pinky
ur bb at first may feel strange to b on his tummy n won't lift his head up, start to lick the bedsheet,etc, instead but after a few times practice, he will soon learn to lift his head up n also use his arm to support his weight. start slow, a few min once or twice a day then slowly let him lie as long as he can tahan. once his head starts to drop or struggle a bit, then turn him on his back to rest. can wave a toy at him when he's on his tummy so that he can look at the toy, keep him entertained.
re: sling
ya, got to try. my hubby stared at me with murder in his eyes when i told him subsequently i prefer the traditional sling coz i was the one who initially buggered him to get the MIM kind of sling coz i didn't know how to tie. now my tat MIM sling become white elephant alr n its not cheap somemore coz i 'yaya payaya' went to get the sateen cotton type thinking i'll definitely use it. promised him tat i will TRY to use that also. (keep fingers crossed!)

re: bb feeding less/fuss
i also having such problem...not sure if its our feeding position. when my bb dun like to look at ceiling or me when drink milk (ie. the usual way hospitals show us on how to feed bb, cradle in ur arms), he likes to sit facing outwards n drink his milk. its a bit more tricky to feed but it works sometimes. then when he cranky, i'll jiggle n rock him as i feed him to calm him down.
actually not sure if i'm 'spoiling' him with all those movements when i'm feeding him but at least he gets his milk down n is not hungry = not yelling the house down anymore. the only thing i draw a line is to use toys to distract him while he is drinking milk. dun wanna start tat habit of using toys when its feeding time.
re: hair drop
heard tat its normal coz of hormones. during pregnancy, less hair drop so post pregnancy, tend to drop more hair n slowly resume to our normal amount of hair. but if too excessive until have bald patches (touch wood!!!) then best to seek help.
