Hi everyone! I am compiling a list of confinement ladies who can work overseas in Australia. I am currently living in Perth, Western Australia. There is a group of soon-to-be-moms who are looking to engage good and experienced confinement ladies throughout the year and next year. If you know of...

Hi everyone, I'm expecting No.2 and due early Sept 2012. I'm living overseas in Perth, Australia. Anyone knows a really good chinese confinement lady who will travel to Perth? Cantonese background preferred. I need all aspects of caregiving including housework. Preferably English-speaking...

Hello to all mums who delivered via C-section, Would you be able to share your current wound situation, and how do you find your overall strength? For me it's been 15 months already, my wound appears very raised and is still red. Not bright red, but more medium-dark red. It's also quite a long...

I have a skinny 1 yr old. I now only breastfeed her once at night (bedtime), and offer her formula for breakfast and afternoon tea (afternoon snack), and after dinner. Multivitamins exist for 1 year olds onwards, I even bought one on impulse. Haven't given it to her yet though. Is it ok to...

My 1yr old is still pooing minimum 3 times a day, on average it is actually 6 times, her poo is soft, not watery, not hard. Sometimes can still see unprocessed bits of food -e.g. carrot bits, long beans. On one day she even pooed a record 8 times. It's obvious she's not only pooing yesterday's...

I've become a bit confused lately, my soon-to-be 1 yr old daughter is still waking up in the middle of the night (at least 2-3 times), she hasn't been able to sleep through the night yet. I actually stopped milk feeds in the middle of the night from 8months+ onwards, as I was told it would help...

I'm absolutely going nuts trying to figure this out by myself, I hope someone has had a similar experience that can help me. Some rashes appeared on her cheeks (and red spots around her mouth shortly after starting to eat) when I started giving my nearly 11 month old daughter some foods. I...

As above, when did you start your toddler on adult food and stopped making baby food? I read the recommendation is 12 months, but I also heard some mums already giving their 10-12 month old the same food as they eat. I don't want my 10.5 month old to be eating foods with added salt in it like...

....I'm at wit's end, I'm trying to please my in-laws by doing the "right" thing in their eyes, they're arriving soon, and I'm about to go out of my mind thinking that I have to wake up early to make porridge in the mornings too. Please, do you all feed porridge in the mornings, lunch, & dinner...

I have been having a really, really hard time all these months. I saw a few similar threads here relating to in-laws and other issues at home, but I feeeeel I am seriously going out of my mind, so sorry if I'm starting ANOTHER thread about something similar already posted here. My baby is now...

I'm confused about whether tofu is ok or not, for it's SALT content. I read somewhere (forgot where & couldn't find the source anymore) that babies can only tolerate a certain amount of salt, otherwise it damages their kidneys if they're getting too much salt intake. Recently, I started on...

Hi mummies, has anyone tried those dried fruits like apricots, steamed and pureed them for baby? Are they ok? As in do they contain any substances (in the process of drying) that are not safe for baby? thanks

I'm looking for any good, experienced CLs who are willing to fly to Perth to work. It's not urgent at the moment, but I was just wondering if there were any. Can PM or reply here. Thanks.

As above, could a baby really be lactose intolerant??? I'm very confused and upset. To cut a long story short, paediatrician suspects my baby could be lactose intolerant and told me to TRIAL those formula for lactose-intolerant babies. But how could babies be intolerant to mother's milk if...

Hi all, I'm trying to get baby (currently 6months & 1 week old) into a good routine so that she starts "remembering" the signals, e.g. Feed-Play-Feed-Sleep.. then hopefully she'll get used to and be able to fall asleep on her own in her cot. Am trying to get her off the dummy but she seems to...

How did you know WHEN it's time to switch to formula milk??? Did you simply KNOW that your supply was diminishing and then slowly supplement with formula until totally no more supply? I'm just wondering because my baby is nearly 6 months now, and I'm still breastfeeding her exclusively. Just...

Hi there, are there any mummies now living in Perth, Australia? I was from SG before but have now settled down in Perth for a couple of years already. I now have a 5 mth old girl. Would like to know more mummies over here...

Hi mums, want to know if anyone gave water to their newborn baby to drink. My baby is currently 7 weeks old, and my in-laws all insist to give her some water. Baby is fully breastfeeding, and the hospital say don't need water until when baby starts solids. Personally i don't see water as...

Hi mummies, I'm fully breastfeeding but my baby does swallow fast, (also got fast flow of milk) so definitely got to burp her every time after feeding. If I don't burp her, she will cry after a few minutes being put down to sleep. I've been taught at the hospital as well as by other people...
