1st week in SCN~

Haha. i am back in KL again! but only for the weekends nia.
After that got to get back and deal with a new setting. this time is gonna deal with kids.. hmmm i dunno whether can handle them or not le?

Oh well let's get back to where i been to in this week!
SCN special care newborns.
newborns are everywhere.
There are three rooms for newborns.
1st incubator babies which is jus born.
2nd room, the most stable babies.
3rd room, phototherapy room for jaundice babies.

This is the first time i handle babies. the last time i guess is when i was still very young holding my sisters... hmm doesn't consider know how to handle cos i am a big baby at that time too.
Babies is actually very easy to take care. because they only had a few concerns. COLD, HUNGRY, POOPOO, PAIN, DISCOMFORT And the only way to tell us adults are to cry!

It is annoying in the sense that every baby had different type or should i say different sound of cry. Some have High pitch especially preterm babies and it is very irritating to the ear u know and when they really cry very hard it is very painful to hear.
Only one baby gave a cry that i from the day i live until now i think it is a normal baby cry. maybe because she is older.

Today a lot of baby cry. First of all because they were being 'poke' by doctors for blood taking. So when we are trying to bath them, they were shaking and crying continously upon touch. So pity them. Next thing is that the baby is on tube feeding so they feel very hungry as nothing goes thru the mouth and goes straight to the stomach. So need to feed them a bit of milk in the mouth to make them stop crying.

Holding the baby is so nice but they were so heavy to hold unless u are holding preterm one. They are so soft and delicate and very nice to touch ESPECIALLY the hair!!! OMG love the hair and FACE. but some babies do have peeling skin which is slightly rough but overall is SO CUTE with the eyes big big and hands and feet small small. LOVES them.

Compared with my friends experience in other wards me with the babies is the best!!!!
