EDD Nov 2012 mummies here

[babyeskimo]

PockyMummy, me too!!! I was 48kg and now im 64.5kg at 35/36 wks. Baby is 2.5-2.6kgs.
My dietician advised a weight gain of 500gms every week. Dont lose weight/diet - its bad for baby

I thought thats ok? my baby was 2.2kg 2 weeks ago ~ 34wks

Hmm.. But my gynae say it's slightly abit below average for me.. =(
I ate alot but I wonder where does all the food goes to? Before pregnacy my weight was 48kg and till now it's 64.5kg.. Can't imagine until birth time how much will i gain.. LOL!!!

I'm puzzled. My antenatal class at mt alvernia said can use baby powder but my gf, and more than one gf, warned me against using baby powder because baby's lungs are not fully developed yet so the powder will be bad for their lungs. Any of you had similar advice??

The trainer also mentioned that should introduce bottle by 1-2 months old otherwise by 4th month, baby will reject bottle. However, even if day time feed bottle, night time can just latch on so baby will still want to breast feed but I thought once bottle feed, baby may reject breast feeding???

Any advice mummies?

What are you planning to use the baby powder for? If for bum, I would not recommend... just because it'd be quite gross to have powder and poo/pee mixed together. Diaper rash cream would be enough.

If really wanna use powder, pour the powder away from baby's face/ nose so yr baby doesn't breathe in the powder. Otherwise... can always use lotions or creams?
