Hi mummies… I just got a call from KKH saying that my FTS result are not low and not high. Idk what’s that means? They didn’t send me any emails I don’t really unds it… still at the same time waiting for my NIPT result… any mummies experience this as well? Need some advices to clear doubts 🙏🏻#pleasehelp #advicepls

Is it normal to feel annoyed when you want to care for your LO but the in laws family insists on getting involved? I know they are offering a helping hand but you know ultimately you want to be the one your LO recognise. At this stage, my LO cries when i am taking care and would rather be with my in laws and partner. Is it just me or is this normal or am I overreacting?

#firsttimemom I’m exclusively pumping, not sure if it’s ok to just leave freshly pumped breastmilk at aircon temp for baby’s next feed. Read online that room temp milk can be used up to 4 hours but best within 2 hours. Is it better to refrigerate first after pumping then warm it up when need to use? Or is it ok to just leave it outside until baby gets hungry for next feed?

When can I give gripe water to my 3 weeks old baby

Hi! My baby is a few days to being one month old and we're facing some new challenges with his daily routine. 1. He used to be drinking 60ml per feed when 2 weeks old, and now seems to have increased to 90ml, but when we feed 90ml it seems he is now dealing with reflux and vomits milk frequently. We pace feed, burp in between, and keep him upright for 15-20 minutes but it still happens. what can we do? 2. Because of the reflux and how we keep him upright, in his age-appropriate wake windows (45-60 minutes), it's 20 minutes feed, 5 minutes burp, 20 minutes sitting upright as we continue to burp, then the wake window is gone already - we barely have been able to do any wake activities before he goes right back to sleep. Is this normal? How can we adjust? 3. We have recently begin to offer pacifier for soothing due to increased fussiness from the reflux issues. He loves it and was a natural at sucking on it. Do I only offer when other methods cannot soothe him? Or do I continue to offer for every nap and sleep time? Do I take it out once he has fallen asleep or just leave it? We are currently planning to wean off and stop by 6 months if possible. 4. If he is sucking on pacifier during sleep, how do I spot hunger cues? How to differentiate between nutritive and non-nutritive sucking? Thank you for your advice in advance! 😭
