Tinkabel,
I heard that mamy poko is not as snug as pampers and its costly cos of the royalty. I think you wont go very wrong getting pampers active. at very most is you will not buy a second pack. But shouldnt be case of ending up not using it. Plus ever since using pampers, i didnt change kiros's diaper middle of night unlike Goon or Pet Pet. Pampers can last like 10-12hours during night time.
Hi Langlao,
Ya pampers active. Kiros been using XL for past 1 month.. eerrr..Ya, he a bit on the big backside end.. haha.. he weighs 10kg..Rightfully XL is for 12kg and above. But i see that he is more comfy in XL.
he used to be using Goon. But i calculated that for Goon XL will comes up to $0.50 per piece also. So in the end i decided to buy Pampers which usual price is $0.60 per piece.
Hi Mambobb,
I count regardless of whether birthday passed or not. Eg, Just minus year you born from 2008.
I used to swear by this chart until 2 of my friend's result ain't correct. However, since we dont really really a control over it, at least we try to make it happen la.

tinkabel,
I have been using pampers active right after pampers new born.. .lol. I find it fantastic and I have not change kyra at night since she was 3 months old (if she did not poo), about 12 hours. No sign of diaper rash at all too! It has my stamp of approval anytime!
She's also using XL at the moment.

sowie,
you are funny... lol. I find betty crocker too sweet... that's why now making my own
I can reduce sugar and add good stuff into it
. I prefer the taste of butter and tend to use that a lot more than oil.
You are so welcome on the cheddar biscuit recipe. Its always a winner at home and soooo easy to make! Only one complaining is hubby as he cannot stand cheese!!! hahaha

ask u all ar.. porridge can keep how long ar?
Hi Tinkabel
For my gals they can't use mamy poko cos they have inherited the mama's thunder thighs...cos mamy poko tends to be quite tight esp after it's heavy with urine.....for me night time, it's alwats Pampers Active...it can last like 10-12hrs wihtout leakage and nemo's bums are still dry.....the leg space is better for fat thigh bbs....

Perhaps now I will have more time to bake. I'll be heading off to Pasir Panjang wholesale market later and then off to Woodlands to buy frozen seafood and maybe some bacon and sausages. Looks like my freezer is going to be full!

Cindy, arielle's standing @ the stairways of Four Seasons hotel.
Kittybride, arielle can stand quite long holding on to something (without our support). But can can't stand without holding on to anything.

Gloomybear,
Baby A can stand well. Kiros will attempt to stand when he managed to grab something. However, Kiros cant sit unassisted for long. I am worried that something might be wrong with his muscle.
Cindy,
Being able to play while being sick is good. Take this chance to rest also bah. Is he on medication? If he is, you can catch some sleep when he is sleeping. Do take care and dont forget your folic acid.

Re: Weekend
Normally, I don’t have time to access internet on weekend. Only access on weekday…haha.

Kitty, have to find time lah. My hubby has ECA every Wed. So, every Wed Claire & I will stay overnight at my Mum's pl.
During the weekend, we take turns to do our stuff and at the same time settle Claire. Yesterday, my hubby napped the whole noon, when he woke up then i went shopping with my Mum.
If we dun do this, no personal time for our own!

kitty: I took one day leave during weekday and cailyn was with the nanny, so i went to salon to color my whole head.. haha.. that's the only way lor. Last sat I just went to msia to do rebounding coz my DH's co claimed its cheaper and qaulity is not bad. So gave it a try lor. Put bb with the nanny again.
I used to go facial every 2 weeks or once a month before pregnant. Now no more facial liao.. sigh..
only manage to DIY at home (fast fast one) before fetching bb.

hi mummies, talk about babies falling sick.. my boy was sick 2 wks ago with fever then he receovered on sunday and started cough last Tuesday. And Guess what! He FELL off the car seat cos his daddy didn't buckle him and didn't ensure the handle was secure before carrying him out of the car in teh car seat. We're using a maxi cosi. And there was blood coming out of his mouth. So poor thing ok? Sleeping and woken up in pain. I really got a rude shock. Couldn't take it lor... cried from Sengkang to TMC to Raffles Hospital cos the doctor at TMC was so lousy and I didn't feel comfortable after seeing him, so I paged for his PD at Raffles Hopsital. Paid a bomb but what to do? For peace of mind it's all worth it. Traumatised after the whole saga. Super angry with my husband but he also feel guilty lah but V V V V careless... I told him if he drops my baby again he better jump down himself. So now I always hold him tight tight.. Super Heart pain

k@ye,
at least your hb only ONE day ECA.
my hb is like at least twice a week!
he got training lah, then league lah, then sometime dun know wat last minute ask him to play league as well.
then no choice every nite is chloe n me at home.
i guess that's y chloe stick to me like glue when it's her zzz time. she'll just reject her daddy and cry for me to carry her. sigh...
last fri i finally DESERTED both of them for 5hrs... muahahhaa... went for gathering with my ex-coligs; put this off for the longest time since my pregnancy till now, so cannot escape liao then my hb said he have to bring chloe in and out of the bedroom so many times until she also blur and tired so conked out around 930pm! so poor thing! she usually sleeps at 830pm. but lucky she didnt cry like crazy else i'd probably have to rush home again.
mambobb,
we did left chloe with nanny when hb n i have to run errands and 2 wks back we went for massage and left her then. probably will take leave again next month when my boss goes for his overseas trip; at least less stress!
and good idea, i probably should go JB to do my hair coz they did a beta job than some of the saloon here! and cheaper too!

Plim, hehe of course my hubby takes care of Claire then i can go shopping with my Mum!
Suzanne, aiya... Is your boy ok? I can understand how you feel.
Mambobb, i make it a point to go for facial every 1.5mths. That's the luxury i indulged myself in! As usual, hubby will stay home & look after Claire. HAha!

k@ye: ahiyo.. my hubby always scare to handle cailyn alone at home. When cailyn was just 1mth, i went for rebounding for 1 full day by the time i reached home, my hubby was totally knocked out and wont want to handle her by himself alone at home for too long. -__-".. if I want to go shopping, that would be bringing her along liao.
Suzanne: ahiyo.. so heartache arh after reading it.. what did the doc say?
kitty: i would not say its better coz the product they use might be not so good thats y cheaper and also the coversion rate lor. anyway since now budget budget, so go there and try.

I remember my second son fell at 9mths old and hit his head on a sharp object, he had a 1 inch gash on the top of his head and when I looked at it I almost fainted because it was a gaping big hole!!!! 5hrs waiting at the A&E in UK with no choice, the doctors just 'glued' this hole in his head and sent us home!!! So, I would count myself lucky to be able to choose to see a private doctor at a moments notice if an emergency arises.
I just got back from the dentist! I went to Le Mints on East Coast rd. They charge me $25 consultation and $70 for filling, $75 for cleaning. It was sooooooooo pppppppppppainful!!! (eventhough I ask for my gums to be numbed) I have to go back for 2nd round of cleaning next week, because I couldn't take the pain so we stopped halfway!! hahaha
The Dr was nice, the clinic is clean and apparently they do 'everything' to do with dentistry. When the dentist was cleaning my teeth I felt like I was tortured, I would have agreed to anything and confess to crimes I didn't commit during my session!!! They should offer this as punishment for criminals, I swear it would halve the crimes in the city....

suzanne -- hugs .... hope your boi is OK! my dotter also had blood gushing from her mouth the last time she knocked her face on the floor (and it was me looking after her!!) ..... i can understand the fear, anxiety and guilt.
she was Ok after a while even though i also brought her to KKH A&E.
take care and if u dun mind me saying this... don't blame your hubbie too much....i think he is feeling very guilty already. for me, i already felt sooooooooo bad that she hurt herself under my care!! the last thing i needed was others commenting and making me feel worse

pig, no worries, my cousin-in-law's kid (boy) sits unassisted only @ 9 months. Walk only at 14 months.
RE: pamapering ourself
I always take office hours off to go do my things... paint nails, facial, do hair etc.. and BB will be with my mother. That's the perk of doing sales. heheheh initially i feel guilty not fetching baby earlier as i have freee time but do my own things instead... but now, used to it liao... need some time for myself also mah.. heee
But if shopping, i will surely bring her along, cos i feel there's no excuse not to bring her along. hehe

Dreamer, hehe... If our babies got hurt under our (Mummies) care, we will feel the most hear pain and comments from ppl will definitely make us feel worse.
BUT, if its others who re careless, our Mothers instinct will make us flare up at them! I think its human lah...
Plumsource, u so funny! Most dentists have everything under one roof but must know how to single out experienced ones. I like my Raffles Pl dentist coz he is very honest with me. Meaning if he can do it, he will do it. If he can't, he will recommend someone else.
Eversince, gone thru some much pain for all the dentist. I prefer someone experienced & I dun mind paying for it!
