- 2020-10-05Hi, my lo keeps putting his hands in his mouth and then touches his whole face including the eyes. Now, theres rashes on both his upper eyelids. How do I prevent this from happening?

- 2020-10-05Coming closer to my third trimester and I have been feeling damn tired which i can sleep through the night and i dont have to awake in the middle of night to pee. Is this normal and anyone experiencing the same?
- 2020-10-05Anyone like me facing this? Sleeping about 10+ and find yourself waking up to toilet urgencies at 2-3am, and have trouble going back to sleep. This has affected me quite a bit as it will take me another 1-2hrs before I can fall asleep again. And I have to wake at 7.45am to prepare for work :( Can't sleep even when I leave my phone aside. I never used to have such issue before pregnancy. Is it happening to just me? I've just entered my 6th week and this started happening in the midst of week 5.

Hello mummies!!!

1. Shd i upgrade to medium flow (but it’s for 3m+)??
2. Also is it normal for babies not to drink the full amt prepared consistently ? Like sometimes they may take only 3/4 of it.. should i expect a range of amount instead?#firstbaby #1stimemom #teat #hegen

- 2020-10-06Just got pregnant again after a miscarriage earlier this year. And I am super paranoid about everything. Already told my MIL not to let anyone know in case something happens again, and also because I am a very private person. And she ACTUALLY shared the same sentiments. But few days later the news has already spread through the entire extended family. And I have not even passed the first trimester yet. Do I have the right to be pissed? I feel as though I'm about to explode already. #rants

- 2020-10-06My 1 month old plus baby (week 6) is suddenly crying a lot more than usual especially during (bottle) feeding ebm and drinks less than the usual 90ml. It’s challenging to feed him. Teat size seems ok - using hegen slow flow but make take at least 30min to drink finish and sometimes falls asleep midway. Other than that, he seems very alert these days. Is this his first leap? He is seemingly fussier the past few days. #1stimemom #breasfeedingmom

- 2020-10-08Hi Mummies,
How to train your baby from sleeping in baby craddle to sleep on bed ?
I have to make my baby sleep in craddle first then , I carry her out to sleep with me on bed at night. As she keeps flipping and moving when I try to pat her on bed , sometimes, it takes me 2 hrs to make her sleep and she still can't sleep .
As now she keeps flipping , and she will sit inside the craddle , it's very dangerous . Therefore , I hope I can train her to sleep on bed instead.

- 2020-10-08Hi Mommies,
My 4-month old son has been having diarrhoea for the past 2 weeks. Though not all poops are watery, he poops about 6 times a day (which was what led to me thinking that he's having a diarrhoea.) Been to the paedi 3 times and sent stool for testing and all turned out well. He's on probiotics - Biogaia even before this episode of diarrhoea. Formula wise we are using Similac Total Comfort which is already lactose free and very gentle on the stomach. He's still active, eating and sleeping well. No signs of dehydration. Only concern is really just the frequency and texture of poop. He poops so much that his butt is already quite sore.
Any of you have experienced this? Can you please share if there's anything else I can do? Or is this going to be the new norm because doctor told me so long he's still active & stool test didn't show anything alarming, it shouldn't be too worrying.
I've attached images of his poop.
- 2020-10-08Hi mummies, those who are breast-feeding, any idea what food to avoid? I'm craving outside food but worried about my LO. Thinking of getting tze char (prawn paste chicken, veg, curry fish head). Is this ok? Please share.

- 2020-10-08Hi mummies I'm feeling really torn inside, I need to know if I'm overreacting or not. My family has always been on very casual terms with our helper. She's really good with our daughter so we also treat her like family, I sometimes listen to her talking about her own family and problems. Likewise my husband is also very casual with her. She's 1 year younger than him. He likes to make jokes and pranks so he sometimes plays around with her like jumping out from a dark room to scare her. I am a little concerned about their interactions tbh, but I don't say anything since it's probably just his personality, he's like a big child. But today I felt like he crossed a line.
We were talking about my 10 week pregnancy scan.
Husband: my mother says this baby is a boy.
Me: how do you know?
Husband: because the pee-pee is very big, like sir.
He even referred to himself as sir so it's clearly the remark is directed at the helper. She just laughed and was like oh my god sirrr. But I was completely shocked. I felt it was so out of line and inappropriate. I felt insulted and hurt because he can make such a joke at our helper right in front of me.
I immediately confronted him after, and told him it was very inappropriate and I'm not ok with it. I said if it happened again I would send our helper back home. He basically just said I overreacted and "it's on you for reacting this way". I was at a lost for words. I felt like he just shifted the blame on me and dismissed my feelings. I didn't know what to say to him anymore so I locked myself in the room and bawled my eyes out.
This isn't the first time it happened. A while ago there was an incident where he pranked the helper by pretending his hand was dirty and then swiped it on her face. I already told him I was uncomfortable and he said he would stop, and now it's happening again.
What should I do mummies, I don't know if my feelings are valid or I'm just overreacting. Should I be worried about my marriage? We have one daughter and another baby on the way so I definitely won't let anything happen, but what can I do? Please provide some assurance as I'm feeling really hurt (maybe those pregnancy hormones are contributing also).

- 2020-10-09Hello all, care to share with me your symptoms during the last few days or last week of your pregnancy? I’m starting to feel nauseous and my hands are swelling more every day, my feet too. Walking and sleeping hurts too due to my tummy. Been peeing much, much more than I usually do. Yesterday was my appt and all 3 attempts of taking my blood pressure was pretty high. Doc used a doppler to hear baby’s heart beat and all is well. My EDD is 19 Oct, is it anytime now?
Question1:
Anyone experienced different kind of symptoms or anything I should look out for apart from the contraction timings, mucus plug, water bag leaking..?
Question 2:
And how much walking should I do to help with labour? Should I climb stairs everyday? Also, I haven’t had intercourse with my husband for 3 weeks now afraid I might trigger labour as I plan to carry my baby full term. Also it gets too tiring and heavy to have sex. I’ve read that sex can easily trigger labour and I’m not sure if I should try.
Help please! #1stimemom #advicepls

1) Will there be a cash deposit? How much is the estimated deposit?
2) How much can medisave cover the total hospital bill? Does it include the deposit we placed (if there's any)?
3) In the event that i have to give birth, where should i go in KKH? Delivery suite straight? Or who/what number should i call if my water bag burst, i have contractions etc..? Will they advise me where to go?
4) How much does an epidural cost?
Thank you in advance, and apologies if my questions seem silly, im a first time mom here. 😅
