When the Kid Is Ill: Synechiae

I wonder why a new-born baby-girl`s Mom is never warned by a neonatologist that there might be cases of synechiae with girls. It happened to me twice with both my daughters. The first case wasn`t serious, the children gynecologist did some painless manipulations to Teona and she was alright. But with Sophya it was just terrible. 

In the middle of summer I took my girls to their granny. Suddenly Sophya (6 months old) felt uncomfortable and irritated which puzzled me since she had used to be an active, joyful and calm baby. Watching her for a day or two I realised that to pee was a problem for her. We immediately went to a hospital to take the urine test which was a bad one, there were too many leukocytes. The next morning we were brought to hospital again to examine what had gone wrong and to start the treatment. Fortunately, the gynecologist found the problem but that happened only after 3 antibiotics injections and much more painful blood tests. Three days later we were allowed to go home with the diagnosis Sinechiae instead of the supposed urinary tract infection. 

When the Kid Is Ill: Fever. Waiting For the Doctor

What should a Mom do when waiting for a doctor if her baby has a fever?

• First of all, do not panic. If the kid`s temperature is more than 38 degrees C, you may give him some infant acetaminophen or ibuprofen to bring down your child's temperature. I usually use suppositories so that not to make harm to my kids` stomachs.

Sleeping well: babies

Is it difficult to make your baby fall asleep? Does he or she sleep well at night? If I were to answer I would say that it is rather easy to make Sophy fall asleep, but she doesn`t sleep well. Her day naps last 40-60 minutes twice a day, in the evenings she goes to bed at 9 p.m. waking up at midnight, at 3 a.m. and at6 a.m. It is difficult to find the reason for this since she isn`t hungry or hot (the average temperature in the room is about 23 degrees C). It might be teeth but we haven`t been sleeping well for half a year already. Our neurologist sees no problem here which is rather encouraging. So as far as I can understand I am the only person to define the problem and eliminate it.
