mummies!!! any lobang for bumbo seats???? Wonder if anyone want to organise one in our lobang email group....
The nursing room is those small ones just enough for changing diapers izzit? If I wanna feed bb there, got place to sit?
Tempting to bring my naughty boy to ikea to get a clock for my living room.. spoil liao.
But scared ppl stared at me when he make noise during feeding! Prob gotta split the feed to half too.. so that the milk wont get cold. Hai.. Is there any warmer I can get when I feed outside?

Cannot leave the bb in bumbo seat unattended... though when my #1 time, I left him alone watching TV. Then he wasn't able to move out or even try moving out. So depending on your own bb, if very active then better not leave unattended. I love bumbo cos it really help to allow some free time for myself. I even bring it out to kopitiam... he sit there and watch us makan! XD
But must prepared to be using like 2-3 mths only lah...

hmm...
When you feel that your child can support his neck and back liao... Mine now 3rd mth old, he can sit inside but still need a little support. Best is 4th mth old... depending on each bb's developement. My #1 used when he was 4th mth old, then ard dunno when he started showing that he is trying to climb out of the seat, then I stopped using.
CSI_Fan,
You rmb the olden bamboo seat for baby? This is the modern one lor... material is like silicon, rubbery yet soft material.

valeriet,
i am interested in the neck float too! hmm.. wonder is the coming taka baby fair would have it ... looking forward to do some shopping for my twins!!
wa.. u all had a meet-up session on sun har? must be fun to have so many babies around the same age together! well, bringing 2 would be a real challenge for my family and I, thus, I had to give it a miss! I probably would only be able to join you guys when they are older and more manageable...

alien,
the most impt thing...does it fit into your car? hehs. No matter how good, if it doesn't fit into your car also no point, right? heehee...
Then the next thing is "how many point harness is the car seat?" - 3 point harness or 5 point harness
The width of the car seat (or it's "wings") is one factor to consider too. Needs to be broad enough to absorb any impact (before hitting the child), in the event of an accident.
For me, the amount of padding for the car seat is also impt.

hi all,
i'm not sure if the working mommies here feel the way i feel. even though i'm back to the society again (working) but having to send him to infant care, i somewhat feel depress and upset to be apart from Shawn. really feel like breaking down. now that it's qtr end, i'm overwhelmed by the @!#^&*_( number of emails at work. But of course my boss and colleagues are kind enough to not throw everything back to me. I feel i'm TOTALLY not prepared to be back at work.
Last evening when i got home, i felt really really tired and was so sensitive with my hubby's light comment about something, that i picked up an argument. terrible ya!
today is day2 at work, this morning we worked out to a more refined operating procedure. Woke up at about 7.00am. Hubby helped to feed Shawn while i pumped milk. Rushed to shove things into the bags and then left the house at 8.20am. Went to the infant care ctr in a cab, with baby, backpack and another light shoulder sling bag in tow. Quite jialat. Managed to get into office by 9am after I dropped off baby and smooch him goodbye. I wonder how am I to handle if I have conf call at 8.30am or if I had to carry a laptop to/fro!!! I admire those mommies taking public transport and the barang barang plus a baby, in a long long journey! I wonder how they do it!
anyway, just wanted to let off some steam early in the morning today, coz i feel pek chek. i don't feel sorry for myself, just wished that only if I could work things out better and easier...

Jeelo,
It's like that for the 1st few days. I was v tired, n miss my bb lots too. But by the 2nd wk, things were much better liao. Got used to the momentum already, in fact, its much more peaceful at work! so quiet! hehe. Then every evening will be rushing home.. looking fwd to see my naughty boy. Maybe at night take turns with ur hb to feed loh.. so that wont be so tired. I'm lucky I still got my mum to help out.

hi jeelomeelo
same here! feeling depressed although i'm back for 2 weeks alr. my boy was taken care of my mom. my intention is to actually bring bb back everyday but my mom insisted that i put bb there till i bring him home on fri. Reason is that my mom is staying 1 bus-stop away from me, and i carried my bb, my big bag & another bag with pump & walk to her place. I know her good intention but feel that i'm not bonding & spending time with bb
yesterday, was super angry with my mom & I flared up because she has been making insensitive remarks like 'wonder why you both here, bb is crying so terrible?', 'bb never vomitted when he is in my house', 'he has never cried like that when he is here'. I know she love her grandson very much as he is the 1st grandson in the family but i simply cannot tolerate her remarks & i know she does not really mean that. I also feel very pek chek & hb said that I'm too sensitive ..

wah alien, you all more power. I'm no longer bfeeding already. So makes life easier. I only need to wake up 2-3am on alt nights for feed, cos my mum help me feed alt nights. Then I stay over at my mum's place on alt weekdays, so no need to drive bb to n fro.
jubeck, my parents also like to say the same thing! Like how come u feed always cry, I feed never vomit, once u all reach home he cry liao (which is true, he make noise almost every evening when we just reach home.. dunno y). But I just ignore them lah.. I just try to spend as much time as I can with my bb can liao.

hi jubeck
i can really understand how u feel. My mum is that way too. She can drives me crazy. Even when i brought my boy out to the shops nearby she can say, poor boy mummy don't pity u. How can she say that?? She made it sound as if i am abusing my own son. There was 1 time i was very angry at her that i told her if she continue saying like that everytime she sees my boy then i won't let her see him anymmore. Was so angry!!! Hate it when she make me feel incompetent.
Rite now i'm on no pay leave. The thought of returning to work next week is really scary even though its only for 2 days as its the school hols.

so far i still ok though it's my 2nd day back to work, but really missed jovan badly though I trust my mil who can really take good care of him. Every morning got to bring him to mil place and evening bring him back home after dinner at her place. In the mornings, hub always help me to take care of bb while i get myself changed, makeup, check my barangs and also to make fm for bb as he need to drink while travelling to mil place. I'm lucky in the sense that jovan will switch to auto zzz mode after his last feed (he usually sleep at 10pm), so just put him in the baby cot with some music on. That's where i can qucikly clear some stuffs and ready to zz by 11pm.
But quite tiring cos mil stay in serangoon and i stay in sembawang....

botanist,
the supplier's comments : "They should be here any day but Addison was a print for February only. The only ones available for March are Mia, Ava, Sophia, Cameron, Carnival and Ethan. You can see these fabrics on becobabycarrier.com"
did you get your appletini pikkolo from MamaKanga too? have they charged u for international shipping yet? there was this website that i visited which charged abt US$75 for shipping 1 Beco to Singapore - scary!
since u have done so much research on the baby carriers... can u advise if the Butterfly can carry babies in front but facing outwards? i thought i read somewhere that we can put babies facing outwards, but so far all the pictures i have seen are all facing in.. and the product description only says front carry without elaboration...

Jubeck, my mum also wants me to leave my boy with her during the weekday and bring back on Friday cos she cannot bear to see me waking up so early to send baby to her house. I try for 1 night and I really cannot bear to be away from him so decided to bring him back but who knows, I got sore eyes so was quarantine for a week before I get to see him. That is the worst week lor!
Now every night I will bring my son home

bluelily, i think bb's teeth start come out ard 9th mths, mi oso nt too sure hehe but i think they start teething early bah. i only will give jovan solid food when he is 6mths old. I wont suggest to give bb solid food as early as 4th mths old unless ur bb don really like to drink milk, tat was told by some frds of mine.
