morning mummies!
Aquarius, I hope you feeling better. Take care ah
icylemon, the panty you bought is for maternity?
blue genie, you managed to call Mt A yet? I bought the pigion sterilizer cos its cheaper..hee..and its also big enuff to contain other brand milk bottles such as Avent. Plus the metal piece at the base is exposed for ease of cleaning and maintenance while some other brand (like Avent) is enclosed so hard to clear residue and rust (if any). Also came recommended by 4 other friends who are using it now.

Janey/HoneyStars/Icylemon, I also lurve beef. Esp. now that my gynae has changed my iron pills to something midler (the previous one gave me constipation, got blood in stools
), so I think must supplement with other iron sources
All mummies, remember to drink lots of water and eat plenty of veg and fibrous fruits. Don't end up like me, got blood in stools last week. 1st time saw so much blood in the bowl, worried until my face turned white. Now I make sure I poo-poo daily.

blue genie, no particular model but juz Pigeon Steam Rapid Sterilizer. Pigeon only has two sterilizers. One small one that only fits 2 bottles, the other one would be this. I remember icylemon mentioned that IMM sells quite cheap.

RE: Beef
Eh...eating beef wont get big babies la...
it is eating too much high sugar or high carbohydrates foods...
Beef is v good source of iron (compared to other meats)...those who have anemia prob should take beef more often...
Another healthy alternative is ostrich meat...higher in iron content but lower in fat content when compared to beef
but now supplies in singapore generally quite low...
Milderina, once I know boy I also shop and shop...as I said, cannot shop physically cos hubby will stop me....but I shop online order from BPs and online stores...ehehehehe....

Mrs Wong, other than beef, what other meat good for anemia? Cos I am buddist and dun take beef leh..but I am suffering from anemia. Ostrich meat supply low in singapore...uhm...
Bluegrapes, any red meat is good. Mutton, ostrich, deer
Ostrich supply low due to bird flu...onli approved farms can sell ostrich meat to SG, most of them in Aussie...last time south africa got supply us with alot, but now cannot bring in from SA le.... My supplier dun let me buy ostrich in bulk already, but she still sells ostrich pizza (v yummy!!) and ostrich sausage to me...if interested we can start BP
For those who can't eat beef can try taking pig's blood.
But remember not to eat calcium and iron together. Calcium prevents iron from being absorbed into the body. ie: no milk and high iron foods together, no iron tabs and calcium tabs together.

Mrs Wong, oh no!! I have been taking calcium and iron pills together!! So how long should I wait before I take the latter one? Any advice which one should I take first?
Btw, is pork red meat?
Btw, is pork red meat?
Bluegrapes, some pple have told me pork is white meat, but I don't care, still think it's red meat. Dr Chan has laid me off iron pills for a week, so grappling to find new iron sources. But today when I saw her, she's prescribed me milder iron pills. But still no multi-vitamins leh. She said multi-vit consists primarily of iron so if I'm already taking an iron supplement, then no need. So far, it's still folic acid, calcium, fish oil and iron.
And yes, I take iron on an empty stomach very morning. Then 1.5 hours later, than I take a glass of milk. Then another 1 hour later, I take a fish oil, then 1 hour later (or sometimes, in the afternoon) then I take the calcium tablet. If u take iron and calcium tog, the latter prevents good absorption of iron. Also, rem,. not to take iron with milk.

Bluegrapes, I also wanna wait for my detailed scan before splurging on the BB clothes.
Mildy, could I trouble you to alert me if there are any more BPs on cute BB clothes? When I was in USA sometime back, I've already bought a lot of OshKosh and CArters stuff, but now that I've twins, it would be cute to dress them alike.

Honey Stars, I've started mine at KKH already cos' the course will end in eaarly Nov. For the other courses, if I start in Oct, those will prob end by Dec. By then, I don't even know if I would be too big to move around, much less do the exercise.
Bluegrapes, u've been on the MAG tour already? M going for the tour this Sat.

Pork is not red meat. The iron content in pork is very low. BTW, pork is considered as inferior quality protein compared to protein from other meats.
Alethea is right, iron is taken on empty stomach in the morning cos iron needs the acid environment in stomach to be absorbed.
any high calcium foods should be taken 1-2 hours later.
Calcium tablet usually is taken at night with or after dinner
Pearlein, i'm starting my classes tomorrow night
cos oct-nov period is busy period for me and hubby, so we need to attend now or we wont have time to attend already...
Alethea and Milderina, actually, advice given by my mum and experienced mummies is no need to buy clothes for new born cos:
1. they outgrow very quickly
2. pple will buy as gift sets
the 2nd one is v true cos my fren told me she has not bought any clothes for her daughter...and her daughter is turning 1 already...and she did not get much hand me downs either...all her daughter's clothes are new clothes tt pple buy for her during full month...
my mum onli allows me to buy clothes tt are for 6-12 months...my hubby onli allow me to buy clothes tt are for above 9 months...recently i joined a BP for carter's rompers and he found out, ask me to change the size from 9 mths to 12 mths....

Alright! Shall take iron pills with an empty stomach in the morning from now on.
alethea, I went to the MAH tour last weekend. Was surprised to see that the delivery suit looks so much more friendly and cozy than I thought. haha...but the tour is super short. Think last for 10 to 15 min only.
