I’m planning to bring rice (to make porridge over there, baby friendly seasonings such as chicken stock, ready made porridge and some food purees. Is it ok? Has anyone had any issue at customs??

Pigeon softouch teat keeps breaking

I’m using pigeon softouch size LL and it keeps on tearing at the tip! I think my baby’s teeth is causing it to break. I have been replacing the teats multiple times. I think it’s already been more than 5 pairs 😭 anyone facing similar problems? Is it because baby is just biting on the teat hard? Is the pigeon teat just too soft? I even tried moyuum teat and she breaks them too omg

Car seat in Australia

What car seats are suitable to use in Perth? Im planning to buy one to use in SG but will also be planning to travel to Perth.

Hi there! Congratulations on your pregnancy and upcoming travels to Perth! When it comes to car seats, safety is always the top priority. In Australia, all car seats must meet the Australian and New Zealand safety standards, so it's essential to look for a seat that complies with these regulations. For traveling to Perth from Singapore, you'll want to consider a car seat that is not only safe but also convenient for travel. Look for a lightweight and portable car seat that is easy to install and compatible with different vehicles. Some options to consider are convertible car seats that can be used rear-facing for infants and then converted to forward-facing as your child grows, or booster seats for older children. It's also a good idea to check with your airline about their policies and recommendations for traveling with a car seat. Some airlines allow you to bring a car seat on board for your child to use during the flight, providing an added layer of safety. Before making a purchase, I recommend doing some research on reputable car seat brands and reading reviews from other parents. Additionally, it might be helpful to visit a store in person to see and try out the car seats before making a decision. Overall, the key is to find a car seat that meets safety standards, suits your child's age and size, and is practical for both everyday use in Singapore and travel to Perth. Safe travels and best wishes as you prepare for this exciting new chapter! https://invl.io/cll6she

Milk for 1 year old

My baby just turned 1 and the polyclinic doctor mentioned I could start introducing UHT milk. For my baby doctor says I can give 500-750mls of milk/day. I thought formula milk is better since it has all the necessary vitamins for baby? Anybody still gives formula milk? And how much are you giving? I noticed the recommendation on the formula tin says 2 feeds per day. But I feel that’s too little? My baby is on the smaller side, 8kg, polyclinic nurse says it’s fine. So I thought the formula milk would be a good supplement for weight gain

ya, I still feed formula. My baby drink 210ml 4 to 5 times a day

Supplements for 1 year

Has anyone given the following supplements for their 1 year old? Sambucol drops (for immunity) Biogaia probiotics (for gut health) DHA drops by Nordic Naturals (for brain development) I’m thinking to start the following supplements when my baby turns 1 year old. The first 2 is in preparation for building immunity for school when baby goes in at 18 months. DHA I heard some good things. Is it ok to start all 3 supplements? Please share your thoughts or other recommendations.

I gave Biogaia before 1, then switched to Lactogg + Nordic DHA + immunped when she turned 2.

Application for playgroup through ECDA

I have applied my interest for 1 preschool next year November. How long does it take for the centre to contact regarding placement? Should I do anything more? As would really prefer to send my kid to that one particular preschool. Should I apply interested for multiple preschool just to be safe?

Depends on vacancy. I registered mine for playgroup since 12mo till now (24m) no slot, currently waiting for prenursery. But since I’m not working I can afford to wait with her. But if you need to go back to work anytime soon, best to register for multiple schools then call and go down often to check if there are vacancies.

Is it ok to change formula?

My baby is currently on Fairprice Gold Stage 2 formula. However, she seems to be liking it less as she doesn’t finish her milk. Is it ok to change the formula to those cheaper brands such as Grow or Dulac?

You can change brand then monitor her poo and pee and make sure it is does not caused constipation neither diarrhoea.

Should I change formula?

My baby is 27days old and I am feeding her natureone premium formula. Her stool today is more form than other days and she did not have a bowel movement yesterday. She also appear to be straining a lot when passing this stool. Last week, there were 2 days of this type of stool but small amount followed by her soft mushy yellow stool. Otherwise, rest of the days stool is soft and mushy. Is this constipation normal? Also, should I consider changing her formula? My supply is low hence supplementing with formula.

Should I change formula?

Hi, I would suggest see your PD for this. It might be that baby’s body is not liking this formula and the PD might suggest something else.
