Please do not give supplements to your 1 yr old kid. If I remember correctly supplements should only be given only if recommend by the PD. Yes I do think your child is taking too little milk, but as long as a good variety of solid food is given & child is alert, active and growing well... It...

Hug... Don't worry too much. Stress is very bad for a preggy mum.

I take any dark chocolate from 50% to 80%. hehe yup I have to agree chocolate is so very addictive! But I guess maybe there is some truth to taking a bit everyday while expecting... Coz my bb now 4mth old seems to be smiling & chuckling more than my older boy did when he was 4 mths.

In terms of nutruents, seriously none of the fm comes close to bm. As for taste... have to try it yourself to find out. :tlaugh: For 1year old should be on NAN 3.

I started my 4mth old bb on nestle rice cereal (green one, without milk) for his lunch... but it's mainly milk lol. I mix one & half scoop (using the similac fm scoop) with 80ml of fm. I finish it off with some plain water or milk, fed from spoon. It's jus to get him started on learning how to...

Being a mummy of 2 boys... I still don't understand why does a preggy tummy seem to invite ppl to touch. Honestly I don't like it, unless it's a close friend or close relative. It felt very intrusive. Also I didn't like my younger sister touching my tummy, coz she always rubs it quite hard (like...

Glad to hear bb has recovered! Erm u mean the Gynae cut u again to sew u up?! Omg... Pls do rest & take good care of urself.

Sigh tell me about it... Today went out for the afternoon. My toddler didn't want to hold hubby hands & insisted that I hold his hand while "daddy push didi". Worse was when bb cry & needed me to carry, I one hand carry bb the other holding my toddler... Had to keep up with him while balancing a...

Lol this post is exactly what I had posted in page 1 of this thread!

Get ur hubby to start learning how to soothe bb at home 1st... So next time anywhere bb starts to cry or fuss he can help to soothe her. Having an extra pair of hands really helps. Alas poor me... When either of my boys starts fussing I have to step in. Hubby has been trying but I swear they...

Breaking the waterman actually helps to hasten the contractions, which is why if waterbag breaks have to immediately go hospital. During my 1st delivery, my Gynae break my waterbag for me... Didn't felt any pain or discomfort... Then again I was already having quite strong contractions so maybe...

Wow really sounds like your Gynae skills & professionalism is horrendous! How is bb head now? Hope the scratch has healed up well! If ur wound still hurts, I would suggest to consult another Gynae. Just to make sure it is healing well & the wound is clean. I had natural delivery at TMC...

After I was done with my confinement, I bring bb out whenever I go out. Shopping malls, grocery shopping, restaurants, kopitiam, other ppl houses... Really I don't see why cannot bring. If bb cries or become fussy, don't care about ppl stares just soothe bb & continue ur way. If u ask me...

Chicken pox spots will start on the torso & spread outwards. Also monitor bb for any signs of fever. But as there isn't any medication for infants, even if it does happen... PD can only prescribe calamine lotion.

FM should be around 38 degrees... If u think about why is there a need to make it so warm when breastmilk is body temperature. We just need to make FM warmer because unlike bm, it will cool as bb drinks. So the bottle of fm tt u make should only feel slightly warm against ur skin on the inner...
