Hi Ladies The carrier may want to get when you have your baby with you. First time mothers best hold baby to test. I use mini monkey sling and Manuka carrier. Can check out youtube on how these works before going down to trial with baby. For the pump, if you are determined to bf, no need...

Hi Just to share my experience. I use PISA and when pumping, the nipple will seems to be elongated. but even when baby latches, the nipple will also be pulled longer. Same with other brands. So far I have no issues with PISA and it is good and reliable. I leave my pump in office and bring...

hi, this is normal :) my nipples darken and the aoela became bigger in area too. in fact the whitish dead skin may be dried milk/colostrum... it is our body preparing to produce milk. just need to wash off with water or normal bathing. in fact the nipple is self lubricating so no need to worry...

Hey Don't be stressed by all these medical terms. sometimes it is just a medical term and doesn't really affect us and our babies! For my first girl, I was told that I may have a short cervix, which I googled and got worried that I may have an early delivery since the cervix is short and may...

I also have also increased M/S last few weeks, now hitting week 16. i am surprised since i did not have m/s for #1. do avoid cooling food and heaty food. raw food are a no-no. but fruits are ok. 100% cooked food only. ginger helps to reduce m/s. so does eating frequently in small amounts. i...

Hi mummies i feel it is very common to 'forget' the baby is there once we hit trimester 2. do still take care of yourself and top up on vitamins and supplements even if your nauseous stops. do treasure this time to take care of yourself because we still wake up nightly. i used to wake up 4am...

hi TVH hope you feel better soon! plums, biscuits, toast, eat something light. can try salty biscuits. no sweets, spicy heavy meals. try sipping h2o or water to prevent hydration. no cold drinks too?

she drinks very little about 100ml to 120ml per feed. she's taking like 3 milk feed and 1 meal plus 2 tea breaks in school. at home 1 dinner and 1 milk. she's 11mths at around 8.5kg. very little but her meal portions are huge. more than average babies. like 1 bowl of porridge and 1 to 2 slice of...

Hi littlej i changed gynae for #1 at trimester 3. my first private gynae had a very expensive package for delivery which i regretted after re-calculating my finances. hence i changed to NUH (which was alot cheaper). i told my 2nd gynae i wanted to continue my prenatal package with the private...

oic if your girl has been able to sleep more than 4hrs at a stretch, i think she shld be on the way to sleeping longer. maybe you can try to pat her before she wakes up from crying? i do find that if mygirl hasn't been eating much in the day, she tends to want milk in the middle of the night...

Hi mummies! congrats to all! the EDD for my #2 is 10 Oct, and i will be at NUH. anyone with same EDD and will be at NUH?

hi mama mel my baby girl doesn't cry at night and has been able to sleep for at least a few hours at a stretch since 8mth (4hrs to be precise). she still needs to suckle at night (like 11pm and 4am) but doesn't wake up crying. maybe you can share your girl's sleeping time and sleeping duration...

Hi... how do i find the fb group?

Thanks Mummies twentydec, climsp, Meilynn and Tataro, for your advise on how to introduce baby to doggies... I got my hubby to pass a cloth diaper and my girl's clothing for my doggies to sniff but they didn't have any special reaction. normally when my dog sniff my scent, he will go crazy if he...

Hi Meilynn may i know how you introduce your baby to your dog? how did your dog react when they first met each other? i got 2 dogs and i am only letting them meet my girl after i move to my new house in july. i am quite scared that my dogs will not accept my girl and will bark or bully her...

actually i also would love to have #2. immediately after delivery, i was so determined not to have #2 but when i saw how lovely my girl is, i changed my mind. but part of me feel that my body may not be able to cope, scared to have gestational diabetes again. if it happens, i think i really...

hi everyone! brought my girl out once my confinement ended. she was out the whole day from 10am to 6pm and did not cry one bit! think she is a sociable girl lol i latched her once she starts to do the i-want-to-eat gestures so she starts nursing just before she cries. i used diapers so that...

Congratulations, climsp! It is so nice to see our babies finally after so many months! And I am so envious, you gained only 2 KG! My weight gain was 5kg immediately after delivery. And after breast feeding, now I think I am left with another 3kg. Anyway I am hungry most of the time, so I...

Dear fanger Trust your instinct, if baby cries, sometimes, she just want a hug. I often try to talk to my girl. I ask her if she wants milk and after a few mili second, will offer her my breast. This tells her that I am attending to her and calms her down. usually, she wants milk (at 3 Weeks...

Dear milkshake I admire you, I would have broke down on the spot! Don't worry, you are handling things extremely well and I am so proud of you! Don't worry about not enough milk, your body will always have enough for your baby :) Try to do something for yourself, like eating a piece...
