2yrs old baby refused to chew solid food can advice what the best thing to do.

How to encourage my 2yrs old baby to eat and chew solid food

Aiyah my friend also went through this with her boy, her paed at KKH advised to slowly introduce soft solids like porridge with small soft chunks, then gradually make it less mushy over a few weeks so the child gets used to chewing bit by bit. Someone in my mum WhatsApp group mentioned blending food slightly less smooth each time, so the texture changes are not so sudden and scary for the toddler. My neighbour also said her girl responded well when she made mealtimes fun, let the child touch and explore the food first before eating. But still best to check with your own PD or a speech therapist if it persists, because sometimes texture refusal at this age can have other reasons behind it!

Solid food for LO

Hi all, what should I do if my LO of 5 months doesn't like pureed or solid food ? She sticks her tongue out & tried to puke the pureed I fed her.

Try again after awhile. My LO didn’t like any solids I gave until she was 11mo, especially cereal. She hates cereal but is okay with porridge, macaroni, bread etc.

6 weeks pregnant

Hi mommies, I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant. Went for my appt today and doc said that fetal pole can be seen but there isn’t any heartbeat. Fetal pole around measuring around 4mm (small) thus they couldn’t find any heartbeat yet. They have given me another appt in 2 weeks time. If the fetal pole doesn’t grow and if there isn’t any heartbeat by then, it’ll be considered as a miscarriage. Anyone facing the same thing?

Don’t worry! Usually it’s too early to detect heartbeat on week 6! Best to detect on week 7-8!

Baby don’t want to roll over.

My little girl is over 3 months now. During tummy time she can hold up her head the whole time. She can turn head side to side and stay balanced for longer. If her hand is stuck under her she will raise her shoulder and release her hand to support herself. During tummy time she can turn back to her back as well without much issue. The issue is that she’s not at all trying to turn by herself. She don’t even want to turn to her side. When we turn her to side she turn back, sometimes she even apply force if we try to hold her in that position. She stays on her back so long that in the end she starts crying because her back is hot. Is it normal that kids don’t want to turn over?

It’s normal! My baby boy does not want to roll over or do tummy time, but eventually still managed to do it when he is slightly older! Don’t worry! Different babies different pace. Give some time to your baby. She will roll over when she is ready. You can flag out to your PD if your baby still did not roll over when she is 5-6 months old.

Requesting HL in Public hospital

Hi all I am 34 weeks pregnant. I have a healthy pregnancy, but my body is really weak. My boss doesn’t like the concept of WFH even though my work can be done 100% from home. Travelling is really hard for me. I am on diet due to gestational diabetes, think that’s what’s making everything worse. Is it possible for me to request for an HL from my doctor? I have heard that in private hospitals they give, but not sure about public hospital. Please advise 🙏

It doesn’t matter private/gov hospitals, gynaes usually only approve HL if they think you need it. Try to speak to your gynae about your condition during next visit.

Too much movement?

I am 32 weeks with my 2nd baby, and it’s a girl. (My pregnancy with boy was entirely different so can’t depend on my own experience). The thing that’s worrying me is too much movements at times. Everyone says by this time baby must have a pattern, yes she has a pattern for night. Kind of night time routine. Evening when I have tea, she’ll move, then her gymnastics training starts during our prayer time to bed time. She somehow likes that time, might be because whole family is together. The issue is that she doesn’t have much pattern other than the above time. During the day she’s almost inactive or very low movements, but in between suddenly one day at a random time she starts moving fast and with force. It’s worrying for me, she will continuously kick and move for about 10 minutes at times. I have heard that sudden increase in movement is also something I should look for. Is this something my doctor should know? I am worried thinking if she’s trying to let me know that she’s not happy in there somehow.

Honestly baby movements can vary a lot between pregnancies and even between boy/girl 😅 Usually doctors are more concerned about reduced movement rather than active baby. Some babies just very energetic in the womb 😂 Especially after meals, cold drinks or at night. As long as movement pattern stays consistent and you’re not noticing a sudden decrease, it’s generally reassuring. But if the movements suddenly become frantic + painful or then suddenly very quiet after, can just monitor closely or call your obgyn for peace of mind
