Our baby has some jaundice. After 3 days of photo therapy at the maternity center, the level dropped from 13 mg/dL to 11+ mg/dL. So every morning, I’ll bring baby out for 10 to 20 minutes of sun exposure. He usually sleeps at that time.
Here are some of his photos early in the morning.
Baby’s second night was slightly less tiring for us. Maybe we’ve get used to waking up several times at night. As usual, baby cried a few times for milk. My wife fed him with breast milk. And since I don’t have any breast milk, I fed baby with cow’s milk.
We chose Enfalac A+ for our baby for no reason at all. On the day my wife gave birth, the nurse ask us which infant formula to give baby.
Yesterday was baby’s second day at home. In the afternoon, he slept a lot after having infant formula. My wife had very little breast milk because she didn’t sleep well the night before. She was really tired.
When baby was sleeping, the surrounding people and noise didn’t bother him much. He just sleep and sleep and sleep…
At last, our baby came home! Home sweet home…
Our baby has stayed for 8 days at the maternity center. For the first 7 days, we waited for his infection test result. For the last day, we waited for his photo therapy. Finally, baby could come home 
We reached home yesterday at around 6pm. Then we gave him about 50ml of breast milk my wife pumped that morning and the day before. Soon baby fell asleep…
This morning I called the maternity center to ask about our baby’s test result. If Streptococcus B infection is positive, baby has to get more antibiotic jabs. If the result is negative, baby can go home after finishing his photo therapy.
The nurse picked up the phone and told me, “Your baby has bacteria infection. Doctor will explain in detail to you.”
This didn’t sound good. Why our baby couldn’t come home smoothly? I told my wife about this. And she looked disappointed too.
This is a busy Chinese New Year for me. I drove back and forth Batu Pahat town and Kluang town every day for 4 days. We live in Kluang town and we have chosen Dr Lim from Kelinik Rakyat Maternity Center, Batu Pahat.
My wife is okay and went back home on Wednesday. But our baby is still at the maternity center. He has to receive two antibiotic jabs every day. Poor baby… 
In my small hometown Kluang, Gunung Lambak (Mountain Lambak) is our only recreational area. Local folks come over here to climb this hill for exercise. They also enjoy its fresh air and nice scenery. Once a while, wild monkey and squirrel can be seen too.
So let’s begin our journey. Here we come, Gunung Lambak!
