For me I don't have lasting soreness after jabs but for these two vaccines, it was so sore for 2 weeks. But it was so effective. Shared food with my 2yr old sick nephew, not even a sniffle

I would suggest to avoid or to have in moderation

I ate a bit of chilli during confinement but was told not to as it might affect my baby through breast milk. It could be too “spicy” for the child and stomach. But if you do eat chilli during your pre

Sharp baby nails

How often do you cut/trim/file your baby’s nails? I cut/trim/file them with a nail clipper and electric file but they are still sharp. My baby will scratch me when she is frustrated.

As and when required. Do trim the nails everytime

Mine I used pigeon scissors. My LO nails grow very fast. I cut then about every 2-3 days. Still very sharp after I trim them.

VIP Member

Twice a week. Yes they are sharp again after few days.☺️

Once a week. Quite hard to cut as he is too active. Have to wait till he is asleep

VIP Member

As and when it’s needed. Nowadays, it’s almost every other day coz she scratches her face and neck.

I went through the same thing too. For the first 8 weeks, my LO could only sleep on me on the sofa, so that was so draining. Whenever she had colic pain and cried/screamed so pitifully, I would cry to
