2016-12-05As the day getting nearer. I somehow feel more guilty & sad. Becuz I got to take care of no.2 more and cannot take care of my no.1. I will have to neglect her for some time, wonder can she gets used to it when the day comes. As I will be doing my confinement at my mum's place. And my gal will have to be taken care by my hub's aunties. Becuz her school is nearby. Am I having prenatal blues?! Do any mummies feel the same way as me too?
2016-12-05My second son is 3 going on 4. He's been fiddling with his private parts constantly since going off diapers in the day. It even went to the extent of pulling down his pants and fiddling in public. I'm irritated and disgusted and haven't been able to respond positively. * My eldest went through this period too, without the public exposure. I have tried the hard (threaten) and soft (telling him it's shameful) way of broaching the subject. It is still happening. What else should I do to stop that behaviour?
2016-12-05I do not have the habit to call my mil mum or fil Father.. cos I am not staying with them .. and have bad impression with them. Not in good terms too. So when I didn't called them Mother or Father, my hub say I got no manner. What can I do?
2016-12-05I'm curious. Why would u prefer to use a slow cooker to cook porridge as compared to rice cooker? Can anyone explain?

2016-12-06What do you do or say? When your MIL felt that you shouldn't breastfeed/latch baby for long as she felt that its not good for her(She felt its not okay for your child to latch on your breast when she is older, will make her mental growth a problem)? I planned to breastfeed my baby for 12 months, after knowing what her view on it i feel really upset. My hubby is half supportive and half not supportive. :/
2016-12-06Hi. My 10 months boy had a fall on 30th nov. Cried nonstop and had a big bump, hence went to doctor and xray. Doctor said no fracture or crack. However, since that day, now and then he vomitted a bit after milk. During nightime, he can sleep the whole night without waking up. But daytime, his regular routine remain the same. He is as active as usual. Only the vomitting part and his extra sleepiness during the night makes me worried. Any advice? TIA.

2016-12-06Hi all, my baby is 2 months old now and I'm breastfeeding her by direct latch. Now I am trying to feed her with bottle before I go back to work. But she rejects the bottle feed. Anyone has the same experience as me and please advise your solution with this?
2016-12-06hi all, my child is a very bad napper (fights nap with his life, take 20mins naps). I would like to check if anyone has such a child and could he or she nap well at a childcare at least 18mo? Thank you very much:)
2016-12-061) hi mummies, for those who have a choice between half day and full day childcare, and have experienced both, I would like to hear from you which one is better in terms of sleep & learning? heard that some parents tried half day but this caused the afternoon nap to start even later and full day was better. 2)Is it ok to start with half day and switch to full day, as some CCs say this will only traumatise the kids 2x instead of 1x. 3)Also some CC says that it's better to spread the learning as compared to trying to teach them lots in half a day. will they miss out alot if they only attend half day CC? thanks all for yr insights :)

2016-12-06How will you deal in laws who took a video of LO during bath time showing his private part despite husband and my mum who was bathing LO specifically telling them not to? My husband said he don't know how to bring it up to his parents for fear that they will be upset. I feel that even though my LO is still an infant, he has his own privacy and his private parts should not be photographed/videoed.
2016-12-06Why is my baby 1 month and 2 weeks old keep being awake at midnight and not wanting to sleep.. is it normal? Or must i keep smoothing him to sleep and make him a habit of sleeping at night? I latch him and bottle feed him, sometimes he reject bottle and sometimes he reject my breast. He will suddenly cry and scream not wanting any of it. Don't know is it nipple confusion. So tiring, every day around 11pm he will start to be awake or wanting milk for like 4 hrs.

2016-12-08My mother in law stay with me weekday and weekend she will go to my sister in law house stay. Both my sister in laws stay together and I am not get along with both. The youngest one ever used knife to threaten me and pick on me when I am at home which I ask her to go out. From Thereon she seldom come. But recently quarrel with her sister and she will come and stay with my mother in law. She just hide in the room which I am fine. But recently both quarrel at my house and my window grills spoil because she attempt to suicide. ( I wasn't around that time). My 3 kids were at home that time but my helper said all never see what happens. I told my husband I don't want her to stay here forever. Short term and not create trouble is okay but if they want to quarrel please go out. My husband tell me he will go out too as she is her sister. So sad that my husband side her。 what would you do? I told my helper, anything happens please call me or worse please call police. My husband happens passby and he was very angry.
2016-12-09How do mummies deal with their LO growth spout? My husband tell me not to give him too much as he tend to to force vomit all the milk after continuously drinking. We had a quarrel over this as I will give in to my LO and attend to all his needs. But my husband say that babies don't know that they are full so we as a adult have to stop him from drinking so much as his stomach is not that big and can't fill all the milk as much as he wants. So he ask me to give him a pacifier. Which I worry that my LO will addict to suckling it. Yes a big fight over this issue.. My LO is 1 month 2 weeks old. I mix BM and formula milk 30ml or 60ml. When it comes to growth spout he will be fuzzy at my nipple and I give in to formula and he can down a 200ml milk which I think is abit too much for his stomach. Pls give me some advice what can I do.. I am depress..

2016-12-09Hi all, my baby is currently 2months plus. And I always have trouble feeding her milk, she can take 1hour plus to finish 120ml of milk and she always fidget, turning her head right and left keep looking everywhere during milk time. I would need to use some force on her to make her drink her milk. I know it would be a ugly scene if I were to bring her out and she act liddat. She would either play or fall asleep during feeding and always unable to complete her milk. My mum told me "she's grown up le wanting to plus not that newborn that lie down there drink milk anymore" my concern is if it's like what my mum say wouldn't it be worst if she gets older ? Any mummies have such issue ? How do you resolve it ? Does changing in to bigger teats helps ? And how do you keep your baby awake during feeding ?
2016-12-09Hi I had big argument with my husband, Would like to ask everyone on how to deal with as he asked me for separate and end our relationship. I suppose to pick up with parents who are mid 80's and he did not want me to pick them and told me that my daughter needs me more and mentioned that my parents are selfish. I tried not to speak with him and he scold me in the car and shouted at me "Do you want me to be very angry? " You wanna see real me? No matter how much you pay for things, Your F*** duagther wants to see you. (I just want pick my parents then come to our home). then he said, he can't live with me and ask me to sort our relationship. What should I do?

2016-12-10My baby is 19 days old. I tried to breastfeed him for the first 3 days after he was born. From the 4th day onwards, we changed to feed him with Formula Milk and sometimes my expressed Breastmilk (if any). Am wondering is it too late if i want to direct latch him again? Am worried that i do not have enough milk for him as he can drink around 90ml to 110ml Formula Milk per feed.
