"Wind" In My Stomach..:-(

Sob sob...i've been feeling unwell for the past 1 week after my 2nd Hep B jab. As i'm too young to differentiate, i don't know if it's due to the jab i took. But, mummy doubt so.

My belly button got swollen and my pediatrician said it is due to "wind" in my stomach. I was prescribed with a nice orange tasting medicine called 'Debridat'. Apparently, i feel much better and can keep my milk better. BUT, although i don't regurgitate that much after medication, i still feel uncomfortable at my belly button area. I've no choice but to wail in order to express my discomfort. This, of course has caused daddy, mummy and 奶奶 crazy. Just hope they can continue to be patient with me, till then i can only say sorry...

According to the internet, colic is "a term used to describe uncontrollable crying in an otherwise healthy baby. If your baby is younger than 5 months old and cries for more than three hours in a row on three or more days a week for at least three weeks (phew!), chances are he's colicky. Colic isn't a disease and won't cause your baby any long-term harm, but it's a tough thing to go through for both babies and their parents."

From traditional chinese medicine to western ones, mummy is trying all sorts (of course with due care) to help me pass through this terrible phase.

This is what they call "East meets West".


"Lao Heoi" (in hokkien) and the all time favourite "Ru yi you".

You name it, they tried it.
