Parenting brings a whole palette of new feelings and emotions into our lives, as well as many questions and challenges. And that’s totally normal! New roles, new duties, new activities, and new life you are responsible for – all this cannot but cause a lot of doubts, worries, and a feeling of insecurity. Sometimes you are absolutely happy and inspired by everything happening with you and your baby. But sometimes, it seems like you’re doing everything wrong – and there’s nobody and nothing to help you cope with all the concerns that came into your life with your little one. We’d like to emphasize once again that this is absolutely normal – and every parent needs support, advice, and just a place to spend a nice time in a welcoming environment. For this purpose, there is a great choice of Support Groups and Communities for Parents in Singapore – and the BusyKidd team has made a selection of the best ones among them.

Establishing a healthy sleep for your baby is quite a challenging task. That’s where the Sleeping Like A SGBaby group will come in handy.

This group is dedicated to parents who believe that each little one needs a sound sleep and aims to help everyone achieve it. Helpful information, healthy sleeping tips, insights on good sleeping habits and appropriate sleep schedules, and more – you can find all this in the Sleeping Like A SGBaby group that already has over 27,500 members as of today.
