1m baby sleeping schedule

Hello Mummies! Could you share your baby sleeping & feeding schedule? My baby is turning 2m in 3 weeks. Currently, she can sleep up to 4 hours during the day. I had to wake her up for feeding. As for night routine, she could sleep through without waking up for feeding. But we kept it at 4 hourly too. May I know if its okay? Should I reduce her day time sleep to 2 hours? Really appreciate everyone's share! I understand that different babies have different preference, growth and demand. #firstbaby #firsttimemom

My baby feeds 2 hourly during newborn days, at night I will dream feed her if she sleeps past her bedtime. I dont limit her sleep :)

Postnatal pelvic floor recovery

Hi mummies, does anyone know where to find good physiotherapy for postnatal recovery? Like pelvic floor muscles assessment & treatment, and treatment for pelvic bone pain and diastasis recti? Also does any hospital or Polyclinic have such services? I was experiencing urine leakage after my first childbirth. Kegel exercise didn’t help much, but maybe I was doing it wrong or it doesn’t suit me. Thus I am looking for a more professional assessment and guidance this time after my second childbirth. Thank you!

only hospital does, you can try to get a referral for this but it will take months before you get an appt. otherwise can go for private PT clinics that specializes in women’s health. urine incontinence can last 1-2 years postpartum, so do set your expectations too.

My 2 month old has been having these little bumps for a while. Any idea what it is? I thought it was baby acne but it doesn't seem to be going away.

Off shelves drinks

Are there any drinks we can get off shelves at supermarket to drink? I have been drinking plain water only. I really like chocolate milk but not allowed to intake chocolate since it contains caffine? Not sure if those peel fresh fruit juices are good while breastfeeding..

There shouldn't be any issues with drinking chocolate milk though. Both pregnancy I drink it. In fact tea/coffee also I drink but at minimal (of course) Peel fresh no issues too can drink.

Milk supply & pump duration

2 questions: Does anyone experience pumping lesser milk from week 3 after giving birth? During my first 2 weeks, i could pump 150ml. Right now, i am pumping about 100ml. I did jamu massage on my 2nd week and she helped to massage the breast. Is it because of the massage that promote milk supply? Also, when I was at the hospital, the lactation consultant mentioned to pump 15 mins, so i have been following strictly 15 mins. Am i supposed to pump longer given that baby is slowly increasing her intake?

15mins is sufficient to pump, but you can increase to 20mins if you prefer. Actually what you need to do is pump more frequently. If you’re doing every 4 hours, pump every 3 hours instead consistently, even during the night.

Already get my baby for warth bath,pat his chest & back but the phlegm still there..But his nose & breathing is good.Anything else can help to remove phlegm frm baby throat?

you shouldn’t dilute his milk. there’s really no medication for such a young baby. you should just continue feeding him as per normal. can try warm bath with epsom salts.

Baby allergic to cow’s milk

Hey mama do you know if your baby is allergic to cow’s milk, are u still able to eat lactation bakes that contains dairy while still breast feeding? Is it true whatever we eat will directly pass down to baby’s?

My baby has cow’s milk allergy and i still eat baked lactation goodies. But do look out for any allergy reaction on baby after consuming and avoid those that give severe allergic reaction.
