Baby rashes

Hi fellow mummies, does anyone know if this is heat rash? So far baby doesn't have skin allergies or eczema but this red rash came out of nowhere. TIA!#firsttimemom

Terrible at daytime naps

My 4.5 mth LO naps really terribly in the day and only willing to nap for longer periods when we are carrying her. Once we put her down in her crib she'll be up in 15 to 20 mins. She sleeps through the night fine though, so is this considered sleep regression? Anyone has tips on how to keep her asleep longer in her crib? Should I get a yaolan? #firstmom #firsttimemom

Back to work

Mums who have gone/are going back to work after maternity leave - how do you cope with the separation and emotions? I've trained my helper to take care of LO while I'll be away but now it feels like they've bonded more and I feel like LO will forget me since I'll spend a lot less time with her ): #firsttimemom #FTM

Sleeping position

Hi mummies! My LO is 3 months old and just learnt to roll to her side, but I noticed now she likes to sleep on her side with very arched back. Her head will be leaned back almost 90 degrees and she sleeps through the night like this. In the afternoon she sleeps on her back. Is this normal?#firsttimemom #advice

It's great that your little one is starting to explore different sleeping positions at 3 months old! It's normal for babies to start changing their sleeping positions as they grow and develop. Sleeping on the side with an arched back is not uncommon, but it's always a good idea to ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable while sleeping. Here are some things to consider: 1. **Safe Sleep Guidelines**: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies should be placed on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). However, once your baby can roll from back to tummy and tummy to back independently, you do not need to reposition them if they roll onto their side during sleep. 2. **Ensure Comfort**: Make sure your baby's sleeping environment is safe and comfortable. Use a firm mattress and avoid loose bedding or soft toys in the crib to reduce the risk of suffocation. 3. **Monitoring**: Keep an eye on your baby while she sleeps in her new position. If she seems comfortable and is sleeping soundly, it's likely not a cause for concern. 4. **Consult Your Pediatrician**: If you have any concerns about your baby's sleeping position, it's always best to consult your pediatrician. They can provide personalized advice based on your baby's specific needs. Remember that every baby is different, and what works for one may not work for another. As long as your baby is sleeping safely and comfortably, it's likely not a cause for worry. Enjoy this precious time with your little one!

What to do with collected colostrum?

I'm 39w4d today and delivering by c-sect on Friday, so I decided to try harvesting colostrum today! Ended up with 2ml and might try again tomorrow. I've stored it in the freezer for now but should I also bring it with me to the hospital on Friday? Heard that the lactation consultant/nurses will also be collecting at the hospital so don't know if I should bring or leave at home? #FTM#adviceplease

Week 22 Migraines

I've been getting headaches/migraines on and off the past week. Sometimes it comes with bright spots too and I'm too tired to even speak. Is this normal or any cause for concern and should I check in with my gynae? I'm on a trip now so maybe it's lack of sleep too but I'm concerned it's pre-eclampsia. No nausea or swelling though.#firsttimemom #advicepls

OBGYN appointments

I'm shopping around for a gynae now and wondering how I should schedule appointments with the new gynaes I'm considering. For e.g. my last appt was on 20 Sep when I'm at 14 weeks. For my first appt with my next gynae should I schedule it asap or just wait for 3 weeks since usually appts are 1 month apart in 2nd tri? #firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby #FTM

Jurong Clinic for Women or NUH?

Hi ladies! I'm at Wk 14 and shopping around for a gynae to see me till delivery. I heard good things about NUH gynaes and thinking of changing over esp cos I'm a westie. Planning on private route but I heard waiting times at NUH even for private is bad? Does anyone have any experience on average wait times for private and also is there any difference if I just make appts at Jurong Clinic for Women? Thanks in advance!#advicepls #FTM
