my baby stand too soon?

I just had to share my excitement and a bit of surprise with you all! My baby is 7,5 months old, and today he stood up for the first time! 😲 Although he still needs support and holds onto furniture, seeing him stand was such a thrilling and unexpected moment. I wasn’t expecting this milestone so soon, and it really took me by surprise. Have any of you experienced this with your little ones at this age?

Car seat in Australia

What car seats are suitable to use in Perth? Im planning to buy one to use in SG but will also be planning to travel to Perth.

Hi there! Congratulations on your pregnancy and upcoming travels to Perth! When it comes to car seats, safety is always the top priority. In Australia, all car seats must meet the Australian and New Zealand safety standards, so it's essential to look for a seat that complies with these regulations. For traveling to Perth from Singapore, you'll want to consider a car seat that is not only safe but also convenient for travel. Look for a lightweight and portable car seat that is easy to install and compatible with different vehicles. Some options to consider are convertible car seats that can be used rear-facing for infants and then converted to forward-facing as your child grows, or booster seats for older children. It's also a good idea to check with your airline about their policies and recommendations for traveling with a car seat. Some airlines allow you to bring a car seat on board for your child to use during the flight, providing an added layer of safety. Before making a purchase, I recommend doing some research on reputable car seat brands and reading reviews from other parents. Additionally, it might be helpful to visit a store in person to see and try out the car seats before making a decision. Overall, the key is to find a car seat that meets safety standards, suits your child's age and size, and is practical for both everyday use in Singapore and travel to Perth. Safe travels and best wishes as you prepare for this exciting new chapter! https://invl.io/cll6she

Baby boy circumcision

Hello Mummies ! I know I'm a little too late, baby is already 3 months old ... But where would u recommend to do circumcision ? I tried called Sidek clinic (highly recommended by many mummies) but they do not have available slots for the moment & baby would be 4 months old on their next available slot. Would prefer to get it over and done with when he is still baby... :(

Hi there! You're definitely not too late to consider circumcision for your baby boy. It's great that you're looking into this for him. It's understandable that you'd want to get it done while he's still young. Since Sidek clinic doesn't have available slots, you may want to consider checking with other clinics or hospitals in your area that offer circumcision services. You can ask for recommendations from other moms, do some online research, or even call around to see if there are any other options available sooner. It's important to choose a reputable and experienced healthcare provider for this procedure, so take your time to find the right place. You can also discuss any concerns or preferences you have with the healthcare provider before scheduling the appointment. I hope you're able to find a suitable option soon and get this taken care of for your little one. Best of luck! https://invl.io/cll6she

milk needs in baby 4 months old

Mom, is it normal if my baby (4.5 months old) breastfeeds very rarely, mostly only 5 times a day... he's not very active, he refuses to breastfeed unless it's his feeding schedule. He's very skinny compared to other babies his age... I'm worried but confused about what to do. My mother and husband say we don't need to go to the doctor for now. After all, he's not sick. But I'm still not at ease because my baby rarely cries too.

Hey there! I totally understand your concern about your baby's feeding habits and weight gain. It's normal for babies to have different feeding patterns, some may breastfeed more frequently than others. However, if your baby is only breastfeeding 5 times a day and seems less active, it might be worth looking into. Since your baby is also on the skinnier side compared to other babies his age, it's important to monitor his weight gain and growth regularly. You could try offering the breast more frequently throughout the day, even if it's not his usual feeding schedule. This might help increase his overall milk intake and ensure he's getting enough nutrients for healthy development. If you're still worried, it wouldn't hurt to consult with a healthcare provider or a lactation consultant. They can provide personalized advice and check if there are any underlying issues affecting your baby's feeding habits and weight gain. Remember, it's always better to address any concerns early on to ensure your baby's well-being. In the meantime, keep an eye on your baby's overall behavior and well-being. If he rarely cries but seems less active, it's still essential to ensure he's getting the necessary nourishment for his growth and development. Trust your instincts as a mom and seek professional guidance if needed. Take care, and I hope everything works out well for you and your little one! https://invl.io/cll6she

Hi does anyone know if I can bring Imani i2 plus on board the plane?

The battery whether it meets the approved guidelines.. thanks

Hi there! Yes, you can bring the Imani i2 plus on board the plane. However, when it comes to the battery, it's important to ensure that it meets the approved guidelines set by the airline and aviation authorities. Firstly, check the capacity of the battery. Most airlines and aviation authorities have specific guidelines regarding the capacity of batteries that can be brought on board. If the battery capacity exceeds the allowed limit, you may need to make special arrangements with the airline or consider alternative options. Secondly, make sure the battery is properly installed in the device and securely packed. This will help prevent any potential damage during the flight and also ensure the safety of everyone on board. Lastly, it's always a good idea to inform the airline in advance about the battery and device you plan to bring on board. This way, they can provide you with accurate information and any necessary instructions to ensure a smooth travel experience. Overall, as long as the battery of the Imani i2 plus meets the approved guidelines and you follow the necessary precautions, you should be able to bring it on board the plane without any issues. Safe travels! https://invl.io/cll6she

What is baby’s height at 7.5 months

What is your bb’s height at 7.5 months ? Mine has been stagnant 65cm since 6months ☹️ he’s a boy

It's better to gauge based on the percentile chart in the health booklet, and whether he's been growing well all throughout. Sometimes there's a blip, but if all other stats are fine and he's hitting his developmental milestones , it's probably no cause for worry

motor development

I'm feeling a bit worried about my baby's motor development. My little one is 4.5 months old, and I've noticed some things that are starting to concern me. During tummy time, she struggles to lift her head and doesn't push up on her arms like I've seen other babies do. Oh and also, she hasn't shown any interest in reaching for or grabbing toys. When I put a toy in her hand, she doesn't seem to grasp it firmly... Are these signs something I should be worried about at this stage?

Hi there! I completely understand your concerns about your baby's motor development, but try not to worry too much just yet. Every baby develops at their own pace, and these things can vary greatly from one child to another. At 4.5 months old, some babies may not be showing much interest in reaching for or grabbing toys, and struggling during tummy time is also quite common at this age. However, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on these things and talk to your pediatrician if you're feeling worried. In the meantime, there are some things you can do to help encourage your baby's motor development. You can try giving her plenty of supervised tummy time to help strengthen her neck and arm muscles. You can also offer her different types of toys to see if she shows more interest in certain ones, and gently guide her hand to grasp them. Remember, every baby is unique, and it's normal to have concerns as a parent. Just keep an open line of communication with your pediatrician and continue to provide love and support for your little one. You're doing great! https://invl.io/cll6she

Baby crying always looking left and right looking scared

Hi all, anyone of you encountering your baby crying out of nowhere (not feeding time). my LO like to look left and right and always crying looking very scared of his surrounding. Please share with me if any~

Oh dear, it sounds like your little one might be feeling overwhelmed or scared. It's not uncommon for babies to cry when they feel anxious or unsure about their surroundings. One thing you can try is creating a calm and soothing environment for your baby. Dim the lights, play some gentle music, or simply hold and comfort your baby to help them feel secure. It's also possible that your baby is experiencing some discomfort, such as gas or colic, which can cause them to feel uneasy. You can try gently massaging your baby's tummy or using some techniques to help relieve gas. Another thing to consider is whether there are any loud or sudden noises in the environment that may be startling your baby. Keeping the surroundings peaceful and quiet can help your baby feel more at ease. If you notice that your baby's crying and fearful behavior persists, it's always a good idea to reach out to your pediatrician for further advice and support. They can provide you with personalized guidance and ensure that your baby is healthy and happy. Remember, you're doing a great job as a parent, and it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Hang in there, and I hope these suggestions bring some comfort to your little one. Sending warm hugs to both of you! https://invl.io/cll6she
