Antenatal Class 5

Week 30

Today's lesson touches on the breastfeeding and bottlefeeding. Very useful breastfeeding tips from KK Hospital.

Tummy has expanded by 1.5 inch in a week! I've been feeling Braxton Hicks these few days. The whole abdomen will harden for less than 30 seconds. I'm a bit worried so keep telling ah boy to be patient and put on more fats, daddy and mummy will only want to see him in 8 to 10 weeks time.

The cot

Thank you, Anson_papa&mama for passing me your baby's cot and bumpers. Look what else I've attached to the crib. What did you do to your baby nursery room?

Week 28

Antenatal Class 4

Week 27

Today's topic is practical hands-on baby care. We are taught how to carry our baby, bathe him, change him, soothe him, interact with him. I love best the session where you play games with him to create a bond. Remember to take more action pictures that we can talk about when baby grows up. We are also taught some interesting rhymes. Here's one (in Hokkien/Teo Chew dialect):

This little Piggy Rhyme and more

A good old favourite which can be great fun if played when drying a small child after it's bath. As you are saying it, you "tweak" each toe in turn, starting with the largest:

Biggest toe: This little piggy went to market.

Next toe: This little piggy stayed at home.

Next toe: This little piggy had roast beef.

Next toe: This little piggy had none.

Small toe: And this little piggy cried "wheee wheeee wheee" all the way home.

Whilst saying "wheee, whee, whee all the way home" you run your fingers up their chest and tickle them under the chin.
