Car seat / stroller recommendations

Hi everyone! We have our own car and we’re hesitating between getting a travel system or just a car seat that can grow with the baby. Any advice?

Both options have their merits, so it really depends on how much you plan to use the stroller day-to-day versus just needing something for the car. A travel system is really convenient because the infant carrier clicks straight from car to stroller without waking baby, but it does mean you will need to buy a new car seat once the infant carrier is outgrown, usually around 12 to 15 kg. A convertible car seat that grows with the child is more cost-effective long term and can last till they are much older, but you will need a separate stroller for outings. If you drive a lot and also walk around malls or parks regularly, a travel system might be worth the investment early on, but if the stroller will mostly stay in the boot, a good convertible seat plus a lightweight umbrella stroller later might make more sense lah.

Helper woes: setting boundaries

Would like to hear from anyone who has helpers… how do you navigate having a stranger at home? I recently hired a Myanmar helper and with communication difficulties, it’s hard to explain to her about personal space and privacy. She seems to not understand the concept. I’m really bothered to share my space with a stranger. For example, when I’m in the living room and she finishes her work in the afternoon, she would sit next to me on the sofa or on our armchair and stare in space or stare at me and baby. I find it super uncomfortable and also bothered that she chose to sit on our armchair. Yet there is a dilemma that I’m mistreating her if I tell her she can only sit on the floor or in the kitchen. I tried telling her I enjoy my personal space but she doesn’t seem to understand. If I can, I wouldn’t want a helper but circumstances called for it. I’m struggling to adjust and would like to hear from other young mums who hire a helper for the first time. How do you adjust to having a stranger at home and how do set such boundaries with your helper?

I don’t know, is it possible to get a chair for her and tell that that’s her designated chair?

Child education plan

How much money do you prepare / save for future child education? I just moved to SG so I don't really know how much

Super Mom

Are you a citizen/PR/foreigner? The amount required differs depending on the citizenship of the child.

My newborn doesn't let me carry him

Just FYI, I am his mom. I breast feed him at night and bottle feed him in the day time. I change his diapers, play with him, do development with him and put him to sleep. But I want to be like other moms and rock my baby to sleep, carry my baby and talk to him etc. But everytime I carry him, or try to, he screams murder and struggle like mad. I have no choice but to put him down and he will stop screaming but continue crying. Someone has to take over to calm him down. I try every possible way of carrying him to no avail. The only way possible for me to calm him is to put him to my breast - breastfeed him. Everyone else has no issues carrying him - his grandma, grandpa, dad, even a stranger - only me. This makes me very sad. He doesn't even smile much or talk with me. Everytime I try to talk to him he stares at me blankly. His dad walks past and he saw him and he starts smiling and babbling. His grandma and grandpa too. Only me. I feel like my baby hates me.

How to wean baby off the breast

Hi mummies! I have a 23 month old child that i want to wean off breastfeeding. He doesn't seem to be ready but i really want to have some time for myself. I tried reducing his feeds but i ended up having clogged ducts and mastitis. Any tips?

When I was weaning my second one, I found that dropping one feed at a time very slowly (like one feed every one to two weeks) really helped prevent the clogged ducts, rather than cutting back too quickly. Since you've already had mastitis before, it might be worth checking in with your PD or even a lactation consultant, just to get a safe plan that works for both you and your little one.
