On diaper bags
I am using a large bag which I got from Qoo previously at $9.90. I just arrange all stuff within a bag organizer and I am good to go. It can be carried 3 ways - 1. double handle (like pic), 2. single long handle by extending one of the handles all the way (I do that when I am on the go but still need to search for items while hanging the other strap over shoulder) or handbag by shortening the handle with a knot so as to slip it through your wrist.
Just to give you a feel of the space within - It is huge enough to accommodate extra diapers, diaper creamclothes, wet tissue, breast pump, portable food warmer, multiple bottles, cooler bag with breast milk, nursing cover. You can throw all these in and the bag still look fabulous on the exterior but heavy like Siao. Very versatile piece made of suede material which will still make u very fashionable. Omg I am Jin Ai Swee.

For short trips, I will just lift up the bag organizer with essentials (diapers, diaper cream, extra clothes, wet tissue, maybe one bottle of expressed breast milk) And place it into the smaller bag that I want to use. I also got a cheap bag organizer from Qoo under $5. Haha! Qoo shopping queen.
On multi-vitamins
I have been taking all the leftovers from pregnancy (I.e Obimin, Sagobion iron tablets, caltrate calcium tablet). Checked with Gynae previously during the post-natal check up. She said all those prescribed drugs are safe for breastfeeding mum. Don't waste. I may continue to buy calcium supplements as I am fully breastfeeding. scared that my little one suck finish my calcium reserves And I kena osteroperosis when I am older.
On walking and exercise
I do an average of 5000-7000 steps a day during pregnancy and even until the day before I delivered! I thought it will help in my labour process but I didn't get any contractions until week 40. And my labour was a good 12 hours lor!
I pretty much got back to my pre-pregnancy shape by sweating out doing household chores. Some of which are pretty much strenuous - like wash curtains, bedsheets and steam the carpeted floor in the room. You just have endless tasks to complete. Everyday is just a battle against time.
The above rigorous exercise Plus breastfeeding makes me swallow two bowls of rice each meal. I can just eat in buffet style without worrying about that extra calorie gain. gives me motivation to breastfeed for as long as I can! Haha
