Isaac gave us a scare last night when he tried incessantly for nearly an hour last night, and both Mum and I suspected it's coz of stomach wind. We tried all ways to pacify him - carrying him, feeding him, rubbing medicated oil on him, feeding him gripe water... everything failed! After all the failed attempts, we decided to bring him to see the doctor at NUH's Children's Emergency, just to play safe and to seek some remedy for his stomach wind.
Actually, we both know that it's the stomach wind that making him upset and it's normal... but my dad was anxious, Chee Meng was anxious and we were worried that he's crying for too long a period. Well, the best thing is... when we reached there, Isaac is already pacified. And when the doctor examined him, he smiled at her! I must commend the doctor at NUH's Children's Emergency - she was very thorough in her checking and though she said Isaac was okay, she asked that we stay in the hospital for about an hour in case he acts up again. So, after the consultation, i breastfed him and he fell asleep. Back to normal. My mum and i heaved a sign of relieve. And the whole consultation took less than an hour. We were lucky coz there was a long queue after we are done with the consultation. The doctor also prescribed some colic drops for Isaac just in case he is still irritable when we got home. And the little fella just fell asleep when we got home and things returned to normal. And this morning, he was wide awake playing by himself while i zonked out. He's at his best in the mornings, and he will greet you with his beautiful smile when he sees you.
Naughty little fella...
