Hi Nature and Joasiss, try not to swaddle bb when latching, they feel too comfortable and tend to fall asleep. Tickle their chins or ears to wake them up.

Or great to hear that. But still in confinement period so how to get?
Any idea how long do we need to change the milk bottle?

I'm thinking if need to, will send my hubby down with shopping list, hahaha
Heard that plastic bottles change once every 6 months but not sure if I remember correctly

Hmmm my confinement lady did add sesame in her cooking n I have ginger everyday. Be it the fish,soup,veggie. My mil said is to clear the wind in my body. Dun think should hav problem with breast feeding.

yup, ginger increases jaundice. if possible lay off ginger for awhile till baby is ok esp if u bf-ing.
if not u can sun your baby to lower jaundice. morning or evening sun is good..
Hi all,
I have been a silent reader in this thread. I actually living in New Zealand and my EDD is 6th Nov on a planned c-section. I really enjoy the open discussion and the experience you guys are sharing though I am gonna give birth in NZ. It is quite a different culture over here as you can imagine in a European country. So trying to absorb as much knowledge on the confinement, first time mum experience etc. I have added myself in the facebook thread as well

Welcome SGNZ!! It's not easy to take care of a newborn on your own! Are you living in NZ permanently or it's just a temporary arrangement? Should be getting quite warm now so confinement should be quite a chore....will you have help at all?

Congrats grace. It bb is big.. So happy for u n u r the first Nov mama
Yea, give birth at other country is not easy. Actually I'm not Singaporean, I came from HK. All my family members are in HK, parent-in-law will help me in confinement. Luckily the culture of 2 places are quite close. So Im very happy to join this group, meet all mummies here n sharing.Hi all,

GG, are your parents coming over?
SGNZ, its never easy in a different country.. hope you find the balance between cultures. r u getting a confinement nanny?
My mum is only coming down to see me for 2 weeks (i guess you cant get any closer than Malaysia). In laws are supportive and have been/will be with me for longer - though asian, indian and chinese culture still differs slightly
cant wait to see my boy - cant imagine how he would look!
