About us

Fussy Mama is a Singapore parenting site for the moment you have a small child, a question and about four minutes.

We write guides and build calculators for the things Singapore parents actually look up. Where to take a toddler when it rains on a Saturday. How much the Baby Bonus puts into the CDA. What infant care costs once the subsidy comes off. There are 306 guides and 35 free calculators on the site, and every guide lists the sources it used.

What we're for

We're for doing the maths before you sign anything. The calculators use Singapore's own rules for the Baby Bonus, CDA matching, childcare subsidies, parent tax relief and the Medisave grants.

We're for plain answers. If a question belongs with your doctor, the guide says so.

We're for weekends out. A lot of what we write is where to play, eat and stay with kids in tow.

We're for showing our working. Each guide ends with the pages we took our facts from, so you can check them yourself.
