hihi.. my baby is also having this problem. we did see the doc, and he gave us some cream to apply. other than that, we try to keep his face clean as much as possible, like using a nappy cloth to cover our arms/shoulders while carrying him, so that our skin and clothes don't come into contact...

You can try the Smart Hands iPhone or Android app. You can also read more about it from this site: Baby Sign Language I started teaching some simple signs like 'drink', 'eat', 'hungry' to my girl when she was 6 months.

hi hi all mothers! i'm carrying my second child. looking forward to my baby's coming in Feb.

Hey decoco.. try nudging your baby's chin if she seems like she's falling asleep? Sometimes, she may just be resting. But even if she's only suckling for 10min.. don't give up! your baby will only get better at it. just soldier on. i felt the same way as you when my baby was the same age. i...

Sigh.. I'm already doing that. My girl thinks she's a big girl.. doesn't like puree anymore. Likes food with more 'bite'. And I still have excess BM. Now having headache how to use them, as they're taking up more & more space in the freezer! :tlaugh:

I have been freezing breastmilk to 'store' up for my girl. Now she's coming 9 months, and she's starting to drink less. My daily production is enough for her. What can I do with the frozen breastmilk?

my girl is coming 9 months, and I still bf her, cos I believe it's the best. Also.. it's an opportunity for me to bond with her, something very precious cos she's just growing so fast! One day, she won't want to stick to me, so better treasure it while I can. :001_302:

mummysk & baby_Tigger.. stay determined and keeping bf! When I first started, I only pumped out 10ml. Very pathetic! Slowly it increased, but still not enough to completely bf my little girl. My MIL cooked papaya soup for me, mom cooked fish soup, I also drank sacred tea. They helped...

we live with my in-laws, but my girl goes to my mom's during the day while we're at work, then pick her up at night after work. Reason - MIL works and not always at home. FIL can't look after kids. But occasionally, when MIL not working, she'll look after my girl & relieve my mom from...

my company is small, so no dedicated nursing rooms. i pump in the meeting room. when colleagues sees me go into that room, they all know i'm going in to do my 'mommy thing'. :001_302:

my girl is 7.5 months and she does that too. recently, she drank less milk than usual and sometimes even rejected her milk. got me really worried. now she's slowly drinking more, but it will take up to an hour to feed her sometimes. possible reasons could be: - teething, so fussy with food -...

confinement is really just a period for you to rest your body after carrying a baby for 9 months and delivering the baby. i didn't have a confinement lady. my mother-in-law cooked the confinement food for me, which she learnt from recipe books. other than staying at home, i didn't really follow...

you can go to chinese medical shops, and ask for the herbal bath that is used after giving birth. They now come in bags, which you can easily pop into a pail of hot water. Don't have the name in English, but the folks at the shops should know what you're talking about. I got my herbs from one of...

usual stuff is ok. bread, biscuits etc. 1 week before my confinement ended, hubby brought me to eat Mac's breakfast. I had hotcakes. First time out after giving birth to my girl, and it was the BEST Mac's hotcakes I ever had. :tlaugh:

depends on what you cook. some vege take longer to become soft, like potato & carrot. the food for your baby still needs to be soft enough to be mashed. you can try different kinds of food, eg pumpkin, avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, apple, pear, papaya, etc. for fruits like apple, just scrape...

recently, my 7-month girl also suddenly drank less milk.. about 90ml each time. Got me very worried & continuously scratching my head wondering how to make her drink more, on top of her 2 semi-solid meals. She used to be able to drink between 180ml-200ml. She wasn't sick or anything.. was still...

i tried sacred tea too.. only 2 packs. cos I was too lazy... haha. I just made sure I drank lots of water. Well, that seems to work for me. My girl is almost 8 months, and I'm still total breastfeeding.

I didn't engage a CL, as my delivery period was very near CNY! So MIL did my confinement for me. She read up everything she needed to know about confinement food, and did the cooking. She also woke up at night to feed my girl. It helps to have a can of formula on standby, just in case. We fed...

I went for OCBC - more branches, plus they have Sunday banking, which helps a lot. So far, I think the free gifts are ok. In March, they had a beach toy set, and this month, they're giving away a beach mat.
