Helpers losing patience with kids

Hi mummies, what are your thoughts on your helper losing patience with your kids (I have a 2.5 year old toddler) and raising her voice at your kids? My helper will get very irritated when my daughter spills water on the floor, or even when she wets her bed. My helper will raise her voice at my kid and sound very agitated. Thinking of changing helper.

For me, when it comes to the mental and physical safety of my kids, definitely change. Today she can raise her voice at your kids, tmr she can lay her hands on them. I wouldn’t wait till that happens. You’re supposed to be someone I can entrust my kids to when we go out to work and also help us offload some house chores otherwise we hire you for what right… If I have to constantly worry what will happen to my kids when they’re alone with you and still have to pacify you then I might as well do it myself.

My toddler has turned 2 but still doesn’t speak any words, except for mama and papa. She understands everything we say though, and gestures what she wants through pointing. Is this normal?

If you notice that there's a speech delay, during doctor's assessment, you can raise this concern and they can refer to KKH/NUH for a speech consultation or in other words access the situation to check further. They may seem to understand what we said, but in the long run, you will never know if it can be of any other reason that she communicate with you in her own ways to make you understand. Sometimes, we can be wrong, meaning they just refuse to talk and only speak or opens up more when they are in school. So do get it check soon.

My 9.5 month old baby just started refusing to drink milk. She refuses to suck from her milk bottle, and I have tried all sorts of ways to get her to drink, including feeding her from a spoon. She is still eating her meals normally. Any advice please??

Super Mum

Hey Charlotte! Have you tried dream feeding? My cousin used to only be able to be fed when she’s sleeping 🤦🏻‍♀️

Baby food maker

I’m wondering if parents out there bought a baby food maker and if so, how long you used it for? Or is it not necessary and can mash food by hand?

Avent 2 in 1 food maker is the best, i used it for about 3 months then i stopped but i use it as a blender now

Sleep and nap time

Hi mummies, how do you put your 5 month old baby to sleep? Do you still carry and pat baby to sleep for naps and bedtime?

My 5mo baby can only sleep when he latches, won't even sleep when carried or rocked. Tried to train him to fall sleep on his own by putting him in the cot but he'll cry so hard. A few times I let him cry and eventually he'll fall aslp on his own aft 15-20mins. Breaks my heart every time I hear him cry but no choice cz I've to go bck to work soon ):

Hi parents, I’m wondering how do you put your baby to sleep? My LO is 3 months and she’s getting heavier by the day, but needs to be carried (while walking) and pat to sleep still. Sometimes we need to carry her for half an hour to one hour before she falls asleep. Any suggestions for ways to put your LO to sleep other than carrying and patting her?

Waking baby at night

My 1.5 month old baby no longer wakes up in the night to cry for milk. She can go for 6-7 hours without crying for milk at night. Do I need to wake her up to feed her at night?

no need. she will wake when she's hungry

Iron deficiency

Hi mummies, did any of you have Low iron levels despite taking iron oral supplements? My iron levels are at 17 (<30) and the gynae recommended that I go for intravenous iron infusion, although I am not anaemic. Did any mummies go for that?

Any mummies had any experience moving house after giving birth (eg when baby is 2-3 months old)? Any tips or advice to share would be appreciated! Was planning to move in the third trimester but our BTO got delayed due to covid.

Get a mover and don’t carry the heavy boxes yourself
