1yo refused to drink water
My 1yo girl just reduced from 4 to 3 formula feeds a day to encourage her to eat more. However, she refused to drink any water and gets badly constipated. We tried using her cup with straw, my cup with straw, milk bottle, she just struggles to get away without tasting. We also tried giving her a tini cup to sip but she chokes on the water. Tried sippy cup, refused to touch. Warm, cold, fruity water, all nope. Only time she drinks some is when I use soup spoon to feed, but she gets bored after awhile too. Help!!😭
Sleeping hours
My 7mo sleeps at max 9 hours at night and wakes up 2/3 times. This means if she sleeps at 8pm, she wakes by 5am and refuses to go back to sleep! Her combined naps in the day is only 3+ hours. Is this normal? Any advice on lengthening her sleeping hours?
Feeding solids
My baby is 6mo but still cannot sit. Is it ok to feed her any solids? Does it have to be puree?
Crying before bedtime
My 3mo baby is used to being carried and rocked to sleep. However recently, despite having ample naps and keeping to her usual routine and observing her awake period, she cries very fiercely when carried like she is in pain and refuses to sleep. Yet she stops crying and can even smile when we put her down (she doesn't fall asleep though and will still start crying if we leave her alone). We tried carrying in various positions but nothing works. Her tummy doesn't seem to be gassy and we have already made sure she's fed and diaper changed. Any idea what can be causing the crying? I only heard of babies crying when put down, not when carried, we are v perplexed..
Night weaning
My 3+mo baby, around 6kg, is still waking 3-4 times a night to latch. I can tell sometimes it's just for comfort because she only latches for 5 mins before falling back asleep and doesn't suck very hard. Is it safe to start weaning her off the feeds at the age or do I need to wait till she's older? I cannot force her to drink more in the day, she will gag if I insist. She also doesn't take pacifier, we tried various brands and shapes but she rejected all.
Clean baby nose
My 3mo baby doesn't latch properly when her nose is block. PD and friends suggested to clean baby nose using Sterimar and nasal aspirator. However, the Sterimar spray is so strong! The dirt usually ends up going up the nose and down the throat. My baby also cries when I suck with the nasal aspirator, I think it hurts her. Mummies, is it necessary to use the nasal aspirator with Sterimar? Any other methods to clear the nose?🥺
Infant care no aircon
Hello, anyone knows of any infant care that does not have aircon in the west area? My baby girl is really sensitive and tends to have blocked nose when sleeping in aircon
Bottle refusal
My baby girl is 3mo and had been latching and drinking from bottle since birth without any issue. In the past week I have increased the frequency of latching and she suddenly rejects the bottle, she seems to choke everytime after taking a few sips and refuses to take more. Anyone faces similar issues before and any advice on how to make her take the bottle again? I read online to let someone else do the bottle feeding so my husband tried but so far it did not work too.
Vagina stitches
It's 6 days after my normal delivery and my stitches still hurt a lot, with sharp pain when sitting and sleeping. Is this normal?
Post natal massage
Anyone tried Alltentic's Jamu postnatal massage? Are they good and any therapist to recommend?=)
