Hmmmm, I also think so but both my mum and MIL working currently. My mum offered to have the maid and bb over at her place at times but my mum is always running around herself, so can't really offer much adult supervision.
Maybe at the end of it, infant care might give me the best solution. I'll see how it goes, made an appt to go to the one closest and most convenient for us.

mamachan - infant care centre also will have those toddlers rite? these kinda care centres tend to have kids falling sick very often and you end up having to take leave and also to care for your bb at home cos they do not allow sick children to stay there. y dun u try to see if any non-working mothers/neighbours who might be able to help?

Infant care similar to child care except I read from the MCYS website that the max. ratio of caregiver to number of infants is 1:5. And it's for infants from 2 months to 18 months. I don't really know what to expect... just keeping my options open lor

I just got a new maid, but don't ever intend to leave baby alone with her. She's mainly for helping my mom look after my baby and cleaning house. She can work but not that great, if I leave my girl alone with her, i think i will not be able to concentrate at work. I may just kena heart attack cos sometimes see the way they anyhow do things... hair in milk bottle can still give to me to use!!!! die.. lucky we are around to be the main caregiver... can never trust a maid... that's just my opinion lor.. .maybe if baby is older like toddler, then ok... but now when they are so helpless..
My friend's son is at infant care and they say infant care trained their son to be very guai.. I suppose becos no one will spoil the child at child care and the infant can learn to be a bit more independant. Also, at least infant care there is some sort of govt. check.. cannot be that bad right?
I must confess, I prob. do spoil my girl a wee bit.. when i'm taking care of her.. ;p
hope this info helps...
btw hope ur baby is better.. must be xin tia when he is sick...

wenyl,
I am a fan of leapfrog pdts. my hubby bought the discovery ball from US (it's cheaper in US than here) and we thought it's a very good toy.
The retail price for leap pad is $70? $60 with a book sounds good but I need to check with my hubby. just bought a expensive jogger, don't know if he will like the idea. bought so many things for clariss already. bumpermat, jogger, bumbo, safety first bouncer, all the toys....

hee, the bumpermat is tuck in a corner of her room though we had opened it up from day 1 when we bought it when I was around 7 mths pregnant. I was lucky to spot the BP that was started by Carol who was in Korea. I paid $81 of some happy pooh design. I intend to clean it and put it in the living room with all her toys in a few weeks time, let her practise sitting by herself.
She can use her hands to support her body for a short period of time while sitting on the floor.

the idea of switching on the hairdryer to let bb sleep is interesting. think i shall try that if he doesn't wan to sleep!
mamachan
i leave my bb in my maid's care in the day. so far my maid is ok. in fact, a lot of pple say that my maid takes very good care of my bb cos he looks very good and clean.
there's pros and cons in having a maid to care for bb. one thing good is bb doesn't have to travel to and fro in the early morning. my bb doesn't have very fixed schedule so can be quite difficult to bring him to parents' place in the morning. the usual cons will be that my bb is quite close to my maid of cos...
my maid takes instructions quite well so she knows what are the things she can do with my bb and what not. in fact, mine is quite good in the sense that she teaches him quite a few things. i find that she's very good at getting him to play with his toys and improve his coordination. my boy likes to stand up now and he can grab things quite well also.

wow! thanks for your input. i think i would most probably put my boy in infant care. seems like the best arrangement so far for us at the present moment.
btw, where's your maid from? I did ever think if I want a maid, I would prefer a Filipino one. Coz when I was younger, my mom employed a Filipino maid and she's quite good.

Krissie,
re: 1st veg
I gave Keenan carrot. You might want to add rice cereal and milk to it to make it creamy. Potato or sweet potato will be next on the menu.. heehee
Celine, the blue nobbly thing is the rubber at the bottom of the teat. Can you see it sticking out, just below the neck. Doesn't Dr Brown has the 3 extra parts for milk bottles? I go take a pic of mine and show you later.
mongs,

krissie- i tried the hair tonic and it is quite good...in the sense it works so fast. this morning when i woke up my pillow has no hair on my pillow case and i realise my hair does not fall off easily.
I will try again tomorrow as i now wash my hair on alternate days and update all again. the feeling is quite good. cooling sensation after applying it on the scalp. i even put on my hubby too and he sure enjoys it with the massage added in. since he is balding too..might as well he do for me i do for him. haha...
anyway the brand is System 4, blue colour wording. I bought at parkway at the swensen restaurant that area. in a shop selling all hair prod and perfumes. 5% storewide. UP is 28 bucks.

maid
My indonesian maid also takes care of Ariene when we're working. Had her since sep 05 so i could observe her and train her before i gave birth. found her trusty so i can leave Ariene is her hands without worries. Occasionally i'll call home to check on how Ariene's doing and once in a blue moon, my FIL will drop by to look look

sunny,
I remember that your workplace has a full fledge nursing room with fridge, sink and steriliser. my company is going to set up one as well. hooray! I actually suggested to my HR after I can't use the library and have to pump in the toilet. find myself so ke lian and my baby even more ke lian. my management actually approve the suggestion and is looking into converting one unuse room into a nursing room. They have indicated that they would want a full fledge nursing room with a sink, fridge and sterilizer. I have suggested that they can have cubicles in the room that is similar to those of the toilets (lock from inside only) but they would prefer cloth separators (something like a fitting room) to partition the cubicles. How is it being done in other organizations? Can u advice? Also, I suggested that the flooring should not be carpeted as there is going to be a sink, water and milk may spill on the carpet and will be difficult to clean. I also suggested having a cantilever table from the wall so that the mothers can put their pump and a plug point in each cubicle. they may want to go to a visit a nursing room at KKH. any other suggestion?

LEAPPAD
I contacted the same supplier, Carol, from the mkt place BP & she revert saying her new stocks will be arriving after 12/6.
She has confirmed that she can sell to us at S$60 (min. 10 sets). Collect from her place in woodlands. If 30 sets & abv, she will deliver to 1 location.
Carol wrote:
"However stocks are running low hence will try to meet yr orders as much as possible but no promise. Any tech fault can replace within a week. There's no warranty from leappad as they need ori receipts from retail shops as proof of purchase."
So, mummies....pls take note on the 1 week warranty. Do u all still want to proceed to buy from her? If yes, once we collect the set from her, we need to check thoroughly & exchange with her within 1 week if there's any problems okie.
