The Dilemma

1.Infantile colic and how to solve it

Since birth Harris had never been clad with 'barut' . for the past two days he has. and the difference is remarkable. he is now able to sleep soundly during day time. less crying, n less colic episode ( kembung as my mom called it). thanks to nenek ( maternal great grandma) who made them. now i believe :D

infantile colic is a benign condition though. it's a come and go thing like regurgitation. very common in neonate and usually will disappear by 3 to 4 months old.but having said that, it is still very irritating for babies and to see them in such state is no comfort for us parents either.

2.Regurgitation

Thank God my dear Harris has no major problem so far and i hope it d stay that way forever. I am quite worried about his frequent regurgitation though. at one point i thought it was already a laryngopharyngeal reflux as he experienced hoarseness of voice , and throat clearing episodes. luckily the hoarseness has gone but the throat clearing  is still there particularly in the morning. so far he has no problem thriving and feeds well, therefore leading me to believe it is not yet a disease.if any other mother i would have reassured them that it is not serious and will be self-limiting as babies grow older.but as it happens to me now ( even when i am a potential future paediatrician) , i totally understand why mothers can worry so much even on petty things when it comes to their children. kids... you guys are soo lovable.
