Re thankful and contractions
Hope she is ok....i've also been having a lot of contractions over the weekend cos i think over exert. too much walking and bending up and down / squatting here and there trying to wrap my presents and put up christmas deco. think it's braxton hicks cos not painful. When should we see doctor about these contractions ah?
Hi dor,

re breastmilk storage
there is an overseas spree going on for Lasinoh milk bags. think it's one of the cheaper options around for milk bags? http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/590029/1108597.html?1197198276

errm...cheryl, a bit dangerous leh. why don't you buy one pack of lasinoh milk bags to try try first. it's about $7.50 for 25 bags (before shipping charges).
i plan to use the milk bags for home. for MIL place - i will use the Avent containers so she don't need to pour here and pour there.

Anyone know where can I get re-sealable caps for those chicken essence bottles that can withstand high heat? Thinking of using that to store breast milk and gotta sterilise first.

True that we can get glass milk bottles from hospitals. Just that the volume is quite small, max about 125ml whereas milk bottles can store up to 300 ml (those bigger ones). And I was able to get these milk bottles at $1 previously (now don't have such promo liao). Hence, it's more worthwhile to buy milk bottles to store (the cap for glass bottles alr cost $0.75 each).
The no. of glass bottles you need really depend on your BM supply. If you have excessive supply, then you'll need lots of bottles. I'm sure you wouldn't want the BM to go to waste even if your bb has enuf milk by latching on directly. So you will just pump out and store in freezer for later use (can keep for 2 to 3 months in freezer). Useful when you are away for holiday (like what June has planned)
The pram that my girl uses is from Lucky Baby. Was a gift from my bro. Think it cost $179 then w/o disc. Has reversible handle and full canopy. But it's quite heavy. About 6-7kg. So only bring out when hubby is around to lug the pram.
Thankful
Hope you are better now. Do keep us posted.
June
Ya, I heard before too that if it tears on its own, harder to heal back. I suppose our gynae will be experienced enough to know when a cut is needed bah.
Actually I think there's pros and cons in whether or not to intro bottle feeding to bb. To encourage bb to latch on directly, we should avoid intro bottle to them. However, some bbies become very used to direct latching and will refuse bottle if given to them at a later stage. If you intend to direct latch 24 hours, then no problem. If not, then gotta intro maybe one bottle feed a day some time later. I also don't know when's an appropriate time to intro. As my gal had slight jaundice and PD said it's due to some substance in the breastmilk that causes the jaundice, I was advised to stop bfg for a few days until the jaundice is gone. Hence during those few days, I had to give my gal FM using bottles. Thank goodness she was ok when I reverted to bfg. Subsequently, when my mum chooses to feed her EBM in the middle of the night, she's ok too. Just sharing my experience though different babies behave differently.
I 'bu she de' go on holiday without my baby/kid. Last time used to think it's a waste of $ to bring small bb/kid on holiday (since they probably won't know anything/remember when they grow up). But when faced with the situation, I just bring my kid along for holidays even though there's lots of hassle. Started to bring my gal on holiday when she's 15mths old. Now I think she's very experienced in taking planes liao.
Jeannie
No leh, I don't intend to do any massage. Why your hubby danced in front of you? So cute.
RE: Infant pillow
I also didn't use infant pillow. Same as sunny, just fold the nappy cloth and use it as pillow (that's what the hospital practise also). Till now, my gal doesn't really sleep on pillow, she moves a lot when sleeping so will shift all over and just sleep anywhere on the mattress without any pillow. Haha. Am thinking if I should get the rectangular flat type bbsafe pillow this time round. Hmm..
Sunny
Which brand of milk storage bag did you use? What the cost like? Am looking for alternative storage method cos the milk bottles I have are not enough to store the milk. Ended up I had to throw away those that I couldn't store anymore. Last time I think Dor bought the plaxtex storage bag from bp and was very worthwhile. Now can't seem to find such lobang anymore.

Yup, you blog is very nice with the fanciful side bar. I know nuts about such stuff.

morning ladies!
these are the bb clothes which i bought at 3pc for $10 at raffles place. the label dun indicate the no. of months they are for, but i measured, top's width is 23cm and bottom's elastic band width is 17cm (elastic unstretched). Comes in white, blue and yellow.
i think shd be the same as those linda bought?

Stephie,
sunny bought the playtex bag from shopbug.com. 100 bags at SGD12. but when I searched for the site, it's out of stock already.
probably you can join the drugstore spree at USD6.83 for 100 bags.
initially i was thinking to order from drugstore myself with the UOB promotion (15% off VPOST shipping charge + 3% rebates on shopping items + 5% rebate from drugstore) for Desitin, First Years tooth paste, and milk bags which already reach USD 40. But after seeing the tooth paste will only come 1-2 weeks later, I think it's not worth for me to use VPOST with my limited purchases.

hi ladies...
EBM
if we managed to pump and store directly into a milk bottle, can we just heat up the milk bottle and give to bb directly? even thou the milk bottle has been in the fidge for some hours/days? won't get contaminated right?
i realised i have four milk bottles plus two plastic bottles that comes with my breast pump, will it be enough for a start?
checked out the milk bags at robinsons over the weeeked...alomost like $1per bag, very expensive!

garfield,
that's a good idea.
I don't mind organising but I don't have experience on that. First of all, need to add additional mailing address (VPOST address in US) on the credit card.
btw, we can't do it openly here because there's a mother in Aug 2007 thread was banned recently because she organise some BP for Aug07 mummies.

hi stephie,
Thanks for the compliments.. To be honest, i oso noe nuts abt blogging initially.. i learnt it from my SIL from scratch and slowly improve on it when i get a hang of it.. so initially, the blog is quite bare & empty.. it's really not too difficult to decorate the side bar, just need time to do it..
the main purpose of me setting up a blog is that it is like keeping a diary on my son's growth development and how his look changes as days passed.. Also to keep a memory of those special occasions & share wif him when he is older..

Good morning. Kekeke.
One thing good about staying n work from home is your can wake up late. I had a restless night, so tiring. Have nightmare too. My tummy hv constant cramp and baby moves alot. Do you think I should check with Gynae?
Dorothy,
I stayed at my parents place over the weekend as my husband need to work overnight. My parents are shifting to their new place soon. Will do my confinement at the new place near Jurong Point.
Gift exchange:
Yap. I think so. Cos it is a day of sharing your joys. To an extent, if you have already bought the items, you can ask if anyone wanna exchange with you. In this case, you can get wat you want and she can get hers. Happy for all.
Goodbbb,
Yap. You dun have to buy a protector sheet anymore if you have a waterproof mattress.
Stephie,
I dun remember there is any brand. Come with white sheet cover. Do you want to go shopping at kiddy palace? I can show you, somemore I have the member card that is valid til end of this month. I think can get 10% disc.
Nachos
Hahahah... All your comments so funny. Make me feel like taking nachos. But I'm down with sore throat. Better stay put. *DROOLING* too.
