Hi forever81, you can use a sterile gauze and wrap round your little finger to swipe your baby's tongue. This is taught by a lady from parentcraft. But must use sterile gauze...The milk stain may not go away after the first time, continue to swipe for a few more days...

Hi creamdonut, I find bb more efficient than pump for my case. Not sure if it is a norm. Usually, I will pump for at least 30 mins to make sure that the breast is fully empty. When the breast is empty, it should feel soft and not have any lumps or feel hard. If it still feels hard or heavy...

Sweetsnow: I ask my maid to buy her own sanitary pad. I provide all the other items except for pads. So far she hasn't bought any coz she said her menses haven't come for the past two months. Anyone whose maid encounter the same? I don't know whether to believe her or send her for checkup. She...

Rejoy28: You may want to try to wake your baby up earlier say at 7 am and then try to let her sleep by 8 pm? Try not to let her have more than 3.5 hrs of afternoon nap so that she will be tired by late evening n will sleep earlier?

Creamdonut: I think your baby's sucking is more efficient than your pump. How long do you pump each time? Maybe can try to pump at least 25 to 30 mins to fully empty breast?

Depends on babies but usually at four months.

My BB also used to pee and poo alot. He is also on total BM. But recently, he has been pooing about once or twice a day. If he poo once, the next time he poo will be alot...The poo will leak out of the diaper that kind. Very messy...

Sweetsnow: my bb has dry n flaky skin too. Brought him to see pd yesterday n she said it's ok. Told us to apply moisturizer. She gave us cetaphil intensive moisturizer cream. I'll monitor for a few weeks n see if it gets better. His condition is quite bad. Peeling skin all over his body n tighs...

Sweetsnow: So good of you to lose most of your weight during confinement. I still have a long way to go and dunno if I will be able to lose all. Sigh... Libra_bb: I have stopped swaddling my boy since 3rd week.

Any mummies here with baby with eczema? My baby is having serious cradle cap and I suspect he is having eczema coz his skin is getting very dry and peeling. Any moisturizer to recommend to treat eczema especially on the face?

Mrs Chun: My menses are also here. Went for postnatal checkup after six weeks and gynae says it's either menses are back or I'm having hormones imbalance. She gave me some hormones pills but I am delaying taking them. Will see how it goes next week. Have the mummies here regain their...

Hi MnM, I'm also facing the same problem. Baby is treating me as a pacifier and he has to suckle before he sleeps. Otherwise, he'll scream his lungs out. Tried to pat and carry him to sleep but it didn't work. I am also trying not to give pacifier. Will try out yaolan to see if it works.

Hi mummies, how do you latch your bb in lying down position? Won't the other breast start to leak?

Hi Winny, I also on aircon but not fan. My Cl says fan is a no no. On the last day of your confinement, remember to ask your Cl to show you how to bathe n clean your baby so that you'll be able to cope when she leaves. I still have abt 2 weeks more. Sigh... MnM: Did your baby burp after...

Eliaw: I'm 3 weeks after delivery already n still have abut of discharge. Not the heavy flow kind. If you have the heavy flow kind, it means there are blood clots in your womb. Mrschun: I wake up twice each night to pump. I did the same for my first one till abt 10 months. You can structure...
