facial treatment

Can pregnant mums go for facial?

Yes - normal facials no laser or rf treatments. But some may feel uncomfortable lying down on their back for too long when they are getting big in their third trimester

Yes just let the therapist know that u are pregnant so that they can take precautions

Yes - just don't do lasers treatments etc and let your therapist know you're pregnant so they will be extra careful on products they use

Yes

Holding Hands In Public

How many of you mums prefer their husbands to hold their hands when in public? And how many dads will hold your wife's hands? Because i always see dads will hold and care more to their child especiall

Heheh I will ask my hubby directly if he forgets. if my hands are engaged, he will usually put his hands around my waist

Sometimes pushing pram can still hold hands with hubby. If carrying baby, can still stand next to each other.

It’s normal for most guys to focus more on the kids than wife at this stage.

Before kids it may b after kids dads busy with taking care of children when we r outside ..

Well, if I have to choose between my child and my hand, I’d choose that he hold my child’s hand. But if hands are free, it’s always nice to hold hands. 🥰

Breast pump

Hi Mummies, can share with me which breast pump is good ? The manual one or the electric breast pump? And the brand too.

Definitely double pump electric if you're going to continue pumping after returning to work! Double pump halves the time you need to pump.

Spectra is good

Thank you so much mummies for ur reply ❤

Electric will be less tiring. Buy double pump its faster and heard from ppl that u will have a more balance breast. Avent was not bad i follow as wat my milk bottle brand is

Electric. Spectra is good

mix?

Breast milk can mix with formula?

Breast milk first and not enough then TOP up with formula

Separate feeding would be ideal

TapFluencer

I would give the breast milk first to ensure baby takes in the good stuff first. If insufficient then give fm in a separate bottle
