I think every baby progresses at their own pace, am not saying it as a platitude, it's a mix of nature and nurture. Boys tend to mature physically sooner than girls, girls linguistically and emotionally.
That being said, I think the main reason bubbles' neck is quite steady now is due to the fact that she had to be fed lying on me while I recline due to oversupply, and held upright for min. half hr after every feed. That in itself is akin to tummy time I reckon.
On the 2nd day of her jaundice check, the polyclinic Dr assigned.to us saw that I had her wrapped, and he told me it helps greatly with strengthening her neck and back muscles, so perhaps u could babywear her more frequently on top of tummy time? There is a babywear sale this weekend *nudge nudge wink wink*
Forgot to add, I babywear bubbles whenever I go out alone, for a minimum of 3 hrs. About 2-3 times a week. And at home some times while.doing chores.if she is trying to skip a nap, wraps have plenty of.sleepydust! Tho lately she has been resisting it too now that she has better control of her head she's curious about everything!

Curious cos my friend's son also doesn't take to carriers well....do you think it's cos of his manbits getting squished? I have a friend with a 4 y/o son, she said that's the reason and the carrier they bought was hardly used..
Bubbles doesn't like to pee while wrapped, and when I asked the babywearing group, there were some mummies who said it happened to their daughters too. They would take them.out every 2 hrs or so for a breather, perhaps the pressure down there makes it uncomfy. Since I started doing so, bubbles has been more relaxed and less fussy about getting wrapped. Maybe you can try too!

@KWL car seat still half half haha coz recently he didn't get to go by car, his daddy too busy at work so can only go out with mummy on carrier
@hmm from my observation, baby neck muscle need to be strong to help them flip fully, my baby was stuck at 3/4 flip for few days before he can use his neck muscle to flip it fully.
this is what I mean 3/4 flip,body flip over but hand not yet. Tummy time is the best to build neck muscle, but I personally feel that let them sleep on tummy like quite boring leh.. So I create some fun with it, I start with baby gym.let baby sleep on his back, move right leg up towards his tummy, right leg down, left leg up( repeat few time) , both legs up and down, right feet touch left hand, left feet touch right hand, then I said ' 1, 2,3 , eeeahh ' I put his right hand straight against his body and flip him over, he is on tummy time now ,then I play cheat this time la.. I count slowly now 1...2...3...eeeahhh' flip him over and he sleep on his back .. Like that I keep repeat lo.. He enjoys the whole process

Now that I've mentioned emotional maturation, are your lo beginning to mimic your emotions yet? Last Sunday while waiting for hub to get bread, I played with bubbles by doing the "tchk tchk achaaaa!" face...she was grinning and smiling, and then I started frowning just for fun and teasing her...she gave me a shocked look and started pouting, I panicked and started the "tchk tchk" again...she looked confused for a bit then back to smiling.
I told hubby and he adamantly stated that I shouldn't torture her lIke that!.but but....it's a milestone, right??? She also likes to raise her eyebrows when I do so, but I always thought it was a reflexive action so....

This is very helpful! I will attempt it! Ever since someone posted the video on baby gym, I have been incorporating it into bubbles' deflating (read: farting) routine! MIL came in to my room this morning and upon seeing bubbles on her side babbling at the abc poster, asked if bubbles could flip yet. Almost, but not quite. 2/3 maybe? Legs haven't crossed over like @emk jr's 3/4 flip, but arched back, head facing up, definitely getting there. The few times I did the baby gym "rollercoaster" all it required was a nudge and she would be on her tummy...probably why she's not fond of "rollercoaster" XD@KWL car seat still half half haha coz recently he didn't get to go by car, his daddy too busy at work so can only go out with mummy on carrier

Yeah, I'm quite terrible at playing with bubbles
Another reason why she hates tummy time T.T We will be going for her first playdate with a bunch of FB punggol mummies tmrw, hope to pick up some tips from them!

I understand totally. I have 3 IG accts, 2 public - for my baby-related crafts with partial views of bubbles for anonymity's sake & my previous "vocation", and 1 pte as previously mentioned. Even so, there are no nudist pics of bubbles despite her proclivities, one can never be too cautious these days...and she might get mad at me in about 13 years when she finds out about that account!

Agree with snowfern. Actually I didn't post any of my baby's full pic on any social media. Nor did I share them with friends. I only take them for circulation within immediate family members.
Even when I bring the little one out to have a meal with friends, I will also remind them not to take pic.
My friends say I got mysterious baby. I feel more like a celebrity lol

Used to post daily too. Mostly foodies and nail art. But have lost interest liao
Talking about nails. How often do you cut your babies'? Mine easily trap dirt under her nails. And now that I started work, harder to cut regularly in the day. My inlaws don't dare to cut for her.

Ya lo I also just found out recently, PD said cow milk more allergic but then my baby mainly on breast milk, only 1 bottle of fm daily so maybe not due to cow milk, if goat milk can improve on skin problem I don't mind trying la. Anyway I got eczema and my hub got psoriasis so our baby got very sensitive skin.

My little one used to have red patchy skin and rashes. It was very bad after confinement. Then it became super dry and flaky. I went to apply California baby cream everytime after bathing and wipe down session at night and now we got smooth baby skin. Maybe u wanna try and see if there is an improvement?
Kiddy palace is selling it at $50+, Qoo can get same size at a cheaper price.

@emk I was discussing the cot bumper dilemma with one of the mummies I met today, she came through for us!
http://poshbaby.sg/collections/sales/products/breathablebaby-mesh-crib-liner
I bought 2 sets! Today she tried to flip but wind up her chin got caught on the bar, can u imagine my shock and horror seeing her in such an awkward angle...
Only brown left though, but price is hard to beat. Fast leg fast hand!

@emk my hubby got bad eczema, the type that on neck behind all creases red, bumpy swollen and painful, especially weather hot and work stress, can get cracked and bleed type. Bubbles is sensitive to polyester, one time I put blanket on her, it caused both thighs and forearms to have large patches of bumpy spots the very next day.
From what hubby tell me, so many Dr prescribe steroids, creams, moisturizers...the only thing that really works is to keep drinking lots of water, and moisturize in order for the skin to stay hydrated. And when the skin is better and no open wounds or inflammation, he found that bio oil worked very well in making it smooth until no trace of eczema remained, not even the darkened skin.
For bubbles, I dare not use the bio oil on her, I use j&j baby lotion, continuously moisturize and bathe only in water or with a few drops of Kodomo rice milk bath soap, then rinse off. Some ppl say bm bath also good, it works to control my hubby eczema, but I can't stand the smell of fbm so I never try for bubbles.
Maybe bubbles case is mild for now. Just sharing my experience for your future reference.

Is scissor easier compared to baby nail cutter?
I don't think my baby will ever sleep on my tummy on her back. Haha. She only will sleep chest to chest when on me.
Her nails grow pretty fast. If once a week cut then her nails are "dangerous" for everyone. She has been scratching her face and others who carry her. It's easiest to cut when she is on her bouncer napping. Now that I start work and when I'm home at evening , she is sleeping on her cot so a challenge to cut.

Ya faster apply !!! At first I feel some dry patches too, then start to apply sebamed but doesn't work leh ,. Now the dry patch got circular shape.I just found patches of dry skin on both of my boy'/ legs. Bought a huge bottle of the Cetaphil body motion, don't know if it works. If not I'll just buy the California lotion and use the other bottle on myself

Wow so chim. Feel so ignorant. I find the California cream good and effective for the rashes that my little one has. I even started putting on myself hahahahahahaha. Cos I read this newspaper article while eating that if the product is safe for baby, it is and will be beneficial to adults too.
