Tips for 2 under 3 kids gg out with 1 parent only

Hi as the title says it. Any survival tips for mumies with 2 under 3 y/o? In general and also when gg out with me being the only parent. My first is 2 years 3 months and 2nd is 1 month old. Begore I gave birth to my 2nd baby, I always bring my 1st daughter out swimming/etc just gor fresh air cos being home too ling can be stressful for both of us esp my hyperactive toddler. But Im nervous bringing 2 kids out especially since my 2nd baby is exclusive breastfed by latch. My first baby I exclusive pump for 6 months and soon swap to formula after that. Any mumies advice would be appreciated. Keep in mind my girst chikd is a extra hyperactive outdoorsy kid who has also started her terrible twos😅

Heyy, honestly just get a good carrier for baby so ur hands free to chase ur toddler around la. For BF just bring a nursing cover and plan ur route around malls with nursing rooms! Also pack snacks for the toddler so she stay calm when u need to latch lol. Start with shorter trips first dun stress urself, baby is only 1 mth so take it slow. U got this 💪

Prof Su li lin NUH

Anyone has experience with Prof Su Li Lin from NUH? I just had my first appointment with her. I personally feel that she’s very rushed but i’m not too sure if its just that day where she has a lot in her hands or she’s generally like that.. #firstbaby

BAD Experience. Su Lin Lin uses interns to do the stitch. Leave big and ugly scare. We will never go for Su Lin lin and NUH again.

Does anyone have this?

I am so sad. My protein in urine might be more than normal during pregnancy and they say i might have some kidney issues. I hope it might just be kidney stones after scanning. If it is kidney disease, idw to be on dialysis in future or at old age.

Hi how are u now , and ur health Did u check yr kidney again??

Toddler throwing tantrums

Hey mummies, I don't know why my toddler is hitting his head against the wall & floor of my home while throwing tantrums. This matter is worrying me as i'm his mother I don't want him to injure himself if he is throwing his tantrums because i love & care about him. I don't know whether i should bring him to see a paediatrician or not even though he seems active & healthy for a 1 year 11 months old but only knows how to babble not talk yet.. My main concern is wanting to know if my son may be a special needs child or not. #Needadvice

perhaps can start by bringing him for assessment in polyclinic?

21mo Not eating meat or veggie in their actual form

Hi my 21 mo is still eating porridge and mee Sua etc. she can eat fruits or corn and holds them well so I don’t think it’s a psychomotor skill. but when I give her meat or veggie in their original form she will say she doesn’t like. She must see them mixed up then she will eat. Is that the norm?

Aiyoh don't worry too much lah, my daughter was exactly like this at 21 months, also only wanted everything "camouflaged" inside porridge or mee sua, cannot see the actual piece of meat or veggie! Her PD actually told her it's super common at this age, something about toddlers needing to feel "safe" with familiar textures and appearances before they can accept food in its original form. Someone in my mum WhatsApp group mentioned that her friend brought her lo to SBCC Baby & Child Clinic at Thomson because she was also worried, and the doctor there said as long as the child is still eating and growing, mixing everything together is perfectly fine, no need to force the "proper" form yet. My friend who went to KKH for her daughter's developmental check also said the therapist told her to just keep offering the food in its original form on the side without pressure, so the child gets used to seeing it, even if she don't eat it at first. Some mums in my group swear by just gradually making the pieces more visible over time, like start hiding then slowly make it a bit more obvious, though a few said their kids still rejected it for months so patience is key lah! The fact that your girl can handle corn and fruits already shows she's doing well, so just keep at it and she'll come around!

App available to teach 2 years

Any recommendations on the Apps which can help to teach toddlers to increase their intellectual and memory?#1sttimemom #advice #firstimemom #toddlers #teaching #smartbabies #SmartBaby

For a 2-year-old, Khan Academy Kids is a solid free option that covers early literacy and numbers without feeling too overwhelming, a few mums I know swear by it for this age. Sago Mini World is another one worth trying, very gentle and open-ended which suits toddlers who aren't quite ready for structured learning yet. Someone in my mum group mentioned Pok Pok, it's less "drill and practice" and more creative play, so if you want something that builds curiosity rather than just memorising shapes and letters, that one has a different feel to it. Endless Alphabet is good specifically for vocabulary, though some parents feel it works better closer to age 3 when kids start picking up words faster. Honestly, the free trials most of these offer are worth using first since every child responds differently, better to test a few than commit straight away.

Growth of 18 months baby

My LO is not growing well as she grown in 1 year. Her height and weight is more or less same for past 5 months. She was higher side on the range in height and weight in mid range for there months before 1 year. After that her height and weight both went to lower side of the range. Any issue? Anything to worry about.#firsttimemom #advice #f1rstimemom #worried

My toddler's growth also slowed down quite a bit after turning 1, mummy 😊 I was worried at first, but my PD explained that growth isn't as rapid as during the first year. As long as your LO is eating reasonably well, active, and meeting milestones, try not to stress too much. I'd bring up the growth chart with your PD at the next visit for reassurance though ❤️
