Hi mummies, any idea when can we start bringing LO to public swimming pool for swimming?
Any idea whether or not we use hand sanitiser on baby's hands? Or how you clean baby's hands? He touched his soiled diaper...
I would use his body wash to wash his hand since he begins to put his hand into his mouth sometimes.Any idea whether or not we use hand sanitiser on baby's hands? Or how you clean baby's hands? He touched his soiled diaper...

I added the rice wine to the Chinese herbs when showering. Alternatively, u can pour it to boiled hot water and use to wipe ur body if you are not showering.hi ladies, how to use the white rice wine for cleaning body during confinement?
must dilute or not?
Yup, I used a capful of rice wine and added half a pail of water to it for wiping down twice a day. I didn't bathe at all my whole confinement.hi ladies, how to use the white rice wine for cleaning body during confinement?

No specific brand. Buy from Giant. They have very cheap rice winethanks ladies for yr replies.
i just bought the cheapest available white rice wine. don't need any specific brand right?
Recently my LO's elbows and knees have some pimples on them. Any mummies has the same issue? Not sure if I should bring LO to PD...
Mummies nw our bb at 7 or 8wks old.. wat is yr bb wgt and hgt..not sure if my bb growin well...
@JL72 thanks for sharing the massage video link. I tried it for the first time yesterday after the evening wipe-down- I could only do one repetition as my LO was in a hurry to drink milk. Lol. Will try again today.
@queeensg re fussy baby - I started turning on the radio when LO is in the room. That seems to keep her occupied until the 'goodwill' runs out.
Do you mummies feed babies first, then bath n massage them? Or feed, massage and bath?
Most welcome..as I was 1st time mommy n my LO had real bloated tummy n vomit abruptly made me so worried..now that her daily routine is there I felt relief and its good to share!
I massage my LO during evening in btw the meals so that my precious BM will not be wasted and after washed butt n wiped body.. (morning showered n evening wash butt n wipe body)
I just did a stomach massage on my LO after an evening wipe-down. This time I managed 2 repetitions...however she doesn't seem to enjoy it though. I read that I need to ask for permission from LO before I start. Do you do that or how long did it take your LO before she/he looks like they r enjoying it? My current customer feedback is not great- lol.
I also have that medela nipple cream but I only used it for the most 2 weeks and my nipples got used to pumping so no need to apply it anymore...wasted...should buy a smaller tube

Jiayou! Lack of sleep is part of the duty of a mum...our lives revolve around our LO the moment we became mummies...try to rest whenever your LO rest...no matter 10 or 15 min of sleep is also good! You will definitely feel exhausted if you only sleep at night...all the best!
If u r not against yao lan, u can try that. I had the same pb until I gave up breastfeeding cuz I also taking care all by myself... All turned better u until I tried yao lan . N to soothe bb, try "shhhh" to him as tho telling him to keep quiet... For my case, the shhh works micraculously.. The shh sound is similar to what bb hears in the wombMy 5wo boy is driving me crazy!! I'm so upset now. Since this week, I'm all alone with the boy. No more MIL to help. So instead of previous where I pump every 3-4hrs, now I DL him instead. He don't slp in aftnoon at all. Keep fussing. And when I latch him, he drink for only 5mins like that than he doze off. The moment I put him down, he wake up again and cry for the boobs. And so I carry him again and latch and he repeat the same thing over and over again.
I'm tired but can't slp cos he is not sleeping. I dunno how to manage him Liao.![]()
I will just tell my baby..mommy massage for you..
Dont worry months of bonding your baby will understand you. Just in case your baby wasn't ready shake the leg and make LO relax first before you start.
My baby fidget alot and scare itchy haha dont seems enjoy but she farted during my 1st massage session.
I dunno break down and cry my heart out countless time ah till now! Lol. So its pretty normal. . Jia you!Thanks Shirley and Pochacco.. I just breakdown. I think mayb my milk supply is not that much that's why baby suck and unlatch and than latch again. Hubby just told me to give FM instead..

If too tired to direct latch try pumping again? I dun think die die must DL...I am also experiencing reduced breastmilk supply. I hope I can provide for at least 6 mth before switching to FMThanks Shirley and Pochacco.. I just breakdown.

My LO also like that but you just need to learn how to put him down lightly or try few more times he will eventually fall asleep.
