been feeling really sad and depressed that my LO has been cooing, smiling and laughing at others (husband, my mum) when theyre around but not at me. i try not to let it bother me when im around my baby but sometimes i really cant and i let my emotions get the better of me. i wonder if im doing anything wrong or if im lacking somewhere.

Maintain eye contact with your LO when cuddling and smile/talk at the same time. That works for me. Now my hubby is doing that too and yesterday my LO responded to him.

is it safe to have the aircon on at night with 2 month old?

hi mummies, just wondering if its safe to have the aircon on at night w/ LO when sleeping— i realised whenever we have the fan on in the room, my LO ends up being sweaty throughout the night and it worries me. but im also super skeptical about having the aircon on as its been known that babies cant really regulate their temp at this age

My baby sleep at the temp of 25 degrees. Just fan realized my baby will sweat and tend to feel discomfort and act up. Babies nowadays to much hahaha!!

Feeling helpless

My baby is 1 month 27 days today. I’m going to start work next week. I have a helper and she still doesn’t know well how to handle my girl. Im having sleepless night too due to baby is having colic and growth spurt. Im so worried about letting baby alone with her next week esp when baby is crying hard. Any tips how to tackle this problem? Anyone? #firsttimemom

Hang in there. Colic babies are challenging. They are not exactly tips but this what I would do: (1) find support - family and friends. It takes a village to raise a kid. We gotta learn to let go and let them help. (2) learn her body language and favourite positions. You may find certain positions bring more comfort to your baby, especially colicky ones.

Clean and dry bottle and pump parts on the go?

I saw websites selling UV Sterilizer bags but how do we clean and dry bottle and pump parts while on the go..?

Find places with hot water, after washing (bring along your own cleansing liquid and collapsible bowl) then put all the parts in to sterilise. After that use your own paper towel or tissue to wipe dry.

Not sure if this is even an issue but my 1month old pretty much sleeps the whole day. Is this normal? Her wake period throughout the day is at most 2.5 hours. She sleeps at night too. Pretty much cry, wake, drink, KO for 1hr during the day. I feed her 8-10 times a day.

My baby is just 1 month and 15 days. And I’ve pumping and breastfeeding her so far. Mostly is pumping. But everytime after nursing or pumping I’ll find myself indulging in chocolate. I read in some articles saying eating chocolate during breastfeeding is a no-no. But the urge is so bad. Sometimes i cant go to sleep cos i keep thinking about it. I feel like I’m having my pregnancy craving all over again. Anyone experience this before? Or am i the weird one here? #firsttimemom #FTM #pleasehelp

You can pretty much eat everything during breastfeeding, there is no need to avoid. Just eat in moderation to prevent clog ducts.

Hi all...wonder if anyone encounter the same issue as me? I am currently at wk 17 and the skin infection started from small red bump around my belly area. About 10 days have pass, and it become red patches as shown. No sign of fever, cough or flu. Just itchness when touch the affected area. Doctor at kkh and also raffles had prescibe me w chlorphenriamine. No lotion to apply. Help please🥶🥶🥶

Skin infection

Could be eczema. I had similar rashes on my body when I was pregnant which never happened before. My gynae gave me steroid cream to apply which he said is safe for pregnancy. It went away after about 2 weeks.
