 2am. Your baby is having diahorrea..what do you do?" I never knew we should keep a bottle of soy-based milk powder as emergency. Another lesson learnt for the day.
