We are going to Bali TOMORROW!
“We” as in me, Dan and baby Coco.
Yes, it will be Coco’s first flight at six – going on seven – months. I’m definitely looking forward to it, in a delirious mix of anticipation, apprehension, work stress, packing stress and lack of sleep.
Under the pretext of being hardworking and putting »

During my pregnancy, I attended numerous baby fairs, parenting talks and pre-natal classes and in one of the goodie bags that I came home with, I found a booklet from the Singapore Sports Council, detailing how to lose weight after giving birth.
The booklet featured various exercises that a new mum could do while carrying her »

I can hardly believe it:
WE HAVE BEEN PARENTS FOR HALF A YEAR!
Coco turned six months old on 22 February. We took a quick walk down memory lane (or rather, a quick scroll through iPhoto) to recap how our little family of three has been doing for the past six months.
At the Beginning
Coco entered our world. And »

I recently read an article in Sunday Lifestyle! where the journalist lamented about children driving a wedge between friends i.e. when one party becomes a parent, it is inevitable that lifestyle changes dictate that the dynamics of the relationship also change.
That article held true for me during the early part of our journey to parenthood. »

Last week, I wrote about my experience returning to the office as a working mum.
Two lovely readers left comments on the post. Both shared that they felt guilty about spending time away from their babies and in particular, missing their babies’ “firsts”. I have more thoughts to share on that topic but first, I thought »

I returned to fulltime work on 1 December last year. Today marks the completion of my first two months as a working mum.
Since I know of a few mothers-to-be who would be planning how to utilise their maternity leave entitlement, thought I’d share how my maternity leave plan has worked for me so far.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner.
So…. who’s looking forward to the big red Gong Xi Fa Cai event?
I’m feeling surprisingly blase about it this year. The house is all kitted out with red and gold decorations, fresh spring blossoms – and enough red lanterns to rival the red light district, but I’m »

What a year it has been.
For one, I can scarce believe that I have been blogging on MaybeBaby for the second year straight, faithfully putting in close to 50 entries this year. How on earth did I find so much to say?! I had to revisit my past entries to recall what exactly I have »

Earlier this month, I did something really bad to my kid.
I fed her honey.
Honey. Sweet honey. Nectar of the Gods. A wholesome substitute for sugar. Chock-full of vitamins and minerals. Anti-inflammatory properties. A natural antiseptic. An effective healer.
Little did I know that know that feeding an infant that sweet treat could have fatal consequences.
