Thanks for the comments. I decided to start giving her 180 ml when she reached 2 mths old after reading Mrs Wong's book that said could give 2-3 mth old baby 180 ml each feed at 5 feeds a day. My girl seemed quiite happy to take it tho she doesn't always finish completely each time. But she...

hiya have been lurking for a bit and interesting to read everyone's different experiences! does anyone's baby sleep an exceptional amount? my girl can sleep straight through from 8pm to 7 am everyday! She doesn't seem hungry enough to wake up at midnight even tho I will kacheow her by...

Hi Cynthia My Chloe also has dry skin after recovering from her rash. I'm trying out Cetaphil moisturising cream on her face. Seems to be working so far. Cetaphil is pretty good for sensitive skin according to my dr friend.

Butter8 - we really have a lot in common. My CL just left this morning and panic has set in! Tonight is the first night on our own. Actually, quite upset cos baby doesn't seem to like it when I carry her (except for when she is b'feeding). Hubby too. But my maid is really good at doing it...

hi there thanks for all the advice about the rash - realised it was the normal rash that babies get - just that the poor girl had quite a bad case of it! Anyway, my GP friend prescribed her a very very mild steroid cream to deal with the worst of it. Now much better. Confinement lady also...

Hi Does anyone's baby have bad prickly heat rash? Chloe is having quite a lot on her face. It doesn't seem to bother her but my heart pain when I see all the patchy splotches on her face! It's very red and looks a bit like acne. Any ideas how to help it cure faster?

Hi Butter8 When I read your post I could have been reading about myself. It's really very siong being a new mum. The tears kept flowing the first 10 days and I had been feeling super inadequate. Don't really feel very 'bonded' to baby too. Even when she's breastfeeding, I basically just...

Hiya Initially Chloe was a little jaundiced too so tried to stick to 3 hrly feeds (as much as possible - she's really her own person when it comes to when she wants to eat though). Re crying and wanting to be carried all the time - am also experiencing that in the afternoons. For the past...

hi all! I gave birth to baby Chloe on 15 Aug! Am now at home facing the challenges of breastfeeding (attempting total) and post natal blues and just learning to deal with a brand new person who is entirely reliant on me. I must say, I am not finding the adjustment easy and the first day I was...

congrats to all mummies who have popped!! very exciting but I am super nervous too. noticed that generally, the princes are bigger-sized than the princesses altho I am very big-sized, don't expect my princess to be much more than 3 kg when born. query - have any of you kena pain (like...

thanks bbnmum! yah I checked with another friend who delivered at TMC last year. just for keeping warm purposes. but then I usually feel so darn hot most of the time maybe I won't need re food near TMC - the beef hor fun at the zi char store in the coffee shop directly opposite (just cross...

Thanks bbnmum. The list seemed to separate nightdress (front button opening) from the dressing gown/cardigan. I was asking about the dressing gown - wondering if hospital really that cold such that need dressing gown/cardigan.

Am delivering at TMC too. Yes, the advice from the previous mummies would be great. Is a dressing gown really necessary? It was one of the things listed in their list of stuff. Feeling quite nervous already!

augbaby - just like u, gynae said baby already engaged! very exciting, she said can be anytime since aready 37 weeks. feeling totally unprepared though. came home and started wiping all the baby stuff and taking out all the things that were still in boxes. now alert for any signs of labour.

haha, thanks for all the responses on air con issue. it looks like there really is no hard and fast rule. I think I will cave in to air con needs quite fast.

I see there are no hard and fast rules. Well, if I eat a caucasian diet (like I eat a lot of beef actually), does this mean I can be 'exempted' from a lot of the confinement rules? Definitely going to kena scolding from my CL already for many things already. Hee.

kelly - heh, I think I am going to be like you.... and maybe pay for it later :p

hai so how? I am the very 'hot water bottle' type. Die die must sleep in air con. Even in office, I don't wear sweater or anything even when everyone else is freezing! Cynthia - what problems did you friends get after sleeping in air con during confinement? They got back ache? I can't...

Hi Cynthia - is your bb room quite cool to start with? You are lucky if so. My bedrooms at this time of the year are quite hot. I know what you mean though about not getting bb too used to air con. So you are not swaddling her? Have seen some ppl put blanket and all too and room is so hot!

kelly - am glad to hear that. I thought I must be the only mad person to think of putting newborn in air con room. My friend's son (newborn) doesn't sleep in air con and just with a fan and he's all swaddled up. I was in the same room while visiting, not swaddled up and felt so hot! Can't...
