Hi FTWMs, I'm a SAHM for 2 years already. Thinking of returning to workforce soon and thus looking for a job now. Any mums with similar experience can share how is the job hunting like? Are employers really particular about the gap in non-employment? Do you list the gap in the CV? Some...

I witnessed an incident at a playground today and was wondering what should I do if such incidents happen to my son next time? A 4-5 year old girl (A) was hit by another similar age girl (B). Girl A cried loudly, while Girl B appeared nonchalent. The father of Girl A was there and shouted...

Hi, My son is currently 17 month old. I've been a SAHM so far. I may go back to work after he turns 2. Currently I'm really torn between sending him to 1/2 day child care (drop off) or 1.5hr Playschool (accompanied). He's very active and curious with short attention span, and very bored at...

My son is 14 months. Recently, he has been pooing up to 5 times a day. Used to be 2-3 times but now 4-5 times. Sometimes like mash, sometimes like playdoh. Don't think it's diarrhea since not watery. Is it normal to poo so much and so frequent? He's taking 3 meals and 2 snacks, and around...

Checking with mummies who are still breastfeeding after your kids turn one year old. Does anyone still pump extra milk for cereal or cooking (e.g. scrambled/steamed eggs, rice pudding)? Or just use fresh milk for the cereal and cooking? If still pumping, which times of the day? My supply is...

A quick check on beliefs in handling fever in kids. Do you bring your kids to PD/GP or chinese physician? Do you practise what the PD/GP (western) advises - light clothing, sponging, soak in lukewarm water (when temp goes too high) Or what chinese/old folks believe - cover up in thick...

Is it ok to serve baby/toddler cold yogurt immediately after his lunch/dinner? I think old folks may frown upon this coz not supposed to give cold food after meal? Have been doing so for past week, doesn't seem to have problem. Any mummies do the same thing?

My son is coming to 11 months. Since birth, he has been sleeping in his baby cot. I sleep in the same room with him in a super single bed for ease of nursing and tending him at night and also no need to disturb hubby. Recently, he refused to sleep in his cot anymore. The moment I put him in...
