KKH doctor Felicia Chin reviews

KKH private doctor

Finding the right doctor for your child can feel so stressful, especially at a place as big as KKH, so you are definitely not alone in wanting to check first before committing. I don't have direct experience with Dr Felicia Chin personally, but a friend of mine brought her son to KKH private and said the overall experience was really positive, the doctors were thorough and made her feel heard. It might be worth asking in the KKH private clinic directly for more details about the specific doctor, or posting again here as other mums in the community may have seen her before lah.

Baby size is too big, can I still drink skimmed milk on a daily basis?

#advicepls #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #firstbaby #worried

Congrats on your pregnancy! A few of us in my mum group had the same concern when our babies were measuring big, and most of our gynae actually advised us to watch our overall sugar and carb intake rather than just switching to skimmed milk. I would check with your gynae or even your polyclinic doctor first before making changes, because they can look at your full diet picture and give you proper guidance lah. One of my mum friends was told by her gynae that skimmed milk is generally fine but portion and frequency still matter, so it really depends on your individual situation.

Thumb up confinement nanny (Hor Yoke Chen)

This review was not requested by my nanny. I personally want to write a good review for her as I find her deserving to be praised. First time mum and i was so lucky to engaged “Qing Jie” (Hor Yoke Chen) !! Initially, I was very worried as I google quite a lot of forum reviews until I saw a review at sg motherhood that someone recommended her. so I decided to give it a try and contacted her. She sound very friendly and mostly of the months was fully booked. fortunately, during my EDD month she was available. Character wise she is very friendly, humble and easy going. She likes to sing and chit chat with my baby. She is not very restricted type of nanny that will want you to follow the traditional type. she is more on half modern and traditional. If anything you don’t like she will respect your decision but she will encourage you to try if is benefit for your health. For cooking part, it was fantastic !!! I love her fish bone soup the most!! She will cook some share to my hubby too.. we alway praise her cooking really healthy and tasty. thumb up!! She is also very hygienic she will wore her personal apron and head cap before cooking. She make sure she clean the kitchen and washed all the dishes before she went to sleep. My kitchen is always clean and neat. What worry me the most is feeding part as I worry if my nanny was lazy and over feed or feed too less to my baby. Thankfully she is very particular about feeding and she will record down baby drinking amount and timing on her personal paper chart. She is also very encouraging on breastfeeding if you have milk supply, she will warm and feed breast milk first then add on formula milk if baby not enough which is more troublesome but she did this every feeding. She also encourage latch on and teach you how to let baby latch in a proper way but if you unwell or uncomfortable and do not want yo latch on she will respect you too. She is very patient to baby she feed slowly and burp baby in between. Overall how she handle baby is really professionals like a baby whisperer she know what exactly baby want! If you have any questions like you like to know food recipes or any techniques on handle baby she is very generous to teach and share will all the information to you. You can see she work with passion and she really love baby. 很有爱心。 If you looking for trustworthy confinement nanny you may WhatsApp her at 9391 0120❤️❤️ From Hougang mummy Singapore

Thumb up confinement nanny (Hor Yoke Chen)

A few of my mum friends have been looking for a good confinement nanny and I actually heard similar positive things about Qing Jie from someone in my circle who engaged her, said the cooking was incredible and she was so thorough with tracking the baby's feeds. Will definitely be saving her number to pass around lah, good nannies who are passionate and not too rigid are really hard to come by these days.

Runny nose at 38 wks.

Can u all share what is best to get rid of runny nose? Beside of visiting the doc to get med.

being so close to your due date and still having to deal with a runny nose is so uncomfortable. When I was heavily pregnant, I found that doing steam inhalation with just plain hot water in a bowl helped to clear things up a little, and sleeping with an extra pillow to prop myself up made breathing at night so much easier. Staying well hydrated with warm water or a simple ginger and honey drink also seemed to soothe things, and keeping the room cool but not too cold helped too. Hang in there, you are almost there lah.

Hi I want to take HPV vaccine in Singapore where to take and how to take

Hi! You can get the HPV vaccine at polyclinics, private GPs, or gynaecology clinics across Singapore — super accessible! It's usually given in 2 doses (if you're under 15) or 3 doses (15 and above) over a few months. If you're a Singapore citizen/PR, check if you're eligible for subsidies under the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) or Medisave to offset the cost (usually SGD 150–200 per dose at private clinics). I'd recommend just calling your nearest polyclinic first as it's the most affordable option!

Does any mummy here feels this way: I have a very clingy toddler and she wants my full attention most of the time leaving me with little to no time at all with my younger infant. Hence my infant is left taken care by my helper. So much mom guilt and worries that my infant 4 months ++ will not recognise or want me :(

I feel this all the time. I have a 4YO and a 7 month old. Sometimes I have so much guilt not knowing if newborn has any issues that I don’t know about. The juggle is so so hard. We are all in this together mama

Hwo to limit 3yr old screen tim without them crying like hell.

I’m trying to limit my 3-year-old son’s screen time. We agreed that he can only watch at certain times, and I even use a timer so he knows when the time is up. However, when the timer goes off, he keeps asking for more time. Sometimes I would ask him long he wants to watch (like 5 minutes), set a timer he get to start and stop, but when it ends he still wants more and will cry very badly or even throw things. Has anyone successfully limited their toddler’s screen time without these big meltdowns? I would really appreciate any tips or strategies that worked for you.

You just have to be firm and let him cry. Be consistent. Timer rings. That’s it. No more 5 mins. Good to countdown with him. 10 more mins before the timer will ring then we need to say bye to the iPad/tv. Then repeat every 5 min, 1 min. Timer rings. Off everything. Just let him cry. Hug him when he calms down. After crying is done, make sure he picks up whatever he throws

Any reviews for Little Skool-House at Singhealth Tower (OCH) for 30 mth old? Comparing Agora and LSH

Hi, I have already checked out both schools and more keen to LSH due to location. I wanted to check if anybody are currently in these schools and any reviews?

Hi Matthew! 😊 We're also looking at LSH at OCH for our little one and I've done quite a bit of research so hopefully this helps! LSH is honestly a great choice especially if you're working in the SingHealth cluster — the convenience alone is such a big plus when you're a working mum juggling everything. The OCH branch is SPARK certified which gives some peace of mind on quality standards. From what I've gathered from other mummies, LSH's biggest strengths are: The bilingual programme 🗣️ — they really immerse the kids in both English and Mandarin separately, so the language foundation is solid. A lot of parents notice their kids picking up Mandarin quite naturally. Small cohort & low teacher turnover — this is huge for toddlers at 30 months. You want your little one to bond with the same teachers consistently, not see a new face every few months. LSH tends to hold onto their teachers which is reassuring. Learning through play — they don't do worksheets at this age which honestly I think is the right approach for toddlers. Let them explore and learn naturally first! As for Agora, it's lovely too — very personalised with individual learning plans for each child and a really warm environment. But if location is pulling you towards LSH, trust that instinct! Proximity matters so much when you have a sick day or need to pick up quickly. My honest opinion — go visit both again with fresh eyes, spend time observing how the teachers interact with the existing kids. At 30 months, it's really all about whether your child feels safe and happy there. 🥰
