First & foremost, a very Happy Belated 6th months to Baby Joshua.

He had diarrhoea on Monday(the eve of his 6th months). But he was not cranky or crying alot. After the 6th times, i brought him to a GP near my house. I brought him there as it was already quite late when i realised that his diarrhoea had not stop. Wrong decision!
I can't said that the GP is not experience at all. But i don't think that Pediatric is his skilled area. He was really quite rough with Baby Joshua. Firstly, he did not open up Baby Joshua diaper to check the diarrhoea. Then when he check his stomach, he press the stomach so hard. Luckily Baby Joshua did not cry. But i suppose it is not comfortable at all. After the examine, just gave the prescription and did not give much information. I have to ask. According to him, the medicine will take effect only after 2 days. So i just let it be.


When i feed him the medicine, he did not like it all. It was salty and bitter. How did i know? I tried it. He was crying and spitting out most of the medicine feed to him. Poor boy. Really feel like crying when i see him like that. I have no choice but to force the medicine into his mouth. Crying all the way.

He turned 6th months on Tuesday. Unfortunately, his stomach was still not feeling so good. And his nappy rash got worse. He was cranky and crying alot. Whenever i tried to clean him up after he shit, he will tried to tolerate the pain. When he could no longer take it, he will cry. Really cry. I never seen him cry like that before. I felt heartpain when i see him like that. I will tried to air him and use water instead of wipes to clean him. It did not get any better. He still had the run about 6 - 7 times. He did not get any better even after he took the medicine.
Then my mum scolded me. She said i am not a good mum. I cry secretly. I really did my best into it. Luckily Daddy very supportive. He said that i did a good job in taking care of Baby Joshua.
Daddy was not able to take leave. Luckily Ah Yee had lesson in the afternoon so she could accompany me to the Clinc.

On Wednesday, the diarr had not stop. And nappy rash getting worser. Sigh! I woke up very early at 8 am to prepare and by 9 am i was already ready. When i reach the clinic, i had to wait 5hrs for my turn. The clinc is forever so packed. But the wait was worthwhile. The Dr was gentle and patience. And she go through his symptoms really slowly and paitently. When i feed him the medicine at home, he ate it without protesting. And even though the cleaning of his nappy rash is troublesome, i conquer it all.

Today is Sunday. His rash is all gone and although he still under medication. He feeling so much better already. In conclusion, i should always chose a Pediatric if i want to bring Baby Joshua to see doctor.
