Hi all,

Currently facing issue with between my mum and wife on babysitting. Any advice on how solve this?.


Thank you

you have to explain the issue.

Let me guess... Hmm..

explain more?
what is the argument about?

I always tell the wife privately to give in to old folks.

then privately tell mum to give in to wife coz just give birth, emotional....

Currently my son are 4month plus, we have a kakak to look after my son just my mum will be at my place to monitor. Kakak still new, so me and wife think is better for my mum to monitor the kakak.

Issue arise when my mum at our place my wife start picking the way/method handling my son. So now I caught in the middle and have no idea how to handle the cold situation between my wife and my mum. And now my wife start to hate my mum.


Any advice?. Thanks

so your wife want your mom to follow her method of raising the kid correct?

Yes my wife way, just sometimes my wife are too overly concern and protective on how my mum handling my son. Worried she have depression if carry on like this. My wife will keep on comment this and that cannot ( by the way my wife start work after 3 month maternity leave). Ever since she start work she become like this.

Should I tell my mum not to come over to look after?.

for my case i will support my wife ..as it will be good for her to bring up the kids with wife way and of course i will ask mum to give some advice

ah this problem. if you have good relationship with your mom, just ask her politely to follow your wife's way. explain to your mom that waifu very stressed and read all these books. Emphasis should be made to your mom that your mom's method is not wrong. but your wife has her own way as well. then need to tell your wife to be more patient. when my mom jaga my son. my wife also very stressed. i just tell her close one eye. hahah.

u ask ur mom to monitor? so basically asking a favor. u and ur wife. then if ur wife having issue with mum, no need ask help to monitor. so mum can go about and enjoy her time no need to monitor ur son

Hi guys,

We just joined the parenthood 2 weeks ago. Any advise on how to clean up the baby when after passing urine or motion? We are using baby wipes, is that alright?

congrats buddy. yup. wet wipes gonna be your best friend. open diaper and wipe away. lol. for urine i normally use at least 2 wipe. and then powder. for motion, as many as it takes till clean and then powder. just becareful when open diaper dont kena tembak. especially for boy. LOL. powder, i recommend corn starch, they say healthier in case baby breathes it in, been using pureen one. i thnk RM9 for big bottle. and nappy rash i use sudocrem. good stuff.

Thanks for the advice bro. Another matter, can anyone offer me your opinion about teats for baby?

Currently we are breast feeding + formula milk, of which the latter is given via cup instead. We were discouraged to use teats as it may confuse the baby during suckling later on. It is getting tougher to feed via cup nowadays.

we also did formula + breast feeding. the baby wasnt confused at all. but i wont say 100% wont be confused. but for my son, he wasnt. at one point my son stayed with me for 1 month fully on formula/frozen breastmilk. then after that when mom came back went back to BF.

you will end up using bottles later probably. So if you are going that route, get a good glass bottle (been using ours for 4 years di) its good investment especially since you are pouring hot/boiling water into it. the teats also got grading for their age to control flow.

yeah, my daughter got no problem too in mixing both method. Although many parents and advises found online say otherwise. Really depends on individual.

Hi All

my wife is now 6+ months pregnant..this is our first time. may i know if there is available class for us to attend for first timer as parent especially like breast feeding, how to deliver..hope you guys can share to me

thanks again

i think all hospitals have a free class for this. give them a call.

some hospitals indeed do for free... if you do not mind, I wish to ask you to do a bit of research of hypnobirthing too. I am not sure how many parents out there benefits from this, but at least my wife does.
