2016-12-23This morning 1.30am my LO wake up all the way till now 7.52am. In between no matter how I coax him to sleep he don't want to sleep, sometime almost fall asleep but will suddenly be awake and start to look around until now he cry because of overly tired. So hard to calm a overly tired baby down. Me, my husband and my LO energy all drained. My LO is 2months. I don't understand why he wants to be awake the whole time even when he fall asleep he will wake up and start to look around. Lights on and off I tried still he just stare until 7am. Excessively crying for almost 1hr and at last manage to calm him down. Want is the best way to coax a baby to sleep or calm a overly tired baby down? I really don't know what to do if this happen everyday. It's already been 1 week my LO keep being awake no matter how me and my husband coax him. He will surely wake up at midnight and everything starts again.
2016-12-23My girl is now 16 mths old. In the past few mths she began crying more often. Like over little things she would also cry. Is this normal? What can I do about it?
2016-12-23Should I have a schedule for my 2 months? But how am I going to do it? He wakes up 1 or 2 hrs for milk. How can I make him sleep more at night? Or is he too young to start as he need his milk in the night.

2016-12-23Hi i need to rant about my husband . I find him very selfish and lazy. Our relationship went downhill so much after having a baby. Firstly it all started on the first night I came home from hospital. The confinement lady told him to get somethings and instead of going out in the day to buy he went out around midnight and took the chance to have supper with his friends and shop at ntuc . I had a c sect so I needed someone to help me up to pump milk and he wasn't around. After that in the first few months he will often sleep until noon even though our baby wakes at 8am. As we sleep with air con on, when I need to bathe the baby I need to move the baby to another room to change her. I tried to endure at first and hope he will change on his own but of course he did not. So I told him my frustrations. I think he did change in terms of waking a bit earlier to help. But he still sleeps late. It is not as if he helps a lot in the day or wakes at night to help me feed baby but yet he still wakes up after me and takes nap as and when during the day. He is permanently sleeping if I allow him to. Once a week I let our baby stay over at his mom's place so that we have some me time. He will arrange many activities during this one day and then I won't have time to do my chores like pack baby's stuffs or wash her things. If he help out maybe it is better but once baby is not around he will go back to his usual sleeping habit. He says he wants me time with me but he wakes up so late everyday and if we go out with friends where is the me time? We didn't even have any intimacy for a long time. Every time I am online searching for deals for diapers and wet wipes he is snoring away. But when it comes to arranging sessions to eat and play with his friends he takes the initiative I am so sick of him!!!
2016-12-23After giving birth my son I thought that I could see some changes in him but there is still no improvement, I don't know how to live with him anymore and I am running out of patience. He don't like to listen to me and even he ask me and I advise him but he still do his ways, after which he find out that what I had advise is right then he can still tell me that what I said is right but he did not listen or follow, it just go on and go and repeat many times the same scenario, I just ignore as since after giving birth I had been busying with lo and didn't care much. He never failed to surprise me with things I hate or don't like, today he used the "铁打酒“ I don't know I spell correctly, he just apply in a air con room when lo is sleeping, so I just tell him you should apply that in an air con room and some more this kind of smell not sure if is good for lo to smell, I have heard lo smelling those mothballs and become like differently, so I am afraid of it, then he is unhappy and just get out of the room and sleep in the living room. Is really hard for me to communicate with him and I don't wish to anymore , I guess I am going to end this as I don't want to feel unhappy and I am not going to live like this for the rest of my life.
2016-12-23My Lo (10 mths) has this one blister at hand. I suspected is the sign of chicken pox. Is this chicken pox or just because his hand is dirty and it's a dirt related blister?
2016-12-24Mummies.. i am curious to know how the breast milk collection shells work.. I have one at home but have yet to try it bcos im concern abt the collected bm itself.
