Year 2016 IVF Mummy To-Be
- Thread starter babydusty
- Start date
My younger boy has very bad skin. The brands that I like personally is mainly from Australia (all natural): Baby Gaia, Four Cow Farm, Moogoo. Generally baby doesn't need to use a lot of the soap/shampoo, lotion only when their skin is dry.

When the kid starts to smell!
Heh Heh..I think when the baby starts to poo alot and you know that water doesnt remove the stink from the butt.The nurses taught us to put 2 drops of Johnson & Johnson body wash (Can use desired brand) into the bathing water.

It depends on your preference. My 2 year boy is still sleeping in the cot.

Anyway, try to avoid J&J products cos I personally don't feel very comfy using them though some may say it's an old time brand. Just play safe and those with daughters, avoid putting talc powder onto their private parts. Will increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Maybe those with sons, avoid putting talc powder too.
I know the old folks like to put powder onto the butt cos it prevents nappy rash, keep the butt dry, blah blah blah.

I love mustela products. Love the smell. I also put 花露水in the bathing water for her when she was a baby, smells nice n I was told tat it helps to makes mosquitos stay away from her.now she is bigger no longer put in shower water but I put few drops on her hair when wash cos at this age she sweat badly daily so makes her hair smell nicer Lor..
We converted our cot to toddler bed, my boy turning 4 this year is still sleeping on it. Will probably move him to a bed later this year.

Must get those cot tt can use/convert ....(e.g those have 4 in 1 ,up to weight 40kg n have base height adjustment)
Those wooden cots usually will give additional bed guard which u can change, put the mattress to the lowest point and convert to toddler bed, essentially it's still the same size, mattress, just that with the bed guard, the toddler can go up and down the bed themselves

Eh, must be careful cos sometimes parents are too tired and roll over the baby or the baby shifted during his sleep & fall down the bed. No joke

Who is ur doctor? Congrats!
Me. My #1 slept in it till abt age 2+ till my #2 came along. Quite a good bed but its ex with no side drop if tts what u prefer. Tho it was marketed quite well, those features of converting it to chairs comes with additional cost. Being a current user, i think dun over-spend and buy an average one that cost 300 to 400sgd. It meets the needs too.

My bb used both mustela and kodomo since he was born. Mustela is quite good but price wise considered high. Kodomo is also bad but can be drying on some babies.
As for body lotion, i used physiogel Hypoallergenic. So far so good. It also works well on my niece who has eczema.

My sister recommended california baby so I've bought my stash of California baby wash, shampoo, powder and cream.
This is my no 1.
I was thinking of getting Tula too. Is there a separate infant and toddler one or can just buy the insert?

Hi babe, I got mine from AIA coz my existing policies are under them so I don't want any headache since I'm familiar with my agent as well. Double the premium for twins? I don't remember leh coz it's 2 separate policies for each baby. I've got no info on AXA but the policies should not differ too much but I heard the loading is more for ivf babies. I may be wrong so best to meet up with the AXA agent to find out more.

Just curious; subsidized patients can follow up at TPS? I thought only private patients at TPS, subsided ones at Clinic C (or A).

I'm discharged from subsidised after my doctor consultation yesterday, as I choose Dr Jessie Phoon as my gynae and she only has private clinic at TPS. So my follow up at TPS will be as private patient.

ya....got tell them they gota refund us since it's their helper fly us plane. but they keep stuffing other bio data to us. we did interview some last sun but all CMI....old birds really hard to deal. i mean if we can get suitable ones from them then ok, but we cannot wait indefinitely also. So opening up our options now. if they dun refund, my hubs is going to lodge a complain.
I just do review yesterday at 25wk. My babay abt 800g

Wk 28 abt 1.8kg. But my baby on small side at birth.
Ya quite a sian issue man... But on the other hand, really better than turn out to be a terrible helper or play u out later. Hope u find one soon....
Just went for 6 wk scan. It is a singleton. I am so relieved. Got small empty water bag next to the baby though. Mb got twin but dropped liao. In any case, i am just happy it is not twins cos don't think can cope with twins + toddler.
