Another bad day
After I went back to my mom's place in the afternoon, things were not so good. Reese refused to sleep and was whining and restless. After an hour or so of trying to get him to sleep, I decided to bath him. Then I discovered the horror! His butt's cheeks and surrounding area were all red and swollen. Nappy rash!!!! Gosh... no wonder he was crying ans whining so much. He was in pain!!
Apparently his loose stool has irritated the sensitive skin around the nappy area. Trying to clean that area hurts him so much. He cried so loudly and he was shaking. My poor baby. It breaks my heart every time I see him hurt.
As a mother, I felt terrible, felt that I did not do a good job of taking care of my son but I cannot be with him 24 hours a day! I have to work and it's hard to depend on your maid to care for your child with 100% dedication.
Anyway, last night we took him to another specialist and upon check up, found that one side of his ear is still red, since he got a bad experience with medication, doc advise not to put him on any medication and hope that his ear infection will clear up on its own. As long as he doesn't develop a fever, he should be fine.
Doc said to put him on lactose free milk for a week and to take probiotics to settle his bowel. Hope all these will make Reese better and be the happy baby again.
He had never cried so much in his entire 11 + months of age!! But luckily...hehee... his cries still lasted less than 10 minutes! :)
Oh, last night he slept well too. No waking up at all. I think after 3 restless nights, he has finally got a good sleep.
My little Reese.
