Do you have a special technique to calm down your crying baby?
feeling judged as working mom...
Sometimes, being a working mother is a choice we make consciously. For me, pursuing a career as a working woman was a dream I chased, but when I had children, I started to feel the pressure from the judgmental eyes around me. Every day, as I strive to juggle work tasks and care for my children, I feel like I'm being scrutinized. My in-laws often inquire about my children with a tone of pity, as if they doubt my abilities as a working mother. Even my own parents sometimes make comments that make me feel inadequate. When we visit their house, there are often remarks implying that I don't give enough attention to my children, or that I should spend more time at home. They even compare me to my sister-in-law, who is a stay-at-home mom, without understanding the reality behind closed doors. They don't even know, my sister-in-law whom they proudly boast about, what her real behavior is like out there. She often gossips and talks negatively about others, she's extravagant, and it's not uncommon for her to show hatred. My husband always tries to reassure me that I'm a great mother and that I'm doing everything well. However, sometimes the negative words and looks from my in-laws and parents make me feel defeated and powerless. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How do you cope with these feelings? I would like to hear experiences and advice from all of you. Thank you for your time and attention.
screen time & autism
Regretfully, I introduced screen time to my little one at a very early age, hoping to buy some free time for myself amidst the chaos and lack of support. 😞 Now, my precious child is displaying autism-like symptoms (refuse talking, eye contact, scream when not getting screen time when he wants it... refuse eating if not watching tv/ video), and I can't help but blame myself. Has anyone experience similar thing?

2 month old baby drinking less milk
Hi, my baby is currently at 9 weeks old and the total daily milk intake has been reduced quite a lot since 3 weeks ago. The baby was drinking 650ml - 700ml and currently that has brought down to 450ml - 500ml (Baby can rarely hit 500ml a day). Baby can only drink 60ml - 90ml at a time. At 2 month check up, PD told me that it’s hunger strike and is not concerning since the baby is growing and no sign of health issue as well. PD also advised me to dream feed the baby if I want to increase the daily milk intake to meet the minimum daily intake (weight is 5kg) but the baby does not drink when sleeping. When I tried to feed more often, baby refuses the bottle and cry very hard. I feed 6 - 7 times now on baby’s demand. I have tried three different brand’s bottle, tried bigger teats, and three different formula milk but the situation still remains the same. Is this normal and will the intake increase eventually? Did you do anything special to increase the milk intake? It would be great to hear your thoughts. Thank you!
mother in law is nice, but...
Having a kind and caring mother-in-law is wonderful. However, my mother-in-law has issues from her past that affects the way she loves her grandchild now. She doesn't really bond with her kids, including his son (m husband) because when she used to work, her kids were entrusted to others... Now that she has grandchildren, she finally wants to be closer than the other grandmother (my mother) or anyone else. As a daughter-in-law, I feel a bit uncomfortable, especially because now she's only at home and still energetic. Every day she would ask about my son, even though my family isn't like that at all. The worst part is her own son (my husband) is never on her mind, so their focus (my in-laws) is solely on the grandchild. Granted, it's their first grandchild, but my mother isn't that extreme. After observing people my mother-in-law's age who have similar stories, it seems that past issues lead to a desire to be "closest to the grandchild." Does anyone have a similar experience? By the way, my husband and I are committed, even though he's the firstborn son and our child often stays with me, we don't want to favor one side of the grandparents over the other.
