Importance of Postpartum Care
In Asia, postpartum care is considered to be a very importance stage of a woman’s life and this belief and practice is passed down through many generations. In western countries, it is becoming more popular as the women weigh the vast health benefits more than anything else.
Experts refer Postpartum period as the first six weeks after childbirth. In real context , postpartum period can stretch up to 4-6 months with the mother herself coping and adapting physically and emotionally after childbirth.
Postpartum care can be categorised to different categories such as external , internal and mental care. For a new mother, she has to make sure she takes good care of herself in these three aspects during the postpartum period.
External care refers to the physical body such as dealing with the change in body shape, coping with breastfeeding problems like engorgement or sore nipples, caesarean incision or even hair loss issues.
Internal care refer to things like physical fatigue, body aches, afterbirth cramps, perineal pain or constipation problems.
Mental care refer to emotions such as anxiety, impatient, confidence level or low self esteem due to hormonal changes that trigger us to be more sensitive during postpartum period

My Baby Cries When She Sees My Face
Question on Child Behavior Problems : My daughter has being this way since she was maybe 3 months or so. She tends to cry whenever she sees me. When i carry her she is okay, when my mum takes care of her, she is okay until she sees my face. When i come home after work she follows me wherever i go. I’m abit worried. Otherwise she is friendly towards everyone and anyone. Please advise. Thank you.
Answer : At the age of 3 months, its not easy for a child to express how much she or he misses their parents. The only way they can do it is by throwing tantrums or crying, their only mode of expressions.
Please remember that she recognises you as her mum and a very familiar figure and that is why she is all over you the moment you are with her. You are in the safe side as long as while you are not around, she still mingles with others and she is still friendly.
There has been cases where the child will refuse to go to anyone except their mums, and this will make the mum stressful because they can’t even leave the child with any baby sitter not even the grandparents. So your gal is ok. Do not fret!
At the end of the day, enjoy the time she is clinging on to you. Because when she starts getting independent one day and does not come to as often as she does now, you will start to miss her. I miss mine!

Review of GOON Baby Diapers
I am a father of a 7 weeks old big size baby who weighs 5.3kg now and very much involved in taking care of him. A friend of mine from Today’s Motherhood Singapore introduced a bag of Goo.N diapers for sampling. After trying it out on my baby, I have written my reviews on this baby diapers in this article.
- Firstly, the baby diaper has included an indicator on the outer surface of the diaper to help the parents to gauge how much the baby has urinated and when to change the diaper.
- Secondly, the “S” size of the Goo.N diaper is larger than the same size of most of the other brands which not too tight for my big size baby while wearing it.


- Thirdly, its great ability to prevent leakage of large poo and urine help the parents to avoid messy clean up when changing the diaper.
- Next, the material of the adjustable grip tape is durable and yet soft enough not to scratch my baby’s thigh.
- Last but not least, the diaper does not have a smell of the diaper’s material which other brands have.
After the sampling of the Goo.N diapers brand’s “S” size online diapers on my baby, my view is that it is a good product in general.
Libella Bedwear
BEDTIME WITH LIBELLA
Libella was created when it was found that there was a lack of fine quality pyjamas for children.
We started sourcing for the best materials we could find and designing our own line of sleepwear. Along the way, the idea of establishing a bedtime culture for children came along and this has now grown into the concept behind Libella. Many working parents today have limited time to spend with their children; As such, time dedicated each night to getting the children ready for bed becomes a precious moment that can be shared regularly.
A daily ritual of getting ready for bed through the inculcated habit of slipping into pyjamas, coupled with the sharing of bedtime stories, allows for quality time to be spent between parent and child. Realising the necessity for children to grow up with familiar routines established in their daily lives to create a sense of security and well being, we advocate this as a daily bedtime routine.


Like any parent wishing only the best for their children, we seek to produce the finest quality pyjamas. Cotton used for Libella is sourced from premium cotton producers and sewn with utmost care and attention to the finest detail. The design for the pyjamas have been tried and tested by children to ensure their practicality and durability.
In addition, Libella’s bedtimes stories form an integral part of the ritual. Because of their important role, a series of stories involving our trademark dragonfly, Arkie, and others have been weaved and collected in our Libella Storybook. Libella’s bedtime stories are shared via our website and can be easily downloaded.
Our products are available online as we understand that being a parent leaves little time for shopping. With the advent of the internet, shopping online has never been easier or more convenient for a parent with limited browsing time.
We have also produced an adult line of sleepwear to complement the existing children’s collection. We believe that if parents and children wear similar sleepwear, it would enhance family unity. This would make the bedtime ritual a more wholesome experience for the family.
It’s not just about sleep…it’s about beautiful dreams!
