Yesterday i just yelled at my 4 month old baby.. He was so cranky and clingy and I'm currently working from home.. i can't work when I've to keep carrying him.. he keeps screaming and crying that it makes me so frustrated and i yelled at him.. i know yelling at him makes things worst as he cried even worst.. but i really lost control.. thinking back I felt guilty as he was just a baby.. i could have be more patience with him.. just wanted to ask if the yelling could have traumatised him or affect any of his mental development? I really felt very bad about the whole thing..

I’m not sure about will it impact his mental development but yes it happens… same situation, but what I did is to talk firmly to my baby and let the baby know the current situation, if it doesn’t work and before I lost control…. I will put the baby in a safe spot and get out of the room and scream in the toilet for that 3-5 sec and dashed back. U might feel better…

Just needed a place to rant.. my husband is getting lazier in terms of looking after our baby.. I'm the one who carried out all the night duties (change daiper and make milk). He basically just sleep like a log.. fyi I'm also working as well.. when he reaches home after work or during weekend he also hardly helps out.. maybe just awhile and he will stick to his phone.. he even commented that our baby is very difficult to take care.. he even commented that our baby only knows how cry, drink milk and sleep.. this breaks my heart when he made that remark.. you don't even spend time to take care of him and understand him and yet you make that remark.. Sometimes i just feel very tired and very angry with my husband.. Finish ranting..

Hi there mama, My heart goes out to you. Please try to communicate what and how you’re feeling to your hubby. While it is true that, babies are not an easy addition to the family, it is also important for couples to communicate. Some husbands may find themselves at a loss when it comes to baby as they are detached throughout the process of birth as well as raising baby. Because the whole process involves a woman’s body mostly, they may find it difficult to be emotionally invested. There may be something he’s not telling you too. I’m not making excuses for him either okay? Just think that you two should have a heart to heart because you need his support. Parenting is tough enough, no need to make it tougher. Your child needs his father. If it’s difficult for both of you to communicate, get someone to mediate for you. Stay strong mama. You’re doing an amazing job.

I'm only 8 weeks pregnant and I have gained 2kg.. OMG right?? I hasn't been eating a lot infact.. just my normal 3 meals and a packet or milk in the middle of the night if I feel too hungry.. I would like to do some treadmill walking but am afraid of doing so as I'm still in my first trimester and I don't want to take any risk.... Yet I don't want to gain any unnecessary weight in my pregnancy. Any tips on weight management during first trimester?

Don't try to lose weight at this period. It's ok to gain any amount of weight as long as your pregnancy is normal. You will lose weight if morning sickness starts. Eat moderately and always remember not to eat for 2 even though you're pregnant.

Hunger during dawn

I'm still at my first trimester and these few days I've been feeling hungry during the dawn like 4-ish.. is it ok if I ignore the hunger? Will it harm the baby?

Nah, it's totally ok. Will not harm your baby. Remember eventhough you're pregnant, you're not eating for 2. I'm in my 2nd trimester and I always feel hungry around 11-12 am but I will always ignore it or just drink some water because I have terrible heartburn and I have to wait for 2 hours after meal to sleep. So what I did instead is once I wake up in the morning, I shower first then eat. Eat small meals but few times a day.
