Actually young babies like to be carried. Otherwise the Yao lan idea is good. You may want to try using a wrap as seen at this website: http://www.wrapyourbaby.com/ If you are able to do a back carry, you can put baby behind your back and can do housework. Unfortunately baby wraps are not...

You may also want to add some books to your shopping list/reading list, so that you can have more ideas on being prepared for baby. Of course take the advise in the books with a pinch of salt if you do not agree with it. Can either borrow from lib or purchase from bookstores. I would...

Expecting my 2nd child. Due on 13/14th Jan 2011 :)

Do look on the positive side and not treat it as a setback. Parenting is a learning journey. You can start to focus on the after birth which is much much much much more challenging :) There will be emotional ups and downs, handling to sleepless nights, irritating comments from relatives and...

I had two doses.In fact after the top up, I couldn't really feel the baby coming out and it was difficult to push coz it's so numb.Had to have baby vaccumed out after crowning.Couldn't feel the urge to push. After that you will have to be in bed for 10 hours before you can get down to walk...

Wow, you mean the wound can hurt until after so many years?My wound still hurts occasionally when squatting to carry my child of 1 1/2 yrs. And from the posts I read, you must be very brave to not take any pain management procedure. I took epi mainly because I remembered that most doctors...

A note is that you must inform your doctor if you have any allergies to avoid any occurance of anaphylactic shock(severe allergic reaction), which is very serious.

This liquid is called an Enema. I suppose some OBs will order an Enema to avoid having the patient empty their bowels during the actual pushing.But you must note that after that, you can't eat anything.

Actually if the cradle cap doesn't really bother baby, just let it fall out natrually. Trying to remove it the wrong way may result in intense pain for baby, because you must remember that it is part of the scalp. Just try to bear with it, and it will come off eventually.(usually by the time...

Hui Min,frankly there will be no end to all these unless you move out or start to set limits.Your husband needs to be supportive too.You may want to consider setting limits like not having them enter your bedroom, so you have a private place to retreat. Get your husband to convey the message,so...

Depends on how open minded you are, as with all other mummies who have posted here! :) The method most mummies use ->one spoon for baby, one for you works very well. Have the lowest expectations to begin with and start with food like puree which is easy to scoop.Note the food may not always...

Many confinement practises like not bathing and not drinking plain water are all hearsay which are inapplicable in our current society. The reason why people did not bathe in the past was due to poor quality of unboiled water, which may affect the healing of wounds. I am unsure about the...

No problem. I am sure all parents worry. From age 0 to 12 months it's always the physical growth,sleep and eating which top our list of worries. Then at toddler age it's the speech,eating and potty issues. After that it's a lot about discipline(no spanking) and many other issues all the way...

I think it is up to the individual to decide, but it isn't necessary. Children will eventually learn how to walk with or without the walker.My gal walked at 13.5 mths and never used a walker. Walking happens when the child is physically ready. All you need to do is to give encouragement :)

Thanks thanks!Do all mummies feed your kids or do you let them self feed?

Any parents can recommend their methods? My girl will sit. After 5 mins she wants to get out of her chair.

Think of all these as outsourcing when planning events with inherited relatives. I had my bb shower at hb's grandfather's house. They wanted to do everything, including buy cakes etc. So i didn't get invovled in the planning or anything. On that day, me, bb and hb went to the house. No clean...

Well compared to other times when most people died at 30 or 40, i do think we live longer. Maybe one of the reasons for cancer now probably due to foods and lifestyles , air pollution and mutation of cells.Not too sure

Think about why we have longer life expectancy now. Better healthcare facilities, better hygine and water If we could all adopt the super healthy diet and lifestyle, that could also prolong our lifespan. For optional jabs, it's really up to the parent. I gave mine pneumococcal. No chickenpox...
