Re: Bottle and teats
Yup, I change bottles every few mths and teats every mth. Oh, I also change the brushes that clean the bottles and teats every 3 mths.
dodo,
I'm using NUK medium 6-18mths teat since Jav turned 6mths.
mummies,
I'm going to collect Jav and my passport this Sat. ICA emailed me to collect during 8-11am. Do I still need to make e-appt to avoid queuing? Pls advise cuz I dun wanna spend hrs waiting to get the passports. Thanks !!

junnie,
Hugz for Lance.
*Prayers that all will be fine n well.
chintz,
If I am not wrong, the instructions guide via the teats pkg do state the recommended period of use for teats/pacifiers.
Teats/pacifiers, I drag abit n replace abt 3-4 mths intervals.
I have yet change btls too, coz rotating among a few.

nice meeting up with all the mummies today! agree with bbwow, all the babies have grown so much since our last meeting.
bbwow, re pigeon teat, Y teat is slower than L teat. in fact, it seems even slower than M teat. main difference is Y teat is non-drip.
dodo, i have a maclaren volo. what would you like to know?

doobom,
What happen to our super cute Lance? Sorry didn;t manage to read thru all the posts.
SL PS:
Went to PS yesterday, appt at 9am. Wow! It's raining cats & dogs islandwide. Took a cab from Jurong West all the way to Sengkang..guess what? Its close to 40 dollars! I want to faint. Nevertheless like what most mummies here said it is really an enjoyable session with them.
The couple really can remember each and everyone's name & baby's name here! Super memory! Their passion for babies can really feel it though. No regrets taking PS with them. Aria, Thanks so much for the recommendation. Too bad cannot join the group PS with you which i really wish to. haizz!
Brought 4 sets of new clothes for PS but Sean did not use them at all lor. He took out two sets of clothes for dayan...the rest of the shots all naked! Haha...i love him in the flowerpot. Cute!
Can't wait to see the photos!

garden, i know that the next few days are going to be tough for you and PH. both of you are in my prayers.
dodo, here are my thots (based on my own pram search)
1) it's not the lightest pram in the market. think some combi and aprica prams are slightly lighter. but it's light enough such that you don't have to struggle when carrying baby + pram + bag.
2) i found it more compact than other brands, so it's less cumbersome to sling over shoulder and carry.
3) it's easy to fold, and most importantly, it can be done with one-hand. so you can carry baby and fold pram at the same time. BUT my hubby and parents/PIL took a while to figure out how to fold/unfold pram.
4) the seat is large enough, so baby can sit in it for a number of yrs. some of the other brands tend to be quite small in terms of seat size.
5) the trade-off is that seat cannot recline! it doesn't bother hannah, as she can sleep sitting up. but some babies might not be that comfortable in it.
my suggestion: go try it out at mothercare first, cos the sales staff there are more knowledgeable, and can demo to you. also can see whether zq is comfortable in it.
btw... i got it from taka (as i had vouchers). it was just over $200. think other places are also selling it around that price.

jas,
you're welcome
glad that you enjoyed your PS with SL. boy, $40 for cab fare is really very ex woh.. but no choice lah since it's raining cats and dogs and moreover it's peak period when you took it. take it that you save on time and you are dry and comfortable.
morning mummies,
finally my "ta yi ma" reported today...no wonder i felt a drop in supply recently and breast dun feel as hard as before..it's not fast and furious yet..may be tomorrow.. sianz..started to have cramp and light headedness liao...haiz...
garden dreamz,
take care and hope PH will get well soon!
calling for tiffy,
saw you preorder things from Ms Poh's thread. You do notice that she's not one of the cheapest Niseen BP organizer hor.. But I also noticed that those you order i think i didn't see it from other threads lah. So far, i think the cheapest BP organizer that sells nissen clothes so far is still Slpzzz.

totoro,
what was the last count for those joining the bash? if we order food for 60 pax, will it be too much? dun feel good wasting food leh..i think we will be so busy looking after our babies that we have time to eat and eat and eat..that's how i feel lah when i went for my gf's baby boy birthday party. Also, i remember ordering 25 person's share for 40 guests during aria's 1st full month celebration and yet we still have left over food!

gift exchange: just a thought
-limit to $20?
-unisex present
-wrapped up
read somewhere from sept thread that maybe we can no. tag the pressies and tag the no to balls.. put babies on mat with many many balls and see baby pick which ball and give him/her the corresponding present??

Aria,
Im sry, i didnt notice the last count, but its approx 30 couples?
yeap, I agree that we shldnt oder too much food, coz everyone will be mingling, so wun eat that much too. maybe we order 50 pax will do or lesser will do, since most mummies wun eat much.

gingerleaf,
yea, I agree! We should have a deadline! dunno la. I thought use excel spreadsheet easier to see. hahahah. Work hazard, excuse me.
ecookie,
sounds like a good idea! But what if the babies pick 2 balls how? And J most likely likes to take the ball and throw and take another ball. hahahha

bbwow,
I oso strongly feel that we need a deadline.
Coz we have other mummies whom we have never spoke to wanting to join, then if they dun pay up and we order their share, if they dun come, poor organisers will have to pay, not fair.

hehe...gingerleaf, actually that message is meant for totoro lah..i saw you being the last one doing the posting and i didn't cross my mind that totoro was the one who did the calculation..hehe..
yeah, agree with ecookie's idea of tagging the pressie with numbers and tage the numbers to the balls for babies to pick up
