Yu-qi's jaundice level was quite high, 15.1mg/dl where she need to be put under phototherapy. (Same as me last time). Mummy was worried initially cause she is on total breastfeeding and if she has to be hospitalised, it will be quite troublesome for mummy to send down express breast milk to Thomson medical centre. Luckily there is this rental of Peb bed home where u can treat jaundied infants at home. It is not cheap, a rental of 3 days 2 night cost $417.30, but i think it is still cheaper than hospitalised. Initially, yu-qi was not used to it and she will cry when we put her in, but after a few hours of attempt, she is ok with it and we are happy that her jaundice level was down to 10.3mg/dl after 2 days of phototherapy!
