Abbott just called me saying that the government has imposed a rule to milk company not to give infant FM to mothers. Main reason is to encourage us to BF.
However, we can request Similac 1 (0-6mths) fm the hospital when we deliver. Abbott will keep our record and follow up with us when baby is 5mths old....fm then onwards, they are able to give sample for 6 mths babies onwards.
And if you are first time mother and would like to be in their mailing list, give them a call to input your details and you will receive a Abbott baby CD in Dec.

baby_milk - I ask oni ans some of ur questions as i m oso new in "employing maid". I've paid my deposit of $500 to the maid agency. Balance of $2500 will be paid on the day i confirm my selection of maid. The $2500 includes maid's 8th mth salary ($280/mth), balance of agency fee ($688 -$500 deposit - btw agency fee varies, depend on the charge of individual agency) and insurance ($72). Was told by my maid agency tt we can request no off day for the maid on the contract with the condition tt we pay them additional $20/mth as compensation. For my case, i can hv 3 replacement but each replacement, i need to pay a nominal fee (cant remember clearly, got to check). I do not hv ans for Q4, tink got to check w my maid agency next tm when i go for selection of maid. Also, we need to register, study n pass an examination for being the 1st tm employer(either online or at Sgp poly).
janey,i also feel nauseaous, just seen my gynae last monday, told him about this.. he said, during 3rd trimester, some mummies will experience this, something due to the stomach being pushed up as baby gets bigger.. so to minimise it, control our diet, eat less at each meal, but can have many meals in a day.. take care loh..
mummies,
But me also must drink more water leh I think, because I got huge ulcer on lip also.
But yeah, am applying the lip balm regularly, must say that it helps to relieve the pain from my cracked lips lo!
zenn,
I dun really keep bank statements and bills... oops! Will only keep the important stuff like: CPF/IRAS statements.

zenn, UOB not good service too but the cards really lots of perks, promos and dining priviledges.
bbmilk, am not too sure about agency fees etc and different terms cos it varies depending on which agency u go to. maid levy is $200 so long u got children below 12 yrs old at home or elderly above 65. as for maid replacements and stuffs, it's V impt to read the T&Cs carefully, and ask the agency clearly before signing anything; some agencies can be quite "cheating". To add, maid's offday for indo is once a mth, pinoys once a week if im not wrong; the agency i've been to allows u to pay $20 for each offday which the maid forgos, right until the 6th mth and then have to negotiate with the maid whether she still wants offday or rather get $20 more. Lastly, think u shd make it very clear to the agency and the maid no handphones, can trigger to be a very troublesome and annoying issue.

I take all my vits and calcium at night...cos morning usually I eat breakfast in office so too early to take at home.
fish oil can take wif either but vit should b separate cos it contains iron. thats y should avoid milk when takin vit. actually nothin really wrong takin together but separate can absorb better.
<font color="ff6000">mild</font>, i also lookin for toys! heee oh i bought that fm fm robinson @ $8.90 b4 20% discount.
<font color="aa00aa">sherl</font>, i heard of Kids' Tools but dun see it around leh. i wanna buy Tiny Love bumper set cos one of the side is B,W & R. I saw it at kaki bt but didnt get it. Last wk tried robinson & suntec but couldnt find
