What activities did you do with your 3 to 4 month old when they are not feeding or sleeping? (FOC)
My LO is 3 months old now! Other than eat and sleep, he has his wake periods, which is around 30 to 90 minutes depending on the time of the day. During this wake period, what do you mummies do with your LO to occupy the time after feeding or before feeding? For now, after waking up, if LO is not hungry yet, I do about 10 minutes of tummy time with him (or more until he is frustrated or hungry). After feeding, I sit him upright (or carry him upright) for about 15 minutes, and then I dont know what to do already. For now, I put him on a lying chair and talk/chat to him until he is sleepy. If he isn't interested in me talking anymore, I use those shaker toys to entertain him for a few more minutes. I have some toys given to me but they aren't suitable for him yet (Stackers, teethers etc). Then when I absolutely have nothing to chat about or play with baby, then I put him to sleep. But then other than that what do you mummies do with your LO? #firsttimemom #firstmom

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction (SPD)
Since last month, my pubic area near my left thigh joint has started to hurt, and now it hurts quite badly whenever I try to stand up or squat. I told the doctor and he says it's normal, can't remember the reason but something about my pelvis is small and need to expand. Any other mummys got this? How do you cope with this? It's getting more and more painful now that my tummy is getting bigger and bigger... 😢 #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #FTM #advicepls #respect_post #firstmom
Read moreHey gals, just wondering, what are the tasks which I can ask the confinement nanny to do? For example, can I ask them to cook for my husband and guests (if there are guests in my house) other than myself? Can I ask them to do housework like vacuuming the floor, or washing the toilet or changing mattress sheets or doing laundry? Can I ask them to do grocery shopping? Also what would be their usual baby care schedule like? How much time will be taking care of mum and baby? And how much time will they have left to do other things? Sleep schedule? Any example schedule from mums who have experience? Thanks! #advicepls #firsttimemom #FTM #firstbaby
Read moreIs it normal for baby to be kicking and moving violently at 22 weeks?
I read online and by other mothers that at this point it only feels like flutters and gas bubbles, and will feel like real kicks after 26 weeks. Is it normal for my baby to be very active, kicking and moving very strongly at this point (22 weeks) already? My husband can see those very obvious little jabs on my tummy already at 20 weeks and now at 22 weeks my random baby's kicks on my bladder hurts a little and makes me v nauseous. #firstbaby #firsttimemom #FTM
