2017-03-13Dear parents My 15th month just recovered from roseola fever. She still has e rash on her body but is slowly fading. The thing is she has been very whiney, clingy and still pretty Lethargic . She still eats and drink, albeit lesser but still pretty alright. Im more worried about the overly whines, insist on being carried and crying alot when she doesn't gets carried.. Is this e route to recovery or is there something i should be worried about?

2017-03-13hi mummies, my lo likes to bite me esp when trying to nap. any tips to teaching him not to bite? he enjoys when there is 'big' reaction from adult and will continue doing even know we say in stern voice.
2017-03-13My 9 mth old boy can slp through e nite. Started few days ago, he woke up at 3am/4am plus and i tried patting him back to slp. But it took me almost 2 hrs before he can fall asleep again every midnite... It is frustrating as i have to force him to slp by pinning him down in his slping position and pat him. He looks so awake/alert and if i leave him alone, he will juz move around on his mattress and make babbling noises as if he has woken up like tat. Is this growth spurt?

2017-03-14Can we adults drink the remaining of what is left of the formula milk when our children can't finish drinking their milk? Sometimes my LO can't finish the formula milk that I've prepared for her (14 months) so I just drink the remaining amount of milk left thinking it is such a waste to throw away . But my mom told me we adults shouldn't drink our children's formula milk as it is not suitable for adults . She said she have a Friend Who did that And resulted in high blood pressure. Is it true ?
2017-03-14My 6 months has recently started purees. Usually she is okay with the fruit puree. But recently when we switched brands she vomitted. When we let her try the usual brand she is okay with, she vomitted as well. Gave her plain water a small amt, she vomit it out too. When i made her cerelac, she shows me the vomitting gesture. Doctor advised to give her small amounts and only give what she can tolerate. She is only okay when direct latch. The problem is, is it okay if a 6 months just drink bm? Im afraid she might still be hungry as dl cant see how much she drinks. Have yet to try homemade food. Will do it soon.

2017-03-14How should/could i let hubby understands hw we preggy mum feels when taking care of elder child/children? Im in my 35 weeks and also suffering from sacroiliac joint issue. Hubby came home only play with no1 and i just took chance to rest a while and he says "wah the moment i come back, u jus glue to the chair isit" this just feel so hurting. I didnt get to rest and was really tired taking care of 15mo LO yet he just said tt. Apart frm that, hubby only seems like everything also give in to LO. When hubby is happy, everything also ok, if nt he blames me for nt teaching LO during the day. Eg: Lo likes to be coax while eating, or feed himself with the food or sometimes end up playing. At times hubby will get irritated and say tt why didnt i teach him how to eat properly and nt play with food. Then when hubby is with lo, he will let lo mess with the food, let lo does wad he want and just tell me, "what u expect me to do? Unless u hav better idea then u tell me" Feeling really irritated! Is it most hubby thinks that taking care of baby whole day is an easy task?
2017-03-14Hello, where do you celebrate your LO 1 year old birthday?

He said is a must because my pils also related. I told him "why must i inform them when its my family matters? Its not like my they need to know everything about me. As if they will tell me about them also." He replied "why u talk like that? U must respect ur pils and let them know." Wtf? After all its my family matters not them. I dont think its something that is very proud to announce. I mean, u dont have to tell "everyone" right?

2017-03-18Want to rant! my Husband wants to be hands on dad and willing to help out with newborn if I need his help. We are both extremely tired because taking care of newborn with zero help is jus exhausted. So weekend came and I look forward to it so that we can co-parent whole day. However he rather spend LO nap time to watch tv then at night he will be v tired n give me the "I'm-so-freaking-tired-and-i-still-have-to-help-out" face. Whilst me, I quickly take the opportunity to take naps while LO sleeps. N thruout the night I still do my "night duty" plus pumping. He still help but I jus hate it that he gave a face n help. Who ask him not to catch some rest when LO is sleeping!

2017-03-18Hi mummies, what makes u wanna have no2 or even no3, when u have a hands off husband?
2017-03-18I cant help but cried and felt super sad when hubby told me "i think ur pregnancy is quite relax and nt tedious hor, cox i also nv see u in much pain" Matter of fact is, when i was nt feeling well and in great pain, either he was nt by my side or just ignore me. All these i also nv complaint a word, jus endure the pain and still gotta look aft no 1 myself who is jus 15mo. I have very bad lower back and joint issue which i cant stand or walk too much even when im a normal person(nt preg). I will experience sharp piercing pain as and when now cox gynae says pelvic bones are expanding, thus the pain will be more and frequent. I could feel the pain until i cried. But most heartpain is, hubby thinks its ok and just endure lo or take pain killer if its so unbearable. Sigh... to some extent, i rather nt tell him and make myself feeling terrible. Sometimes i would just wanna rest and lie dwn on my back and hubby will say like "wah u very eng hor, can rest liao and u expect me to look aft no1 isit" It hurts to hear this leh. I cant help but cry deep down. Feeling heartbroken.
