JAUNDICE

I just commented on HH's blog.

Poor Jaerio having high level jaundice. I could understand how sad it can be to see own baby being alway poke for blood test.

Something on jaundice which is good to know for new mommy.
Just my personally view, after some read up and also finding out about jaundice from PD when Amabel is having very mild jaundice for the two months. But I continue sunbathe her till she up to four months.

I found that most parent came to think that breastfeeding caused the seriousness of jaundice.

Breastfeeding jaundice is not a cause of worry. Breastfed babies may be jaundiced up to 3-4 months, at levels which are usually not dangerous. So never come to the conclusion of stop breastfeeding.
In fact breastmilk jaundice is very common in all breastfed babies as there is something in breastmilk that causes increased intestinal absorption of bilirubin (substance that causes jaundice). If only suspected breastmilk jaundice reaches very high, usually the doctors will recommend an interruption to breastfeeding to bring it down. Whist breastmilk jaundice doesn't result in brain damage, there may be other pathological causes that aggravate the jaundice and the doctors would need to determine that and to do so, they may ask you to stop breastfeeding so that they can do accurate blood tests. So some doctor will ask the mother to stop breastfeed just for the sick of doing accurate blood tests. Hence, I don't think there is a need to totally stop breastfeeding. Perhaps can just temporary stop giving the baby breastmilk. Instead, store it in the freezer (can keep up to 6 weeks) and give it to the baby once the level is down and continue breastfeed thereafter, so the baby can still enjoy the beneficial of the breastmilk.

There is a few types of jaundice, so don’t ever think that it is definitely the breastmilk that caused it. If there is a need for an interruption to breastfeeding, doctor will be able to advise you. I think that many people misunderstood when doctor ask them to stop breastfeeding due to jaundice, so they may think the main cause of the jaundice is BREASTMILK, But the main reason is partly because, by doing so, the doctor can do accurate blood tests to determine the cause.

There may be other conditions that cause an exaggeration of this type of jaundice, such as a more rapid than normal breakdown of red blood cells. Because these conditions have no association with breastfeeding, breastfeeding should continue. So If the baby has severe jaundice due to rapid breakdown of red blood cells, this is not a reason to take the baby off the breast. Breastfeeding should continue.

Physiologic jaundice develops in all babies (although it may be very slight and not noticeable) sometime after the first day of life because their organs are not yet able to eliminate excess bilirubin effectively. If noticeable, the yellowing of the skin and eyes usually appears about 24 hours after birth and increases until about the third or fourth day. Most often, the blood bilirubin level then gradually lowers, and the yellowing fades or disappears in about a week without causing problems.

Breast-feeding jaundice is actually caused by mild dehydration, which prolongs and intensifies physiologic jaundice. Dehydration contributes to jaundice because it makes removing bilirubin from the body even harder for babies' immature systems. Breast-feeding jaundice can occur when a baby does not get enough fluids, most often because feedings are spaced too far apart. If feedings become more frequent, this type of jaundice decreases or resolves very fast after birth. Breast milk jaundice is a rise in bilirubin levels that occurs about 10 to 14 days after birth. It is likely related to how certain components of breast milk affect bilirubin elimination in the infant.
Breast milk jaundice usually begins to fade by the second month, although a slight yellow tint may be visible throughout the duration of breast-feeding.It is alright to breastfeed and you should breastfeed even though your baby is jaundiced.
Suggested that to minimize jaundice, you nurse your baby right after delivery and you can start the first nursing within 30 minutes of delivery. You can insist that no formula, water or other fluids be given as there is scientific evidence that this can exacerbate the problem.

For my case, Amabel was sent to me for breastfeeding within an half after delivery and I total breastfeed her every 2 hours though she never drink much due to the sleepy spell . But I believe that's partly the reason why Amabel only suffered mild jaundice and recovered fast.

How to wash baby clothing? (My method)

Since I am double checking on this so thought of writing it out my method of handling baby clothing.

Washing baby clothes is an important task that should be given a little bit different attention than washing clothes for the rest of the family.

After all, infants’ clothes are smaller and their skin is more sensitive to whatever materials they wear.

Infants deserve extra consideration when it comes to their daily wear.

Keeping your little one's clothes fresh and clean is an important way of providing quality care and affection. Because a baby's skin is so delicate, it is important to take proper care of all of their clothing. When washed correctly using the right detergents, you can ensure that your baby will feel comfortable and cozy in all of their clothes. In addition, you would be able to prolong the life of all of their clothing as long as you take the proper care steps.

I know that there is a lot of different method of washing and handling baby dirty clothing by different parent. I do hear that few mommies actually mix the baby clothing with adult clothing to wash. There are no hard rules but I still prefer my ways of washing and handle baby clothing after some finding. After all I am more concern about their delicate skin that may result with rashes and allergies due to mites caused by the clothing

This is what I do and ensure; (in the mid of finding out more)


Hand Wash

1. Brand new baby clothing that I have purchased I will make sure it is washed before wear. Not only can this make the clothing softer, you are also eliminating the risk of residue from the manufacturing process from touching your baby's skin.

2. Separate all of the baby clothing into darks and lights piles, just as you would for the rest of the clothing in your family. This will help to make sure that none of the darker clothing bleeds color onto lighter clothes.

3. If I am unsure of the detergent that I have whether can be use on baby clothing? Then I don't use it! Nothing can be more heartbreaking than seeing my precious baby suffering from a rash that was caused by the detergent. This can be an irritant, especially if your little one is prone to skin conditions such as eczema.

4. Use a baby-safe laundry detergent cause other type of detergent will irritate the baby's skin when used. Follow directions on the package and use a moderate amount. Too much detergent can be harsh to a baby's skin. Too little, on the other hand, means the clothes may not become thoroughly clean or deodorized.

5. Avoid using chemical additives like bleach, or fabric softener.

6. Keep two laundry baskets in the kitchen to receive the baby’s dirty diaper in one basket and dirty clothes in another basket.

7. We clean and clear the basket daily, taking care to remove stains and prevent odors from building up.

8. Small buckets for pre-soaking clothing

9. Soiled diaper will immediately rinse it and soak in water

10. Wash cloth diapers separately, this will prevent the possible transfer of bacteria from diapers to clothing.

11. I use warm to hot water to soak baby clothing and diaper with Pigeon liquid detergent to kill germs and mites. Check the fabric labels to be ensuring the item can safely make it through a regular wash in hot water.

12. Launder some items by hand or we scrub the baby dirty clothing and diaper with Pigeon powder detergent. Make sure it is rinse thoroughly to avoid detergent residue.

13. Be sure that the clothes dry completely to discourage the development of mold or mildew and fold promptly to avoid wrinkles that can make the baby feel uncomfortable. Will iron some of the clothes that need to be ironed before folding or hanging up in the wardrobe.

I also find out about the use of using Machine Wash.
Whether it is hand wash or machine wash is the same though. But I actually don’t really preferred machine wash though is more convenient cause machine wash will spoil the shape of the delicate clothing especially for baby clothes.

Will do the following if I need to resort in Machine Wash.

1. If diapers are particularly soiled, rinse them before placing in the washing machine. Machine wash the cloth diapers in load in per machine-wash, and baby clothing in another machine wash.

2. Use the delicate wash cycle if it is indicated. Warm or cold water will work for the rinse step, so set the washing machine dials accordingly before starting the load.

3. Add a baby-safe laundry detergent. Follow directions on the package and use a moderate amount. Too much detergent can be harsh to a baby's skin. Too little, on the other hand, means the clothes may not become thoroughly clean or deodorized.

4. Avoid using chemical additives like bleach or fabric softener.

5. Use the right cycle for the type of clothing being washed to ensure proper washing. 6. If got a dryer machine. Use a warm or high dryer setting. This will continue killing germs that may have survived the laundry wash.

6. Be sure that the clothes dry completely to discourage the development of mold or mildew and fold promptly to avoid wrinkles that can make the baby feel uncomfortable. Will iron some of the clothes that need to be ironed before folding or hanging up in the wardrobe.

Baby Abdomen's Massage

Constant crying is a normal occurrence in newborns. Colic is one of the most common reported ailments in infants aged 3 weeks to about 3 or 4 months. Extended periods of loud crying lasting longer than an hour are trademarks of the ailment, and are most frequent after being fed or late into the evenings.

What causes gas in infants?
1. Swallowed air
Swallowed air is the most common cause of gas in the stomach and is the major reason for burping. Swallowing some air is unavoidable. Big and small alike, we all swallow air. Infants swallow air…
• During breast or bottle feeding - Eating or drinking quickly greatly increases the amount of air swallowed.
• While eating solid foods.
• During episodes of intense crying.
• When swallowing saliva.
• While vigorously sucking on a pacifier.
In a breast feed infant, swallowing large amounts of air may be linked to a poor latch-on and/or a fast and plentiful supply of breast milk. In a bottle fed infant, swallowing large amounts of air may be due to an unsuitable feeding teat.

2. Normal digestion
Acid produced in the stomach is neutralized by pancreatic secretions as it passes into the intestines (bowel) and the resulting interaction creates gas as a by-product. Some of this gas is absorbed into the blood stream and exhaled out of the lungs. The rest of the gas will continue through the bowel and is passed as flatus.

3. Incomplete breakdown of milk or food
A small number of babies may experience excessive gas (along with many of the other symptoms associated with gas) due to an inability to adequately digest one or more of the proteins and/or carbohydrates (sugar and starches) found in milk (including infant formula), juices and/or some foods. This is due to insufficient production of particular digestive enzymes, believed to be related to an immaturity of an infant’s digestive tract.


Technique in Massaging Infant’s Abdomen

Very important
* It must be extremely gently. No large strength is need. Just place your hand on the skin surface and gently stroke.
* You may want to use a little massage oil or lotion on your hands before beginning. For me I don’t use anything since is just a very gentle abdomen massage on the baby skin surface which don’t need rubbing.

I always do in the following sequence;

1.) Paddlewheel
Use both your hands (palm and fingers) lying flat starting on the upper part of the stomach. Move in clockwise motion for both hand; right hand move to form a half circle (start at the upper stomach and end at the lower part of the stomach) lift up and place back to the starting point and repeat, whereas left hand continuously always move clockwise in full circle (no stop). X 5 times
This motion will move the gas around, making it easier to pass for the infant.



2.) Long strokes.
Place your palm on the infant’s chest, with fingers of each hand pointing towards the opposite of the child's shoulder. Draw one of the hands downward along the stomach, towards their diaper, follow by another hand. Repeat with slow, gentle motions. X 5 times



3.) I LOVE YOU Strokes
Use one of your hands. For me I’m right-handed so use my right hand.
To draw a ‘I’; Place your hand on the upper center stomach, draw downward along the stomach towards the baby’s diaper (this form a ‘I’ to the baby and you)
To draw a ‘L’; Place your hand on the upper right side of the baby’s stomach, draw horizontally to the center of the baby stomach and draw down to their diaper. (This form a ‘L’ to the baby, but your direction it will be a inverted ‘L’ or it is a ‘7’ to you)
To draw a ‘U’; Place your hand on the lower right side of the baby’s stomach, draw a inverted ‘U’ (to baby it is a “U”) toward the upper center to the lower left side of the baby’s stomach.
As I stroke, I said ‘I’, ‘Love’ You’ to my girl in soft tone. For my maid I don’t ask her to say that. Lol~ Do this 5 times.



4.) Bubble Tapping
Use one of your hands; tap your fingers continuously in a clockwise circular motion on the baby’s stomach. This will break the bubble in the baby’s stomach. X 5 times



5.) Pooing Method
Gently grab your baby both legs in each hand. Place your infant's heel next to their bottom by bending the knee. With the leg still bent, move the thigh towards their stomach until it rests on their tummy. Must be gently!! Move the other leg to this position as well. Slowly and carefully move the legs in a bicycle pattern. The infant may be confused at first, but they grow to love it. X 5 times.
Usually this step; Amabel will fart!!

6.) Sway Side to Side
Carry the baby by their armpit/chest with your hands; sway the baby side by side (to the left then right) in slow and gentle motion x 3 times. Then place the baby on your lap, with your hand griped the baby over their chest. Pad her back and burp her. If I do this after milk feed. Amabel always burp within 3minutes. I used to take about 15minute to get her burp if not she won’t burp. Until I used this method, she burps.

This is enough to encourage a healthy digestive system, ease symptoms of colic, and promote a quiet and restful evening.

** I always do this after her milk feed to get her to burp and digest well. If not will be whenever her abdomen is bloated.
** Do not massage your baby’s abdomen if he/she has hiccups.

The videos taken above is when I am in my office, so I can only use a cushion to act as a baby abdomen. Because is too rush in taking the video and no one is helping so I cannot concentrate in counting the number of times I do for each method and the strength I use is a bit harsh lah.
Sorry is the video not clear enough cause I'm using my mobile to take it.

This is how I burp baby ...
There are a number of different ways you can assist your baby to burp.

With all burping methods you need to hold your baby in a upright or semi-upright position

Babies often bring up a little milk with a burp, so it may be helpful to have a burping cloth, cloth diaper or towel handy. If your baby often spits up large amounts of milk, suggested the burping method like; over your shoulder or on your knee, which will keep her in an upright position but apply less pressure to her tummy.

1. Over your shoulder
Hold your baby in an upright position against your chest, with her head resting on your shoulder. Gently cup and pat the baby’s back or cup and pat using a upward motion.

2. On your knee
Sit your baby sideways on your knee. Support her head by placing your thumb and index finger under her jaw just below her ears. (Take care your hand is not pressing against her neck). Lean her forward slightly, resting her tummy against the heel of your hand. Gently cup and pat or cup and pat the baby’s back using a upward motion using your free hand

3. Over your knee
Lay your baby face down over your crossed legs. Position her so that your upper leg provides gentle pressure to her tummy. Support her head with one hand and pat or rub her back with your other.
I saw this method when at my hospital stay in TMC, the nurse is doing this to my girl when burping her, but I don’t feel comfortable with this method

Something to share also ...
If your baby is suffering from constipation. After the bath or early in the morning when the baby wake up, grab your baby leg up a bit and move the leg in a circular motion clockwise 10 times and do this the same for the other leg. Hold the other leg up again and move in anti-clockwise 10 times and do the same for another leg. Just that simple to soften the stool and get the baby to pass motion though not immediate effect.

Hope I explained it clear as I am writing this in a rush.

Bathing Infant and Toddler

This post is for Lynn since she is asking me about bathing of infant/toddler and their fear of bathing. Really sorry for unable to chat with her over msn on this as I was busy that day so I must else blog on this here.

I think that if no proper procedures of bathing is carry out, it may result in infant/toddler being fear of bathing.

Just sharing how I actually bathe Amabel when she is a newborn and also over different stages also when she turns toddler. Actually I am not the one who always bath for her after I went back to work, most of the time is my maid. But I do bath for her quite often when she is 2 to 3 month old and of course NOW when she knows how to stand and walk. During my confinement, I couldn't bath her so I always stand beside to supervisor the ex-maid (not my current maid, cause at that point of time she is still new so I don’t dare to let her handle my girl). When I start to teach my current maid how to bath my girl before i return to work; I will usually correct her after the whole bathing cause I don’t want to pressure her whilst she is bathing my girl.

Bathing should be a special time between parent and baby. You will want to use this time to bond.

Toddler bathing
Since Amabel knows how to walk and no longer using bathtub for bathing. I often bathe together with her. Both of us enjoy a lot. Whenever my maid is showering her hair, she always cries. Maid doesn’t know how to coax her. She never cry when I bath her cause I never let her get frighten with water running into her eyes. I play with her while bathing with her favourite bathing toys. When she scare of water running from her head. I play with her the raining game, telling her is raining, the raining water is dropping down from your head to toe and she doesn’t cry but enjoy it and find it fun.

Here are some tricks to get her splashing happily. This is what I do now.

Entice with a toy.
We fill the tub with water and her favorite floating toys. Let her play with the toys while outside of the tub (under supervision). I do reserve a few special toys solely for bathtime.

Use a different "bathtub."
Baby may getting bored with her current bath. Try a smaller tub (confining her to a smaller area may make her feel safer). I use this now to bath her...



Enjoy a bath for two (I do ask my maid play with her during bath, to make it an enjoyable one).
I bathe with her together of course won't allow my maid to do that. I play with her toys and show her my enjoyment of the toys and I splash around the water too. She will want to join in the fun, go into washing until she really think of bathtime as fun time.

Massage rather than bathe.
I gently massage the shower gel on her. Massaging is relaxing and also great for baby bonding. Wash her with long, gentle strokes so that she feels she's getting a wet massage rather than a bath.

Swimming
I bring her for a swim, getting her to enjoy a pool will help in getting her to like bathing. Once she learns how much fun it is to play around in the water again, you'll find that her bathing fears will soon be washed away.

If none of these tricks conquers their phobia, stick to sponge-bathing her twice a week (taking extra care for the diaper area) and washing her hair once a week. With time, this fear phase will pass and she will be ready to return to the tub.

Here I shall share also what I have learnt in an infant care course and adhere to in bathing my girl when she is an infant.

Tub bathing Infant Basics
I bath my girl once a day in the morning during the first few months cause more frequent bathing may be drying to the skin. But I do cloth clean her 3 to 4 times a day.

You'll need the following items before bathing your baby:
- A soft, clean washcloth to clean baby head and body (I bought those specially make for bathing infant in my delivery hospital, TMC)
- Afew Soft, clean washcloth / Gauze to clean infant eyes and ear, tongue and gum.
- Cotton balls to apply medication to clean the umbilical cord if it haven't fall.
- Mild, unscented baby soap and shampoo. (I used 'Lactacyd' / 'babies n cream Aromababy' gentle cleansing liquid' - no rinse off is needed- for the first three months cause the skin is still sensitive. Just need to put 9 drops of the liquid to the warm boiled water in the bathtub. I use Diamond filtered Water to bath her)
- A pail of cool boiled water for cleaning the eyes, tongue and gum
- I used those baby towels with hoods (this is great for keeping a freshly washed baby warm.)
- Blankets to cover the infant from chilled
- An infant tub with 2 to 3 inches of warm — not hot! — water. The safest temperature for bathing is about 37ºC if I remember correctly. For me, I test the water temperature by feeling the water with the inside of your elbow or wrist. If not you can buy those water thermometers for bathing infant.
- A clean diaper / cloth diaper
- Clean clothes
- Baby lotion and Organic California cream on her skin if she develop skin irritation. And nappy cream for standby

** No powder, there is no need to use powder; cause the baby natural body scent is nice enough. Even really out of choice like parent or in law insist you (I’m one of them), to put some on the baby, choose those with no talc. I use organic one. No matter what, insist not to put it around infant’s private area.
** As long as you always use cool boiled water to clean the baby bottom after soil or urine and change the diaper often. Baby won’t develop nappy rashes so there is don’t need to use nappy cream at all.
** Last time, I used Ruyi oil on baby's stomach, cause my in law said my girl's stomach is bloated, ask me to apply to release baby's uncomfort. Huihui told me during her prenatal course, Mrs Wong (my lactation and babycare consultation; someone who I idiol and respect) taught them not to use it cause it may be too hot for baby sensitive skin. I never take note of it cause no irritation on Amabel's skin nor she cry because of that. I shall stop using that for my coming one, if not neccessary to.

If baby develop stomach discomfort due to bloated stomach, can use stomach massage to cease the discomfort. I do it everyday for Amabel when she got very serious bloated stomach. The massage is taught by Mr Wong when I look her up for lactation consultation. It really help alot; Amabel's bloated stomach cured after i use that techniques after a week. Thereafter, I made it a habit to massage her after every feeds and also when her stomach feel bloated. I taught my maid that also so she can do it for her when I am working.

Mr Wong is also the one who make my breastfeed an enjoyable one. Really thanks her!

Tub baths. This is what I did…
· Pick a warm room and a flat surface, such as a changing table, floor, or counter. I place it on the floor beside of my platform bed.
· Get ready the towel, placing nicely on the changing table. For me I placed on my bed. Have everything you need near you so that you don't ever leave your baby unattended. Standby the baby lotion (organic), powder (organic with no talc) , medication for umbilical cord etc.
· Undress my baby. Use a clean blanket to cover the body first just in case she caught a cold
· Wipe infant's eyes with a clean washcloth/gauze (never use before one) dampened with cool boiled water only, starting with one eye and wiping from the inner corner to the outer corner once and discard. Use another new piece of the washcloth/gauze to wash the other eye once and discard . Same way for cleaning the ears, tongue and gum- once used, discard it, never reuse it.
· Clean my baby's nose and ears with the washcloth dampened with cool boiled water only.
· Clean baby's face with a washcloth dampened with clean soapy water from the bathtub.
· Next cuddle the baby in a football method (just like the football method we use to breastfeed baby, for those who use this method to breastfeed baby before should know) and gently wash baby's head with a soft washcloth and rinse. Make sure the water doesn’t get into the eyes. Must be very gentle especially the area over the fontanelles (soft spots) on the top of the head. This is often the place I very worry when my maid washing my girl head cause I won’t know the strength she use. I also remind her to be specially gentle on that area.
· Next for the body part. Before putting baby down to the water. I ensure the water is still warm. · Now is the tedious part… when putting the baby down to the water, speaking gently with the baby, slowly and gently lower baby down in the water with the tip of the baby’s toes touch the surface of the water first to let the baby to feel the water and be prepare to get into the water, so the baby won’t be too scare with the sudden change.
· Then slowly lower your baby up to the chest into the tub. Use one of your hands to support the head and the other hand to guide the baby in feet-first.
· Using the washcloth to clean baby’s body gently, paying special attention to creases under the arms, behind the ears, around the neck, the genital area and folded areas. Usually that is the part where trap dirt and missed out. Throughout the bath, regularly pour water gently over your baby's body so he or she doesn't get cold.
· Once you have washed those areas, gently carry the baby out of the water. Wrap my baby in a towel immediately, making sure to cover my baby’s head.
· Wrap the baby and make sure I pat the baby dry
· Gently dry the the umbilical cord and apply the medication given by the hospital
· Apply the baby lotion, and a bit of powder on the body only not the private area
· Then diaper and dress my baby.

CHILDREN’S SAFETY IS OUR CONCERN
· Never leave baby unattended during bath time, for any reason (telephone, doorbell ring, etc…) REMEMBER, the baby/young child is more important!
· Test the water temperature before putting baby in it.
· Due to temperature change, never run the water with baby in the tub.
· Make sure all the bathing items are close by in the bathroom, before putting your baby in the water.
· Be sure that baby is held firmly in the bath to avoid any fear of falling and
· always keep a constant eye on them
· Soapy babies are very slippery; you might want to avoid using the soap the first couple of times you bath your newborn baby, until you get use to holding him/her firmly.

** Other Important things to take note…
- I only give my baby a bath before feeding, but not if the baby is starving. Some babies have been known to spit up if bathed on a full tummy.
- Always be careful of the umbilical cord if it not yet falls off (Usually fall off during 1–4 weeks) when bathing the baby. Apply the medication given by the hospital on the dry umbilical cord.
- I always gently talk to the baby in soft tone throughout the whole bathing, to distract her from fear.

Tips while doing infant bath (this is will reduce the infant being fear of bathing also):
- I never bathe baby just before a meal to avoid crankiness or after a meal to avoid spitting up.
- The area in which you are bathing your baby should be warm. Never let the baby get chilled.
- I always gently talk to the baby in soft tone throughout the whole bathing, to distract her from fear.
- An infant tub with 2 to 3 inches of warm — not hot! — water. The safest temperature for bathing is about 37ºC if I remember correctly. Always test the water temperature by feeling the water with the inside of your elbow or wrist. If not you can buy those water thermometers for bathing infant
- Don’t use highly concentrated shampoos and soaps while doing infant bath.
- Use soft, soothe and chemical free products only.
- Don’t leave your baby alone in the bath tub.

*SPONGE BATHING (Usually 3 to 4 times a day, till now I still sponge bath my girl in addition to bathing her 2 times a day)
1. Lay baby on clean changing mat or soft towels. Have your a blanket to cover her body abit so she won't get chilled.
2. Have everything you need near you so that you don't ever leave your baby unattended.
3. For newborns, you will only need a basin of cool boiled water for hair and another for body (i bought those basin that come with two compartment (one for hair and one for face and body) , two soft washcloths and afew small soft washcloth/gauze for cleaning eyes, ears, tongue and gum.

4. Wipe infant's eyes with a clean washcloth/gauze (never use before one) dampened with clean cool boiled water only, starting with one eye and wiping from the inner corner to the outer corner once and discard. Use another new piece of the washcloth/gauze to wash the other eye once and discard . Same way for cleaning the ears, tongue and gum.
5. Use a washcloth to wash the head and hair.
6. Then another washcloth to wash your baby's face. Rinse the washcloth and way down to body; exposing one area at a time, washing it and clean another area. Do it until all body area are cleaned.
7. Apply baby lotion etc and dressed the baby

Hope I am doing the correct way and never miss out anything. If I am not, please correct me with your opinons.
