i thot it was terribly exp too! but then, my hb calculate, it's all ice cream and haagan daz not cheap anyway, plus all the decoration and stuff...so technically, not exp for a haagan daz ice cream cake!
in fact their normal ice cream cake oso about $100. Small one cheapest oso abt $80? But I prefer the Swenson's ice cream cake...hehee...cuter and better for kid's birthday's.

sylk,
oh well...ya, i agree wif och...my parents oso can be very sensitive...i think the older they get, the more sensitive they become? Sometimes i oso get worried that they misunderstand what i say. can be a bit stressful. Worse, sometimes they remember it for a long time...
Vanessa, Berry
wat's the diff between eating cold stuff and liang stuff? Anyway, cold things, once reach our stomach, already warm up...by the time reach baby...oso warm oredi...thot it's only cold to our mouth and throat?

Hi bobianah,
I also dunno...but i still eat
like confinement they say cant wash hair for 1 month...dunno if i can tahan..but thank God giving birth at year end not mid year or else jialat
I also dunno...but i still eat
och,
fr my experience (sis using it as bb), bouncer is quite useful leh..
she can lie in there for several hours.. n bcoz of the netting, it's rather cooling on a hot day compared to cot/playpen..
she can juz nap in there.. or look ard when she's awake..
but there's size limitation lah.. very easy for them to outgrow the bouncer.. n when they know how to toss n turn, it gets rather tricky.. heee~

shihui,
my brother rejected his bouncer as a bb, so i put off buying a bouncer. but i think it's the most practical solution for in laws house.
r those with nettings quite narrow n small? wondering if they can last > 6 mths, then i can feed bb on a bouncer seat.
i'm so cheapo.

Hi Mums to Be,
Will you go ahead to wash your hair after giving birth ?? My mum will be taking care of me during confinement so I think she will be very strict with me on all these...cos the other time she read the confinement recipr book, the author wrote about cannot wash hair for a month..or else migraine according to Chinese practice

some of those confinement bks r written by authors in temperate countries. they can afford not to shower for days, cos where they stay is cold mah. i dun think it's possible to avoid showering or washing the hair for a month in sg. even if we can tahan, think our hubby n bb cannot tahan the smell.

Hmmmm....my mum will follow strictly one...i also thought of using the powder for hair. Saw in the web "Little Dreamers" they selling alot of confinement stuff...like powder for confinement use and for bathing also..Have anyone tried ??
och,
u can try renting a bouncer first to see if bb likes it. http://www.rent-that-toy.com/ or get a second hand one... http://www.babytown.com.sg/index.cfm?SessID=50876&Page=Product%20List&ECatID=1475
I was oso thinking of it...
berry,
hehe! yah, its been raining lately...rite now it's raining heavily here too. Anyway, i will wash my hair as per normal...i hv oily scalp.
vanessa
oic...think maybe liang stuff will hv more effect than cold stuff then. Cos cold stuff will become warm inside us...and bb feeds through the placenta anyway. I think my MIL dun let me eat cold stuff during confinement cos scared i fall sick. =P
shihui
u so cute...race against time...share the cake lor...and eat in aircon room! heehee!

Karen, ya my post natal massage includes the binding. Never heard of the steam thingy though.
Bobianah, i ever asked my regular GP mother of 2 if okay to take cold drinks during pregnancy, like what you say cold water once reach the inside of our body will normalize with internal temperature.
vanessa, i also bf for my first bb but find that tummy still takes longer to become smaller so though its bec c-section thats why.

qianhui's gynae visit is on fri, so most likely she is with her gynae bah.
bobianah, shihui,
the rocker can be somewhat unsafe when bb is trying to sit up, but i think most seats hv that problem. f&p planning a replacement, dunno if sg has it yet. i'm also looking at another f&p boucer available in sg http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Kick-Play-Bouncer-79636/dp/B00005QI1G/sr=8-21/qid=1164340729/ref=sr_1_21/103-9813650-9271869?ie=UTF8&s=hpc
today hor, keep getting contractions every few minutes. think it's bh, cos no backache yet n the intensity varies, but super irritating. made me throw up my breakfast. could only finish half of lunch too. think i will go n lie down.

Hope u feel better after a rest...

Hi 5!! yes, we must motivate each other...
I oso cut my hair really short so that it wont take me so long to blow dry it.
qsg
heehee! ya, that's what i think too...cos scientifically speaking, our body is warm and when we take cold things it warms up to our temp...of cos we can get cough and cold cos when it touches our throat it is still cold, but by the time in tummy...shd be warm liao.
jen
dun worry too much lor...like vanessa said, sometimes it's heng suay one... cos i heard ppl say eat too much birds nest, bb get phlegm. But my collick drank birds nest everyday of her pregnancy for two kids, and both have lovely complexion and no phlegm/coughing...
