What's best remedy for lower back pains esp in pelvic area? Mine really awful for two days already :'(

Have you tried placing hot compress on it? It might relieve the pain. Also, try using massage rollers, it can help too.

Any parents brought their child for flu vaccination, is it really good for the baby? My lo is 8 mths old, not sure should I give him flu vaccination as he goes IFC since 4 mths old. Although he does not get flu before.

I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to babies and vaccinations. Best to give baby a fighting chance against the flu, even if he has not gotten one yet. I read that the influenza virus mutates constantly so you'll never know when a particular strain will hit your baby hard. Children who are 6 months to 8-years-old would require 2 doses of the vaccine. For first timers, the second dose needs to be given a month after the first one. Here's a very informative article about the flu vaccination and the various benefits, concerns and side effects: http://sg.theasianparent.com/flu-vaccine-side-effects/

How many here use cotton wool n water (not baby wipes) to clean newborn for the first mth?

I’ve came across this study which investigated the effect of using baby wipes as compared to using cotton wool and water in the first 4 weeks and the study found no difference on the hydration between the two methods. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3418152/ I would say my friends all used a mix of both. Wipes are convenient during nappy changes. Especially for my friends who are first-time parents.

Hello mummies. I recently sent my then 14 week old daughter to an ifc just before my maternity leave ended. She just learned how to flip when she was 18 weeks old. (For the record, I have also stopped swaddling her long time ago since she was abt 2.5months old). However the IFC teachers recently tell me that they have always been swaddling her so that she can sleep 'better'. In fact.. the better meant she can sleep as long as 2.5hr to 4.0hr during day time when she is at IFC. Back at home, her naps are always between 30mins to 1.5hr max, never exceeding 1.5hrs. Was wondering if any LOs out there also nap as long during daytime back at home or over at IFC? My worries: 1) I prepare 3 bottles of EBM for 3hrly feeding, but she always drinks at most 2 bottles during the 9hrs she spends there! So the IFC teachers always defend to say, sleep is good for baby's growth and development, so we don't wake her up. 2) Isn't it said that once baby starts to flip/roll over, they should no longer be swaddled? (I did make it known to them abt this milestone). 3) Is something not right that my baby sleeps unusually longer over at IFC? Or am I just over worrying? Please share your thoughtsnand experiences with me. Many thanks!

My 9month LO recently 4-5days only poop once. Is it normal? Consider serious constipation? She is breastfeeding and solids now. I will give her water after solids (about half cup of water each day). Is it enough? as breastmilk contains lots water too.

Hmmm doesn't sound like constipation. Have you fed baby anything new recently. Sometimes if there's something new, baby's system will take time to get used to it and this could be the reason why baby is taking a while to poop. What kind of solids have you been feeding your little one? Maybe if you included more greens and fibre, it will help move things along down there. Reckon that as long as baby is not showing pain or signs of discomfort, all should be well.

My 2.5 weeks old newborn is waking up every 1.5 to 2 hours after latching for 30 to 45 minutes (alternating breasts when he unlatch himself). However, when He's given medela calma bottle (80 ml), he's able to last 3 to 4 hours. His diapers output are ok. When I pump out At his feeding time (when replace with bottle), I get -about 100ml each side. Wondering is it sign that he's not getting enough from latching and I should change to bottle?

Sometimes baby want to have comfort latch which happens to my baby too. If you notice, they don't suckle throughout the 30-45mins which means they aren't drinking for so long. Majority of the time is dat they are sleeping dat is why we have to disturb them when they drink to ensure they r drinking enough.
