Infant care is a big milestone for both your child and you. We show you some stepping stones to ease the transition, minus the tears and fears.
As a new mum, one of the greatest and foremost concerns is to ensure that your baby is born healthy and happy. Naturally, the first few months with your newborn would be all about meeting her needs and helping her transition from the safe, comforting confines of the womb into a world of incessant stimuli bustling with life. But when your baby is around four to six months old, every working parent will arrive at the crossroads of whether to return to their careers or allow spending time with your little one to take precedence.
With the cost of living showing no signs of dropping in Singapore, being able to swap office for nursery full-time is a privilege few working mums can afford. Caught between contributing to the family’s finances and not missing the most precious years of your baby’s life can be a tough decision, with the former usually the option of choice. Over the years, infant care has become more of a need and convenience modern parents cannot do without, especially if an extra pair of hands at home is unavailable.
