Dear mummies, i'm curious, in general, how would u react to such scenarios. When u change baby's diaper at someone's hse, someone (elderly) tells u to wipe tat area and wipe tiz area. Tells u muz put lotion. Tells u tiz n tat like as if u did not change a diaper before. How would u feel? When u say u can change his diaper on e floor (put him lying down) and elderly say dun put on e floor! Put on e bed! He has pooped. I didnt wanna dirty anyone's bedding. If no poop, of cos i will wanna put him on e bed as it is easier?! I said it is really ok for LO as i do tat often! But elderly not happy.. Infantcare teachers do a bad job in taking care of LO. If u encountered ur baby's lower legs r left wet after washing of buttock, when u go n fetch him, how would u feel? Well, i encountered all these and hubby wans me to chill. Hmm.. Am I being too fussy or protective or wad? Really wonder how would u mummies feel? Can u still be chill?

Old people often will give their opinions because they feel they are experienced which sometimes they are. I also will feel irritated at times when my parents or in laws make some comments to me but I have learnt to let them go and just continue to focus on my baby . Sometimes have to also listen to their advice and you as the mother will know best what to do. Being a mother means have to shut the ears to many things. Jiayou! If my baby's legs are still wet after IFC teacher wash I will inform them nicely about it. Hubby always tell me to chill too but if both are chilled I wonder if we ever get things done .. hahah Focus on the baby and don't let others affect your mood which will affect baby's mood too.
