Spend less, save more for your future!

A few of us mums have been looking into this actually, and it is good to plan early especially when you have kids and expenses just keep going up. One of my mum friends signed up and said the advisor was quite helpful in breaking down realistic saving goals based on her current spending. Worth checking out if you want a clearer picture of your finances lah.

Stand a chance to WIN a Pearl Series Water Dispenser (worth $2,188) by Livingcare!

I would love to win this for my family because we have been going through so many plastic water bottles every week and I really want to cut that down for the sake of my kids growing up with better habits. A few of my mum friends have been raving about having a good water dispenser at home, saying it makes such a difference for getting the kids to drink more water throughout the day. Fingers crossed this could be ours!

Mother's Day 2022 #MumHacks Contest

Parenting can be hard! So when you ""discover"" easy hacks that make life easier, it can feel like a win. 😍 Now it’s your turn to share your #MumHacks for a chance to win a Mama’s Choice Hamper.

Mother's Day 2022 #MumHacks Contest

One hack that a few of us mum friends swear by is prepping and freezing individual portions of baby food on weekends, so on busy weekday evenings you just thaw and serve without the stress. Another one that saved me so much time is keeping a small ready bag by the door with all the essentials like diapers, wet wipes, and a change of clothes, so you are never scrambling when you need to head out fast lah. My friend also started doing bath time right after dinner instead of before bed, and she said it actually helped her little one wind down better for sleep. Small changes like these really do make a big difference when you are in the thick of it.

A Mum had a secret abortion

She also shares why and how she chose to keep this a secret. Read on to know more. https://sg.theasianparent.com/mum-kept-her-abortion-secret

A Mum had a secret abortion

This must have taken so much courage to share, and I think a lot of mums out there have carried something similar in silence for years. A few of us in my own circle have been through really tough reproductive decisions that we never spoke about openly, and it does not mean anyone made the wrong choice. Every woman's situation is different and deeply personal, and I am glad this mum found a way to process it on her own terms. Thank you for sharing this here because it helps others feel less alone.

SSO application

Hey there! Just wondering , to those who had applied for short term SSO online and have gotten in touch with your officer respectively, may I ask were you asked to download any action plan form and to be submitted with your other documents that they need? I've submitted all documents needed and the only thing I couldn't find on the portal was the action plan form. E-mailed my officer but she hasn't reply yet 😅 I tried checking the portal again today but still no action plan form to be downloaded . Also , roughly how long did it take for yours to be approved? Thanks.

Hi there! A few of us have gone through the SSO short-term assistance process and from what I've gathered, the action plan form is sometimes something the officer prepares together with you during your interview or home visit, so it may not always be available for download on your end, don't worry too much if you can't find it on the portal. If your officer hasn't replied yet, one mum friend of mine actually called the ComCare hotline directly at 1800-222-0000 and found it much faster than waiting for email, and they were quite helpful in clarifying what documents were still needed. As for approval time, it really varies, some mums in similar situations heard back within a week or two, while others took a bit longer depending on how quickly the officer could process everything. Hope yours comes through soon, hang in there!

Stretch mark cream or oil

Any recommendations for stretch mark cream or oil?

A few of us tried different things during pregnancy and honestly the most common ones that kept coming up were Bio-Oil, Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Oil, and the Clarins Body Treatment Oil, Bio-Oil especially has a good reputation for stretch marks and even won an award for it, so that one seems pretty well-tested. One of my mum friends swears by the Clarins combo (the oil and the cream together), says it kept her skin feeling elastic throughout her third trimester. If you prefer something more targeted, the CosIQ roll-on serum is convenient because the applicator helps you massage the area at the same time, and Pigeon's Natural Botanical Cream is worth a look too if you want something with a cream-to-oil texture for intense hydration. The key thing most mums agree on is starting early and applying consistently, that seems to make more difference than which exact product you pick!

Postpartum bust treatment

Hi, does anyone have contact for good home based buat treatment to prevent sagginess from bf-ing?

Totally understand the concern, so many of us worry about this after breastfeeding and you are definitely not alone in asking. I don't have a specific contact on hand right now, but maybe try asking in the confinement nanny or postpartum massage groups on Facebook as a lot of mums there share home-based therapist recommendations. You could also check with your postnatal massage auntie if she knows anyone who specialises in bust treatments lah, they usually have a good network. Hope you find someone good soon!

Issues with MIL

My husband just told me that my mil complained that it is so difficult to meet the grandson. We always try to go every weekend but last month I lost my second baby at 17 week and went through a traumatic situation and the cremation of my baby .Hence I did not go over for a month cause I wanted to be alone. Till now I can’t get out of the sadness. Last week my mil family came from Malaysia, I already made an effort to meet up with them. I feel like every time she doesn’t see the effort I make and keep complaining only. I don’t know how to deal with her anymore and my husband only says I keep grabbing on to things….#pleasehelp #advicepls

I really feel you on this, and I want you to know that what you went through, losing your baby at 17 weeks and going through the cremation, is an incredibly painful thing that no one should have to face alone. The fact that you still made the effort to meet up when her Malaysian family came over shows so much strength, and it is not small at all. Please be gentle with yourself right now, your healing has to come first, and any loving family member should understand that. It might also help to let your husband know that you need him standing beside you through this grief, not making you feel like your feelings are too much.
