Singaporean actress, Joanne Peh is our cover star for the latest issue of Parents World. Here, exclusively online, is the full interview\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\nAward winning actress and local gal, Joanne Peh has been in the public eye for the last 13 years. Now she is a new mum, we couldn’t wait to speak to her for our latest cover story in the January\/February 2016 issue (out now!). Here is the interview – check out our full photo shoot in the latest issue!
\nPW: <\/strong>How old is your child?
\nJoanne (J):<\/strong> About three and a half months
\nPW: <\/strong>How did you take the news?
\nJ:<\/strong> Ha! I guess we were both really excited and I think disbelief would be the word. I don\u2019t know, it almost feels unreal at that point.
\nPW: <\/strong>Have you named the baby?
\nJ:<\/strong> What do you mean? Of course lah! We don\u2019t plan to announce lah.\u00a0(When talking about the name being leaked to the press)\u00a0<\/em>We hope that it wouldn\u2019t. I\u2019m very, I\u2019m kinda very particular about privacy for minors especially.
\nJ:<\/strong> I get very frightened when people know too much about kids. More because they can\u2019t protect themselves yet. And you know, sometimes you hear all these horror stories about China, with kids being kidnapped and all that.
\nJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Not celebrities\u2014just normal kids, they\u2019re being kidnapped. Like you know there are strangers who know your kid\u2019s name and your name and where they live and all these details. They just say oh hi you know, whatever name, and then you know, kids being kids.
\nJ:<\/strong> That\u2019s the reason why I\u2019m very protective about my kid\u2019s identity. How she looks and also her name and things like that. I try not to reveal too much because I feel very uneasy. I mean when they\u2019re older and they can protect themselves and it\u2019s up to them whether they want to be in the public eye. But otherwise, I mean since we don\u2019t have paparazzi here, I\u2019d rather keep it quiet.
\nPW: <\/strong>How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy?
\nJ:<\/strong> Not really. I think it was 10 over kg. Yah.
\nJ:<\/strong> The last thing on my mind was putting on weight or losing weight. Even during my confinement I wasn\u2019t too anxious about losing weight because I think I was breastfeeding and I think I\u2019ve heard a lot of people tell me that you be, you need to have enough nutrition, don\u2019t be too concerned about losing weight because your baby needs nutrients. And also because you\u2019re recovering from childbirth, you need a lot of bu<\/em>. So that was the last thing on my mind, you know, really\u2026
\nJ:<\/strong> In a way I guess I didn\u2019t have major major cravings. I didn\u2019t um, eat extra. In a way. I didn\u2019t eat extra\u2026or indulge… And plus I exercise. I work out. I mean I\u2019ve always led a very active lifestyle before\u2026 I was like doing pilates, yoga, swimming.
\nJ:<\/strong>\u00a0You know I\u2019m very worried right, that fellow mothers would think that you know, think bad about themselves if they cannot go back to the weight. Their whole mind is focused on I want to lose weight and all that.
\nJ:<\/strong> I get worried because actually it\u2019s more important to be strong rather than to be slim. You know what I mean? Because I realised that now with my baby and all that, I need to have a lot of energy to look after her, to carry her. And even though I may have returned to my pre-pregnancy weight. I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m strong enough, I feel I\u2019m stronger before, like my core and everything else. I\u2019m more concerned with gaining strength, so you also feel better and you don\u2019t feel so tired when you\u2019re looking after your baby.
\nJ:<\/strong> So that\u2019s why the message I really hope to drive across is how you can be stronger rather than how you can be skinny. If you think about \u2018I want to be skinny,\u2019 then maybe you start to be on a (crash)<\/em> diet,\u00a0which is not healthy! It\u2019s not healthy!
\nJ:<\/strong> So you know, it needs time. It took me some time as well. I was also still bloated after giving birth. I mean I had to go back to shoot the variety show and I also feel bloated, and you know also when you are breastfeeding, you also feel quite vulgar you know, because your boobs are engorged and all that.
\nJ:<\/strong> So it takes time for some of us to get back to our previous size or weight. I think really, don\u2019t be too anxious about that, it\u2019s really about how you can be stronger. And I think maybe if you set your mind on how you can be stronger, the weight loss kinda naturally just comes.\u00a0And if you look after your own baby, actually you do also.
\nJ:<\/strong> So that\u2019s why rest and actually eating well is very important during that period of time you know, for mothers. Don\u2019t worry lah! I say, don\u2019t worry about the whole, you know, size and all that.
\nPW: <\/strong>What has changed post birth?
\nJ:<\/strong> Well, we have a lot less time to ourselves. And you end up packing a lot more things when you go out.\u00a0And you have to be very like organised. Your mind must compartmentalise, like, the things you have to do and the things you have to prepare for? Parenthood has helped me be more organised.
\nPW: <\/strong>Who changes the baby?
\nJ:<\/strong> Well, it\u2019s not a competition so\u2026but I do it more? Shuneng shengqiao. <\/em>Cuz when you do it more often, naturally, you\u2019re a little bit more used to it.
\n(talks about her confinement)
\nJ:<\/strong>\u00a0My confinement was only for a month. And we were actually pretty hands on during the one month. We were also very hands-on like, in choosing to look after the baby ourselves because we didn\u2019t want to be lost when Aunty leaves. That can happen and we wanted to learn as much as we can from Aunty before she leaves. So we were very hands-on during that period of time, and food-wise, I think because my husband is a very good cook so he actually advised Aunty how to cook.
\nJ:<\/strong> I think that kouwei<\/em> for locals is very Singaporean\/Malaysian, that\u2019s why some of the food is very heavy-handed. The cooking is heavy-handed. But my husband is Cantonese, so Cantonese cuisine is lighter. The taste is a bit cleaner. My husband sort of tweaked the recipes a little bit and I had plenty of soup. I didn\u2019t used to like to drink soup. Because I never grew up with soup right, unlike the Cantonese. But after confinement now, I can\u2019t do without soup, you know, I feel very thirsty. Like\u2026 It\u2019s not just that. Even during confinement, I was like oh my goodness it\u2019s so hot, you ask me to drink soup, it\u2019s so hot\u2026 But after that, now I really like soup. Even though it\u2019s a hot day, I would like, want to drink soup. So that has changed.
\nPW: <\/strong>How long are you planning on breastfeeding your child?
\nJ:<\/strong> As long as I can I think. Ideally everyone says six months, that\u2019s the WHO guideline. At least six months. If not, up to a year probably? The reason being\u2026 In our line of work it\u2019s quite hard to keep up with breastfeeding. Sometimes if you\u2019re out, and you\u2019re filming and you\u2019re outdoors, finding a place to pump\u2026and then you need to actually sanitise which can be very troublesome\u2026and keeping the milk cold, especially outdoors, is tough. There\u2019s no place to wash, there\u2019s no place to sanitise.
\nJ:<\/strong> I think Singapore can really, probably soon enough lah, slowly, kind of move towards like, Japan. I\u00a0just came back from Japan, with the family, and you see the nursing rooms they are very well-equipped. Very, very well-equipped. I wish we could have microwaves in our nursing rooms. But they (Japan) do, which is good for sterilising your breast pump parts. You use microwave bags and you just kind of sterilise. But now if you\u2019re outdoors and you\u2019re pumping for the whole day, there\u2019s no way you can sterilise.\u00a0In a way it can be quite inconvenient for mothers who don\u2019t work in the office.
\nJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Ideally, I think six months if possible. If I can\u2026 It\u2019s convenient isn\u2019t it? You don\u2019t have to pack milk powder\u00a0and it saves costs also.
\nJ:<\/strong> But then it also means that it\u2019s very difficult for say, like, my husband to bring my daughter out on his own, because he has to bring the cooler bag and then the warmer you know.
\nPW: <\/strong>How does your child amaze you?
\nJ:<\/strong> Well. Babbling and laughing, I think, and chuckling. Chuckling. I guess now she\u2019s able to go on her tummy. She didn\u2019t use to like it but now she\u2019s on her tummy, she\u2019ll just like start babbling and laughing\u2026 She lifts her head and she\u2019s like WARGH~! Like she\u2019s having a conversation with you. That part is really nice to see.
\nJ:<\/strong> She\u2019s learning how to flip right, but not quite there yet. So every time she flips her legs, I\u2019d just kind of help her along and then her hand always gets stuck right so cannot come out\u2026 And it just amazes me how things that are so natural to us now, they are still you know, still learning how to\u2026 how to take your hand out from under your belly? And we\u2019re like cheering her on, you know?
\nJ:<\/strong> Something as simple as like \u2018Are you going to get your arm out from under the belly so you can like do this, and then hold your head up?\u2019 It\u2019s a struggle! And, and then you see her struggling, and when she finally does it, you\u2019re like AHHH!! *claps* Which is like\u2026my goodness, these so simple things\u2026 I guess having a baby, it has really made us learn how to appreciate the simple things in life. The simplest things now catches us by wonder you know?
\nPW: <\/strong>What attributes would you like your child to possess?
\nJ:<\/strong> I guess, endless creativity? Which is something that all kids are blessed with, but slowly as you get older, you kind of lose it because of social norms and all that\u2026 So\u2026 I hope she stays creative and just forever out of box?
\nJ:<\/strong> I know right\u2026 Let\u2019s try\u2026
\n(Talking about returning to work after the birth of her child)<\/em>
\nJ:<\/strong>\u00a0I was lucky because I was doing a variety show, which is pregnancy and parenthood related. The team understands very much that I need to have a place to pump and all that, and also because the places that we go to, the nature of the programme being so, it\u2019s very friendly to mums and \u2018mum-to-be\u2019s. So it\u2019s very comfortable now.
\nJ:<\/strong> What\u2019s going to happen next, actually I have no idea. There are dramas coming up, but I, I can\u2019t, I sort of have to reconsider because of my daughter. So\u2026 yah\u2026 I don\u2019t know how its going to be you know honestly.
\nJ:<\/strong> I mean, but I\u2019m still going to be the main carer even if we get help. Even if you get a nanny, I still want to be.\u00a0A lot of things I think, I\u2019m very hands-on, I think we both are very hands-on parents so in a way, we want to be there for our kid you know, we want to be responsible for her growth rather than give that responsibility to someone else. So yah that\u2019s why I guess you just have to give up some things.
\nPW: Are you planning to have another kid?<\/strong>
\nJ:<\/strong> Well, I think it\u2019s always good to have more. In fact, being the only child, I encourage it as well. I don\u2019t want my daughter to think the whole world revolves around her? At which point, we\u2019d let nature take its course? But should have more than one
\nPW: Why?<\/strong>
\nJ:<\/strong> Because otherwise first of all I think it\u2019s stressful for the kid next time, when he or she gets older, the responsibility of looking after the parents falls on just one person? So it\u2019s hard on him or her as well. And when you have another sibling, someone for you to discuss things with, I think it\u2019s also more comfortable.
\nJ:<\/strong> And then the other thing is of course, you know when you have one kid, sometimes like you know in China, one-child policy, they just focus on their energy on that one kid, and they can turn out to be quite self-centred.
\nJ:<\/strong> And I don\u2019t want that for my daughter, I want her to understand that there\u2019s a bigger world out there and it\u2019s not just about you all the time, and you need to learn how to share and giving in and sharing and all these kind of values, I think it helps when they have a sibling, so that\u2019s why I think it\u2019s important to have at least two kids and they can look out for one another. Being the only child I\u2019ve heard, I mean, can be very stressful when they look after their parents, when they get older.
\nJ:<\/strong> Yah, really! Are you the only child yourself? (to interviewer) You have someone to discuss and you don\u2019t feel so alone. In a way and then, you know, there\u2019s some kind of help that I think that you can get when you get older.
\nJ:<\/strong> I know it\u2019s tough, especially some parents I\u2019ve spoken to doing this variety show, that looking after lil ones ah, my goodness, it\u2019s a big headache you know, especially when it\u2019s like one or two, that age you know, when they\u2019re running, you just have to look out for them and they\u2019re so active and you\u2019re like so tired keeping up with them and you think like, \u2018I\u2019ve to go through that all over again with another one??\u2019
\nJ:<\/strong> But it actually gets easier with another one, that\u2019s what I hear some tell me. And then when you start to train your kid to look out for the younger one, sometimes it helps to relieve some of your own duties as well? It probably isn\u2019t as daunting as some parents think.
