2019-12-31Hi everyone, I love this community. So many helpful users/mummies/daddies and I ride on from your experiences and suggestions. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, there has been a user P. Z. whom in my opinion has been gg around commenting (in my opinion) useless, sometimes baseless and sarcastic comments (probably just to earn points and redeem freebies) To keep the community positive, let's stop being that. Let's start being kind. If you have nothing helpful/kind to comment, don't comment for the sake of the 1 or 2 points. Users get disappointed by the remarks/comments.

2020-01-03My Lo is 7m17d. He has been waking up very frequently at night these days. And sometimes stays awake for 1-2 hours after he wakes up. We co-sleep btw so when he fusses and whines, it will automatically wake me up because he's the kind that can't self settle or entertain himself. Also, he needs to be rocked to sleep. What should I do?? I'm going crazy. I'm the only care giver btw. Could this be a 8month Sleep regression?

2020-01-03I am a mum who is pro-vaccination but I have been told by a relative that the MMR vaccine is a very strong vaccine and could cause autism / vaccine injury due to the presence of formaldehyde. I was told not to follow the vaccination schedule and delay giving the vaccine as long as possible.

2020-01-04My daughter is 3 weeks old exactly. She currently weighs 4kg from her birth weight of 2.89 kg. We feed her a mix of BM (~300ml, 80-90 per feeding) and FM (~600ml, 80-90ml per feeding) Some details: 1) My confinement nanny is taking care of her feedings. 2) she will feed her whenever she cries , to a frequency of 2h to 2-5h per feeding for formula milk. For BM, is can be as fast as 1h-1.5h after her last BM feeds. 3) we are giving her Enfamil A+ for her FM In total, we are feeding her up to 900ml of BM + FM per day. I am worried that we are overfeeding her and have voice our concern to our nanny. But she appears to be nonchalant about it. Are we too overly anxious about this? Is this normal?
2020-01-04Does kkh have “goodie bags” for subsidised patients? If yes what does it contain?

Why is it not in the lower abdomen but it's the uterus.

2020-01-04I plan to send my baby to infant care but hubby want to ask his mother to come to look after my baby (mil is under 1 month tourist visa), but every time she's here, I really stress, I didn't express it, only kept it inside and also I don't talk much to her. I know somehow it's not good for my health, but I just cannot help it, mil's way of handling things and my way is different. I just want to avoid friction, try not to let her stay for too long, cos both of us is suffering, only my husband enjoying having her mother here. We're moving house in April, he already planning to bring his mother here on May to look after my baby, I refuse that idea and he get angry. that someday he will bring her mother to stay with us. I don't know how I can handle that, staying with her for 3 weeks I already feels very stressed and cannot wait for her to go back, and he wants us to stay together. Maybe someday I'll let him stay with his mother, and I'll rent a place somewhere nearby with my kids for the sake of my sanity.
