Ms Tan, dip stick is norm for most gynaes. The GD test is optional. But some gynaes will recommend. Mine does. Both times i went. Now waiting for monday to go back see her for results.

SG: Yes... I am 1 of those who doesn't care who is outside talking or eating or not, i will just continue to latch and BF the baby, with curtains drawn. I will allow my girl friends in to chat too! haha... I don't really care lor. Jesline, yes. The urine dip stick is the 1st part of...

SG: Hospitals will provide top, wrap, mittens, booties for baby to go home. Unless you pantang don't want bb to go home in hospital clothes, then u bring bb's clothes. Most hospitals will also give u a bag with some goodies inside to bring home, in addition to whatever left over supplies you...

Ashley, if you cook the alcohol long enough, it will evaporate, so whatever is left is safe to eat/drink. I remember my MIL poured like half bottle of martell into the chicken to make chicken essence for me during #1. She double boils the concoction for like many hours. By the time it's done...

Silverygal: i sent u a friend request on fb! The other mummies who PMed me, I think something wrong with the PM, i didn't get any of your messages. Could you try again please? Thank you!

Mummies who have PMed me, please be patient. I am waiting for emails to get routed to me. =P I will be sending you a friend request, cos I can only add you to the group after you accept the request. Can I also seek your cooperation to LOOK for the INTRO Thread in the FB grp and introduce...

Smallpea. I dropped u a friend request and a message. i can only add u to the grp after you accept the friend request.

Bbliss: I am ok with Nepia since #1 was newborn. Recently I changed her to MAmy Poko at night. Cos she is super wetter at night. And Nepia can't always contain all. Otherwise day time is ok. Good with poo!

Kimmy: Yes. I stick with Avent for the barrier cream. It's the mildest (non medicated) that works well for me.

Kimmy: Mamy Poko is good for my #1 at night. She is a super wetter at night. But I only started when she was like 16 months old, when i realised that her nepia was leaking on some nights. But it is bad for poo! I tried this on her before in the day, and when she does her wet poo, it's explosive...

Starrie: I would advise not to use drapolene or desitin as diaper barrier cream. Can use as treatment. Otherwise, if the rash really comes, nothing is going to work. There are other brands of barrier cream like Mustela. But I never try before. I have been using Avent Bottom Balm since day 1...

LittleDd: Babyfair may or may not be cheapest. Stock might be limited. Some brands won't go on crazy sale. Regardless, should still try out as many as you can. Rashes: Some babies are just more prone to it than others. Hard to say. I swear by the Avent Baby Bottom Balm. Always put a lot...

Kimmy: Yes. I used a lot of Poise packs. Especially when my cold and cough is real bad. Can leak very very bad lar! Sometimes i feel like i just peed in my pants. ARgggg... At least no need to run to bathroom like crazy. Nepia diapers u can get from some NTUC too. But not all NTUC have...

Starrie, 90 pc for new born is definitely not much! Considering you will prob need to change them about 8 times a day or more. So 90 pcs will last u like 10 days! haha... I will probably be ordering more nepia for the new baby closer to EDD. Will get a mix of newborn sizes and S size. Cos we...

LittleDd: Diaper must really trial and error. Better don't stock up too much. My ger was ok on the Fitties provided by TMC, when we went home, we bought huggies, she was also ok. Subsequently changed to Nepia and we stick to that cos was cheaper and trim and good. When she was about 14months...
