2020-01-13Currently my baby is with a nanny for day care. It’s 1 to 1. It started about a month+ ago. The nanny seems to be taking good care of her. From what I’ve seen, the following is what the nanny does every day with my daughter: 8am Milk 10am Bath 12pm Porridge + sleep if wants to 2pm Purée 4pm Milk + sleep 5pm Snacks 6pm Clean/wipe the baby The nanny put the baby to sleep by patting her which I don’t do ? Carry her around the house or to the corridor to see the neighbourhood if she’s cranky. Im not sure if nanny lets her plays by herself much/ tummy time , instead she likes to carry her around ? I don’t carry her a lot if she’s home, I usually let her play with her toys, explore the surroundings. I’m ok with the carrying, as long as the nanny truly cares about my kid. How about your experience with your child’s nanny?

2020-01-13Hi all, parents do you put your kids at childcare / infant care or your in laws/parents look after them? Am currently faced with a complicated situation which is: 1) In laws are still working full time so unable to take care of LOs (< 1 y/o) 2) my own parents are unable to take care of LO full time as they are close to 70, do not want to put additional strain on them and they are not in the greatest health 3) both hubs and I am working full time 4) infant care/childcare did cross my mind but in laws strongly against it cos they feel that I should be SAHM for the first 4 years of LO’s life 5) getting a helper did cross my mind too but hubs is strongly against it because he doesn’t like an outsider/stranger living in the same house. 6) Hubs felt that i should put LOs with my parents since that’s the only choice so we both can go to work. I can’t afford to quit my job as I still have to provide for my parents/pay loans/bills/mortgage etc :/ and desperately want to put my LO in a IFC/CC near my workplace. Dearest mummies and daddies, how do you cope with full time work plus young kiddos? Thanks all for your inputs in advance.

2020-01-14Traditional weaning or baby lead weaning? And why?
2020-01-14My 5 month old boy rolled over and fell from the bed that’s about a knee-high. He cried for about 2 minutes but quickly settled after I soothed him. He seemed okay after that as he immediately smiled and laughed as usual. There were no bruises on his head or body. Honestly I’m not sure how he landed as I just turned my back for a split second when it happened. Went to the polyclinic. Doctor checked everything and said that he was okay. My husband requested referral to the hospital to do a CT scan to scan for possible blood clot on the head and x ray for hairline fracture. As a mother, I am a bit apprehensive to send my baby to undergo such scans as they’re not good for the baby and it’s unnecessary as he does not produce any symptoms at all. We will monitor him for the next 24 hours. If there’s no vomiting, bruise or fever, then I don’t see the need to go for scan. Thoughts?

I have opted out to not let the Gynae do a membrane swept on me as I do not wish to feel uncomfy and wanted a natural birth as in self pain, cervix open by itself rather than the Gynae dig and check.

2020-01-14I start to hv milk at 22 weeks 4 day
2020-01-14How strict r u when it comes to formula? I have 1 big can of formula that expires in March 2021. However I read that once the can is opened, best to use up all contents within 1 month. Any mummies out there use the same can of formula for more than 1 month? Reason is - initially I was on the low supply side and my confinement nanny suggested feeding FM in the night and I agreed because I needed the rest too. Now she is gone and I am feeding EBM in the day and latching in the night. My big can of formula is just sitting there..... I was thinking of using it for emergencies like I can’t be home on time and my other caregiver will be able to make FM for baby. But expiry date wise... pls advise!! I don’t want to waste it... still have 3/4 of the can.. if not I’ll rather bless it.. left with 20 days I think if I were to follow the 1 month rule.

2020-01-14I had lost my baby for good...Baby was at 8 weeks + 1 but stopped growing at 7 weeks and no heart beat for the past few days.I am having what the Dr termed as "missed miscarriage" or "spontaneous abortion".Now I am just bleeding like having periods until the remaining clots are out for the next 10 days.Physically I looked ok but emotionally I am at a wreck to see my pad full of blood because that's my baby that I am looking at...?????
2020-01-14I have severe dark circle and my baby was born with puffy eyes. But it's so cute for him. But I'm worried if he will continue to have those puffiness under his eyes forever or skin would turn black like me. ?
2020-01-14I had c section about 1 week ago. For 2 days I'm having on and off fever. My next gyne appointment is only next week. So I went to the nearest clinic near my house. Even the doctor don't know why I got fever. But when I checked my temperature there, it was only 37.2. He took blood and urine test and called me once the results was out. He said it might be due to urine infection. That too he said "might". He said I need to start antibiotics. But I don't trust his words and have asked for the report so that I can show my gyne next week. I don't have any symptoms for urine infection also. But today also I felt hot and after while I sweat, it's gone. Any advise?

2020-01-15How long does 1 tube / bottle of stretch mark cream (~100mL/g) last you?
2020-01-15My LO is coming to 3 months in 2 weeks time and we still swaddle her when she sleeps. I read on the internet that it is advisable to remove swaddling when your LO turns 2 months. The thing is my LO still has her startle/moro reflex that will disrupt her sleep every 10 or 20 mins and swaddling really helps her to self soothe and she will go back to sleep herself. Another thing when we tried to unswaddle her, she will start rubbing her face oe mouth with her hands when we try to put her down and ended up she woke up and we had to soothe her again to sleep. Any thoughts on this?

2020-01-15Hi mummies, it’s me again. I’m on Diclectin since Monday, and still timing out the doses so that it brings down the nausea to a minimum. But I still find myself puking at certain times of the day. Wondering if there is anyone who also experienced the same as me? Are there any mummies who are also taking multiple doses of Diclectin in a day - can you share how you time your doses? And also share how you time your meals? (I don’t really feel hunger now.

2020-01-15Can i be pregnant with out symptoms
2020-01-15Third baby and am 28 weeks now. I was told during my recent checkup that baby is quite big - above average; weighing about 2.1kg and baby is in head-down position already. Doc says it's considered alright as my hubby is big size - not round - at 1.93m (referring to genes perhaps?) and so there might be a chance that I may have to deliver early via csect if baby continues to grow bigger. (previous 2 was csect n they don't recommend vbac) At the same time, I'm experiencing frequent backache and some pelvic pressure. Honestly I'm very much worried IF I were to get into early labour..... The risks for baby born before full term etc..... ? Anyone experiencing similar situation before..?

2020-01-16Hi mummies, I'm exclusively pumping for my newborn and I noticed that lately the supply ha been decreasing. I used to have 90ml from both sides (in my third week post natal now), and now sometimes I only get 60ml from both sides. I drink at least 2L of water and longan red date tea a day and I sleep at least 6 hours. Not sure why my milk is decreasing? There are no clogged ducts also. I have been drinking green papaya soup, eating fish, lactation cookies etc but still the same 60ml yield. :( anyone with the same problem? How to increase the supply again? For personal reasons, I'm not able to latch the baby directly.

2020-01-17My 20mths daughter just started PG on 2nd Jan. School has been calling me almost everyday to say that my daughter is crying and is there anyone to fetch her home coz her temperature is higher like 37.8 or 37.9. The problem its been happening too often, me having to fetch her early due to this. When shes back home, shes back to normal, no fever etc. I assume that prolly shes been crying so her temp went up in school. Up to date she has missed 4 days of sch due to this. I am stressed out coz i will be starting work next Monday onwards and i wouldnt be able to fetch her home as and when the school calls. Is this a normal thing for sch to call every now and then and inquire if i could fetch her home? I enrolled for full daycare PG. Please share some advises, any of you. I am very worried as i will be starting work nxt mon. Thank you.

2020-01-17SOS I am currently overseas and my son seems to have been bitten by fire ants which has resulted in an awfully bad rash / reaction on his feet and now spreading to his hands .

We seen a doctor as well and even after ibuprofen, corticosteroid lotions , anti allergic medicines he is suffering. He is always incredibly cooperative and has pain threshold better than most adults I know but even for him this is too much. Is there any home remedy that can give him any relief at all . He just celebrated his 5th birthday 2 days ago and it’s just awful this should happen a day after his celebrations. Has anyone gone through what I have ? How long does this last ? Especially the intense pain and itchiness ? Thank you

2020-01-17Hi mommies, am wondering if i should delay my pumping intervals for better overall yield. Understand that usually people will advise to keep regular pumping schedule (3hourly) to maintain supply but from what i see from my pumping logbook: For eg, 4 pumps ~ 760ml (more than 5-6 hours kind of interval) VS 5-7 pumps ~ 760ml or less (normal 3 ish hours interval + pumping out extra after DL). LO is one month & im pumping enough + a little bit extra each time and i find myself chasing the clock to make sure she gets her bm. The better yield when my breasts are very engorged gives me much motivation but im not sure if this is harmful to my supply or will cause mastitis in the long run?

2020-01-17I’m currently 35 Weeks 3 Days. However, gynae mentioned that size and weight of baby is 36 Weeks 6 Days.

Are these some signs that labour is coming pretty soon ?

2020-01-18In the year of 2019 I worked till November first week and went into hospitalization leave till 2020 Feb (till I due for birth) after that only I'll be taking my maternity leave and will require me to go back to work mid June of 2020. I didn't get any amount of 13th month bonus but have been receiving my pay during my hospitalization leave. My hospitalization leave for 2019 is 54 days when I'm entitled to 60 days. This year 2020 I'm on hospitalization leave for 45 days and my leaves got renewed. Is it normal for companies not to pay 13 month bonus if their on hospitalization leave? Can anyone advise me?

2020-01-18Hi everyone I really don't know what can I do to make my husband love me again. Our relationship has been very sour ever since the birth of our daughter. Till the extend we are staying separately. We do not have our own place. Our main issue is he don't trust me in taking care of our baby. He sides his parents alot. We had alot of quarrel till the extend he send a lawyer letter to me and wanna have our baby. I tried talking to him many time even recently he told me he don't love me anymore. He gave me 2 choice 1. To move back and stay tgt be the parent to our baby that's all. Or he will fight for our baby. I really love my hub alot. I wanna keep our family tgt. But I really can't live with my in laws anymore. They are the issue to majority of our issues. And I don't know how to sleep beside someone who no longer love me. How can I make my hub love me again? How can I make him want this family again? I really don't know what should I do.

2020-01-18My 14 month old is a fussy eater. He loves trying new foods but after two bites refuses to eat. He also refuses to sit still to eat at the table.

I’m concerned that these are bad eating habits, but don’t know how to change these feeding behaviors! Any tips please? Help!
