UTI Panic!

My lovely and brave little Euri at JDMH

Yesterday afternoon, after a week-long stay in the hospital, we finally got home just in time to celebrate our little princess Euri's 1st month birthday. The little girl got infected by UTI (urinary tract infection) and the doctors (and my ever beloved mom and mom-in-law) are blaming no one else but me. I was taking antibiotics for my UTI two days before giving birth, so Euri's pediatrician confirmed that although it should have manifested right at birth, there are instances that UTI manifest within month after birth (term: late onset).

It was Friday last week when I noticed that Euri stopped asking for milk every 2 hours. My chubby newborn feeds 2 ounces of milk every two hours, and for some reason, she had lost appetite and slept more. There was also a less need for diaper change which bothered me since I know babies should pee a lot. Then came Sunday afternoon when I noticed that Euri's skin color is a little too red and her temperature seems high. The nanny said that the baby's temperature is normal, but I trusted my instinct and took her temperature -- 38.3C
