BlurQ,
Walao, yr #2 showing us his washboard tummy... how you plan one 2in1? My #2 is also a 10kg+ baby(30th Nov), I am using Pikkolo and still doing great. Hahhaa
ah bie,
Thought you craving for Wen Tou Xue?!? Walker will not cause scratches... those manual ride-on will. Uses feet to move the ride-on type... walao... my marble and praquet all got scratches one. Praquet not as bad.
Huggies Ultra,
Bought one to try as I heard from a mummy that it is good too. Yes, it is good and the cutting is better than Pampers Active. My son's on Pampers Active but his thunder thighs cannot fit well into L. The Huggies Ultra cutting is great for thunder thighs!

missylan,
hehe he love to suck his clothes, a shorty and round
lucky to hit target in apr to have dec edd, #1 overdue, induced but end up emergency c-sect, #2 gynae said chance for vbac was low, didnt engage so went for c-sect again in week 39 to have the same birthday as korkor
for pikkolo, the waist strap seems thinner than Beco, gd support? carry long hours taxing on shoulders?

BlurQ,
Oh, the birth date is planned one. Hahha... Pikkolo doesn't have padded waist strap but for me, the shoulders strap are more important, dun really feel waist strap a burden, more burden on shoulders. Though it will be nice to get padded one(more comfy), it will also look more bulky ard your waist.

i have an ergo. ergo got bulky padding and it's bulkier at the waist. I'm using it everyday for my baby to/fro work. (i suppose he's almost 10kg - was comparing to a bag of rice the other day at ntuc). ergo is just plain color in comparison to beco/pikkolo which come in prints.
my ready-in-1/2hr porridge recipe :
1 1/2cup of water
1tbspoon of millets
1tbspoon of pearl barley
8baby asparagus chopped
1slice of butternut squash (sliced thinly)
- boil water and add the millets/barley (stir occasionally)
- add the veg about 10min before serving
shawn finishes about 3/4 of the amount cooked. loved everybit of it (about a bowl of rice bowl)1/4 served to my dog
-serve cheddar cheese as dessert

BlurQ,
I haven't booked my tickets yet - will wait to see if got any good deals closer to date. Will go either in early Dec or Jan, depending on my hubby's schedule. I'm going for F&E, as I used to live in Taipei so very familiar with the area. So you are touring around taiwan, not just taipei right?
Weather is good during that time! Nice and cool..
Ergo is much more bulky than pikkolo/beco. But they are more or less the same. I would advise you to try out the carrier first before buying so if you have a friend who can lend you or if you getting an Ergo, there are local stores which lets you try it on... then you can decide properly.

crystalz,
yup easy to buy, just look out for the Welcome supermarket. They are located almost everywhere and usually in basements. If all else fails... if you do visit Taipei 101 (I'm sure you will), there's a Jason's supermarket in the basement as well.
which hotel you staying at? If you are nearer to Taipei train station, there are alot of shopping malls there and there's usually supermarkets in every mall.

hi crystalz,
you can find millets at the organic section in ntuc. i oso ask the same question last time...ekekeee. i chop asparagus in small pieces. so far he's ok with it la. so far i tried, it's quite soft, coz they are chopped quite thinly so easy to cook. the pearl barley i got it looks like smaller/longer grain type (not the round fat ones)

botanist,
i will be staying at Ximending (TS Hotel). Actually prefer wonstar.. but more ex. haiz. Ok, so i just bring enough diapers for 2 days. keke trying to bring as little things as possible haha. how about food? those potatoes, sweet potatoes etc... should be easy to get it i guess? thinking of bringing the slow cooker there... but dunno can use the plug anot... cos my fil told me his fren brought a HP charger there and can't use. Cos is a old model HP charger and need a transformer in order to use it...

most likely to get pikkolo, ergo seems broader at the base...he is a shorty
but i saw an online shop that allows renting of ergo, may rent one so that my hubby can piggy back the elder one at nite markets...
went taipei for f&e in Nov 2006, temperature like genting at nite, nice place and lots of food n shopping...so this time round will tour around taiwan, easier to join group esp with kids n my parents
heard that mid-end dec temperature is around 10degree? rainy season?
crystalz,
i have a list on places to visit at taipei and some weblinks. i can email you if u r interested.

hi Crystalz, yup you will need transformer! u check yr slow cooker.. cos some produts are travel friendly and can allow you to use with different wattage.
ok if you are in Ximending, there shld be a Welcome or other supermarkets nearby. Just ask the hotel for info. If you need fresh foods like potatoes etc, can definitely find in the supermarket but hor... their rice is different cos they eat short grain rice so the porridge texture will not be like what we are used to over here.
I'm less familiar with ximending cos i used to live near Taipei 101. If all else fails and you die die need baby supplies, i know of a baby shop at junction of RenAi Road Sec 3 + KuangFu Nan Road Sec 1 - it located at the main road just above KFC (2nd flr). They have baby clothes, supplies, toys, strollers etc
Along KuangFu Nan road sec 1 (directly across from the Sun Yet Sun Memorial Hall) there is also a MOtherCare store. Its only 5 min walk from the bb supplies store.
Hope I didn't confuse you.. heehe

BlurQ, yes rainy season in Dec but subject to weather/winds from China. Wont be 10 degree unless there is bad weather from China side.
Jan is colder so if you go in dec, its actually the best time. It can get sunny in the day as well so weather is just nice!
re: ergo. my son is tall but has short legs so the ergo is just nice for his shortie legs! haha. i got it mainly because it doesn't look girly on my hubby. I used to have beco & pikkolo too but my hubby dun wanna use so hve to sell all and keep the ergo.

BlurQ,
weather is quite unpredictable so i think u still gotta bring more clothing, esp for bb. yes long sleeve T and jacket is enough. as you move down the island, the weather is warmer. but if you travel up to the mountains (if you are going on tour) then might be colder
