2016-08-01I AM SO PISSED OFF! Staying with my parents and they have a helper. I just got back to work (freelance) and wanted my own FDW but my parents told me no space so I have to make do with their helper who helps a lil bit. It's been a week now that my baby doesn't eat and drink so much. She drinks 60ml max. Past week I had back to back meetings/appointments. Came home only by dinner time. Idk how they feed her! Today I'm back early about 11am and they were feeding her Banana when it's supposed to be an hour before her lunch time. Now my baby is rejecting her lunch! She doesn't want anything at all. She drinks only (BM) 90ml five times a day. She used to take in solids very very well. WHAT SHOULD I DO??????
2016-08-01My bb is drinking 160ml each feed. Realise that in the morning, she drinks lesser like 120ml. Is it normal? They are like adults - morning not much appetite so they drink lesser?
2016-08-01Any mummies having lower back pain? I'm trying to flatten my post pregnancy belly by doing sit-ups but I feel pain when doing so. I also can't fully bend backwards as my back will hurt. It's been 4 mths since I gave birth. Will seeing a chiropractor help? Any advice to lessen the back pain will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
2016-08-01The folks at home advised me to sleep while my LO sleeps so that I don't can get enough rest. Anyone tried? My 2month old sleeps for an hour or so each round in the day and I find it almost impossible to sleep when my LO sleeps, and i feel more tired to wake up from short naps. Plus I seem to have endless things to do when she sleeps! Also, they advised that I don't let her sleep in the day so that she can sleep for a longer period at night. Does it really work cos I thought infants sleep most of the time! Thanks.

I did my job well too just not as efficiency as before. I can't do as late as before as I need to back home on time. I can't put more effort and more focus on work as I need to pump exclusively.

2016-08-05Hello mummies. I recently sent my then 14 week old daughter to an ifc just before my maternity leave ended. She just learned how to flip when she was 18 weeks old. (For the record, I have also stopped swaddling her long time ago since she was abt 2.5months old). However the IFC teachers recently tell me that they have always been swaddling her so that she can sleep 'better'. In fact.. the better meant she can sleep as long as 2.5hr to 4.0hr during day time when she is at IFC. Back at home, her naps are always between 30mins to 1.5hr max, never exceeding 1.5hrs. Was wondering if any LOs out there also nap as long during daytime back at home or over at IFC? My worries: 1) I prepare 3 bottles of EBM for 3hrly feeding, but she always drinks at most 2 bottles during the 9hrs she spends there! So the IFC teachers always defend to say, sleep is good for baby's growth and development, so we don't wake her up. 2) Isn't it said that once baby starts to flip/roll over, they should no longer be swaddled? (I did make it known to them abt this milestone). 3) Is something not right that my baby sleeps unusually longer over at IFC? Or am I just over worrying? Please share your thoughtsnand experiences with me. Many thanks!
