langlao I was waiting for u gals to email me if interested le....but no one did...i dun think i will be ordering anything online cos i jus ordered some balloons and stuff from the BP for party supplies. for party favours, I get them randomly from supermarkt (for party packs snacks etc) and u can try SKP for selected party stuff. I also buy the favours /toys from a shop at my neighbourhood. I believe there are many such shops ard.
Plumsource, oh u still remember and like that nachos chips! I hv stopped eating those cos they are extra sinful! ehhehe..oh u should also try the Elcairs from the BPs too..they are super nice!

Hi Sharron,
Welcome.
Hi Grace,
Kiros has been on mamil gold from birth. On stage 2 now. We tried to switch him from mamil gold stage 1 to friso gold but he seemed to 'reject' it. He merlioned after drinking friso. tried twice. failed.
we had no choice but to stick to mamil gold which the hospital provided during his first few days in hospital. But i dont think its so much of friso content or what as my frens' kids are taking it well also.
Anyway, i didn't follow the instructions on number of scoops according to the tin. I make it less concentrated so that wont feel so ni4. As he was on partial bm and fm. Bm so watery then suddenly fm so thick i scarEd he merlioned again. That's why until now i still have the habit of making it less concentrated even though on full fm liao.
My neighbour's daughter was on full fm. When she tried to introduce partial fm-similac, her daughter cried so hard that we can hear her from our unit. Then she tried to swop to mamil gold after asking me what kiros drinking.
So there are many choices for you to try out. Buy the smallest tin to try. Even the smallest size one is going to cost at something like $16? Or ask for sample?

suzanne,
glad that yr boy is ok now, really must be more careful. I am still on waitlist but i have already confirmed the car n hotels. will be away from 1 mth, will try to update when i get to LA.
U can request for post weaning meal, usually its porridge. My boy definitely will not fit into the bassinet so i will let him play in it when he is awake, when he is sleeping,i will hug him n sleep sideways. thats my plan. hehe..
re:breastpads
I am still wearing them cos they still leak sometimes and i dont want it to stain my clothes. i used to change 3times a day, now 1set can last the whole day.

Grace,
Garreth is taking Enfapro now. Sometime ago I've received a sample tin (400gm) from Similac and also one (900gm) from Enfapro (very generous!!). Found that similac produces ALOT of bubbles when drinking, so changed back to Enfapro. My boy dislikes NAN cos' of its bland taste.

re: milk powder
my gal is taking NAN HA2, following what the elder one had previously...
but now also very puzzled, got a newer 'design' of the tin for NAN HA2 (got some purplish words/pic)... i checked the tin contents seem to be the same, but the new one costs at least $4 more! anyone knows if there's indeed any diff?
recently, someone called (i think GlenE) and asked if i want a free sample of milk powder and i said yes... and few days later, i found a BN tin of EnfaPro (i think), hanging on my grills (i was away that wkend)... it's a 450g tin wor! dunno to let my girl try or not...

hi ueno, i feel fidgets is better because they are bigger = more space compared to go go bambini. My colleague's son had his 2nd birthday in fidgets few months back and i was there. Their private room is spacious - except that the food that they provide are not so fantastic. Not sure if they allow outside caterer. I must say that place has 90% of expats when i was there.
ueno, haha CONGRATS!!! can try for bb #2!!! hehehe.. quick quick so we can have a cow baby together. haahhaas...
And yes i'm still bfing too. want to stop but don't know how to stop. haha!! night time give him FM sometimes he is ok, but sometimes he just refuse the bottle.. so i also dont know how...

Grace, my son is drinking NAN HA 2 not becos he has sensitive but I rather prevented it from happening. Let me know if you want sample, I can pass it to you for your gal to try.
Plim, I think there in a milk price increase recently cos the formula is the same.
Ueno, may you hit the jackpot soon for getting BB #2.

I am also trying for a second bb hopefully i will have a baby ox next year! I stopped BF since Ashton is 3months old, menses back as per normal and my gynae told me i am ready for the next pregnancy as i went elective C-Section for Ashton.....
BTW, any mummies out there have brought babies to Shichida or planning to try out the class? I heard it is very good but time consuming as you need to practise it with your child at home. Any feedback so far? Thanks! Sharron

Plim, the new NAN HA2 comes with dunno what improved formula. That's why $4 more expensive.
On the FM, the HK PD told me hor, HA or non HA, no difference as if babies who re truely allergic to cows' milk. These babies have to take a special FM that is super bitter.
Kitty, my hubby also has ad hoc ECAs too! Anyway, we all worked ard the schedule to have our personal time!

grace,
be prepared to wait for a few wks, 6-8 wks for the sample to arrive. The last time I called Nestle hotline, it took so long to arrive by then i hv given NAN 2HA to my gal as well. Like Gelyn, I also choose to play safe tho she din hv any obvious allergy, and yes, the milk can be a bit bland/bitter in fact.
plim,
i was told they added some "new ingredients" to the NAN FM hence the slight increase in price, tho i also din compare the actual ingredients yet. I still have quite a few tins since i usually order by half a dozen at 1 go.
ueno,
my cousin actually bf all the way till she is pregnant with her second boy, so yes, u can do it too!

Hi Grace and mummies whose kids on Nan HA,
i heard from my cousin that her daughter whom is on nan HA gets hungry faster according to her PD. And it doesnt taste as nice as NAN. not sure how true tat is.
Her daughter is 1.5 month old and drinking like 120ml at less than 3 hour interval. She taking NAN HA as her daughter has eczema and PD told her can switch to normal NAN when reaches 1 year old..

pig,
not sure leh, whether kids on NAN HA gets hungry faster than NAN... but for my elder gal, i switched her to NAN when she started on stage 3...
actually if u look at the powder, both looks very different... the HA one looks very coarse while the non-HA one looks very fine...
re: milk in-take
seems like most babies here are already taking at least 180ml every 3-4hr?
gosh, my girl has been drinking 130-140ml every 3hrly niah... has been like that since almost 3rd month leh! very little right? she gets a meal of porridge and a meal of cereal on top of the 5-6 milk feed of 130-140ml everyday... considered little or a lot ah?

Pig,
actually my PD says I can switch to NAN2, but i waited so long for the samples that i decide to play safe and go on to NAN2HA, since afterwhich no more NAN3HA, so can switch back to maybe NAN3 or even other brands?
K@ye,
My DH's fren refer us to "this fren" of theirs and we get some "special rates", so definitely cheaper compared to buying from the stores. But hv to order MOQ of 6 or 12 tins. How much is per tin in the store now?
plim,
u hv to look at the total amt of milk intake per day to be more accurate, cos Bevis seems to be of a small eater so may need more feeds. My gal can drink 200ml at 1 go, but her other 3 feeds will be 180ml only. So total per day approx 740ml?

grace,
i called Nestle n i received my samples the very next day, 4packets of Nan3. That was before my menses came back..hehe
plim,
i heard abt that too, some babies wean themselves off the breast when the mummy is pregnant. But i also heard successful stories abt nursing throughout pregnancy. The advantage is that yr milk is ready when the baby is born. I dont mind tandem nursing. hehe..
sharon,
my boy is with Shichida and yes, i practised with him at home too. cant tell if its good now as he is still small but he seems to enjoy it.

wa, u save so much per tin... can i tap on to you when u next order NAN HA2 ah?
S@L,

Pig, I am not sure about getting hungry faster but my son drink every 3 to 4 hours interval. After dream feed, normally he will only wake up in between 4 to 6 hours late for his next feed.
Re: milk in-take
My son takes about 170ml to 180ml every 3-4 hours. He normally has one porridge and 6 feeds or one porridge & one Cereal and 5 feeds.
Agree with lazykat that Nan HA is abit bitter. I heard that NAN HA taste is close to BM. Is it true? Is BM bitter too?
Lazykat, I was thinking the same way too. So I just continue feeding him NAN HA 2.
Maybe will change him to NAN 3 when he is older.

hi ueno - no i am working full time - but i get to work from home every friday ; )
the last time when i called the school, they told me the next intake its in Oct'08. Wow your friend got to wait till next year...maybe a good idea for Ashton as he will be over one year old by then which means he can understand slightly better.
