hehe....my fav topic...insurance. For travel insurance, if your hubby is SAF regular or reservist....can check out SAF-EZ travel. The basic cover plan should be one of the lowest.
One word of advice, when you buy travel insurance...check that it covers post-medical cover. Some insurance companies, if you never see the doc when overseas, you will not be able to claim for your medical bills incurred in Singapore upon your return. Especially for small kids, they tend to suddenly fall ill upon return from a short trip. AIG provides 7 days grace whereby I can still bring dd to see the doc and claim back the expenses.
hee-hee, why I know, in my old job...I use to help activate travel insurance over the telephone line.

Chinese name :
Actually I am not particular but since fil travel to china frequently for biz...fil will take the ba-zhi for the china priest (dunno what you call them) for the character. The 1st one was really good cos he came back with a poem to explain why certain strokes were required my 1st dd's name. In singapore, everyone seems to recommend You Long zhi @ Geylang.
Speechwise :
Amber does speak a few words especially when she's in a generous mood words like 'daddy', 'phoebe' (my dog's name), 'ashley', 'mum-mum', 'nan-nan'. Otherwise, she's babbling a lot of glibberish which we have no idea she's talking about.
Detergent :
For my dd1, we used Pigeon baby detergent till Ashley was 1plus years old. But for Amber, think we stopped when she was ard 6mths old...my mum felt that the helper tended to use too much of the detergent power so she finally decided that it's okay to use normal washing powder.

<font color="0000ff">shawny & fates,
Thanks for the reply on insurance. Maybe I'd do some readup first but am very blur about financial jargons. Urggg ...
Mummies,
Which brand of disposable diapers are your tots using now? My Nepia is running out and am thinking whether to switch brands as I was told that the recent batches have some leaking issues. Is it true?</font>

Soft shoes gives little support. For hard shoes, you need to let them get used to the shoes. Sien has both. But she prefers the hard ones. I got mine from collette....
bbloh
Disposable diapers used is drypantz when going out. At home NTUC housebrand. At night Pampers Pre. She has ants in the pants while outside and refuses to sit down and change when outside.
Crazy me
Today, I was talking to my friend who is a pregger. I MISS THE BABY KICKING IN ME! I want to be preggie again!!! Hahahahaha....

Hmmm must get them used to the hard-sole shoes huh? Okok..
Thanks pooh! I will bring J to try out the pigeon shoes
Any good reviews on Clarks shoes?
Disposable diapers
Very similar to gabby, been using Drypers/Nepia during the day, and Pampers Premium during the night for J. Strictly pantz when we go out as it's impossible to get him lie down for diaper changing now. Sometimes at home, I'll let J wear Bumwear! Wanna save $$ on diapers and it's environment friendly

ino,
the soft soles are good when they just started walking...but once they are stable, you might find that the soft shoes are lacking in support and slippery.
thats my experience lah...1st week, soft soles, then move on to sandels liao.
Pediped is good but lack of friction.

oh i see...i tot the pediped has friction...hehe...my gal still not walking yet...only cruising...that's why i felt that it's more comfortable for her to wear soft sole shoes at the moment. Yeah...will take yr advice to change to hard sole ones when she becomes a serious walker...hehe

oh, actually soft shoes, ive got 3 bobux, i find the sole quite not solid enuff, u know what i mean, coz sometimes jen wanna walk wif my assistance at shopping mall, letting her walk on bobux, i don't feel ease, thinking to buy shoe with sole, at least when she step on something, the sole is there to protect, never koe got needles or wat.
ever heard of aprica brand? i saw it at stores, however quite boyish looking, so i didn't buy.

leejen...the pigeon and combi ones are a little boyish (in my opinion) but i like the padding lor.
but i saw more girly range for combi at tai sing.
combi is cheaper than pigeon...hehe...tink half the price. Pigeon ones are around $60...more ex than adult shoes wor....haiz...our lil ones are truly expensive...the cheapest combi i saw is at isetan when they have private sale (so mummies, go apply for the isetan card). They were going for $15 a pair!

I have 2 pairs - a pair of soft sole and a pair of hard sole (Disney). Yet to let my boy wear them as he's still learning to walk. I just let him wear socks during outing.
Vaccinations
Is there any anti-vax mums around? Some parents mentioned that MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) jab can lead to autism and there's a rising trend of people not bringing their kids for vax until they are older. The parents feel that it's not good to introduce so much virus into their little bodies. fyi, the only compulsory jabs are Measles (not MMR) and Diphtheria. The rest are recommended only.

pooh and leejen - yes, i oso bought colette for my girl's first pair of hard soled shoes, very comfy, sole can bend and good price. Now GSS, got 20% storewide discount somemore...thinking of getting one more bigger size pair for her. Must go vivo city outlet, more designs to choose from.
before that she wore shoo shoo...now she can walk a little, so we try to let her practise more and let her down to walk whenever it's safe to outside. So she needs the hard soled shoes.

<font color="0000ff">The link that I posted earlier is MOH's regulations that only Measles (not MMR) and Diphtheria are compulsory jabs, not info on MMR jab leading to autism.
For the latter, though it's not proven that MMR jabs lead to autism, but it's also not proven that the jabs do not lead to autism. one of the links is:

Dear Sir/Madam,
We have received the suggestion below that gave your email address for contact purposes. Please let us know immediately if you were not the person who sent the suggestion. Thank you.
Name: CAROL LOI PUI WAN
Email: [email protected]
Contact Number: 98476180
Category: Health
Subject: Vaccincations
Suggestion: I refer to the CBS News article at this link:
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/06/15/couricandco/entry2934107.shtml?source=search_blog
I would like to suggest that MOH reviews the list of compulsory vaccinations, with the aim to shorten the list to as few as possible. There are risks involved in vaccination. While there is no definitive study linking vaccines to autism or ADD, but there is also no study definitively disproving a link. Since there is free vaccination at polyclinics, shortening the list would reduce government expenditure, at the same time reducing potential risks, especially to those who genetically do not take well to vaccination.
I would like take this opportunity (since MOH officials will be looking at this) to ask the following questions:
a. Re point 7 of the article: Is the test described by the scientist who testified in The Vaccine Court (to test children for a hidden hole in their immune make-up that makes them susceptible to bad immune reactions from vaccinations) available in Singapore? If so, where? If not, why?
b. What are MOH''s efforts in trying to maximize the potential benefits of vaccines and minimize the harm?
Further, I would like to suggest that new parents be fully informed of the benefits and risks of vaccinations though MOH. Just as the list of compulsory vaccinations is given to new parents, there should be an accompanying list describing how vaccines work, potential side effects and reasons for them, and more importantly, the risks involved. This will allow new parents to make informed decisions instead of subjecting their babies to injections automatically, or just because they are legally required to get into schools. The latter is an oppressive way to force parents to comply instead of allowing parents to have the flexibility to decide what is best for their child.
Yours Sincerely,
Alvin Goh

Hi Ino,
Really ah? Combi shoes so comfy? Got padding? The friction at the soles are enough? I got Isetan card leh. So, the next sale i shd chiong there man
We shd make appt to go together 
Which other brands of shoes are good as in good friction for sole but comfy for wearing?
My boy is walking alot at home now, can even run sometimes but outside we try not to let him walk too much though he is super eager to walk outside.
He has 1 Disney shoe and the rest are all Fox ones. How come no one buys FOX shoes here? No good ah?
Cheers.
