Fourth trimester support
Postpartum support that does not watch the clock.
The fourth trimester does not operate during office hours, so neither do we. Pocket Nanny is Singapore’s 24/7 AI parenting companion, built on Baby Planner SG’s years of supporting new mums through pregnancy, recovery and the chaotic, beautiful first months.
My baby will only sleep on me. Is that normal?
Very normal in the early weeks. Newborns are wired for contact. Let us look at safe settling options and how to get a short crib transfer without spiralling.
I think I am doing everything wrong.
You are in the hardest stretch, not failing. We can take this one question at a time.
We see you
The fourth trimester is hard.
The textbooks talk about pregnancy. They sometimes mention birth. But the first three months after baby arrives, what doctors call the fourth trimester, is the part nobody really prepares you for. It is the hardest, most disorienting and most beautiful season of new parenthood. You do not have to do it alone.
It is 3am and you are Googling “is this normal” again.
Your confinement nanny just left and you do not know what to do next.
Breastfeeding hurts and you wonder whether something is wrong with you.
Your baby will not sleep anywhere but on you.
You cannot tell whether you are doing this right.
All of these have an answer, and it does not have to wait until tomorrow.

Example chat
A real conversation, similar to what you would have.
My 3-week-old has been feeding every hour for two days. Is she even getting milk? I am losing my mind.
That sounds exhausting, and what you are describing is almost certainly a cluster-feeding pattern, common around 3 weeks during a growth spurt. It feels relentless, but it is how she builds your supply. Three quick checks: are you seeing 6 or more heavy wet nappies in 24 hours, was weight gain on track at the last check-in, and does she settle even briefly after feeds? If yes, she is getting milk. It usually eases within 48 to 72 hours. Want practical tips for getting through tonight?

FAQ
Postpartum questions, answered clearly.
Is Pocket Nanny suitable from pregnancy?
Yes. Many families start with Pocket Nanny in the third trimester to prepare for birth and the first weeks. The 10-pack with 6-month validity is a popular option for covering pregnancy through the first months postpartum.
Can Pocket Nanny help with breastfeeding?
For the practical, informational side of breastfeeding, yes. For supply concerns, latch issues that need a visual assessment, or persistent pain, you will be better served by an in-person lactation consultant. Pocket Nanny will tell you clearly when it is time to escalate.
What about postpartum depression?
Pocket Nanny is not a substitute for mental health care. If you are struggling, please speak to your GP, your obstetrician, or KK Hospital’s Women’s Mental Wellness Service.
Do I need a confinement nanny if I have Pocket Nanny?
They serve different needs. A confinement nanny does the physical work, including cooking, baby care and giving you a chance to sleep. Pocket Nanny answers the questions that come up during and after. Many families use both.
Is Pocket Nanny suitable for second-time mums?
Absolutely. Many second-time mums find it useful precisely because the questions are different, including sibling adjustment, managing two children and what is normal at this age.
