I am expecting my boy in March. I have had some differences with my Thai friends and husband, even during pregnancy. But I have also had some really good advise from them too. Like when I was craving soda all the time, I was having like 2 cans of root beer a day, but a Thai friend suggested to switch to sweetened fruit juices ( i was drinking fresh juices ) and it worked. Now that's all I crave. Try to read up more about babies online like http://kidshealth.or...ch01.jsp#cat145, or http://www.babycente...he-them_9790.bc I got my hubby to do this too, so for the most part now we agree on more things. We are using google chrome, comes with built in translator which helps alot. #78

Like yourself, first time round and learning as we go! Not much pre or post natal carers around, but lots of friends with advice!! The best bit of advice I had was from a friend of my Mother in Uk. She said, do what you feel is right for you and your baby. So far seems good advice. Problem seems to come when you do everything you think is right and the poor baby is still crying/ screaming!! We are in phuket and had our baby at the Phuket International Hospital. had a great all round experience!!! #79

Ashmantor I do so agree with you! I have a 6 month old now and I wished that someone wouldve given me that advice before, follow your first instincts listen to yourself and do what feels right!
As a first time parent you are unsure about everything....wanting to do the right thing by the book.... #80

Thought id share a tip I think my wife uses to pretty good affect.
Instead of waiting for our baby to dirty her nappy my wife will take off her nappy and hum at her off and on for about 10 minutes until she poo's. Sounds strange I know but with the 2 girls we have I have to admit I havnt seen a dirty nappy yet. Our first girl is now 3 and the 2nd about 4 months. Not sure if the baby knows that its now poo time or not but youd be surprised how many times when she starts this off and on humming that it works. Good luck. |
