2019-05-06How to wean off bm? My son is 16 months old, he direct latch ever since he was a baby. When he was younger, he still uses the bottles and etc, but not anymore. When he doesnt see me, he doesnt eat or drink anything, on good days he only will eat solids. But his solids intake aint good either. I've tried supplementing with formula : Isomil & Dumex Soy, but he rejected all of them, not even my frozen stash of bm. (He is allergic to cow's milk, so not an option). Any mummy can advise me? Thanks

2019-05-06Hi i'm currently 6 mnths pregnant. Been going through an emotional roller coaster ride during my pregnancy journey & I'm always taking leave or mc to rest my mind at home, my husband's always there for me when I need him. I don't have friends who is pregnant currently so I don't talk to them about this because I don't want them to feel awkward. The problem is that, my other pregnant colleagues are just doing fine, no problems apart from the morning nausea & those typical pregnant symptoms. I feel stupid & weak to have to go through this while they seem so strong. I don't talk to them about this issue because they sound judgemental & I don't need such negativity in my life. I understand every pregnancy is different but I would expect mine to have bad nausea or extreme weight gain but mine just hormones raging about. Well, makes me feel shitty everyday. Is what I'm going through considered normal or am I just being a weak ass?

2019-05-06i have 2 siblings who is autistic. My 31 years old has severe eczema on his leg and hand that skin peels off and bleeding. My younger sister 28 years old has swollen lip that skin peels off , bleeding and puss coming out. This is what i going to say, i reach clinic at 8.42pm. Reg counter do all the resgistration just asked to sit down. At 8.59pm, staff told me doctor cannot see because too many patients and doctor is tired. I just shared my concerns about my two siblings, i did infm the staff, i am going to write in. This is unacceptable excuses to say you are tired. Doctor came out, saying to me that i can write in, i dont want to see the because i have too many. I even asked, staff can let me know earlier so i dont hv to wait, i just go some where else. imaging bring my 2 sibling who is mentally challenges, and my 3 year child cannot keep still. I am tired, frustrated that as why such things happen like that. Doctor is jus unreasonable. The same doctor, my daughter has a high fever last year, clinic was still running with no patients, 8.36pm can hav the balls to tell me that i can see your child because its my birthday, i need to rush home. WTF seriously, i ask my SIL, i shared my concerns and frustration. i told her i want to write in Moh. She say you can feedback abt the staff and system. Not the part that dr is tired. Because its his own Private GP. He has every right. what every right, you should treat pt liks that seriously, i am really fuming seriously. what should i do.
2019-05-06Recently I always feel hungry before bed time though I had my dinner around 7-8pm. Couldn’t fall asleep because of the hunger. Other than warm fresh milk, what other healthy food can I eat before bed?
2019-05-06Hi, any mums experiencing the same? I direct latch morning & evening, pump at work. Since a month now my son is on solid so i have reduced my pumping. Its been almost a week I no longer feel the need to express as my boobs just stay soft and supple the whole day. The last 2 days i didn’t even pump and i felt ok. I quite enjoy this feeling of not being slaved by full boobs, but also worried that i may drop the supply and can’t really get it back up again. At the moment my freezer is still full with milk that can last a month. I have not actually decided when to stop breastfeeding. If i continue to just latch morning & night, do you think i can maintain that in the next 5mos? Or will i dry up soon?

2019-05-07Hi mummies Am i the only one who has problems with my MIL? I'm not sure if it's because I'm very young therefore she thinks I'm incapable of taking care of my lo myself. But I'm having my confinement at my own home and my parents r both working but I'm doing fine handling my lo. My mil likes to tell me how i should care for my lo and what I should do when i don't need such advices bc I'm rly doing fine! Currently I'm alternating between my parents home n my in law in months so it's fair to both sides in terms of spending time with my lo and I'm honestly more comfortable at my own home as noone is here to micromanage me.. but my mil isnt happy about that, she is constantly arguing with my husband that i should be living with them instead as the baby is their family surname.. and my mil doesn't respect me when i tell her to not wake my baby up when my lo is sleeping she always carries her n wake her up on purpose and keeps insisting on giving my daughter pacifier when i do not encourage unless really necessary. Problems about my in law house that makes me uncomfortable also is because they always smoke in their home and definitely 2nd and 3rd hand smoke is NOT good for my lo but mil doesnt respect that! she still smokes in the house and in her room!!!!! mil also isnt happy that my husband n i r planning to rent a 2room from hdb bc she wants us to stay with her. What should i do?? i get very depressed whenever I'm at my in law house bc of the things my mil does. and I'm not able to voice up to her.

2019-05-08very envious seeing mothers who breastfeed well and have plenty of milk supply. I've done whatever I can to increase my milk supply (from eating right and taking fenugreek tablets, latching, pumping) but each time I pump, it's not even enough for one feed. so frustrating. it's been going on for 3 weeks since I delivered on 17 April. I gave up and end up feeding her formula. sigh!

2019-05-11Hi working mummies! Due to space constraints, I’m seriously considering taking care of my baby on my own till I go back to work. Currently we are staying at my in laws and we have a part time helper who does housework. I’m not expecting my in laws to help with taking care of baby. MIL & SIL work and FIL is not so mobile. May I check with mummies who managed to take care of your baby wo any confinement lady or helper for tips? I’m 3 months to my EDD now. Feeling the anxiety kicking in cos I’m really unsure how I can manage as a FTM. :( I’m wondering if I can just try my best to cope and when I go back to work, i can get a day care nanny to take care of my baby. Cos of the space constraints, I doubt a helper would be an option.
2019-05-11pls advicing me my girl is 27 months just starting school I am so exhausted doing housework and staying with in law and taking care smaller baby 13 months, my big girl always drives me mad I end up beated her non stop and my heart feels so pain, she is difficult to focus running nonstop and not want to eat, I don't have feeling to do anything I feel I am not human why beated her so much, but I couldn't control, I somehow think I don't care let she does whatever she wants, not eat I don't care any more, too tired, I just want to get out of my house going to work don't care what is going on, my husband always not allow to hire helper, he told he didn't want kids get suffer from maid, but I am the person bully my kids now, I just want to send them to nanny whatever. pls advicing me what I should do?

2019-05-11My formula milk instructions stated 120ml water to 4 scoops of formula - if I measure the water to exactly 120ml before adding the formula powder, I will end up with about 140ml after preparing - is this correct? Most people I know prepare 4 scoops of formula topped with water to 120ml so the entire mixture is still 120ml, to do that it means the water used is less than 120ml. Which way is correct??
