We have a 2nd hand Capella brand of pram which was given by a relative.
Our problems with this pram:
1) My hubby is quite tall and therefore his legs kept kicking on the pram's wheels
2) He has to slightly bend his body forward as the pram's handle is low. After pushing the pram for 15mins...
Someone working in infant care told me that her colleagues took up the job as a caregiver not because she loves babies but because she don't know what to do and can't find a job. So she don't care about the babies. She do not practise whatever she had been trained for. She handles the babies...

My baby had so much red dots on his face and everyone said that it's heat rash due to my breastmilk. i felt so sad........but when i bring him to see the paed, doc said it's acne and that i have to keep...
When the baby is ready, start with cereal not Heinz fruit product.
Some paeds has started telling parents to start semi-solid food at 4mths (back to the old ways) as they found out that some babies develop food allergies if they start semi-solid food at 6mths old.
Most confinement nannies doesn't know much about breastfeeding. My horrible confinement nanny even asked me to let my baby suck my nipple as a pacifier so that he can fall asleep faster (so that she has free time to chit chat on her handphone).
If you need help on latch-on or any other...
