Plain Water SOS

I cannot stand to keep drinking ginger tea and red dates tea only. I need plain water. I keep telling the adults that plain water is allowed. However, they insisted on not during the confinement period. Does any of you really avoid plain water during confinement?

I still drink some plain water especially after night feedings.

2 weeks old drinking 90ml

Hi fellow mummies. FTM here. My newborn of 2 weeks is now drinking about 90-100ml per feed and gets hungry within 3 hours regardless of BM or FM. I read that the appetite of newborn between 3 days to 1 month old their appetite should be 60-90ml. It is now only 2 weeks and going to be over 90ml soon. Is this normal? Will this lead to overfeeding? Thanks!

Every baby is different. My baby(girl) takes only 75-90ml while my friend’s baby (boy) is drinking 150ml and still crying for more. You can observe baby, if baby throws up in big amount after drinking, then it’s their limit. :)

38+3 & no signs of labour

Hi mummies, I’m a ftm & I have an appt tomorrow(38+4), can I request for induction? No health issues or whatsoever. But it’s because it’s too tiring for me & I have a hard time breathing sometimes. Not too sure if I am dilated or not either, hoping they’d check tomorrow. If I am, would I be warded?

I went for induction at 38+3 since my last gynae checkup was confirmed to be induced. my gynae gave the go-ahead

Breast milk + Formula

Sadly I do not have enough breast milk supply. So right now what I'm doing is 1st time formula, 2nd time breast milk, 3rd time formula, 4th time breast milk. Am wondering if it's ok to do it this way? Will baby get used to formula and not want my breast milk? I was intending to go back to full breast milk after I have more..

Im doing this too, so far its been 4 weeks n baby is accepting both

Hi mummies, I have just started my breast feeding journey about a week ago. Can I ask if lanolin cream will have any adverse effect if I use it too much too often?

no, it’s safe. you can try using coconut oil instead if you’re worried

Feeding while baby's asleel

I wake my 1week baby up for feeding session every 3-4hours. She's not always fully awake during the feeding session. Is this safe and ok? After feeding, I tried to burp her too while she's still sleeping.

Yup, it’s called dream feed and it’s okay.

Wipe down/ Shower while baby's asleep

Anyone knows whether it's alright to bathe baby while baby's sleeping? Thanks!

I usually wipe down baby when she’s asleep. Shower only when she’s awake.

2nd degree perineal tears

Hi mummies, how common are second degree perineal tears? I recently give birth and had one. I’m hoping the doctors did a decent job even though I’m in subsidised class. Anyone care to share your experience? How was the bleeding? When did it subside? Are there any tips to heal better or any things to avoid?

You have to go back to the hospital and ensure the stitches are done properly. You can use a sitz bath with epsom salt + warm water. Seat for 2 times a day, 15-30 mins. This is to subside the pain and slowly the stitching thread will dry and fall by itself. However, within 2-3 weeks not recover from the period you give birth, then ensure that you have it thoroughly check and proper medicine/spray to heal the tearing.
