Return prayers to Zhu ShÈNG Niang Niang

I’ll be returning 100 red eggs to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang this Sunday (21st) at this temple. Tang Gah Beo 6 Bukit Purmei, Singapore 099866

That is such a meaningful thing to do, and I remember how emotional I felt when we did our return prayers for my daughter after praying to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang before she was born. It really feels like closing a full circle of gratitude. Tang Gah Beo at Bukit Purmei is a well-known temple for this, so you are definitely at the right place lah. I hope your Sunday goes smoothly and that the occasion is peaceful and blessed for your whole family.

Can we take collagen drink while healing csec scar? Will it trigger keloid

Can we take collagen drink while healing csec scar? Will it trigger keloid

Oh I totally understand the worry, I had the same concern after my own C-sec! My scar was quite raised at first and I was so scared of doing anything that would make it worse, so I was very careful about what I ate and drank those first few months. From what I've heard, the tricky thing with collagen drinks during C-sec healing is that your body is already working hard to produce collagen to close that deep wound, and if you add more on top, some mums find it can push the healing a little over the edge, leading to a thicker or more raised scar, especially for those who are already prone to keloids. Someone in my mum group mentioned that the deeper the dermal layer is affected (which with a C-sec it really is), the higher the chance of the scar being more reactive, so collagen supplements during that window can be a bit of a gamble. Some mums swear their collagen drinks helped their skin recover beautifully, while a few others felt it may have contributed to their scar being more hypertrophic than expected, so it really does seem to depend on your own skin type and whether you have a history of keloid scarring. Definitely worth having a chat with your OB or a dermatologist before starting anything, especially since everyone's skin heals so differently, better to get a personalised opinion than to guess! Take care of yourself, you're doing great already just by thinking ahead.

Hi, my baby currently at 23 days old. Is it normal for her to latch for one hour? At times she will bf 5min at her supposed 3 hour time , then she will want to drink again 1 or 2 hour later. But at times, she will latch for 1 hour or more yet seems hungry. Do we also need to pump after every feed? As I SAHM, so most of the time i let her latch but if i really need to do housechore ill let her drink formula. TIA

1hr is pretty long. You can do 20 to 30 mins latch, then pump and keep ur stash. If she demands more milk, you can top up with bottle feed FM/EBM alternate with direct latch. She's drinking quite good but sometimes we can't keep up. Letting baby to latch too long or every 15 to 20 mins though she demand is not good. Your nipple will get blister. My first child demands milk every 15 to 20 mins though during her feeding time she drink pretty good. So I will top up with bottle feed with FM and let her have her pacifier (when needed) This is to also avoid her from being overfed and vomit too. You do the feeding time routine and to ensure she doesn't over feed. You can also do house work easily without getting distrupted.

Jaundice remedies

Any formula milk to lower jaundice? Can share

there’s no such thing, jaundice will take time to clear on its own as the organs mature. BM or FM works

Can I still BF?

Hello mummies. My nips are shallow and inverted. I’m currently giving my newborn a mix of FM and EBM. Does any mummy have a successful experience of direct latching? I tried using a nipple shield but it hurts and is more uncomfortable compared to latching. Please help me out!

Yes, I used to have the same problem like you. Fortunately I am able to feed her and until today I am still direct breastfeeding my 2 years plus child. What you do is, take a cloth make it wet with hot water and massage on your nipple, then once it started to pop out quickly feed your baby. You have to do this few times, and then your nipples will start to pop out eventually and will be easier to direct feed. Sometimes you can even massage it on and off.

Hello! I was scheduled for an induction this coming Sunday as this coming Sunday was my EDD. Till now still no sign of labour yet.. I heard and have read a lot of articles regards on induce, how is the procedures? And the pain level? This is my 4th pregnancy, I never take epidural for all my past 3 pregnancy, so I won’t be taking epidural for this too.

All I can say induce can be pretty long and once waterbag broke, contractions can be much painful then normal. Your endurance level has to be high. First child I was induce at 41 weeks more than 12 hrs in labour. Took jab, gas and epidural and give birth next day. If either of those birth plan don't work, it may lead to other like c section, vacuum assisted delivery.

39+2 days - no sign of labour

Considering if I should be induce before week 40, or wait out till week 41? Hoping bb will be out so that don’t have to induce, but no signs… #FTM

If this is your first child it might be long. It depend if your gynae/doctor allow to hold till 41 weeks. For me in NUH they allow to hold till 41 weeks and give me letter for induce if no sign of labour within 1 week. However, for KKH I wasn't allow to exceed 41 weeks since it is my second child. I wasn't induce at 40 weeks 1 day. Give birth next day.
