(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Mummies,
Talking about diapers, my sister already bought for me at Malaysia.

2 packs - Mamy poko (NB)
2 packs - Mamy poko (S)
2 packs - Drypers (S)
2 packs - Pampers premium (S)

Then me also bought 2 packs NEPIA (NB) here.

Wow! Spend $149/- in total.
 


Missmoon,
drink more as in 7 glasses of water a day, a bit more if u do sweat..If u can flush out excess fluid then good. Like other food, too much become a toxic to your body.
Ya, it is common for us to have that but some is really serious until they cannot walk..
 
Hi Ladies!

Long time no post! Re: turning of baby head: Mine also didn't turn yet. Gynae says by next week (Wk 35), if she still doesn't turn down, chances are she'll stay that way till delivery and I'll need C-section at wk 38. I'm wondering why gynaes usually recommend wk 38 for C-section? Why not at EDD itself?
 
Hey Hong,

I agree with you.
The Motherhood fair was a Let DOWN!!!
Thought I can really grab all the BB stuff there one shoot. Has been reserving myself to buy anything beforehand, waiting for this fair to get some good deals. But HaiZ (Big time), I finished the fair in less than Half an hour and bought nothing. Is either there is really no much things there or It is the first Day of the Fair thus it looks pathetic.

I guess have to go for GSS already.
 
Hong and COnnie,
Lucky i haven go.. wanted to take leave just to go to the fair.
I think buy things at Kiddy Palace better got 20% discount now..
 
Connie,
Yah same as u. I thot i can get a Babysafe pillow for my daughter. I only got 2 pack of EYS chix essense and some clothes as gift.

I think u can go Isetan, JL or robinson to get ur stuffs.

Sandy,
not worth going. If u want nepia diaper can call and order and they give free delivery if u buy 4 packs and more. Same price also.

Jazz, i mean i didnt see Avent prdt.
Dun waste time going to the fair, go to RB or watever that give 20% or more discount.

Mummies,
i'm not feeling well, i can feel the heatiness coming up my head. I am in very blur state now, i think i pack and head home to rest.
 
Hong,

Frankly speaking, I still dont know how to bath baby w/o the bath cradle. Even go back my hometown i need to bring the bath cradle along. :p

I found it's very safe when bath baby. No need to worry slipping or baby fell down. My MIL also found it's good cos she also dont know how to bath baby.

Ally did cried the 1st few times but afterthat she really enjoyed and like to bath.

So for my 2nd baby, I still wanna invest on it
 
Hey gals,

the motherhood fair is such a disappointment!!
really not worth the effort to go there..

NOIF,
your bb is really CUTE!!
 
I tot we should drink loads of water to avoid water retention? That's a paradox huh?

During my second trimester, I didn't drink enough water, less than 1 litre everyday. My urine was dark yellow. As a result, my bb is small. That's why it is said that dehyration will lead to preterm babies. I am delivering my bb at week 37, something I do not relish doing.
 
hello noif

Where did u get the bath cradle? It looks very comfortable. What kind of material is it made of? I saw some that are made of plastic and it looks like it will cut the bb's skin.
 
hong, u better go home & rest. U r overload wif too much work. Go home go home.

sandy & missmoon, i read online sd drink more water to prevent swelling. Have a tendency to drink lotsa water.. my fave beverage.

sandy, me too! At 1st planned to take leave & go to avoid crowd. Hengz, already bot most of the bb thgs.

Heartburn:-
The other day MTBs were mentioning abt this? Read it online that honey helps. Copy & paste the excerpt here:

Bit o' honey: People have been combating heartburn for ages with a tablespoonful of honey in a glass of milk. Whether or not it works, you'll get a sweet, perfectly safe sip of calcium.
 
hi all...i heard from readio station..a chinese sinseh said since s'pore weather so hot..can drink coconut water...but must eat the flesh too..cos water is cooling...but flesh is warm..so if water and flesh talen together...shld be ok..and if drink coconut water...the bb skin will not have much rashes when at birth...own experience..but dun drink everyday lah..once or twice a week...can liao...
 
and abt the swollen feet...most ppl ard me told me that if feet swollen for the 3rd time..then bb ready to come out to see this world...dunno if it was coincidence..but i really delivered my 1st boy after swollen for 3rd time...
 
Missmoon & Jazzyjas, I read my pregnancy book and it said not advisable to sleep on back. The heavy uterus will press on your stomach and some major veins of baby and yourself...

MTBs, I bought most of my baby items from Baby Kingdom at Shun li Industrial Park. Find there got more items than the next door neighbour " Baby Hypermart". The price at Baby Kingdom is not that cheap. Normal pricing. For baby clothes and pillow cases, i suggest to go neighbourhood baby stores to buy. So much cheaper. I usually go to one baby shop at Serangoon Central.

For breast pumps, I bought Medala single electric cum battery breast pump (about $100 plus) at Baby Kingdom. The salesgirl told me for Avent breast
pump, there are no parts that can be individually replaced if spoilt. Got to replace the whole thing. But for Medala, the parts can be replaced individually and the whole pump gaurantee for a year. As such, I think buying Medala is better.
 
By the way, craving for sweet things to eat , i.e. sweets, ice-cream, chocolate , is it good? I seem to need to eat at least 2 sweets per day...

I'm in my 33th week.
 
missk,
I bought it from Robinson. Now selling $16.90.

Yup! It's must more comfortable compared to the plastic one.

The material ah?? I dont know how to describe leh, it's clothes like material. Very soft.....
 
dsiitan,
Yup! Can use from new born till 1 years plus.

When the baby can sit probably, u can put the bath cradle on the floor instead of bathtub. Then the baby can sit on it instead of lie down lo!
 
noif,
thats gd..maybe i shld get one since this time round i'll be doing my won confinement..hehe...u said can get it at robinson? how abt JL??
 
Sandy,

I am having a baby boy .. gynae estimated to be a big baby .. about 3.5kg when due . Still dunno what mode of delivery should i choose..
 
Hong,

So what else they sell at the motherhood fair?
Any cots & bedding sets selling there? Sound like not much.. Still tinking if worth to go anot...
 
Hi all, Just wondering if there's a few standard size for baby cot? Looks like there are several sizes in the market.. and how to acually find a mattress to fit unless they are bought from the same place, isn;t it? and how abt cot sheets? Abit confuse with these..

Went to the motherhood fair yesterday.. i bought the medela pump there for abt $151, after a 15% discount, and some other pureen items like wipes, detegent, dappy rash cream, disposible panty..

Fen Fen, I saw some cots and bedding sets.. not much selection though..
 
Hong,

You went to Robinsons already?? Nice stuff there??


Fen Fen,

Ya saw some bedding sheets too. Actually only from 3 stores.

First one is the cheapo looking kind, rough material - Selling $69.00

Second one, from Lollipop design, nice but expensive neh. - $179.00

Not much to see there.... go waste time if it is not convenient.

Misaryeo,

From my Understanding, the standard Baby Cot Sizes are
28"(W) x 52"(L) x 3"(H)
or
28"(W) x 48/50" (L) x 3"(H)

Thus, their Mattress also easy to get cos quite standard. Same goes for the Bedding Sheets, Bumpers... blah blah...
 
Any MTB been to the mothercare festival at Expo and Motherhood Fair ? Which one is better... I went to Mothercare festival and feel that its a disappointment.. really nothing to buy..

Hey Mummies,

Sorry I lost the number for Nepia already.
Can your advise me??

Also, How much packet should we get for New born babies before they grew out of it and change to a bigger size?
 
Mummies,
Anyone has stuffy ears and nose? I keep having it! Although it will go off after a while, it's still irritating.

Daisyduck,
My gynae also said the same thing. If baby doesn't turn by next week, then must plan for c-sect at 38 week.

FenFen,
There is a playpen selling at $69.90 at the Pur booth near the stage area. They also have a cheap cot, I can't remember the price. The quality not very good.

Pregger Photography:
Mummies, just to update on my friend's package at the Motherhood Fair. $84 (30% off $120 if sign up during the fair) for 1x super 8R and 3x 5R, unlimited shots....so you can choose your best pose :p She has Kids Photography package at 30% off also.
Let me know if you are interested, I see if I can arrange with my friend to save you the trouble of going down to the fair

hi all , the motherhood fair got sell bedding anot ? cos i am looking for bedding , but still cant find any nice ones ... any idea where to get nice ones ?

thank
 
Hi MTBs who went to the Motherhood fair,
were there any baby slings and baby carriers there?

Does anyone know where to buy baby slings made of netting material? :)
 
hi girls, thanks for the reply. the reason i asked bout ur weight gain is cuz i haven't been gaining weight, so am a bit worried.

joan... the motherhood fair sells baby slings. the MIM ones and another brand. but didn't see the netting material kind.
 
hi all, if anyone experience the cramps (but still bearable and feels like menses cramp) at the area where the bb head should b at when deliver... dunno if its normal or what.. abit worried cos now im only 34 weeks..
 
brambles... Thanks! Are the MIM ones cheaper there? If not, I'll just get them elsewhere... haha.

Fen Fen... I'm now in my 34th week too and yes, I do get cramps like what you described. My gynae said it's normal and if the pain is bad, can take panadol to relieve the pain. :) So no worries about it.
 
hi joan, think it's slightly cheaper at the fair. like the mid-range one is selling at $40 with the demo VCD included.

talking bout cramps, are these contractions? cuz i heard that contractions feels v much like menstrual cramps?
 
Joan,
Places like Kiddy Palace giving 20% for most items...the sling may end up cheaper than the fair...heeheehee
 

Fen Fen,

I think the Braun ear thermometer is good. Once, my girl had high fever and I brought my pigeon ear thermometer along. Mine registered only 39.x whereas my gynae's Braun thermometer registered 40.x! That's almost 1 degree diff! Will be seeking out any good discounts now, during GSS.
