Day 5

I did not poo since Friday night and couldn't latch on Mom's breast very well, and had been very fussy. The hospital called mom at 11 am and mom told them that I had not have any bowel movement for more than 48 hours. We made an appointment to see the pediatrician and lactation consultant in the afternoon. The funny thing is once we had make an appointment. I poo. The amount was almost 6 x normal bowel movement per dad. We saw the lactation consultant at 2 pm. Dad and mom felt very upset when it was found that I was weighted only 6lbs 2 oz, a loss of almost 20%. Mom need to start feeding me every 2 hours. Then when we went to see the pediatrician, I was pretty "yellow" and the doctor sent us to the lab at once. On the way to lab, I knew mom and dad were so worry. I knew I need to behave well, so I did not cry at all when the lab techician drew blood from my feet. I surprised mom and dad as they were prepared for me to scream. The result of bilirubin level was 22, I had to admit to NICU (>20) for fluorescent light treatment. Mom was so worry that she cried when she talked to 婆婆. After all the paperwork was completed, they went back home for dinner. They came to visit me at 8 pm. I missed them so much that I was crying and screaming inside the box. My heartbeat was up to 150s, even dad started crying at that moment. The nurse finally asked dad is it okay to give me a pacifier? Dad said yes and it finally calm me down.
