    How do you praise your child's effort?

    i read somewhere that you must praise for his efforts and not his ability. for example, let's say a child score full marks for a maths test, praise him for working hard and practicing maths questions, but not praise him for being smart. How To Give Children Encouragement & Praise |...

    Single-Breast Feeding and other questions

    i didn't massage or wrap. i find it a waste of money. it's a luxury, not a must. =) it goes back to normal by itself (maybe it takes longer than if i wrap, i don't know!).

Now after reading this thread, it makes me wonder...

    Settling vs marrying for love

    I think the first step to start loving him to bits is to stop thinking of better guys out there and comparing to your husband. You knew what you have gotten yourself into when you first married him. So I can say just compromise. Get into his world. Don't focus on his bad points but his good...

    my baby drinks little but many times!

    4-5 weeks.. it increased my supply actually. not sure if i'm the exception. lots of people say latching is the best way to increase supply and pumping reduces supply.. not for me though.. i do pump many times. every 4 hours. even when i sleep, i'll wake up and pump once time is up.
