SSL: Between 0-4 months, bb needs very few pieces of clothings as he's not mobile enough yet and so wouldn't dirty himself. He wouldn't be sweaty either. Once bb hits 4 months and starts on semi-solids you'll need a lot of bibs and hankies cos there'll be lots of mess during meal times. Before the age of 4 months the hankies are extremely useful using botttle-feeding times. Dun bother with the bib before this age. A 0-4 month old bb probably needs up at at most 3 clothes changes in 24 hours. And they grow very quickly so dun bother abt buying nice expensive clothings.
And you're right to say that Kiddy Palace has a wide range of bb things. I think that's the place to go too as well.
Dun have every piece of clothing to be for 6 months and above, it will definitely be too big for the 1st-2nd month.
As for the bb carrier, you'll have to get one with a flap on the top where bb's head will be so that it can serve as a support for a 5 month old's head. You wun be needing it so soon though. Bb has to be able to raise his head well for you to use it without causing injuries to bb's head and delicate neck. A bb sarong sling is probably more useful for bb's from birth up to 10 kg. I used it to carry my girl till she was abt 7 months old. You can get both at the Causeway Pt Kiddy Palace. I can't really tell you which brand is good tho I have both the carriers, but I do know that the best way to know is to open up the package and feel the material and the overall support it can give bb. Beware of the bb carrier as well as sling though, if bb is too heavy it can cut at bb's thighs.
K, am going out now! See ya around the forum 2moro!

hello ladies,
been a while since i was at this thread. some update : just had my detailed scan on friday...everything is fine. thank God. Now then feel more relieved lor cos i'm oledi 33 plus suffered a previous mc...so when the triple blood test result came out as low risk and baby developed well, so happy!
Baby is now 355g and confirmed a girl so now JIT for GSS! Only thing is that doc was unhappy that i put on too much weight; so far 5kg at 21 weeks...think must be careful for the coming months lor.
Jenifur,
pls update : it's a girl and I'll be delivering at MAH. Thanks!

Kris: Thanks alot for your tips
Hubby wanted a sarong but he is unsure if it gives good support for BB's back. For me, abit hesitant maybe cos duno how to use
Viola: Congrats
Am sure its a great relief for u. So most of the weight gain went to you?? My boy is 395g at 20wks5days and so far, i only gained 2+kg. Think most of it goes to my boy

Hi SSL.. You're definitely not the oldest in this thread.
I turned 36 in Jan!!
Anyway, my mind is fixed on the infant carrier - baby bjorn. It's the costliest in the range - ive tried all of them ranging from $26.90 to $175 and still feel that the baby bjorn one is the sturdiest of the lot. I wanted to go on US ebay to bid but my sis in law says she'll get it for me. She used it for her son and her sister in law is currently using for her daughter and they all say it's worth the money.
I was at Kiddy Palace yest and I saw 2 mom's using non bb bjorn carriers - their hands were not free, they had to hold on to baby and the bb did not look comfy, almost falling and the strap was not study at all. I'd really rather invest in a good one and pass it down to someone next time..
So far, I've bought only mittens (1 set) for my bb. hehe..
I wanted to get the Rapid Pigeon Steriliser - retailing at $87 in KP. But i think with 20% disc maybe the price shld be better than that..

Hi Ruff
I personally do not like the slings, just because I find that I dont feel comfortable and baby's spine is constantly in a curved position. Since I felt the most comfortable with infant carrier i'm going ahead with it. If you have a bb (borrow someone's) u can put the bb in both and see which is more comfortable for parent and bb.. I think that's the best bet for u.
Thanks Sneaky.

yvonne: my last checkup was at week 15. I dun think my gynae was careless lah.. cos all 3 pairs of eyes (hers, mine and hubby's) saw what REALLY looked like bb's 'penis'. That's why we were all adioso sure it was a boy. She scanned bb then from the top front, and during the detailed scan the radiologist scanned from bb's bottom, saw 3 lines and announced it's confirmed a girl. My hubby has accepted it completely, but I'm still coming to terms to it partly cos of the curt treatment I've been receiving from my mom since then.
good morning all ladiez,
Is that true that the gender of baby can change at the later stage??
Dun scare me, I just had my checkup on last Sat, and my gynae told me that my baby is a boy, he is very confirmed abt that. Then my husband is so overjoyed...
If next Sat my detailed scan comes out the result is a baby girl, can't imagine how my husband will react??
Sigh... and my mother-in-law too...

morraine: 3 lines on the scan showing 2 labia lips and another line in the centre.
Puea: Erm.. I also tot that once it's a boy it's more or less very confirmed it IS a boy, but if you can't see properly and doc says it could be girl then there could be 50% chance of it becoming a boy eventually. I think my case must be really rare lah.

Hi Ruff, I'm also thinking abt buying a cot, but really confused abt wat i want. Some people recommned a playpen that comes with a bassinet to save money. But the bassinet doesn't look comfortable for baby to sleep in.
Wonder if there's any mothers who are planning to buy a play pen for their babies?
Oh by the way, i'm almost 20 weeks now and expecting a little boy
Will be giving birth at KKH.

Puea: Most ppl will know the bb's gender during the detailed scan, but there is a small minority of uncooperative bbs that just refuse to let you see anything.
yvonne: Ya lah. Most important is that bb must be safe and cute and healthy. I already have one very cute (in my eyes lah.. keke..) girl. One more will just be double the joy and bliss.

Kuririn: Ya, i also checkout Robinson, Metro and Isetan today. All places got 20% sale on Pigeon brand.

- 2 front button tops (9-12mths) (Metro) (Elle - 1pc got 20% dist, 1pc $6)
- cotton infant cap (robinson)
- Set of 2 front button white tops (3-6mths)(Robinson) $9.90 (think got dist too)
Kiddy Palace
- 3 new born tops (2 short sleeve, 1 long sleeve)
- 3 bottoms (2 short for newborn, 1 long with covered up part at feet for 0-6mths, 1 long pants for 0-6mths)
- 1 Mitton & Bootie set

Saw that most of the places selling the Pigeon Sterilisers are priced at $87 (nett) and comes with free 2 bottles and 1 cleaning liquid.
MC:

QiQi,
I don't like those play pen cots cos it may not last as the baby grows. I mean, I want to seperate the sleep and play area. The basinette part, I find it a bit low. I prefer a proper cot where the top position is pretty high so I don't have to bend down so much.
I saw this cot by KidsParadise @ Robinsons. They have quite a few models. I like the one with 5 positions (height) but cannot be converted to toddler bed. I find it weird that when we convert the cot to toddler bed, the headboard is so high. And no guarantee that the kid will sleep in that bed.

Good morning ladies,
I went for my detailed scan yesterday...baby was performing stunts again but the radiologist still managed to capture all the necessary scan within 30mins so not as bad as what we expected.
The radiologist that scan for us confirmed our baby 90% boy and later my gynae saw the film plus with her past scanning with our bb she said its 99% boy....so can I take it that my baby is a boy because after I read about what happened in Kris's situation I am quite worry as my hubby also very happy and announced to most of our closed ones already. *sigh*
My hubby said he and the radiologist saw baby "penis and scrotum" but I can't really see clearly then as I was lying flat down.

SSL: For me I needed a lot of breastpads as I was leaking like a faucet! Everytime I thought of bb I would leak. So I suppose not everyone experiences the same thing.
I used up a few boxes of the Pigeon breastpads. Other brands were not good as they tended to disintegrate really fast. Why dun you just get one small box first and see if you need more after delivery? I was still wearing the breastpads up to 4 months post-delivery.
As for nursing wear, unless you intend to go out a lot, you really dun need so many pieces. At home a t-shirt is most convenient as you just lift and feed whenever bb starts to whimper. OUtside you'll have to be more discreet and use nursing wear and maybe even a sarong sling for modesty.
yvonne: ya lor.. 2 kids.. keke.. that's why at first I tot a boy would be great.
Celine: Dun worry so much lah. I think yours is a confirmed case already.
LIke I said earlier, mine is a very rare case.
