Beemummy - I also used brestfriend. Helps support arm and bb when latching sitting up. I always fall asleep latching at note so safer with the pillow. Alternatively if u can latch lying down den dun really have to buy the nursing pillow cos once I learnt to do tat my nursing pillow went to storage. Heh.

xia: haha! ya maybe we have seen each other before! Today is my EDD, last night had Braxton Hicks but I managed to sleep through too. Cannot induce cos I am trying VBAC and everything has to be natural to be safe.
My gynae say 2nd time babies may not engage, usually during labour then engage.
Jen: Haha! I guess listen to what your PD says! Funny hor, different PD say different thing. I have asked 2 different PDs who both told me below 6 months don't need to drink water. Cos not nutritious and they don't need water to supplement.

Xia, sorry, think i mix u up with orangeroses and opps! My no 1 was 3.4+ kg, waterbag burst before he engaged. Doc estimate no 2 to be about same. Me still coughing, worst at night, but will still go ahead. Very tough coughing with a huge tummy, back aches tummy aches. Taking birdnest now hopefully helps.
Mummies who have delivered at tmc, they provide most stuff right? So no need bring much things? The ready to drink fm they charge at $1.50 per bottle ( the someone mentioned before)?

Hi mummies, been a silent reader and my bb is also a feb bb! She's born on the 8th feb, came early at 37 weeks, 2.5 hour labor, no epi, natural delivery. my #2. =)
orangeroses: TMC doesn't give bathtub. No freebies i must say. As for going home clothes, they dress them up in the TMC shirt and diaper, wrapped up in swaddle provided my tmc.
Gg: The malay massage lady i am having now is not too bad too! Very comfortable after each massage. her rates are also reasonable. Helps to clear block ducts and after that oil massage, she might go beyond 1 hour too. Let me know if you'd like her contact.
annticipating: I used close to 5-8 diapers a day (including night time). Sometimes maybe more, cos' whenever I have just changed her, she pooed again. They tend to poo a lot, first its the dark tarry stool for the first 3 days, which can be quite a lot.

mummyzeal: You can ask your CL to open the door. Anyway she's supposed to do what you wish. My bb now sleeps on her side, and she actually sleeps better. So far, for her she doesn't flip so that's okay. Have to check on her and anyway she wakes every 2-3 hours. My no.1 slept on his back all the while at nb stage, swaddled. He tend to wake up more easily. It depends.. I think your CL is just trying to base on her own experience. But if you are concern, ask her to open the door so that you can also keep a look out.

lynn, what a coincidence! congrats on no.2!! mine was at night, 2145 hours. =)
Hi mummies,
For those who are still considering what kind of insurance to get for your newborn, i believe the first one should be the hospitalisation plan. As a mother of three, there is this plan called myshield, underwritten by Aviva, which provide free hospitalisation plan for your child if both you and your spouse are covered under this plan.
Premiums are deducted from medisave and i thought it's quite beneficial for all parents since it will be given free for your child (up to a max of 4 children).
For more information, please do PM me. I would also like to be upfront here. Yes, I am an insurance agent but as a mother of three, this plan can really help u save a fair bit over the long run.
If any mummies are considering getting a whole life plan(with cash value) for your darlings, with just a mere $2 a day, we can provide a $150K coverage for your child. This is one of the cheapest in the market too. Do PM me if you want more information.

I delivered at TMC. I didn't bring anything for my baby. The going home clothes including a TMC top, a pair of mitten, diaper and wrapped with a blanket. They give a diaper bag for you to pack your baby's stuff and they give a pureen diaper rash cream. No bath tub was given.
I must say TMC's service sucks as my baby came home with diaper rash! The only reason I select TMC is they have good doctors.

Hi zeal, my CL sleeps with door open. Issit ur CL sleep with aircon so close door? U mean bb head is upright or face side? Face side is better, prevent suffocation due to tongue choking. My bb head is always side and she changes side by herself. CL also puts bb to sleep on her or on her mattress sometimes. Bb may feel more secure with someone beside. But not good to do too frequently

Chewie, thanks.. At least now I know asking her to sleep with door ajar is reasonable. I tot sleeping with door open is also reasonable but she says all her clients let her sleep with closed door. I mean, I barely know her... How can I let her sleep closed door with my few days old baby ... Nobody knows what she does inside right. Of course I don't want to sound offensive.. So I just say i want to see baby as and when ...
Chewie, no she sleep with fan. And the fan blows at the baby as well.... My mum was complaining fan no gd for baby. CL was saying she not used to aircon. Then my baby whole day looking red and sweaty. Sometimes I think I rather not have a CL. Sigh,
Do ur babies sleep with fan, aircon?
GG, CL and baby same room but baby in cot and CL on bed, they not sleeping together. But she will tilt the baby to one side... If baby tilts over then potentially cannot breathe lor.. So I am worried

Beverly, my bb also came home with bad nappy rash!! 3 days after she was bk, the nappy rash went away after we cleaned her bottom with water every diaper change & apply nappy cream diligently. I delivered in TMC too.
Mummy, just tell her directly. U r the employer. If she says other employers let her sleep with door open, then u remind her now she is working for u, so she shld follow wat u wan. Also, fan cannot blow at bb. Is bad for bb n she may fall sick!
My bb is with me in my room during day times. Yes, I on aircon coz now confinement I cannot take fan. If not, body sil ache. I din close the door completely either when I on the aircon & I m outside my room doing something. If not, bb wakes up & cry I wun be able to hear.. So on aircon also doesn't mean must close the door completely.

Hi mummies, any advices on when i can do massage after my c-section? Doctor say my outer wound had healed, but what i am worried about is the inner wound. Sometimes i feel pain in my tummy and not the wound itself. Is it normal?
Baby has been drinking a lot of milk even though he is only 16 days old. He drank like 60ml - 100ml each feed. Is it normal? Is it a must to burp him when i latch him on? Cos the nurses at gleneagles say no need. But i getting mixed advise. Will i pull out bb's hair when i carry him, or break his hands? Cos i not very good at carrying him still.I getting more and more paranoid, that i scared i become depressed.

Hi Hazel, is it ok to on the aircon? I trying so hard to endure singapore's hot weather with no air-con and fan blowing up the ceiling.
Mummy, my no 1 sleeps in aircon from day 1. Hospital also aircon ma. But day time will use fan to circulate air but not blow directly. Too hot bb will get heat rash lor!
Beverly, alamak, tmc so jia lat now?? So fast kena diaper rash??
Mummy, get your hubby tell the CL? For me last time my CL also dun close door fully, even though aircon. And no, my CL dun put bb sleep side at night. Only sleep on back. Daytime will then let bb sleep on tummy at times. Some CL say must change position so bb won't get flat head. I find it's easier to get hubby be the bad guy lor. During confinement, we just focus on resting and bf. Dats wat I did for no 1.

Shan, aircon air n fan air are different. Fan air makes the body aches. Aircon is fine coz air is not blowing at us. Switch off yr aircon before you shower though..
For bb sleeping in aircon, hv to set temp at abt 25 degrees. Shld not go below 22 degrees unless u r prepared to let bb wear winter clothings to keep their warmth.
My bb kicks alot. So she can kick open the swaddle blanket. What I do is, I place her on the side of my bed n cover her with one corner of my quilt. But since she kicks alot, I hv to constantly check she dun kick until the quilt covers her face. That is why I also dun close my door completely if I m outside the room doing something.. Just waste abit of money on electricity bill.

Mummy: My CL sleeps with the door open when I had #1 - not in air con room, she uses fan to circulate air too but not blow directly at newborn. Anyway Newborn has a swaddle so I don't think the fan can blow directly.
Yes she lets my #1 sleep on the sides too - she will change sides after every time he wakes up for milk. This is to prevent their heads from going "flat". As they are not capable of flipping yet, it is not an issue. My #1 got round head now - quite nice! hee hee.
