Combining R and Birth cert number

I have been trying to combine the R number and Birth cert number of my 4 month LO for months, and even called in, emailed and went down physically to the polyclinic to ask for it. And nothing had been done. Anyone can help advice on where else I can go to get these numbers combined? I have been trying to see my LOs appts on my NUHS app but as the numbers aren't combined, they don't show up. Emailing the NUP contact centre just returns me a template email tt they'll forward my email to the polyclinic.

Whats R number ? I only know bc

Baby wakes up at night to lick her hand

My 4mo has been waking up in the middle of the night to lick her hand, or even her sleeves, if her hands are covered by her sleeves. She does that with her eyes closed and only stops if we swaddle her tighter and keep her hands out of her reach. However she is getting stronger and also starting to flip, so it seems like the swaddle won’t be a solution in the long run. Any advice on how to get her to sleep better? #advicepls #firsttimemom

Suck fingers vs suck pacifier. I feel it’s better to suck pacifier as it can be thrown away later to kick the habit whereas you can’t throw the fingers away.

Feeding aversion / milk strike / bottle strike

Hello mummies! My 4mo baby has been having feeding issues for 2 months. She started pushing bottle away, playing with the teat, fussing, crying (sometimes really badly) halfway during her feed and refuses to continue drinking. Sometimes she can continue after some coaxing. Sometimes she will refuse. It’s on and off, some days she drinks well and we thought the phase is over, and then the next day the aversion comes back again. Even so her total milk intake was still enough so we just believe it’s a phase and will pass. But over the past few days, it got worst and she wails really badly even when she sees the bottle. She only manages to drink half or less of her usual intake. She also seems more sleepy than usual. But when she’s awake, she is still active and interactive. I’m really worried. It’s been 2 months.. is it still a phase that will pass? We told the doctor about her feeding during a developmental check recently and he said it’s a phase. Should I bring her to see a PD (I read many PD will say that it’s a phase too)? Anything that will help?

Have you tried changing a bottle or upsizing her teats? Also, she could be teething as well.

Which month do baby start eating yogurt melt

I tried offering at 8mo but she wasn’t taking it too well cause it gets stucked to her upper side of her mouth (dk the actual term). I tried again after 1 and she could take it without any problems cause she will bite and break down the pieces better.

How to sleep train a 3-4 month old if he cosleep with us?

Any advice? Or do I need to put him in another room? He will start sleeping ard 10pm, then wake up every 2 - 3 hours in the motn to feed(e.g 12am, 3am, 6am, 9am). I will breastfeed him to sleep then put him back in his bassinet. Sometimes he poops and wakes up.

Challenging; just put in another room

Freshly pumped breastmilk

Hi mummies, my freshly pumped breastmilk sat in freezer for roughly half an hour. It remain in an insulated bag during and after i took out from freezer. It’s been in the cold insulated bag for 3hrs now. Can i still put back in freezer? Reason for this 3hrs gap because left work and attended appointment.
