curtain
so sorry to hear about your in-law woes... i think i'm very lucky that my MIL and FIL are very easy going pple. My mom is the 'problematic' one. When she did my confinement for me, my hubby can't tahan her sometimes, haha. I clashed with my mom a few times during confinement, but i always win, haha. She kept saying that i will suffer when i'm old, then i replied her that if i do suffer when i'm old, i will hold myself responsible and not her
tonic
curtain, my mom bought this tonic called 'bu yao jing' for me. it's for strengthening the waist area. i think it's very good, also didn't affect my BFg routines. for a start, you can also just take essence of chicken every day to strengthen your body. my mom let me drink one every day.
diet
curtain, my mom also cooked alot of 'bai mu er' for me (together with fish or other vegetables). supposed to be help get rid of wind too. don't take veggies like cabbage cos got wind.
flat head
mrs ho, don't worry. my hubby and i are just being kiasu. i read in many bb books that bbs head will be flat cos when they are young, they tend to sleep in one particular position, when they grow older and sleep in other positions, the head will slowly round out.
where to put bb
twinkle starry, yah, i think abt this too. i only put him in the cot when we want him to sleep or when we change his clothes/diaper. when he's awake, it's usually exersaucer (but not more than 15mins cos he gets bored and cries for attn) or rocker (usually less than 5mins! cos he hates to be strapped down), most of the time, he wants to be carried! so my hubby and i will 'tag-team' lor...
