Post natal massage oil

Hi, any postnatal massage oil to recommend? One that's not too oily and easily absorbent. Hate feeling greasy after massage

4mo hunger cues

What are the hunger cues for a 4mo now? My baby will make this frustrated "mmmmm" sound when she needs her diaper changed, hungry or tired. So everyday is trial n error. And half the time after heating ebm, she doesn't want the bottle. But neither does she look tired nor soiled her diaper On top of that, she gets v distracted by sights or sounds. Either that, she keeps wanting to sit up during feeding. It's really difficult feeding her now. And when i try to offer her the bottle again, she will cry and kick. Her overall milk intake has therefore decreased Worse, she fights bedtime every night even though she's clearly tired. The only time I don't have to deal w a fussy baby is when she drinks until she KO. Any mummies with similar experiences? Able to share what you did? Any advice would be good to make each passing day an easier one. Most nights i really feel damn defeated and tonight is one of those nights i feel like breaking down

sounds like a growth spurt? my boy was super fussy at that month. He refuses everything and it drove me crazy! It will pass, just give it time.

Swimming for a 4mo

My hubby and I are members of a local swimming club and we would love to bring our 4mo girl to experience splashing in the water. However, I read that exposure to chlorine is not good for babies' delicate skin? Any mummies here brought their LO to swim in chlorinated pools and have no issues? Otherwise, are there any non-chlorinated pools in Singapore that we can go to WITHOUT the need to take up classes?

not sure about non chlorinated pools cos chlorine is more helpful to baby. many mummies have done it during staycays, even with 2 month old LOs

Nipple cream necessary?

Hello all experie ced mummies out there, ftm here. Is nipple cream necessary? Or should I wait till I start bfeeding before purchasing one? If necessary, should I bring it along to the hospital with me?

I will say, no matter if you're breastfeeding or pumping, you'll still need the nipple cream. You may not need it immediately after birth though as the soreness only comes a few days later when baby has latches well. Good to buy now cos I remember I went all crazy during my confinement cos my nips was super sore, cracked and dry and I didn't prepare any cream beforehand. Pregnancy brain made me forget this important thing and this was not my 1st baby 😅

Wash clothes for newborn

How many wash clothes are enough for a newborn? Wondering how many to purchase as I understand you will need cloths for drool, burping and shower?

Super Mom

Hi Serene, I personally bought about 10 pieces. If it’s not enough you can always buy more later. It also depends on how frequently you do laundry.

32 weeks lack of sleep

32 weeks now and i'm starting to experience the lack of sleep phase. Everytime my little ninja moves, i will get woken up and it doesn't help even if I change positions. Back when she was smaller, I could still sleep through it. However now everytime she squirms, it feels like she's trying to break free from my tummy 😅 How do you guys cope?

i’ll give belly rubs and take comfort in knowing that baby is moving and well :) i’d rather the lack of sleep! maybe can try a bit of caffeine throughout the day or small naps

Unmedicated birth

Hello mummies, ftm here. Hoping to have a natural birth without epidural. *Fingers crossed* Mummies who have gone through unmedicated birth, able to share which is the most painful stage? 1) Contractions 2) Pushing and skin stretching when baby's head is coming out 3) Episiotomy/Stitching

after 6cm dilation, contractions become more unbearable. dont stress so much abt having it drugfree. if u need it just go for it!

Sleeping discomfort

Currently 25 weeks. Have been religiously sleeping on my sides since 15 weeks or so. But these few days I am experiencing discomfort. The side that I am lying on will start aching after a while (especially the side butt cheek area). This has resulted me in flipping numerous times throughout the night and hence not getting a good night's rest. Is there any way to alleviate the discomfort? Or is this just part and parcel of pregnancy? 😢

tummy getting bigger and heavier so it happens..cannot just sleep on 1 side. I'll feel numbness

Did anyone experience hypothyroidism or high TSH level during your pregnancy? Was there any food you consume or stay away from to help?

Better to avoid Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips
