*burp*

Babies tend to get colicky when they feed, feed and over feed plus the neverending hiccups and Kimi is not exempted. And these strike during the wee hours. So imagine the turbulence we have to endure. It is a hands-on learning experience 'though. There is no other way to sharpen knowledge than going through things the hard way minus the guidance of the learned.

Perhaps, there's another reason for Kimi's irritability other than colic or hiccups. We decided to pay the Pedia a visit to be certain. The entire household (full force ba?) assumed that his stuffy nose was the culprit. His breathing seemed "gurglish" the past days. Looks like everybody's right! There appears to be something blocking the nasal passage which semi-surfaced upon sneezing, an hour before our appointment.

Kimi is alright, from head to foot, in and out. His doctor prescribed Salinase drops to clear the nose and a temporary shift to lactose-free milk to rule out lactose intolerance, if it could also be a cause of his extra irritability.

We reached home, tried the drops, cleared the nose using an aspirator/bulb...equals greenish and mucoid SUCCESS!! We haven't tried the milk yet 'coz the milk is unavailable UP here. Mukhang never heard daw. Wala daw sa pine cones ;p

Anyways, Kimi didn't give us a hard time this time. He must have been relieved *sigh* Let's wait and see tonight.

Night 1 down..
