this thread is moving so fast! i spent 2 hours just reading through it...
QOOSAN!
is it too late for me to order the playtex milkbags? If possible pls help me add in one packet. thank you so much! if can add in i'll transfer u the money when u confirm.
garfield, actually i also don like open shelves cos same reason as u la... don wan to accumulate dust, difficult to clean. but then for this one i'm thinking that those with drawers and doors all have to bend down one, which i don't think will be that convenient after giving birth. and i think since we are going to use these things quite often, probably won't collect dust. as for those that not using so often, can easily store in those storage boxes.
jeannie, ya i bought the kind where can face out type. not planning to get a sling as i saw lots of ppl selling the MIM one and seems like quite difficult to understand the VCD. pram wise... hope some kind souls will give me as baby's present lah... hahaha. otherwise doesn't matter also. till i find it too troublesome then i start to shop for one.
milk bottles & holiday - shd be going japan has hb planned as incentive trip for his team and assuming bb drinks 7 bottles a day, 7 day trip means will have to store at least 49 bottles! So i think yr 3 bottles surely not enough. i'm oso quite worried about the milk feeding part, cos i wan to feed full bm, but my IL place has no clean freezer and thawed bm can only store for 24 hours.
sunny, is one nappy enough as a pillow? or need to put more?
Stephie, thanks for the BF info.
i don wan to bring my bb to holiday cos when i was young i din remember my parents bringing me to those places also, so i tink it's a waste of money lah. haha.
leaking milk - actually i started leaking at 4 mths. then was quite scared so i called the clinic to check but they said it's normal. cos i don wear bra at home, my t-shirts always got stain. and when i don wear anything(cos home alone ma), the milk can even drip on my thighs!
squeezing nipples & inducing birth - when bb BF, yr uterus will contract. so similarly, any nipple stimulation will cause uterus contraction and induce birth. another 2 things that will induce birth(if u have sex) is deep penetration & semen entering.
bra size - i have a big problem with that. as mentioned earlier... i dunno where to buy my bras. other than the la senza ones that cheryl mentioned b4, which is only up to 85D. where else to buy bigger bras? rem that time someone mentioned marks & spencer issit? my breasts are too saggy i'm having rashes underneath them...
