COVID-19 amidst pregnancy

Feeling quite low after knowing that my colleagues met a COVID-19 patient during our split-team shift. Because of the interaction, MOH has taken my details (pending next course of action). Hopefully everything turns out positively. As a frontline worker, the worst case scenario would be that I contacted COVID-19. Both wife and I have vaccinated, so not too concerned about us getting COVID-19, but I am definitely worried about the elder folks at our home and the ongoing pregnancy at the 10th week (not sure how COVID will affect pregnancy). Just finding an avenue to vent out the worry I have for wifey's pregnancy (this 10 weeks has not been easy for her). Also trying to find support from front-line dads and moms who have faced or might be facing similar situations.

Hey Billy, I may not be a frontliner but I feel your frustration. I hope that baby will be safe and sound and that you and your wife will have a smooth pregnancy journey. 🙏🏻

Hi mommy, though it might not be itchy. But it’s best to bring your baby to a doctor. Hope she’s feeling better. 🥰

HELP! Mummy is shagged.

Why my 5 months old baby is active in the middle of the night? He will wake up every an hour for milk or wants to talk/ play. He had nap for an hour in daytime. What can I do?

is he undergoing some developmental leaps like learning new skills? also I think 1 hour nap for a 5 month old could be a little too little. 5 months old should be on a 3-nap schedule. observe his wake time, he might be too overtired, hence affecting his night sleep.

Confinement nanny cancelled :(

I initially arranged for a confinement nanny through an agency for my first child. But the nanny they had in plan for me last minute had to go back to Malaysia and the agency isn’t able to find me a replacement. They just decided to refund the full amount that I paid. And I’m now left with few options since both parents / families aren’t here with us physically. I was thinking of managing it on my own, maybe getting confinement food delivery, while my husband helps out with the rest of house work & taking turns to take care of the baby. Any tips for first time parents through the first month? For baby & mommy.

I rem there’s a fb group that helps mummies find CL and CL to find mummies (CL are free lance). If you are still thinking of engaging CL.

How many sets of newborn clothing did you get? And do we need that many sets since they grow very fast… #advicepls #firstbaby

Wouldn’t suggest getting too many newborn size. At most only a few to bring baby home from hosp or to see doc for injection. After that baby can wear those one size bigger cos they grow very fast. My boy outgrow his newborn clothes so fast that some are still new.

My baby has never slept through the night since birth. The most he lasted was 4hrs when he was 2 months old. After that he would wake up at different intervals (can be 20 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins, 1 hr, 1.5hr, 2 hr, 3 hrs etc) He also sometimes wakes up too early (3/4am) and can't go back to sleep even though I've tried nursing or rocking him. It took us 2-3 hrs to get him to drowsy state. Now it's worsened cos he started rolling but can't roll back. We've been helping him nap/sleep either by rocking or nursing. He's never slept by himself before. I tried to sleep train recently using the gentle CIO method, by putting him on his cot awake. But he cries even before touching the bed, or stays alert all the way till he becomes bored or upset and cries. I tried to pat him but he just turned hysterical and became inconsolable after some time if I don't pick him up to calm him down. It will take my husband and I hours to calm him down. He's 4.5 months old now and it seems that he has the ability to self soothe (he will suck his hand or toy when he's abit fussy). We also have this bedtime routine where the lights are dimmed, I put on music and read a book to him. But it always ends up with him crying and I rocking him to sleep. I'm wondering if there's a gentler way to sleep train or if I don't sleep train will my baby learn to sleep without rocking soon?

For my girl we just let it happen. My girl used to be like your boy previously. When we put her down to her own cot she will auto wake up no matter how deep asleep she is and cry. So we ended up co sleeping with her and she loves our bed. We are guessing is the smell. We tried music, white noise and reading books to her. Music and white noise works sometimes but sometimes doesn’t. So in the end I stop everything. So during night time no sound only fan sound. Now she’s 14mos we are slowly transiting her to sleep on her own bed. Since now she knows how to hold her milk bottle, every night I will ask her to close her eyes to off the room lights and get her go to her spot for milk (with all her pillow lying properly) and she will either walk or crawl to her bed and lie down for her milk and she will drink and fall asleep. At times she doesn’t sleep after her milk, she will get up and walk around or roll here and there and talk her baby words. At this time, we wont entertain her. We let her do what she wants while we pretend to fall asleep. After awhile she will fall asleep on her own then when she’s in deep asleep will move her to her bed.
