My daughter is a full-on tween. That means she doesn't like shopping in the kids section anymore! Boo. Any suggestions where I should shop for my 11 year old?

I just had a baby and I feel very 'unsexy' and I hate that my husband thinks my now larger breasts are super-hot. It turns me off especially because I'm breastfeeding my 6 month old. How do I deal with these feelings and how do I also strike a middle ground and keep my husband happy as well?

Any way to get you in the mood? Watch porn?

Can I know what's the first thing I should do when my baby starts screaming and crying - other than calming down (i'm working on that!). I always get flustered and try to soothe her, but I think I only make it worse. This really frustrates both baby and me!

I think it's still the standard. Pick them up and rock them little and comfort them by making white noise like hushes...then talk to the baby in repeat mode that u are going to check baby diaper or something. If baby is feeling discomfort like colic, gassy, fever, teething - all these will cause baby to cry - u can try babywearing to comfort them during long periods of distress

Is there anything we parents can do to make the transition to pre-school as easy and as little traumatic as possible for our LOs?

For about a week prior to starting cc, I brought my child to the school at the same time that she would be going if school has started. This is to get her used to a new morning routine and also to observe other kids going to the school and how the morning temp checks are done. I also brought her to the school in the evening to see how the parents pick the kids up after school. On the first day of school, she was already familiar with the morning routine and minimized any anxiety caused by change of routines. We also read a lot of picture books on going to school and discussed the various activities that she would be doing in school.

What are the social skills kids should have by the time they enter P1?

I reckon by the time a child gets to primary 1, he or she should be able to be comfortable in a social setting for a longer period time compared to pre school or kindergarten. He or she should also be able to get along with other children and make connections with his teachers and peers. Also, he or she should be comfortable in a setting where they need to buy food at the canteen and interact with "strangers" like the canteen aunty etc.

Do I need to use toothpaste when caring for my baby's first teeth?

When dealing with the task of cleaning baby's first teeth, use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush or finger brush. Be gentle -- and at this stage no toothpaste is necessary, just water, unless recommended by your baby's dentist of course.

When should I start brushing my baby's teeth?

If you have seen your baby's first tooth emerging from the gums, you can start by wiping with a soft moistened washcloth or piece of gauze, twice a day especially after meals and before bedtime, When the first baby teeth start to pop up, you can move on to using a toothbrush.
