Umbilical cord fell off 7 days ago and still has dried blood when cleaned. Baby was bath everyday after we came home by CL. Is there any concern? The cord was only 3cm. Got so short? Did the doc cut too short? Anyone has similar experience?

Had the same experience with my baby about the dried blood at the belly button after umbilical cord fell off. She just opened baby's belly button carefully and removed the dried blood then said it's nothing to worry about and won't hurt the baby. After few days belly button looks normal

Dulac or lactogen

Hi mommy out there, which milk for infant is good ? Dulac 1 or lactogen 1? My baby seems to have constipation with Dulac, isit common or should i change to lactogen instead ? #firsttimemom #FTM help me please 😢

What works for other babies might not work for your baby. You need to try and error to see which formula milk suits your baby most. My baby is currently taking Nestle NAN Optipro 1.

Hello mummies, able to share some of your experiences with C section or Induction?

Hi, I'm at Week 37 and my baby did not seem to increase weight from week 35 scan and gynae showed me the placenta has white spots already, degrating as nearing EDD. Been trying to take food such as yogurt, red meat, nuts, fruits, milk, maternity milk, ice cream, snacks to boost weight. Going for another scan in 2 days and if no additional weight gain, doctor will highly suggest to deliver the next day or day after so baby can absorb better nutrients and grow outside the womb. I'm worried about the options of induction and C section, saw some mummies saying induction takes around 30 hours and it's painful, C section is faster but more painful recovery. Would like to get some reassurance from the community Thanks for reading. ##AskingAsAMom #firsttimemom #FTM

I had induction at week 38. I also heard scary stories about induction so was afraid too but it wasn't as scary as I thought. They gave me laughing gas to distract myself as the checking of dilation and inserting of pill can be uncomfortable. Induction may takes very long to be effective. My gynae says some people need more than 1 pill as 1 pill only lasts 24 hours but if contractions doesn't start, you don't feel anything after the insertion of the pill. My contractions became pain only about 18 hours after the insertion of pill. I was 4cm dilated at that time. Before that I was doing squats, playing with my phone, lying down on bed sleeping. However do take note induction may not works for everyone. If it doesn't works (means no dilation at all), gynae may advise you to go for c section. Luckily for me it works and I managed to give birth naturally.

36 wks already but doc didnt mention any inducement needed, will baby come out when she wants?

First time mum #nervous

36 weeks actually still considered early...Gynaes won't suggest labour induction unless it's necessary. Sometimes the induction will still fail and you will have to go through C-section instead so just a heads up on this risk. Best to let your baby come out naturally

Collecting Colostrum

Hey ladies… Maybe I can ask here. I'm 36 weeks and 2 days old, and I've started collecting colostrum. But it seems like this is still a pro and con for breastfeeding mothers and pregnant mothers. What do you think about this? And also every time I do this, I feel no contractions and so on. Does this have many functions later on for the baby? And one more thing.. there s one skin tag under the nipple. And it s super annoying. Anyone has this?

Pushy cord blood banking salespeople

Anyone else encounter incredibly pushy cord blood banking sales reps who keep contacting you? Feels worse than insurance agents - claiming to have our baby’s welfare in mind but are actually just focused on closing the sale 😡

Looking for those that do massage at home / preferably ala carte/shorter package (in case it is not suitable….)? Anyone has any recs?

Jevonbaby breast pump

Has anyone used this brand before? Saw good reviews and bought it but doesn't seem to work on me. Does it work on you? Causing me so much pain.. In the end I used my old pump.

Have been wondering if I should get Jevonbaby too! Can’t seem to find any balanced reviews and it seems like most reviews were from sponsored posts so a bit skeptical. Appreciate if anyone who bought it can share an honest review!
