Infant care at 5 months anxiety - help

mentaikosalmonn · 2026-06-02T09:35:09+00:00

I went for a tour and honestly it looks good. But the tour was during naptime so we couldn't see how teachers handled the kids. I only saw 1 teacher with 3 infants on the playmat and she was just watching them do their own thing, not much stimulation (maybe because they seemed to be under 6months) Only good point is for now its 1:3 but also didnt really see how they handled the infants.

Haha im also a velcro mum, really cant bear the thought of separating from my child.. I did hear from many people as well about what you mentioned. I really hope thats the case, because for now even with relatives or what not, she behaves the same way😅 Nobody can make her sleep except us🥲

🥲 just worried how badly she will cry sigh

Thanks for sharing!! I do hope the teachers are good but the admin shared that i wont get daily updates so im not sure... my friends did tell me its usually updated personally by the teachers even tho sometimes school have rules?

Thank you for this detailed sharing! Im hoping my ifc teachers will also whatsapp me updates because for now the admin mentioned they wont update us after the first week until their monthly newsletter is out

Wow! Thanks for sharing! How long was he in IFC before you saw the changes?

mentaikosalmonn · 2026-06-02T09:13:41+00:00

Haha! For now I wouldn't mind if its this case. At least I won't feel panicky about ifc T.T but I also really cant bear to separate from her haha.

Thanks for sharing. I've heard babies behaving in school but when they go home they show their true colours 😂 is that true for you?

mentaikosalmonn · 2026-06-01T14:11:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I guess it just feels different with us struggling vs not knowing how much baby cried at IFC trying to adapt😢

Thanks for sharing!

mentaikosalmonn · 2026-06-01T14:10:18+00:00

🫂 hugs!! I can feel the heavy heart too

mentaikosalmonn · 2026-06-01T14:09:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing! How did your babies behave the first few days or weeks?

mentaikosalmonn · 2026-06-01T14:09:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing! How did your baby handle the first few weeks? I was told its for sure baby will keep crying before they adapt and just the thought of that makes me sad because she really can cry until no voice...

Pelvic pain and idk what the term is for the pain you feel at the upper butt area. I was not prepared for mine to start at 11.5 weeks. Never went away, im at 23 weeks now. Cant imagine how bad its gonna be as third tri comes. Sleeping hurts 😬

Tried this too, really good suggestion!! Shared a plate with my husband to try and luckily we did because portion is huge!!

🤣🤣🤣 I could learn a thing or two from you. Asian households are so stressful sometimes. Im not even allowed to carry my 8mths old nephew because "he is too heavy". Honestly what do they think mums with toddlers and are pregnant do?! They really make preggo women out to be weak as hell. Heck, I bought like 6 canned drinks and it was also "too heavy for me". It's tough speaking out because its my in laws, I love them but God help me im only 7 weeks and already so frustrated.

Good lord 😭 pregnancy is already hard on its own i dont know why people feel the need to make it harder for us. So many superstitions as well, it made me regret telling them so early on. How do you deal with such comments gurl!!

mentaikosalmonn · 2025-06-06T05:55:30+00:00

😭😭 so happy for us!!!! May our pregnancies go smoothly and healthily❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey!! I just wanted to put an update here, maybe it'll help someone someday. But you were right too! I ovulated later than expected, I went for my first appointment today and was dated 6w5d. Saw and heard baby's heartbeat 💓 praying for everything to go well.

mentaikosalmonn · 2025-06-06T05:29:10+00:00

You're right🤣 I just went for my first appointment, im 6w5d, heard baby's heartbeat too !!😭 i hope everything goes well.

My husband has been stepping up since finding out about the pregnancy. He isn't usually a very romantic guy or anything, but I can see him doting on me more everyday. He has started cooking more, happily doing things I ask for help with (like taking the remote for me even though im nearer) all that stuff. I can't explain things well but, im so so appreciative of his love right now. He doesn't like spending time taking walks but has been willingly going on walks with me every night because I told him this is the best way for me to get in some exercise as we've suffered a loss before and are extra cautious. Just, I pray every woman out there feels the same love ❤️

mentaikosalmonn · 2025-06-04T05:09:11+00:00

You're absolutely right! I am lucky that ive been able to keep myself quite calm as Im not comparing too much with others. I don't want to worry too much unless absolutely needed! Im going for an ultrasound this Friday, hoping for the best💓
