2.5 month old sudden change in sleeping and feeding patterns

For the past 5-6 days, LO has suddenly been waking up crying after very short naps (less than 30 minutes) or almost right after putting her down. She still sleeps well at night though. We figured she just wants to be carried since she's been taking her usual 100ml feeds every three hours or so. For the past 24 hours though, LO suddenly drinks only 50-60ml per feed on average. This time, she either sleeps (way) past her usual feeding time, or still has those super-short naps and wake up crying. Is this typical of a growth spurt? Or is this something to worry about?

it’s normal, typical

BCG vaccination

Hello mummies, i realised my lo bcg vaccination scar is on the right buttock not on the left. The hospital had made a mistake by giving the vaccine on the wrong buttock (we agreed for it to be on the left buttock). They even documented the location to be on the left buttock in the health booklet. What should i do? I am quite annoyed at the number of mistakes they are making. Upon discharge i also realised that the information entered into healthhub is wrong. In the discharge summary, the info stated caeserean birth when it is supposed to be normal delivery and the gestation date was wrong. I emailed in and called in several times before they got to it and amended it. Even after amending, the gestation date was still wrong and i had to call in again. I am quite concerned with the amount of mistakes they are making and i am not sure if i want to bring this (wrong bcg vaccination location) up to the hospital.

Email the hospital again as well as [email protected] pertaining all the wrong information and raised your concern. This include what was being agreed with the BCG Vaccination. Why was all the information keyed in was incorrect? Feedback to the relevant department and get back to you ASAP. This might be human error but definitely should not be repeated and therefore, what was not agreed verbally as well as signed should be done properly. If there's changes, they should come back to you before doing it.

Sleep Regression

Does 10 weeks old baby has sleep regression? My baby suddenly doesn’t want to sleep and only sleep in short naps. Before this she slept really well, sometimes up to 6 hours at night. But now she kept waking up every 1-2 hours

Diarrhea in infant

Hi.. Need help.. My child infant having Diarrhea for more than 3days with swollen butt.. Went to kkh A&E this morning and was treated like as if its my fault that my baby sick.. The doc was abit cold towards us the whole time.. And was told that no medication for my baby and to just give probiotic and cream for the swollen rash.. I went to the emergency rather than kids clinic as I know emergency is way advance and will have a way to stop the Diarrhea.. But I am so disappointed. 😥😥😥 My baby has been pooping almost every hour or min.. 😥😥😥 I am so clueless what to do..

Hi Mummy, sorry to hear about the treatment at KKH. For a start, perhaps you want to follow the advice given by the Dr to take the probiotic and apply the cream religiously. Is your infant on formula milk? If she/he is, maybe you want to consider changing the formula as it may be one of the reason why she/he is having diarrhoea. It could also be due to virus which will go away on its own. Hope you little one is doing fine by now!

LO Sometimes drink less sometimes more

My 7weeks old son sometimes drink 2oz, sometimes 4oz every 3 -3.5 hours interval, is this normal? We tried to let him finish the FM but he will push away and start crying if we try to put bottle teat into his mouth. We are worrying the inconsistent feeding :(

Below 2 months, not all babies will have heavy pattern of drinking milk. It is okay if it is inconsistent. They still trying to adapt the proper milk intake. As long as they dont lose weight at every check up, meaning baby doing okay. For me, I get worried too because my second child dont latch alot unless she's really hungry for milk. That being said she will constantly spat alot of milk. But, it is normal because she gain weight from her last check. Also, baby still trying to also adapt outside world and gets sleepy easily so don't overfeed nor underfeed. Try to see your baby sleeping/waking up time to adapt to feeding pattern.

2 months old teat size

My baby is 2 months old and most of her bottle feeding has been a battle with her. She drinks 100ml in average however have to takes multiple burp breaks as she will suck cry kick halfway through and that will take an hour for her to finish her bottle. Any advice for me as ftm so that she can be less fussy during feeding? By the way she’s already on pigeon size 2 teat and unsure if it’s too much to let her try size 3 which is way beyond her age. #firstbaby #pleasehelp

You might want to do some changes to her ml but up her number of feedings. For example, if she currently drink 100 ml and 6 times a day of feeding then change it to 80ml and 8 times a day feeding. You may want to see changes if she drinks better. Or perhaps stick to the number of feeding but reduce her ml. Not all babies intake will be the same and not necessarily you need to change bottle teats too. It can also be that it is a growth period that they suck cry kick fussy when drinking milk at times. To me as long as they drink well, not murder cry, not much of bloated tummy, poop colour is good then I am happy. But, if I am in doubt, ill QnA with doctor during check up and ill google where necessary. This is what Ill do even with two kids. Because not all kids are the same. Hope this helps 🥰

2 months check with PD?

Understand that baby will go through one month check and three month check following MOH guideline, however does any of you bring your baby to PD(private or public) for two month check? #firstbaby

i only brought my baby to polyclinic for vaccinations as per the dr orders. they checked his height and weight and head circumference to ensure he's growing well. but I don't think its necessary to bring him for checkup if he is doing fine like drinking well and pooping well etc.
