So far no rashes haa. But if our LOs end up with rashes perhaps must clean the hands regularly. Today she starts to stare at both her hands for quite long. Previously was just briefly. But i doubt she knows those fists are hers yet.
For naps, indeed it's getting shorter and irregular. Maybe 2-3naps. Can be half hr or lucky then 1.5hrs.
Anyone baby wear her to nap? These days in order to get things done in the house I have to wear her. She can sleep well and long in Ergobaby. Sometimes if i need a nap, I also wear her so we can both nap together.

My boy sleep thru the night. Last feed ard 9.30pm wake up ard 6.30~7.00am. On FM every 3hrs. Used to be on 90ml but he look hungry as he always Shiok Shiok sucks both his thumbs. I read any article 150ml ~200ml per kg. This week just up his milk intake to 100ml per feed. In 24hrs he only drink 6x.
Daytime he naps ard 45mins to 1.5hrs abt 3-4x. 9.00pm in the room resting no music/tv. 9.30 last feed off light after then pat pat 20mins n off to bed. He more or less used to this routine can sleep on his own in his bed. Baby now 10wks old started this routine when he 4wks old.

Seems like at our baby age , they do nap less and my gal is like everyone, I very stress lor coz my parents kept saying why she naps so little, LO shld sleep 20 hrs a day.
My baby routine is to fall asleep at 7pm till next morning but not sleep through the night , wake up every 2.5 -3 hrs for milk, after milk usually fall back to sleep.
Piglet, so good your baby is sleeping through the night !

Planning to give bb signing a try. Probably start at 5 months, think it's too early?
If I sleep beside her or if she's carried, she can sleep for at least 2 hrs, otherwise, she catnaps, 30-45 mins. Will play with her for a while and get her to sleep again.
Does she nap longer if you are beside her? If your girl is not cranky, I guess that amount of sleep is sufficient for her.
Redvel - how do you wear her to nap? Can't lie down if wearing her, got special carrier for that?
She doesn't nap longer Ben if I m next to her, she will want to 'chat'
So sometimes I will leave her on he rocker to self entertain herself while I do my chores

Same here. Baby can sleep from night to next morning but wake up every few hours to drink milk. We co-sleep and do side latching at night. So both of us drift back to sleep or doze off pretty easily. If I am engorged, I will wake up to pump out. like now.

Yes noticed that baby gets more quality sleep when we co-sleep and switch on aircon. My baby also catnaps for 30-45mins

I sleep at 45degree. Haa. Not the best sleep position but I'll do anything for a nap.
But sometimes if she is in the mood, I can still lie almost flat and she is flat on my chest.

@Sa_rahhhh I believe their saliva can cause rashes, I use wet handkerchief to wipe my baby fists and face very often.
@redvel wow your baby so good, let h wear for long hour. I give up on carrier for now, my baby cry like hell when I prepare to put him on carrier. Maybe he doesn't like the infant insert.
The baby signing can start after that reach 4 months old but baby only sign back after they are 6 months old.
I have bought the black and white book from online last night, I heard baby will attract to black n white now. Hope my baby would love it. Haha

Must thank @snowfern for sharing on the library starter pack for babies. We went last week to sign up and got the pack and borrowed her first books. She really likes these by Jane Fosters. She will smile and kick her legs when I flip the pages and name her all the colors and animals. Provided she's not cranky in first place hah.

Such a relief. Bubbles finally FINALLY started more eye contact yesterday, and today, maintained quite a lot, then a few hrs earlier, a real smile! Wide, gummy, crinkled nose bridge! Week 8, I am hoping this marks the end of growth spurt/wonder week, my arms and boobs are sore from the constant attention-giving!
On another note, went to Dr again today regarding her nightly battles with me, Dr said it's colic and should end by 4th mth. UGH. She also has a naval hernia, which he said is common too, and should resolve by the time she's 1. He looked almost apologetic for being unable to help me, so I thanked him for the nice chat lol

Great thanks for the info piglet02! I head down to Dr Su this morning, and yes the waiting time was very long esp for first timer. (Two hrs for me today)
I felt that Dr Su explained my condition better than the dr from EYS. She does treatments stage by stage. She said my 脉 was very weak. Got some medicines to expel the wind first. Hope I will get better soon. ( at least now I am starting to have some hope

Yup, bcg jab will have pus in it, then crusty, then dry up and finally the scar...

Snowfern I've never heard of navel hernia so I consulted Dr Google. Does it cause discomfort to bb? Hope bubs feel better soon. On another note, 1year old is not far away. Always remind my hubby our LO grows fast and very very soon they ain't that little anymore.
Ahze, yes the bcg healing process is common, butt or arm. I kinda remember my pri6 bcg was like that too. And I recall how scared I was haa. Our bbs are lucky they won't remember a thing.

Yes our LO are growing so fast ...was like not long ago she is in my tummy, I m worried about GD etc and now she is 10 weeks old
Hope the growing will slow down a little for me to enjoy the baby stage especially I know I won't be having anymore kids after her. Ha the whole Ttc process is indeed a long one for me, glad I have 2 princesses now

Absolutely second that Gan. This baby stage will be over very quickly, must really enjoy our bubs, despite their constant middle-of-night wake up calls to us for whatever reason, endless expoopsions, difficult-to-soothe crying episodes, non-stop-need-to-be-carried-else-i-will-scream-the-house-down days etc. Their cooing, toothless grins and sweet smiles make it all worthwhile. This is a reminder to myself when the going gets tough.
While I will miss this sweet bb stage, I can't help but also look fwd to the day when she can walk and I can hold her by her chubby hands and walk together.
Hi 5. Me too also looking forward to the day I stop pumping. Haha

According to Dr. and judging by how she never react when they press it back into place, it doesn't hurt. If it does then I have to take her in for surgery T.T. but otherwise, I was told, and read, that it is common and usually resolves on its own within a year...
Our p6 bcg is our 2nd one lo! I remember the mantoux test, and how my classmates tried to cheat it by beating on their arm lol. Mine never reacted at all - totally no exposure to TB so I had to get the 2nd jab!!

My hubby was just commenting how she is growing too fast!!! I guess he doesn't see her as often as he likes, so mixed feelings about wanting her to grow up faster, yet not wanting the sweet and bittersweet moments to end!

It's normal for all parents to miss all the little milestones our little ones achieve. I regretted that I didn't take any photo of my baby bump when I was still pregnant with my boy. Dislike to take photos during the whole pregnancy period. I can't show him that he was in my tummy when he grow up.
So now, hopefully I can take as many pictures of him as memories. Haha~

Hi @Joanna Ong, I stayed in a 2 bedder room at TMC, delivered naturally without epidural and paid about $1.6k cash after medisave deduction. You can use this as a rough guide? Hope it helps!

Oh boy. Last night at our usual 10+ bedtime battle, bubbles had a meltdown. Started the usual, can't get comfortable, whining while nursing....burped her twice and still...fussing. Tried to initiate side nursing but, she still wouldn't stop crying with nipple in mouth, and so I got up to do a bit of baby massage to calm her down.
Worked for a bit, thought maybe, "wow this works!", then BOOM full on wailing, inconsolable for what felt like eternity, but was probably 15 mins. Nothing worked. Not left boob (her fave), right boob, that magical carry in the viral video by that Dr, hushing, singing, walking.....so out of desperation I told my husband to strip me while I stripped her, all this while holding her close to me....only then did she seem to slow down and draw breaths. Put her to my left boob and few mins later, it was as if nothing extraordinary happened.
We came close to taking her to kkh. Now, 2 feeds later, she seems back to normal, smiley and hungry as always. I think maybe she was overstimulated - her cousin and aunt came over in the day, then we took her along for mooncake delivery to my dad's place where he held her for the first time...
/long winded story over
Hope this doesn't repeat itself...I really don't know if I can tahan this nightly for 2 more months ?!? Is this common???

I just had something similar. Changed diaper, walked around, gave favourite human pacifier and did everything I could think of to soothe the baby but nothing works.
Turns out that baby has got pisai stuck in nose.

I'm going to start a better daily schedule and rigid bedtime routine from today and see if it works better. *wipes sweat off sideburns *

Thank you sa-rahhh for the information for 2 bedded. Any mummies stay in 1 bedded (TMC) willing to share the cost after medisave also?
Mine is c section ...cash about $8000 plus for 1 bedded after medisave . Natural shld be much cheaper

So if there's pisai (dried kind), do we attempt to remove? Last time I tried with mini cotton bud but oops I pushed even deeper. Now I stopped removing, though see already very gao weh. Those very out ones can still get rid easily. Now, my LO both nostrils have dried pisai quite deep and quite big, although it doesn't seem to bother her.

Lol can be quite satisfying to dig out the peesai, esp the larger boogers hurhur. I had lots of exp clearing my younger bro's snot 20+ years ago, so sticky, dry all I managed to clear for my bubbles with the suction bulb kekeke. But must be brave and not give up when she Wiggles luh
