Has anyone experienced patchy dry skin on the face during pregnancy? What did you use to overcome it

Dry skin on face

You may use any safe pregnancy moisturiser/serum on dry skin, hydrate more.

My 14 month old has slept from about 6.30pm straight for 12 hours since for the past months with 2 naps in the day. Recently, we’ve noticed that although we bed him around the same time, he’ll toss and turn till at least 7.30, sometimes 8. He also fights his pm nap though he’ll still rest for about 45mins-1hr. What’s the take of some mummies out there… skip nap and sleep at usual time to keep routine or nap and sleep later? He also wakes slightly later when he goes down late

Sleep patterns can be changed over the age, And also their total sleeping time and naps are also getting reduced. You can make him tired in the evening by playing , after that give him a wash, feed him well.

First birthday cake

Suggestion for bakers to check out for 1st year cake. Preferably no sugar (other than naturally recurring) added. Where did y’all get your cakes from??

For my girl last year, we got a slice of cake (that’s eggless) from chateraise for her to enjoy (mini cake smash). While the adults we get a proper cake from Edith.

Tips for weaning off pacifier

Hi, looking for some tips I could consider on how to wean my baby off pacifier. He’s turning 1 in March, so shall consider trying it soon. (I guess there’s no easy time to do it) #tips #Pacifierstop #weaning #weaningwithlove

I’ve read many say do it cold turkey. But I pity my firstborn. Lol. She’s starting to not want to use her pacifier at night, not sure why. I also don’t ask her to use it. She only uses it for sleep. She’s 15 months. Maybe for a start, give it to your LO for sleep only? Then gradually lessen the hours of usage.

Sleeping through the night

Hi, my 10mth old sleeps at about 6:30pm and wakes at about 7am. In between, he still wakes for another feed around 3-4am. Is this quite ‘normal’ and will he kinda grow out of this feed? If so, how do some of the mummies wean their child off? I’m just not sure if he’s not fed enough before sleeping or this is just part of his development. Am also mindful as he develops more teeth, that not cleaning his teeth after a feed will spoil them (he’s on formula). Thanks so much!

It’s common in this age to wake up in between.. if they completely depends on solids and they eat well means no need to feed in the mid of night .. 6.30 they sleep it’s common for wake-up as hungry the time gap is too long, they surely feels hungry !

Hi, does anyone know if there are Tumble Tots classes still being run in Singapore? And if so, where can I find them? Or would anyone know of similar classes like theirs. Thanks so much #advicepls #babyactivities #babyactivity #motherandbaby

Post-partum hair loss

It’s been 5 months since I’ve had my baby and noticed that my hair started dropping. Just wondering if this is a temporal thing or if it’s permanent #Hairloss #postpartum

Super Mum

Hey Esther, It’s not permanent and will go away. But do take care of your hair - I find cutting it short reduces the weight of your locks at the root and helps to reduce the amount of hair loss. Alternatively, I know of mums who really take care of their roots postpartum by going for treatments, etc.

Any suggestion as to where might be a good place to play with other babies in the current climate? My LO is turning 5 months and I’d like him to meet up with other babies for interaction. #1stimemom #firstbaby #social_activities #playdate
