Baby Care

Hello! My baby is almost 6 weeks and he is gaining weight steadily. We are bottle feeding breast milk and formula. I understand that newborns usually feed every 2-3 hours, and my baby was like that up till around 4 weeks. But now my baby has been drinking about 60-90ml every 1.5-2 hours (total in a day varies between 700-900ml). I'm guessing this might indicate that he needs more milk during each feed to be able to rest for longer stretches in between feeds, but he seems to be unable to drink more than 90ml each feed and would either fall asleep at the end of the feed or reject the bottle (and stomach is sometimes bloated). Wondering if anyone is experiencing / has experienced the same with their little one and how'd you manage? Do I move towards extending the time between feeds? How should I do so? Thank you in advance! 🙏

My baby is 1 mth old. Feed her 90ml - 100ml every 3hrs. No issues during night times. But during day time, she will sometimes cry for milk every 2hrs. At 2hrs, i will then feed her 60 - 70ml. In this case, can i feed her 90ml 3hrs later? My MIL advise me to feed her every 2hrs in the day and 3hrs at night. Not sure how can i drag from 2hrs in the day to 3hrs at night. Fellow mummies pls advise me am i feeding him right.. how do i know how much to feed my baby?

my lo has been coughing for a few weeks. it started out with runny nose first week, no see doctor. 2nd week went see doc then no lung infection, given nose drops. stopped runny nose and chesty cough in day . 3rd week, only at night now has continously cough. but feed milk then will stop. if never feed milk will keep coughing and sucking hands but still able to sleep. Doctor say is too long and need antibiotics if 2nd week didn't cure. but I feel cough is just ok, bb goes infant care anyways and hard to cure fully. ifc say if antibiotics, she will likely have watery stools and will be sent home. should I still bring her to see doc and get antibiotics for the 3rd week? I have tried all cough patch, onion patch, garlic balm, lemon bath, chest rubs. all no use 🫠 to me I don't mind the cough and doctor keep saying lungs are clear and she seems generally happy.

Does anyone have recommendations for a pediatrician who is concerned about child's weight? My 10 months baby weight is below the ideal range, and he has difficulty to eat the food (small eater). One doctor I consulted dismissed the issue, while another was concerned but did not provide any solutions. #PleaseAdvice #help 🥺

Bought spectra breast pump 2 years ago online. And suction is not strong anymore. Anyone knows where I can service the pump? The official store doesn’t do servicing for foreign purchase.

Hi mummies my baby has been suddenly waking up middle of the night and crying. Anyone faces the similar problem.

My newborn (5 Weeks) old hasn't pooped in 48 hours, she is feeding well but I can see she is trying to poop but unable to, she farts a lot but not pooping. Is this normal? How long can newborn go without pooping. Should I see a doctor? TIA for your help!

Please avoid this confinement nanny aka Qing Jie. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007006775852&mibextid=ZbWKwL She claimed to be very experienced. Being first time parents, we don't really know much and just listened to her. She found our new born baby to be drinking milk too slowly and suggested us to let the baby drink for a bottle with bigger teat size (we really didn't know). The baby drank the milk with weird squirry sounds but our nanny said it is normal so we continued. Our baby had colic afterwards because of this when we went back to PD. She also likes to boast and tell other people off when we don't agree with her. Lastly, her cooking sucks.

May I ask what is the cheap and good pregnancy test kit as well as ovulation test kit brand to buy? Thanks in advance!
