My 8.5 months old baby is still not crawling. Everytime we try to engage him. He just doesn’t want to. We are very worried.

Every baby has their own timeline, so try not to stress too much yet. Some babies skip crawling altogether and go straight to pulling up or walking, while others take their sweet time, and it's usually nothing to worry about at this age. That said, it might be good to bring him to see the PD just to be safe, especially if you notice he's not meeting other milestones like sitting up steadily or showing interest in moving around. In the meantime, keep offering opportunities to play on the floor and let him explore at his own pace without pressure.

Not walking yet

My daughter is 13m18d but she was a preemie hence her corrected age is about 11.5 months. She’s not really standing independently yet. Is it normal?

I forgot to share, my LO can stand on her own but not that stable yet.

My daughter just turned 12 months and she’s been refusing to eat her porridge when we serve at dinner time. She only wants to eat certain things like yoghurt melts. We are really worried as she’s not getting enough food or nutrients. Any simple food ideas for picky eaters?🥺

Hello there! try to incorporate, some fresh fruits to her porridge. Babies/toddlers are like that, their tastebuds are adjusting as well. All the best! 🙏🏻☺️

Not drinking much FM

My baby girl is about 10.5 months (she’s 2 months premature so about 9 months) and somehow refuse to drink much of her formula milk. Everytime we wanna feed her she’s like struggling or rolling away very fast. She’s eating her porridge twice a day but when it comes to drinking milk. It seems that she’s drinking lesser and lesser per day. I’m very worried she’s not getting enough nutrition and milk. Is it common?😫😫

We faced the similar issue too. We tried mixing milk powder into her oatmeal, fruit and biscuits to make up for the “loss”. But I believe it’s a phase cause this has happened a couple of times before. Now our 11mo drinks more but requires 2-3 breaks before finishing the whole 180ml.

Fungal infection

Has any mama experience their babies having fungal infection on their elbows, armpits and neck folds? My 4 month old baby has been having redness and dryness on the areas and the Dr said it was fungal infection. :((

Oh poor little one, 4 months is such a chunky stage and those folds trap so much heat and moisture, totally common for fungal infections to crop up there. From what I've heard, the key is really keeping those areas as dry and aired out as possible, so after bath time make sure you gently pat completely dry in every fold before dressing baby, and if you can, let the skin breathe a little before putting clothes on. Someone in my mum group mentioned that their PD prescribed a mild antifungal cream (like ketoconazole) and it cleared up within a week or two, though a couple of mums said they were also given a short course of low-strength steroid cream to calm the redness down first, so it does seem like doctors take slightly different approaches depending on severity. The tricky part is prevention once it clears, since Singapore humidity means the folds get sweaty again so fast, so staying on top of drying thoroughly really does seem to be the long-term answer. That said, since every baby's skin is different and some creams aren't suitable for very young babies, it's really worth going back to your doctor or a paediatric dermatologist to confirm the right combination for your 4-month-old specifically.

Carrying position

My baby is 9 weeks old and has been fussing a lot lately and suddenly prefers to be held in an upright chest to chest carrying position to be soothed instead of the usual cradle position. Is it normal?

Yes it’s normal. cradle likely causes reflux that is uncomfortable. do burp your baby sufficiently

yes because cradle likely causes your baby to experience reflux and it’s uncomfortable. it’s very normal. do burp your baby sufficiently.

Diaper changing

My little one (8 weeks old) keeps crying when it’s time for diaper change and bath time. This started when she came back from the hospital 2 weeks after her birth (she’s a preemie of 33 weeks) until now. Is it she dislikes water? Anyone experience the same thing?

yes it’s normal! because the temperature change is super uncomfortable for babies, they like the warmth. it’s super normal and will pass. make sure water is warm enough.

Heat rash or allergy?

My baby is 8 weeks old but a few weeks back we noticed little red dots on her face area, then gradually it started spreading to her neck folds, chin, chest, arm pit and elbow areas. We tried to apply rash cream on her but it doesn’t seem to be resolving. And her cheeks starts to feel quite dry too. Does anyone also has this issue with their little one?

I just noticed my baby had this too! Think the weather is too hot recently. May be heat rash

My baby is a preemie and I delivered her at 33+1 weeks due to my pre eclampsia. She was hospitalised for 2 weeks before discharging. She’s crying a lot at night now. Is it normal? And how do you sleep train them after the nanny is gone after 1 month? :(

yes it’s normal for babies to cry! babies can’t be sleep trained as such a young age, recommended is 4 months old.
