Hazel: What not to do is not to shake the baby VIOLENTLY, like holding the baby up and shake him/her in the mid air; gentle rocking is ok. And also try not to let bb sleep on the stomach especially when bb neck starts to grow stronger and is able to turn head on his/her own. This is because bb might turn head until face the bed and suffocate. Other simply is not to drop the bb, cos in the show got one scene where the bb died when mummy drop her to the floor when startled by a cyclist. So when taking bb out, either use a sling or use pram. It's hard to control our reaction when we are startled or shocked.
Joanne: If you believe in having good dates then go for it, or else ignore it totally. If you do want to choose dates, I think can go to those geomancer, like those who choose date for wedding can le. You can also do a check online if there are app that helps you. Basically like wedding dates, bb birthday should not fall on a generally unluckly date or date that clash with immediate family. Rging maid, just relax, not only does the maid needs to adapt to us, we need time to adapt as well. Go with your instinct (mummy's instinct are sometimes the best) or discuss this with your hubby if you are worried about the decisions you make. As maids generally are not well educated, they don't understand the risk of 臭丸. The reason she use is most likely trying to keep out the bugs from the clothes in the luggage. In fact, my mother has been putting 臭丸 in the clothes cupboard when I was young and only when I grow up and know about the bad effects did I ask to replace with something else.
