I Am Sick Again!

KK Triage instructed us to sponge her due to the high fever

So sad, it's terrible to be sick. Sob ~

When will i get well? Sob ~

It's the third time in 2 months, and happens after i stopped breastfeeding. So i'm wondering if a baby's immunity will drop so drastically after being weaned :(

This time it was really really bad. Baby had high fever averaging 39 degrees for 3 days. I had to keep sponging her through the night to prevent her from over-heating. There were no other symptoms and the doctor confirmed she didn't have urinary tract infection. We deduced it could be some viral infection. Poor girl ~~~~ poor mom too .... turning panda ~~~

It's always a big worry for us when baby falls sick. She's not too meaty to begin with, and each time she is ill she loses weight within days which she had so hardly gained in the past months.

One good habit we developed out of this calamity was drinking water. Due to the fever, we were constantly feeding baby water, and even after she recovered we continued with this practice. Initially, baby didn't like to drink, but it's been about 2 weeks now and baby has taken to the habit of drinking every hour or so.

Her appetite has regained since then and we're up on the arduous task of fattening her up again :)
