Krissie,
I use Avent washable breast pads. U get 3 pairs in a box + a little laundary bag. It's good for home use. I don't wear it out as it's thick and round: u can see the circular outline thru' your top if it's quite fitted.
Sunny,
where abouts are you? I can show you how to use the sling if you like. I'm at Pasir Ris area.

Re. milkbags
Using Gerber now, pretty good but expensive. ONly thing is the capacity markings on the bag is not accurate. 150ml on the bag is actually only about 120 to 130ml in the bottle. Where to get Playtex? Anyone tried Lasinoh? I feel tha Zip and lock bags are better than those with clips.
Mamachan,
no one helping me out at home, though I always bring BB to my MIL's place and have dinner there. Breakfast and lunch prepare myself, but mostly just cereals and sandwich.
krissie,
do you soak up the pads? No need to change so often lah. I change once after shower.
Denmy,
HOw old is your Baby now? I read that bowel movements will reduce as he grows cos digestive system matures and body is able to digest more and purge less. My BB at 10 weeks now sometimes only poo1 once or twice a day. But I have to say that 5 days is a bit long...

tabbiesus n sunny,
re playtex milkbag:
i didn't double bag the bags. coz it's quite thick and so far i don't have problem with leaking. they are drop in liners, similar to the avent bags. but it's doesn't come w the twist ties. so i use clips from ikea. after i freeze the bags, i take out the clips and use a sealer to dead seal them. then i put them in a transparent plastic bag, dead seal it again a d finally put them in a ziplock bag. abit ks lah... but coz i want to make sure the meat and fish smell doesn't get to the milk coz i don't have a seperate fridge to store the milk.
i got the bags from motherworks. so far they are selling the cheapest.

Many guides said that the milk is better consumed within 4hrs if left at room temperature. However, what is room temperature? All those guide books are based on temperate countries' temperature and ours is a bit too hot to keep the milk fresh. So I think should put in the fridge if your bb is not going to consume it immediately or leave it in a cooler bag.
Better keep milk cool than warm. Bacteria multiplies faster in warm temperature.

cookie,
I start playing music when I am pregnant. Now playing nursery rythmes that is in mandarin and english (2CD) bought at Popular Bookshop.
I purposely buy got mandarin one.. so my mum can play and sing to my gal when she is with her..rather than listening to Hokkien KTV. Walau..cannot imagine that.. And as for english, I will play it when my gal return home at night.

Krissie,
u r welcome.
cookie,
I soak the breast pads in baby detergent (with the rest of BB's clothes) for a few hours and then hand wash them. I guess u can throw them into the washing machine with the rest of BB's clothes.
Re: Music CDs
I've started listening to Mozart and other classical music during pregnancy, and now play them to BB during the day when I put him on his baby gym. In the evening when he sleeps I play him him the Baby Sleeper (soft music with heartbeat and white noise). I think we should just play soft classical music to BB constantly. I did that with my 1st son, and he's addicted to the classicals now.

Hi mummies,
yesterday went high and low to search for warm clothings to bring to UK which is about 1 to 5 deg now. Only managed to get a fleece jacket (last piece!) & blanket, thivker cap and mittens for Isaac from Mothercare and they told me their warm clothing range is pretty much sold out. So went to Cold Wear and Winter Time at Suntec, don't have anything for BB under 6 months... Now contemplating ordering online from UK and ship the clothes to our hotel in UK prior to arrival. Sigh, must really think hard about bring newborn to cold countries. Now too late to turn back cos tickets and hotel booked liao.
Managed to catch Isaac in a big smile (not easy to get it man!):
Re. music
I haven't turn on any music for my boy to hear, Used to play the piano and classical music to him when pregnant.

Halo ladies, need advise on disposable diapers. Just want to check are your babies still using disposable nappies for newborn? or already switch to S?
I was told not to get so much for Newborn as bb overgrow very fast. I'm planning to use cloth diapers in the day and disposable ones at nite.
Any good brands for diapers? so heard, heard good comments on Mamypoko.

Hi Ng,
I am using Pampers Premium & Drypers. Like both. Yep dun buy too many NBs. Babies grow really fast. Do take note that Drypers S is smaller than Pampers Premium S. My baby wears M for Drypers but S for Pampers Premium.
Hi Queen,
Buy jumpers from Mothercare & some of the thick long sleeved tees too wear inside the fleece jacket. Shd help to keep him warm. Then can go shop at Mothercare in UK.
I love to shop at Mothercare in UK. Used to walk in there & buy loads for my cousin

120ml depends on bb's size. PD says my boy drinks a lot at 120ml at 4 weeks for his size. he was born 2.8kg n now is 4.6kg
mummies
realise my boy love car rides. the minute we get in, he will fall asleep no matter wat position u carry him.
have u tried strapping with seat belt? we tried but so challenging

Queen,
Issac is so cute.. he looks more like u than ur hubby.
Sysac,
So fast wearing Dryper M? I bought 1 pack at GIANT..so kiasu..cos got sales who knows it is still big for my girl. She is still wearing Dryper S.
Cookie,
Wow.. ur gal can drink 120ml of BM!! How I wish my gal can drink so much too. She is 1 and a half mth but still drinking 100ml of FM. Is the volume of FM and BM the same? Or FM seem to be thicker so bb will drink lesser?

Queen,
Agree with May....ur son resembles u more. I like his smile!
SY,
My little one also enjoys car rides...guess it is the aircon that he enjoys most. Never fail to sleep soundly! So far, I always carry him in the car. He simply hates being strapped to the infant carseat.
Rena,
U can call 62262650 to order Nepia.
My bb is currently using Nepia & Mamy Poko S. He is now 5.2kg. But I find Mamy Poko cutting for S smaller than Nepia. Mamy Poko leaves red marks on his thigh area. But for NB size, Nepia is smaller. Weird hor!
I find Drypers side gathers rather rough as compared to Nepia.
Personally I find Nepia still the best in terms of cost & comfort (cottony & soft).
Here's BB Ethan latest pic....playing with the rattle blocks

sl,
welcome!
my girl will burp out milk after feeds. Think some regurgitation is normal - not to worry
Re: music
i play children's music for my gal to hear in the daytime, and lullaby for nite.
Re: Avent Isis
Anyone can give some tips on how to express milk using this pump? i could only pump 40ml after 30mins! Quite ridiculous coz using Medela electric i could pump 60ml in 10mins last time. i think i'm not using the avent pump correctly - either that or it's not effective for me. And when i pump i don't feel the letdown reflex unlike when i latch bb on directly - anyone experiences the same thing? And after pressing the handle for 3 or 4 times, then there'll be no milk expressed. i've gotta release the whole pump, let breast rest for few secs, then continue. Then pump 3 or 4 times, same thing happens - no milk expressed. Then gotta repeat the cycle over n over again.

I hold the pump close to my breast n do not press the handle all the way down. Just make small rapid pressing till there's milk, usually this is when u can press the handle more. soon i will hv let down. When I hv let down, then I press the handle all the way down.
