Why is my baby so difficult to take care of? Everynight when i bring him home from my mom's house, he will fuss and cry until he fall alseep. I told the pediatrician that, and she said that i can solve this problem by ignoring him, just let him cry to sleep for 3 nights and he will stop crying when he realised that he isn't getting any attention. But i can't bring himself to do it....
Yeap, I was chatting with my friend (whose mum is a nanny) today too. She told me that's what they usually do, to let baby cry to sleep. I cant bring myself to do it too. But luckily my girl's still okay on sleeping on her own. Except on some occasions that she'll whine for some attention.

Nowadays my girl loves flipping so much that she even flips when I put her in pram & she can stay that way while I shop the entire supermarket. People keep giving us weird stares. :(

My hubby & I are both sick now too. Had to wear mask all day in case we spread our germs to Aly...

ur gal so guai, my gal her neck still not strong yet, when i put her sitting on e sofa, she will look down, after a while she will slide down. sigh, but must train her neck, i read tat tummy time is essential for her to sit upright so tat she is ready to take solid food. Tats wat i read from baby center website.
my girl's neck not v strong still, but she just like to be seated. so i will let her sit on my thigh n her back on my tummy, so her head can read on me. but most of the time she wont want to rest on me. watch tv till v excited like that. so her head will move abit lo. just use my hand to support..

she now always push her tummy up den slide down wherever she's sitting at. -_-" my mum tried giving her taste abit of the porridge water, she will spit out. so i dont think she's ready for any semi solid food.

last sat went for her 2nd dose vaccination of the 5-in-1. she got a fever that night but after 1 feed of the panadol, she's ok liao. phew!
she's ONLY 5.48kg! super duper underweight lor. haiz. the nurse was saying some 3rd percentile thing. which i dont quite understand. search online, also dont understand. -_-"
intend to put brown rice into her milk since she cant bite or eat solid food yet. hope she gain weight from there...

she is in the process of learning how to flip. about 85% turn. left her arm area she cant move to be able to flip. so i have to push her each time.

this is what i found..

Before Birth


  • Teeth begin developing while the child is still in the womb. Babies begin developing teeth between the third and sixth month of pregnancy, but some babies develop faster or slower than others. The mother's diet during pregnancy can impact the health of a baby's teeth.



Infants and Toddlers

  • While all children develop at different rates, most children begin to break their first tooth between 5 and 7 months. The crown of the tooth develops first and before the tooth even breaks through the skin is almost fully developed. Once the tooth is developed, it begins "cutting" or "breaking" through, often causing discomfort. However, it isn't until several months later that the root of the tooth is fully developed. This step will not cause the kind of pain that was associated with teething. The teething process lasts until a child is 3 or 4 years old, then begins again when a child starts developing permanent teeth.


Children

  • By the age of 3, most children have approximately 20 teeth (10 on top and 10 on the bottom). These "baby teeth" are designed to fit a small mouth. When a child is 5 or 6 years old, the child's mouth becomes ready to erupt the larger adult teeth. Once the permanent teeth are fully developed under the skin, the baby teeth will become loose and eventually fall out. While some children may experience discomfort while their adult teeth erupt, most will experience little to no pain.


Care

  • It is recommended that children begin to brush their teeth (with help) as their first baby teeth are coming in. However, dentists recommend that children under the age of 3 use water or a baby tooth cleanser to brush their teeth. Children 3 and up should use a children's toothpaste. Children should also begin an annual dentist visit on or around their first birthday. Brushing and dental visits will help prevent unhealthy gums and unhealthy teeth.
