2021-01-11LO is 18mths old . From young , ive been refraining her from screen time , be it television cartoon or youtube for kids. I do not want my child to be dependent as i think this is not needed .i do not want my child to end up needing to watch video when traveling , eating their meals and etc . Right now she is doing fine without too . From time to time , will open educational song and rythmes for her to hear. She attends playgroup too . I do not want to introduce all these to her as i feel tht she is too young and i know this might cause behavaral problem . But for my husband and inlaw and others , back then when living with them , they will put her infront of the tv beside them as young as 4months old . Im not comfortable with this. Now my kids is 18mth old , i would rather want them to spent proper time with her like playing than to put her beside to watch tv or youtube to her . Like , if u want to watch ur television , u can hand over my kid back to me not distract and make her watch tv with u when she want to play . My husband is thinking im overreacting with this screen time and thibk its okay for her . Am i wrong ? Every mom wants the best for their child . #advicepls #firstbaby #1stimemom

2021-01-11My in laws are very traditional (extended family too) about giving birth to a boy. My firstborn is a girl, and although they love her a lot, I know that they still yearn for a boy, and I find there’s nth wrong with that. Now that I’m pregnant, when I went for my 8th and 12th week checkup, my in laws keep asking, when will know the gender? Can the dr check the gender yet? They even went to the extent of questioning my firstborn (want didi or meimei), and forcing her to say didi till she was so frustrated, tries to ignore when they ask, giving both answers didi/mei mei at different occasions and keeps crying when they insist she has to say didi. The relatives are the kind that go “it’s ok you can try again for a boy” when I was pregnant with my girl. So the whole vibes are always boys better than girls, must give birth to a boy. I am so stressed as I am nearing to my 16th week checkup, which may have a slight chance to know the gender soon. For me, gender doesn’t matter but it’s really annoying to keep hearing these comments. Sometimes I really pray to give birth to a boy so that I can finally shut all their mouths because it’s just so irritating, and so that I can have my third or more children with a peace of mind. I keep telling my in laws that a healthy baby is most important, they will say yes yes, but still saying and giving non constructive comments. So stressed with everything already. What should I do...

2021-01-11Anyone having the same issue? Any idea whether it had anything to do with "fish oil" supplements? I do not have this issue with my 4 other pregnancies. It smells like wet used mat/towel, not properly aired. Ps: that's the only way I could describe as I noticed the same kind of smell on my son's towel when not properly hang/aired or the toilet mat when my hubby wet it while rinsing the floor and left overnight. Underarm only smells great for a short while after showering. Then the bad smell will appear even without sweating. So annoying!!!

2021-01-13Am in my 1st Trimester now, morning sickness is occurring daily. Thankfully I've not vomitted but the feeling is awful. Loads of food is a turn off to me. My appetite is bad. Can't eat much too. Alot of food doesn't attract me. But I'm still trying to eat as much as I can. Headache is often too. I try to drink as much water as possible. What did you do when you had morning sickness? Any natural things to aid instead of medication? I was told by my mum and mil not to take anything sour. So I'm in very much a dilemma when I feel the nausea

2021-01-13Do KKH hospital issue hospitalisation leave when request?
2021-01-13We are foreigners living in Singapore (Not drawing a big fat salary). My company doesn't cover maternity insurance for my wife. We have been doing our monthly checkups at KK until 8th month of pregnancy. But for delivery some friends are suggesting that KK bills can be very expensive for Foreigners baby delivery. And some say that Thomson is better for foreigners who don't have insurance coverage. If the treatment, care for baby and mother, etc are same between these 2 hospitals, then can any of you advise about which hospital is better cost wise. Approximately how much would be the bill for Foreigner's normal delivery ? We are very confused about which hospital is cost effective. Please advise

2021-01-13My 6month old babygirl has been pooping quite frequently lately. Currently mix-feed; direct latch at home and formula milk in infant care. Her doctor at NUH said it’s normal (showed him pictures) but another PD said it’s diarrhoea. She has a tendency of pooping after every feeding or in the middle of feed in IFC. We’ve changed from Enfamil to Isomil but both resulted in the same (poop after feed). Trying Similac Total Comfort now. Any mummies can confirm if this is diarrhoea? Her teachers are concern that it’s not pasty as she has began to start on Cerelac rice. She’s still active as usual though so I’m totally at a lost... kept receiving calls from her teacher while I’m at work and had to bring her back in the middle of the day.
2021-01-13Hi, im a #1stimemom I frequently feel like my eyes are tired the past few weeks and its as if my eyesight is deteriorating. Is this an unknown side effect of pregnancy? Like a part of morning sickness? Thanks in adv for your inputs!

2021-01-14#advicepls Hi Mummies, just to check, at what age should we stop milk bottle? My 2 year old is still drinking milk from the bottle every morning and night. I have triee using sippy cup, but, he dun want. His sippy cup is only for water. Thxs.
2021-01-14I heard about social worker at kkh? What does it help ? Will anything happen to the baby? As in will they take away the baby n put under foster care? Currently my sister is pregnant 5 mth n single. Dunno what happen to her bf. So its there any other help? Just scared that they will take away the baby. Btw my sis is above 21 y.o. #pregnancy #advicepls
2021-01-14My baby is 18mths, has been fully breastfed (no mixed feed) since birth. She does drink some fresh milk during the day but as a drink not to replace breastfeeding. Doesn’t sttn yet, so she wants to be breastfed through the night several times (mostly comfort latch). Want to gradually wean her off due to my pregnancy (very tiring as I have to keep waking up, and also get cramps at times when she suckle). Things I’ve tried: 1) ignoring when she asks for milk, but she will keep waking me up and chant milk non stop (we co sleep) 2) giving uht/fm in milk bottle (rejects and points to my breast and says milk) 3) pacifier as mostly want to comfort latch (either sucks for a few times then reject, or totally tell me no and throws it away, then asking for milk again) 4) giving water (sometimes rejects and says milk, otherwise drinks quite a bit of water and then ask for milk right after) Have been suggested to put bitter gourd etc on the boob, but feel it’s quite cruel to do this to my baby. Any other advices please?

2021-01-14Hi mommies! Have you ever feel scared that your child does not bond well with you as compared to other relatives/caregivers? I am training my son to be independent and not spoiled but when I do, relatives will tend to swoop in to coax my child if he cries (after diaper change and feedings. He needs sleep so they will carry to put him to sleep on their chest but they didn’t put him down. So they bond more with him for hours he is sleeping with the touch and smell. I am not sure if prolong bond with other female relatives will make him think she’s his mom and not me, like confused who is his mother due to the excessive bonding and pampering. I won’t mind if others treat and love him well as long he knows that I’m his mother. I want to feel special because i deserve it after going through pregnancy and labor.
2021-01-14Hi Mummies, my LO is 5 months old and recently has been rejecting milk. Used to drink 100ml every 2 to 3 hours but now only drinks 40ml to 60ml.

Any tips on how do i make my LO drink more milk?

2021-01-15This is my first pregnancy. I came for the first scan when I was 8 weeks and the doc mentioned that they couldn't detect anything as it was too small. 2 weeks later I came for the scan again, and the doc seemed confident to say that this pregnancy will be failure due to an empty sac with no visible embryo. The gestational sac shape is also abnormal. I bought a cheap doppler to check for any heartbeat, it is relatively on the low side between 70+ to 90+ BPM which is unusual for a 10 weeks fetus. It was very confusing how I could able to detect a little heartbeat but the sonographer/doc are unable to detect any embryo. Does anyone experiencing anything similar to mine?

2021-01-16Anyone experiencing nausea even in 2nd trimester? I’m few days to 16weeks, feeling sick and nauseous when nightfalls (starts 7-8ish in the night).

My first trimester I had nausea all day long (on and off), but was hardly vomiting except on a few occasions. 2nd trimester then started to vomit in the night. I know some people may have morning sickness even after the first trimester, but is it normal to feel sick and weak all night and only at night. What can I eat or do to strengthen my body?
