Hi mummies & mummies-to-be. I’m currently 39w1d. No signs of labour yet other than mild cramping & tightening. Exercising everyday, moving around alot at home and still no signs. My next appt is this coming friday. Gynae told me that she hope ill be in labour before the appt as she said my belly is too big already. Which i dont even know what does “too big” meant for her. Should i be worried? Or is there anything else i can do to start labour? I dont want to get induce

if i want can try the dates drink or sex, semen helps relax the cervix

Skipping 1 pump cycle

I’m 8 days PP, started pumping at 6 days PP as direct latching is too hectic for me. Tried hand express too but caused my hands to lose strength. I noticed my supply decrease over the cycles of pumping the past few days.. despite pumping every 3-4 hours. I’m sleep deprived and want to skip 1 pumping session at night. Will there be any issues if I do so? FTM here… my supply used to be around 80ML per side. Now it’s down to 50-60ML. My LO requires min 60-70ML per feeding and waking up for milk every 1.5 hours. I’m so drained and unable to keep up with the schedule.

Yes. Especially night sessions which you will yield more, if you drop that session, it’s gonna signal your body that you don’t need it that supply. No demand = no supply. If it’s too draining for you, you can do mixed feeding. Don’t have to force yourself to do full bm, because if it stresses you out (due to lack of sleep), your supply will drop too. I personally only transited to full bm at 1.5m. Or try to talk to hub to get him to do night feedings alt days. I used a handsfree pump which I find that it works better for me even thou it pumps shorter (20mins). I am not blessed with a good supply, so I had to try alternatives to push my supply up. I took sunflower lecithin and most importantly, spam more water. Use your phone while pumping if you need to stay awake or distract yourself. Goodluck!

What do babies learn at infant care?

Does infant care 'auto promote" your kids to playgroup level when they reached 18 months or you have to find another playgroup at another centre again?

Auto promote, then N1 & so on. The school will prioritise in house kids before offering others (those that did not join IFC at their school).

Hi mummies Any of you DID NOT send your infant to infant care centre ?

Because you or your parents can take care of baby ? If don't send baby to Infantcare, will the baby lose out in terms of socialising and learning new skills? What does a baby learn in IFC? Please share your experiences 🙏 Much appreciated to hear your views please 🙏#firsttimemom #advicepls

i didn’t send until 18months old. don’t expect baby to learn much in ifc.. even Playgroup age is just to play and socialize. but it does make transition to future schooling easier. else the difference is minimal and they still can catch up.
