My CL was from PEM. She was pretty ok. Very strong Malaysian accent. Not imposing. Her name is yue ying. Her cooking is yummy.

I travelled alone with my baby on the MRT when she was about seven weeks. First two rides, she cried and hollered, irritating all other passengers. She refused to be in the pram. On the third ride, I carried her in a sling and she wailed for ten minutes. By the fourth ride, she was asleep...

Well, I guess everyone reacts differently to epidural. My sister in law had it ten years ago and she is fine today.

If you are undecided, opt for no epidural. If you find the contractions unbearable and you are still less than 5cm dilated, you can then opt for epidural. This way, you still can experience the infamous contractions. If you are lucky and are already more than 5cm dilated by the time you get to...

I do not know if induced is more painful than natural. All I know is that by third hour, it felt someone stabbing every three minutes and that was not even the climax. Geez, I didnt know that epidural makes extra sleepy. I thought all newborns are sleepy because they are asleep most of the...

My birth was induced. Since beginning of pregnancy, i made up my mind not to have epidural. After three hours of labour pain and at least another eight more to go, I finally relented. I will try harder to endure the pain fory next pregnancy

I breastfeed my two month old baby whenever she demands it. On hot days, she suckles only for a short while on a frequent basis, so I guess she must be try to quench her own thirst. In an aircon room, she feeds on longer periods and sleep longer too. Most of our mothers and grandmother...

Hello, three little pigs. Our babies share the same birthday. My baby poos several times everyday, but not as frequent as the first month. How is your baby doing? Any sign of poo?

If you are breastfeeding exclusively, let your baby latch whenever and as long as she wants. When i first started breastfeeding, my baby suckled for one whole hour every two hours. Remember, the more she suckles, the faster your milk comes. Pumps help, but they are not as good as your baby. If...

I use the wii fit device as a weighing scale. It has a baby mode.

Well, my baby is six weeks old and she behaves like your daughter too. I have to latch her on several times because she pulls back. She struggles sometimes when I try to latch her on again. I keep trying until I make sure she has a full feed. Sometimes, she'd cry her lungs and I latch her own...

My baby feeds very frequently and my milk is just enough for her. But I would like to express more milk so that my husband can feed her too. (He wants to feed her very much.) I know that that regular pumping can increase milk supply, but how often is regular? I am already feeding her on...

That pd is strange. I think his knowledge is all research based on formula feeding. I received advicd like that too from so called experienced mothers, but later i found out their babies were formula fed. Total breastfed babies are on totally different schedule. Listen to your baby's demand and...

Hey ladies, thanks for your wonderful insights. I guess demand feeding works better for me because I don't see the point of letting the poor baby screaming her head off out of hunger for an hour. I am sure my girl will work out her own schedule when she grows older.
