2020-04-27Hi mummies! My LO (3 weeks old) tends to fight sleep and will fight to stay awake after his feeding at times. It can sometimes last until the next feed which is 2-3 hours later. We'll carry him when he fusses and cries, but once he's asleep, we put him down, he starts to cry again. The cycle continues until next feed. Are there any implications as I read that newborn should not be awake more than 45-60mins at 1 time. Pls advise! TIA!

2020-04-27What is the latest age for kids to start talking? My dotter is 2 years old. Her motor skills and balancing skills are great, and to me, Amazing! She is very observant, follows instructions and pretty cautious of her surroundings. But she still have not spoken one proper word. Not even mom or dad. Should i be worried? Because I am. Also because our families kept asking if she had started talking. My kid just makes sounds. She can do matching printables like matching colours and shapes, matching continents of the world, arrange numbers. And we always keep talking to her, keep talking in full sentences. Is it really different kid develops differently?

Can anyone share their experiences?
2020-04-30I always get angry at my husband, is this normal? Average once a week I will throw tantrum at him. Most of the time I ended up in a crying fit. Would that cause any harm to the baby in the womb?
2020-04-30Hi Mummies! my lo is 4 months old and is only 4.8kg now. During her 3 month check up DR said she was in the 3% percentile. She isnt gaining weight and its very worrying for me. I DL through the night and also bottle feed day time. she drinks about 90-120mls every 3 hours. Besides that good diaper output and she is hitting milestones. Should I be worrying about the weight or isit okay? Please advice. Thanks in advance!
2020-04-30Anyone here tried the cry-it-out method but didn't work on their LO? My son is 11 months, husband and I tried the method starting 2 weeks ago. At first things were going well, LO's crying got shorter and shorter till 10 mins he was asleep. But 3 nights ago LO's bedtime got worse... The moment we enter the bedroom (we share a room), he would start crying. At first we were able to pacify him back to sleep, but by the 3rd night it was nightmare - he didn't sleep till 7am! I had to carry him the whole night as he refused to be put down and would cry buckets again... Funny thing is daytime naps he is okay, just the nights. And he would be sleeping soundly till we enter the room. Is it us causing him to behave like this? Should we be sleeping in a separate room? TIA!

2020-04-30Hi Mummies, I'm at my 15th week & had my follow up scan recently. Dr saw cystic spaces in fetal brain. Dr has arranged for an early fetal anomaly scan and advised nothing to worry about for now as baby development is normal and I have not had any complicated issues during my pregnancy. However would like to know if it something worrying? Any Mummies experience this before? Would love to hear some advice. Thank you!

2020-04-30My husband has been helping out a lot and very involved in our pregnancy. He cleans the house, does the laundry and wash the washrooms etc. However, I get very sensitive when he couldn’t pay attention to my dietary needs. Before pregnant, we didn’t have a fixed meal time. But now I am very particular about eating on time to provide for baby in the womb. I feel very tired that I’m always the one asking him what’s for lunch, what’s for dinner etc. I have spoken to him before and he tried. Often, he would order more food in advance and put them in the fridge. To him, he thinks that eating food a few hours long is fine. But to me it is not. Because I prefer to have freshly prepared food for our baby. I have talked to him before. But I am sick and tired of repeating myself every single time.

2020-05-01My LO is going 12W soon and lately she has been waking 3.30am for a feed but she cant go back to sleep easily and will be awake for more than 1hr after her feed. Is this a signal that she has "wakeup" from her sleep? How do we help her transit into sleeping after MOTN feed? Usually in the day, baby will play for 1 hr after feeding then she will be tired and sleep. It seems like she is doing this after her 3.30am feed. Are baby able to differentiate night feed and wake feed? I'm worried my baby doesnt get enough sleep if she keeps doing this. For these days, her naps are around 3-4hours, 3 nap. Night sleep (include 3.30am waking up) 8 + 3. Please advise if anything wrong!

2020-05-02I have this BFF is a SAHM and who has been very obsessed with having a baby girl but she had 2 boys instead, and I am one of her boy’s god mother. She told me that if I get pregnant with a baby girl, she would want to be her god mother and buy her a lot beautiful clothes and toys, to fill her void of not being able to have girls. And true enough, I’m currently pregnant with a baby girl. My hubby has reserves on wanting her to be our child’s god mother and he is afraid that she will spoil our girl too much by buying her with a lot of things. We don’t want her to spend money on our girl as her hubby is having financial troubles and he hasn’t been frank with her. How do I let her down gently? Should I reveal the gender to her? Not sure if I should make her my girl’s god mother, given that we know about her hubby’s situation...

2020-05-02My LO is 3.5months and is taking 170ml every 3 to 4 hours. She is no longer taking any night feedings so about 6-7 feedings in a day. She is on mixed feedings since birth. For some reasons, my LO's weight seems to be increasing quite a lot. She is 7.7kg, but her height does not seem to have increase much (9cm since birth till now). Am I overfeeding her? Additionally, as her milk demands increases, my milk supply remained stagnant. Now I have to combine more pump sessions breast milk into 1 feeding for her which starts to make me even more discouraged, like I pump so much but only enough for her to drink 3 feeds. It makes me very discouraged to continue pumping as I am the only caregiver (husband works in essential line) and I still have to work from home, and take care of her, pump milk and wash all the things. I feel like giving up.
