Breastfeeding Thrush

The reason why I had to go to an OB Gyne was because I was suffering from thrush.. my breast and down there.. I got it from Sati who’s experiencing oral thrush. And so to avoid the infection from being passed back and forth, treating Sati’s would mean I need to be treated too.

And so the OB suggest that I should stop breastfeeding while being treated.. er.. I guess that confirms it why that OB was so amused or shocked that I have four kids.. because she don’t have any yet. If she had, she would know that when you are purely breastfeeding, weaning your baby even for a day is SUPER DUPER HARD.

I should have just called my OB.. haayss. that OB is not my real OB, I just have no choice that time because I can’t go to my real OB.. haays…

Aside from telling me to stop breastfeeding, she also prescribed an ointment. I should have not waste the HMOs money for that stupid OB. I should have just read on…but since I am a mom who always make sure that what we get is the best there is, I just have to go for that check up.

At least I know now that it is not life threatening.

And now I learned that the best treatment for breastfeeding thrush is garlic.. yes. just crush some and rub it in your breast, specially the affected area. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes or until you can tolerate the pain then rinse it thoroughly with hot water and salt. Another thing is to let your nipples air dry every after breastfeeding.

OB Gynes Should Be Professional!

Dear OB Gynes (in General)

(but most specially to the one holding a clinic somewhere in Ortigas),

Now I won’t tell if the clinic is located in Ortigas Center or along Ortigas Avenue or any mall along Ortigas Avenue..

You know, it’s not very professional of you to say in a disgusted tone how many my kids are.. now excuse me..

Er, did I asked anything from you to feed my kid?

I know having a lot of kids can be unhealthy to my ovaries, but the hell you care?

Right? So why do you have to use that tone that as if having 4 kids is a sin? Or are you just turning green with envy?

And when you asked me how many kids I want.. I forgot to tell you that I want 12.. and you have no right to question that.

So Miss OBGYNE from Ortigas.. there would be no second time.. and to think that the hospital you are affiliated is one of the biggest (in terms of building and fee) in Ortigas but your mind and professionalism is so small.

a bit amused,
Pehpot

My World Class Babies

When I gave birth to my first son, our pedia gave him Celeen and Tiki Tiki as his multivitamins. How can I argue? I am a first time mom and for sure my pedia knows best when it comes to babies and vitamins. If I remembered it right, he even mentioned, “Celeen at Tiki Tiki gamitin mo, gawa ng UNILAB yan“.

And with my second child, what else will I choose but Celeen. Subok ko na yun eh. I have been using it for years. Now with my third and fourth baby, I still use Celeen and Tiki Tiki.

That’s their medicine box, compose of Ceelen for the big boys, Celeen drops for the princess. There’s Tiki Tiki star for the boys and Tiki Tiki Drops for the princess. And the newest addition to the family, GROWEE! (more to that later)

Celeen and Tiki Tiki, as mentioned by my Pedia, both comes from the pharmaceutical company that is known for its world class quality. As a mom, I have to make sure that my kids are getting the best there is, may it be on toys, clothes and most specially on health care. I cannot use a product that is not safe to use. In using UNILAB products, I am assured that my kids are well taken care of. Aside from it being safe, I knew that it is effective, Unilab eh.

My kid’s should have the world class care kaya naman I also use world class quality medicines for them. For sure most of you feels the same. As a mom, it is our role to make sure our family is getting the best. And when it comes to choosing health care products, will you trust your family to a company that is not tried and tested?

Unilab may not be a household name yet, but you will be amazed to learn that most of the medicine you trust comes from Unilab. You can check out their products on the UNILAB website, or check out your medicine cabinet and look for the Unilab seal:
