Parents with children who are close in age gap

Hi I have 2 kids who are 2.5 years apart. I realised the baby toys that my elder liked before and could really figure how to play(not those battery toys). However my younger one doesn't seem to take interest in the same baby toys as her elder brother. Only some baby toys they liked the same (elder fav toys when he is baby) and some no. My concern is I'm still keeping the baby toys that younger one doesn't seems to take much interest in but to me I want her to learn and practise her fine motor skills playing the toys. She is 24 months old now and I realised if she likes the toy she will figure and know how to play. But when she doesn't like the toy, no matter how I rotate the toys since 1 years old, she still doesn't show much interest. I'm trying to clear baby toys already so I'm also quite hesitant until she is able to practise the fine motor skills for that toy, for example turning the knob etc. Thing is my elder one can turn the knob when he is 16 months old and I know different babies grow at their own pace. My 24 months old can sort colours, knows body parts, ABC, can match picture to picture, play pretend feeding animals etc but I'm still waiting for her to turn the knob and match the shape sorter toy. Do you think I should just give away the baby toys or continue to wait it out? She already seems uninterested I kept bringing out and keeping the same old toys. 😅I just want her to learn and practise new fine motor skills! Anyone encounter same situation as me? Also cause I wanna declutter 😅

Herbal life protein shake

Any bf mummies taking herbal life protein shake? Is it safe for bf? The information I find in google is somewhat inconsistent. Some articles saying not safe some says its safe. I bought the protein shake before I found out that I'm pregnant and now already gave birth and trying to finish the tub - not trying to lose weight or anything. TIA!

don’t take it anymore. why risk your pregnancy??

Formula cow's milk or soy milk?

Hi mummies, my 2yo had episodes of diahrrea on and off(probably due to diet as well been eating whatever we eat and also caught stomach flu from cc) and doc suggested soy milk..doubt he is allgeric to cow's milk though..he's been on fm and bm since newborn..all along he is on illuma milk powder(it's very exp) and during one of his diahrrea episode we changed to Mamil Soy milk powder and he accepted the taste eventually...diahrrea also improved(not sure milk or medicine helped). Now hubby wants to change to Mamil Soy(more economical) since LO accepts. Is there any concern whether toddler is on cow's milk or soy milk formula? In terms of nutrition etc. Is Mamil Soy milk powder good as well? #advicepls #pleasehelp #1stimemom

Hi I'm 22 weeks pregnant now. Over the past 2 to 3 days, I'm having stomachache diarrhea kind of pain on and off-have been going to toilet as well not exactly diarrhea too. Took charcoal pill once and relieved symptoms. However it's back again. I will feel stomachache on and off. Is this normal for 5 months pregnant? Or is it something wrong I ate? No vomit though.

Hi mama, congrats on your pregnancy. You may want to visit a doctor if pain persists.

Does solid food affect milk intake?

Hi mummies, would like to check as my LO milk intake declined after taking solid food especially so for now at 8mo..is this normal? My LO recently kept vomit milk too.. should i cut down his solid intake as I understand under 1 yo, milk will still be the main source of nutrient? Currently I am only feeding LO puree and the amount is half of small bowl. Thanks!

I usually gave my LO milk 1 - 2 hours later after she had her solid food.

Hi mummies, would like to know for 6 month old baby, how much cereal do I add in his milk bottle? My LO drinks 240ml and is 1 scoop (60ml) of Frisco rice cereal ok? This is for the night feeding. TIA!

Hi mama I realize Frisco cereal will become pudding like texture if add too much. I'm using Gerber rice cereal. And if you use oat cereal the teats you have to cut if not it can't pass through

Hi mummies, I've recently got a helper and so far she excel in doing housework, making the house clean and tidy. However, she rearranges my stuffs like utensils putting on kitchen counter top with a holder instead of putting in drawer. We hire her mainly to take care of my LO who is 5mo now. For now since its WFH, so she does the housework since I am home most of the time. However morning when I wake up I want to bond with baby she will take baby from me to play with him alone. Is that right? This helper recently started work with me and I am still monitoring her too. I also have the fear of LO not wanting mummy next time. How do u manage your relationship with helper?

Can speak with her?

Hi mummies, at what month does your LO learn to flip? My LOp have flipped a few times successfully at 4mo and sometimes unsuccessfully (guessed he is still learning). However he have stopped flipping and doesn't bother to try. If we put him at tummy position, he doesn't want to stay in that position for long. I understand that babies have to learn to flip then can proceed to crawl, sit etc? We always let him flip and tummy time on the bed, should we change to let him practise on the floor instead?

Don’t worry:) no rush. Still early. I would stick to a firm mattress/mat for now.
