Dark Green Stool

my 2.5 months old baby’s stool is dark green and a little runny like this. shes mixed feed, both formula and breastmilk (latching). usually its yellow, but i notice it becomes this clr only when she drinks my thawed frozen breastmilk. is it normal?

Dark Green Stool

Dark green stools can happen when baby's digesting breastmilk a bit differently, especially thawed frozen milk, and it's usually nothing to worry about as long as she's acting normal and gaining weight okay. That said, since you've noticed the pattern with the thawed milk specifically, it might be good to bring her to see the PD just to rule out anything, and they can also advise if there's anything about storing or handling the expressed milk that could make a difference. In the meantime, keep an eye on her wet and dirty nappies, feeding cues, and how she's settling after feeds.

Experienced delivery in Mount.A hospital

If anyone gone through delivery in Mount Alvernia Hospital ? Could any one share experienced ?

Eh, got a few mummies in my circle who delivered at Mount A, so can share a bit lah! My friend Sarah went there last year and said the nurses very warm and supportive one, she felt quite at ease even though first-time mum, and her hubby could stay overnight in the room with her and even got fed, which she really appreciated. Someone in my mum WhatsApp group also mentioned the environment feel more homely and less "clinical" compared to other private hospitals, so good for those who want a more cosy feel during delivery. My neighbour brought her baby there and said overall pleasant experience, and she found it quite cost-effective compared to some other private options, though of course still private hospital pricing lah. Some mummies love it no issues, but a couple mentioned the ward can get busy at peak periods so service might vary a bit depending on timing, so maybe worth checking with your gynae how things are on that end. Overall the general feel from ppl I know is quite positive, so not a bad choice to consider!

6.5 months baby refusing purées

Hi, 2nd time mom here! Anybody’s baby rejecting purées and prefer harder textures like a drumstick, mango pit etc.? My firstborn loves his purées at 6pm the and moved on to more textured food and BLW by 9 months. But my 2nd born is so different. He gives off a disgusted look whenever I feed him purées and seems to like the tougher texture food. Any tips?

Expired vitagen

Hi! Any idea if there would be any risk if I consumed expired vitagen? Have been drinking it for the past 2-3 weeks and having diarrhoea. Initially thought that diarrhoea was caused by the milk taken until my helper told me that the vitagen expired 1 month ago.. 😭 (my bad for not checking expiry date before consuming stuff) I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant (4 months pp). Should I see a doctor to be safe? 😮‍💨

Baby won't sleep unless latch

Baby is 4-5months old. She wakes up often at night and only go to sleep when i latch her. Any tips to make her fall back asleep by herself?

Are you giving pacifier? Pacifier can help the baby to soothe herself back to sleep.

Feeling lonely at night postpartum

Hello mummies! I delivered my baby 1.5 weeks ago. Because of my low milk supply, i decided to latch baby on demand to boost my supply and to pump, including night time. I can’t help but feel like i am all alone in this world at night when i am trying to settle baby to go back to sleep. I feel helpless and lonely, like i am fighting this low supply war all by myself. Anyone feeling this way too?

For me im felt happy at night pumping without anyone disturb me.. maybe u can try watch tv while pumping coz i do that too.. if u want to boost yr milk try fenugreek..

Induce or wait naturally?

Any ladies here planning to induce? First time mom, am 38 weeks and feeling so tired already.. should i just wait to induce earlier or wait for my edd? Heard inducing is more painful than natural self induce..

wait for your EDD. not just inducing is more painful (because it forces contractions), it can also lead to more complications (like Emergency Csect because not everyone reacts well to the induction meds). If there's no medical requirements, or gynae's advise, please wait for your EDD, that's when your baby is ready to be out himself
