Can't bear to see her photos although I wan to ...but scare will cry more..wait the ppl @ train tot I got what problem...
Mummies -
Can I check what's the average nap times for your babies at this age now?
Thanks!
Mine too having this problem. Lo will wake up every 1-2 hr. Super tiring. I hv to either carry her or latch her. Not sure when she is able to sleep for longer time.Thanks mummies.
How about babies in IFC? Do they have specific nap timings ah?
Asking cos... I usually put my boy down for a nap every 2 hours. He naps about an hour max then wakes up. But if I nurse him again he will go back to sleep. Wondering if I should just let him wake up or allow him to go back and sleep leh? Haha
Any other babies having sleep regression?
He's been at it for 3 weeks and counting. Wakes up every 1-1.5 hours at night. Hai. Good nights he gives me a 3-4 hour sleep in between, then continues waking up every hour
Thanks mummies.

anyone started weaning yet?
my boy is 5mths now. probably gonna start him on some rice cereal at 5.5-6mths.
the weaning process is super tedious. sigh. still remember the days when I got to make purée & cook porridge after work everyday/wkends & pack food whenever we go out for my elder one. think liao sianz. sigh.

And I was thinking things will be easier once baby starts on semi solids lol!
My milk supply recently dipped and my boy is on total bm due to an allergy to cow's milk and soy. So I can't wait to start cereals to take a bit of stress off. Is it okay to start him on brown rice powder or cereals at 20 weeks?
I'm thinking of weaning my boy soon. He's about 5 months now. Want to ask experienced mummies what to introduce first? Rice cereal? And how many times a day when first introducing?
Do you buy commercial rice cereal products or make your own?
Thanks mummies!

Same here. Dun knw when my lo can slp through. Previously he can woke up every 4 hourly for milk. Now back to 3 hourly again. Then also dun know why sometimes he can just suddenly cry n scream so loud. He can cry for a good 15 mins. No matter how we carry, pat, rock and latch. it just didn't help. This kind of situation already happened 3 times. Damn stressful lah
Same! Screams and cries suddenly. But when I carry and sing he calms down. No one else carry can calm him down. So I've become even more sensitive about letting him out of my sight.
Last night he couldnt even enter deep sleep. He kept waking up every 30 mins. Zzzzzzz zzzzzzz
Think brain too over wired liao.
btw, there r some cereal that comes with milk added in it & u juz got to add water kind. e.g. friscocream. u need to avoid those since ur boy allergic to cow milk.
I start with (brown) rice cereal first coz suppose to be least likely to get an allergic reaction. for a start, just give once a day in very watery form, then slowly build up the texture & increase frequency.
I prefer organic brands like happy bellies, Bellamy, healthy times, organix, etc. I started my elder one with happy bellies brown rice cereal. juz bought a box of healthy times brown rice cereal from ntuc last night for my younger one. more convenient la.[/QUOTE
Thanks so much for the advice Kopibeanie! Will look out for the brown rice cereal
Do u gv prorridge as well? Or juz rice cereal as a start?I start with (brown) rice cereal first coz suppose to be least likely to get an allergic reaction. for a start, just give once a day in very watery form, then slowly build up the texture & increase frequency.

my boy is at My First Skool. infant care is from 2-18mths. toddler is from 18mths-2+yo. the infant teacher ratio shld be 1:5 according to guidelines (https://www.childcarelink.gov.sg/ccls/uploads/Infant_Care_Guidelines.pdf). for his centre, they usually have 3 teachers to max 10 babies, & the infant grp don't mix with the toddler grp. the babies at infant grp don't follow a schedule (i.e. no fix feeding/napping time) unlike the toddler grp onwards, but the infant teachers will slowly train the babies to follow the schedule once the babies reach ard 15mths.
Hi. Can I ask when is the earliest time to do the preliminary reg for infant care at My First Skool?

But I think the nanny wil just put my bb in e walker as long as possible, so tat she will hv more free time.can sit walker already once baby can support his head well. old ppl prefer to use the walker coz can let the baby roam ard by himself, don't need keep on entertaining him. my grandma, parents & MIL also keep on nagging me to get a walker last time, but I didn't let my boy use one coz read somewhere that it might delay him from learning to walk & cause him to walk on tip toes. I got a jumperoo instead. good to keep him entertained for 5-10mins, but not recommended for long periods of use.

Hi mommy, u might wan to try Goon? My baby been using it for the past 5 months. So far so goodMummies -
Any diaper recommendation?
My boy uses merries - he had diaper rash when we used Huggies when he was a newborn. I've tried mamypoko too, but nothing as absorbent as merries in my opinion. He can wear it for hours and no rash.
He's outgrowing all the merries sizes due to his heavy bottom. Wanna try out another brand. Deciding between pampers and mamypoko.
Any reviews on them? Absorbency, sizing....
for my elder one I started him on rice cereal at 5.5mths, then rice cereal + purée at 6mths, then porridge + purée at 8mths, then porridge + diced ingredients at abt 10mths. abit slow compared to others. I know some start porridge at 5mths & don't even eat cereal. but I didn't want to rush him to start solids. I usually let him try 1 new food for a whole week, tats y take so long to intro a variety of food. also partly lazy & no time la. I usually prepare the purée/ diced ingredients during wkends then freeze & eat for the whole week.
most likely will do the same for younger one. but got to see how he copes with it & adjust accordingly la. my younger one got feeding problem. super distracted when drinking milk, esp during day time. can take up to 1hr, & stop & feed 3-4 times before he finishes 1 bottle. sigh. dunno how he's gonna react to solids. keeping fingers crossed.
