I went to NUH for my routine check-up and had my baby delivered in NUH too. As I have 100% trust in my gynae, I never bother to go to another hospital.

Being a mum makes me to build up my patience. I was never a paranoid person before pregnancy and this has not changed even after being a mum. Kids will trip and fall down, bang on stuff and this is just part and parcel of life. So long my girl does not vomit after a fall or runs a high fever...

I believe you only have slight yeast infection, that's why your gynae only gave you one tablet. My SIL who is prone to yeast infection, the gynae gave her an injection on the same day where she was in the labour ward. If you still feel uncomfortable, just give your gynae a call and check if...

This happens to all the babies. If the numerous times of crawling out of bed is really disturbing your sleep and causing backache, then you can try sticking 2 sides of the pacifier with 2 tiny pieces of masking tapes and then gently tab the pacifier (with the masking tapes) to the cheeks of...

Hi congrats on getting pregnant. I will suggest you to seek 2nd opinion. Do take note that usually fetus/sac can only be seen during the ultrasound scan is around 6 weeks. So based on your own calculation, if fetus is only 3-4 weeks old, then I am not surprised that it is extremely small...

I am not sure if this is doable. I believe your baby starts to identify the house/place which happens to some. Try to bring your baby to visit your neighbour, in-law, sis/bro for 2-3 hours daily and see if he will slowly feel comfortable. My girl behaves this manner too when she was 1-4 months...

How many people are there in your family (e.g.those staying with you and your baby)? Did you just start to bring your baby out? Is your baby rather timid and afraid of loud noise? Do you have a habit of rocking and carrying your baby most of the time or until he falls asleep? Do not give your...

I believe it is likely to be a 'terrible twos' thing. My sis-in-law has a son who started having terrible twos just before age of 2 and lasted a few years. Only at about 6 his behaviour has improved. I will not term this as social/behavioural problems and not so serious as a meltdown. Kids at...

Did you just feed your toddler rice and porridge? Try to be creative in the choices of food. I have been giving her macaroni, baked pasta with cheese, noodles (my girl particularly like udon and 'lao shu fen'). My girl loves soup, especially those herbal type. So usually with a bowl of rice, i...

My little girl is 19.5 months old now. When I bring her to the shop, I will let her participate in choosing her new outfit. When I show the new outfit to her infront of the mirror in the shop and she pull it away, I know she doesn't like it and will not purchase the piece. Before I change my...

Try reducing milk to 100ml and in the morning and night feed, at 1/2 teaspoon gripe water. Observe your baby for the next 2-3 days and if the colic doesn't improve, try switching to another milk powder. Colic condition will be improved eventually (usually around 4-5 months), that's you can...

Is NAN normal formula or the special type? As the formulae are from 2 different companies, I wouldn't recommend to mix them as it might cause tummy discomfort to your baby. If you like, of course can still go ahead to mix these 2 brands of formulae and observe how your baby's reaction. Enfalac...

I read from somewhere that after the MMRV jab, there might be some red spots and the jab area might swell a little with some soreness for about 7-8 days. I will stop my child from taking rice or porridge when she is running a temperature until it has subside. Of course, she will be hungry, try...

Hi, is your baby still running a temperature? How old is she? Did you feed her food like porridge and/or rice ever since she started to have a fever?

I just take out the fresh milk from the fridge and served it to her. She can stomach it and no diarrhoea, so I suppose she is fine with it.
