I am a soon to be SAHM staying in Tanjong Rhu area. My DD will be due in Jan 08, 6-8 more weeks to labour. Wondering if any MTBs also with babies going to be born in the year of 2008 staying in the East interested to make friends?

HI there, I'll be moving to the East (Bedok) this year also, my EDD is in May... Hope to know more mummies here...

Tinyfeet, you are from the June thread?
 
hi kelcqi, i'm due early june.

i joined the June thread, but haven't really been "visiting" forum as often as the rest. Work has been really busy
 
Could any of u refer a gd infant care ctr or reliable babysitter in the east? Preferably kembangan or mebbe marine parade?

I found a nice lady in pasir ris, but very siong for me to travel from bedok to pasir ris &amp; then rush to work everyday.

Kelcqi - welcome to the wonderful east!! Once u breathe in the fresh air here, u don't ever wanna leave

Soo,

I always prefer East to West. Keke... Just that it's still foreign land to me. Need some time to adapt and get to know the place well.

How come I never see you online one?
 
kelcqi,
i hardly appear online during the day coz my office blocks out messenger tools

I try to catch up on the various threads, but that's only if there's "breathing" time in betw my zillions of meetings.

Hope this mad rush slows down soon
 
Hi Jade,

Welcome to this thread!

Soo,

Now I'm in office, not much chance to log in also. By the time come in, always late at nite liao.
 
hi Jade &amp; Kelcqi!

It's been some time since i logged in. Been so busy buying stuff at bb fair. I keep worrying that i haven't stocked up sufficient supplies for the 1mth confinement
 
Soo,

I also bot alot of things but not at Taka.

What is it that you worry not enough. Can ask hubby to buy?
 
problem is i dun know what i dun know...if u get what i mean. First kid la.

it's like everytime i think i'm done, someone else will ask if i'v got this thing or that thing, then i'll go uhhhhh....
 
Soo,

I also alot of things never get. I just use the checklist at Taka counter level 3 as a guide. But those small small stuff like cotton bud etc all haven buy. Even baby bath I also never buy. Later stage then worry lah, as long as those we think should have is there already can liao. Others if needed, later send hubby to run errands loh.
 
Kelcqi

Gd suggestion! I thought if i could get almost everythg settled, then will "assign" him the night shift while i get some shuteye :p

By the way, how do all you east side mommies settle your infant care? I still haven't found a solution to care of the child when i return to work. Quite a headache
 
Soo, I already intended and told my hubby before. Next time 9pm I'll go sleep, first feed after mid nite will be his job also. Since he always sleeps late.

Soo, I also need to find infant care to back up my plans. I really don't want my MIL to take care of my gal next time. I'm thinking of reasons and excuses to not let her take care. I cannot imagine my gal picking up all the bad manners from her.
 
DEAR ALL
I'm NEW to this thread

I'm a mother to a pair of non-identical twin boys. They're 16months old now. I stay in East Coast. So i'm not sure if i'm right for this thread since my boys aren't newborns but they still babies in my eyes

RE: Childcare.
Arranging for infant care was a nightmare for me when my boys first arrived bcos my MIL is getting on in age &amp; she was pretty busy helping my SIL with her 2 girls, aged 12 &amp; 4, so her hands were pretty full. Besides, my SIL told me a few times that my MIL doesn't know how to handle babies hence i was really scratching my head on infant-care arrangements....all these along with all the morning sickness &amp; Big Growing Belly...hahaha.

Likewise, my mum isn't exactly good with babies either. And the fact that I'm a first-time mummy with twins, it was a terrible time for me &amp; quitting my job wasn't a viable option for practical reasons.

What me &amp; hubby did was engaging confinement nannies for the 1st 3 months along with 2 maids. So u can imagine how hefty the cost was to us!!!
But we have no choice. 1 maid is not going to be able to cope with 2 crying babies, hence we need 2 maids ... the nannies were hired to show the maids the ropes ie how to feed/bathe the babies.

From 4th month onwards, we stopped hiring naniies &amp; my boys were left in the care of my 2 maids. I admit this is not the best solution but it was the best AVAILABLE option for me. So I can fully understand MTB or new mummies having a headache over infant-or-child care arrangements. But of cos, when i returned to work, we actually send the boys &amp; maids to my in-law's place for "supervision" or "cursory glance" just so that my maids won't "torture" my boys. But of cos my in-laws aren't at home all the time. So there'll be times where babies are alone with the maids. This is where I PRAY HARD that my maids won't do anything nasty to my kids. I guess we all know by now the infamous YouTube video of the Indonesian maid who torture a 2-month old baby. So naturally I'm worried too but what to do ...hence every morning we send boys &amp; maids to inlaws' place...everyday after work, pick them up &amp; bring them home. Life is tough but what to do.... That's Life

So to all MTBs &amp; new mummies who are facing somewhat similar predicament, my heart goes out to you. Hang In There... hahaha ... "Jia You".

RE: Infant care
I'm heading back to work next mth and it's still not decided if MIL will be caring for baby yet.. it seems she values her freedom quite aplenty, haha. I supposed I'll engage mom's help instead.
Nevertheless, I heard there's infant care centre offering babysitting services; 2 to 1 teacher (should be quite pro since the teachers are trained), but very costly... around $1k+/mth but subsidy offered for certain income group.
