My sister delivered a baby boy (Marcus) last Sunday. I actually wanted to visit her today but Marcus is now under phototheraphy for Jaundice in Mt Alvernia. Jerlene went through that previously as well. Wonder why nowadays so many babies got Jaundice, especially in Asia according to some reports. Not sure whether is it because of the diet of pregnant mother. One reason that the doctor told us previously is due to imcompatible blood group between mother and baby. In such cases, it is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding for a while. There is a cycle for Jaundice and it normally peaks at the 7th day after birth. Many old folks always asked the young parents to bring the baby out for sun tanning but this is not recommended. The sun ray can easily burn the baby's delicate skin. According to doctors, just place the baby near the window indoor will do. Marcus also has quite a lot of hairs although Jerlene has more..........
