Aaron - the first week

Aaron spent the first 3 nights home crying and feeding and totally depriving Mummy of any sleep. Thankfully, 4th night onwards, he started to sleep longer stretches, about 3-4 hours each time. It could be him settling into a routine (which is actually a bit too early), or his high jaundice level.

His jaundice level had gone from 230s to 268 on Tuesday. The polyclinic doctor was very unsure whether to send Aaron back to the hospital or not. So Daddy and Mummy decided that they better go back to KK to get better expert opinion. And doctor at KK children's emergency said jaundice admission is for 300 and above only. Tsk ... what a waste of time! But at least now we know for sure when to admit him.

The jaundice level only came down slightly on Friday. Hopefully, it'll drop to below 200 by Monday!

But aside from the jaundice, and the first few nights of non-stop crying and feeding, Aaron's been a pretty good, happy baby.
