Hi Jgal
RE: heating stored EBM
What I read from breastfeeding.org.sg website is this:
Thaw and/or heat under warm, running water; do not bring temperature of milk to boiling point; shake before testing the temperature; do not use a microwave oven to heat human milk.

Is anyone getting a maid to help when the baby arrives?
I was wondering, when/how early to engage one? February? March? :S I would like her to have some time to learn the ropes, and buffer some time in case I have to change maids.
But what to do when husband and I go to work in the day those few weeks/months before baby arrives? Can't leave her at home alone leh. Was thinking of dropping maid off at PIL's ... but labour law says maid can't work in 2 addresses, right? So that means the maid will idle in the PIL's house during the day? :S
Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi joelle,
Am having the exact same questions about maids! I am thinking of getting the maid in at the begining of April cos can't leave her alone at home also. THen asking my mother to help train her for 2 weeks and it should be in time for baby's arrival. Hoping to get a experienced maid so maybe less time teaching?
Have u tot of whether u want to get an Indonesian or Filipino? I am thinking of leaving her at my mother's place for 2 weeks.. just 2 weeks should be okie lah.as long as the maid is not actually working for 2 households.

Hi steph
I still can't decide on many matters -___-
RE: Indo vs Fili - I have been strongly encouraged by the MIL to get an Indonesian because they are supposedly easier to control. However SO and I can't speak Malay - MIL has volunteered to translate. I have my doubts whether this arrangement can work out -___-"" I am seriously considering learning Bahasa. The worst outcome would be not being able to communicate with the maid PERSONALLY, I'd hate to leave things to the MIL and risk having any miscommuniation or conflict of authority.
Are you getting Indonesian or Filipina?
The PILs have suggested to engage maid at least a month before baby arrives i.e. engage in March; they are saying safer to engage earlier in case need to change maids. But have no idea how to arrange things... technically even if she goes over to PIL's to "learn", she is still working, right? "Learning to work" ?
Maybe I should speak to an agent about this.
In case you're wondering why my PIL seem to be very involved, it's because we will bring maid and baby to ILs for my MIL to supervise when I return to work.

Joelle....i thk its a gd idea to engage the maid at least 1 mth before ur EDD or you might even consider 1.5mth...just in case ur BB arrives earlier...
tt gives the maid time to learn before the bb arrive and you will get a chance to train the maid...
i heard from many frens tt Phil maids are better with BB but you got to take note that they r more ex and most take sunday off at least on alt wks.....hope this helps...

BabyDust & LUCK
OK will keep an eye out for Top!
Stephanie Lim
In those cases when maid arrives 1-1.5 month before baby, have you heard of what kind of living/working arrangement is done, when husband & wife are out working in the daytime? If leave maid with P/PIL, do they work there? Any conflict with the labour law?
Cheesycake
Haha OK tonight I tell MIL ... hate to trouble her but bo bian hurhur
Kea
Have a good short holiday. I've never been on cruise before!

BabyDust: Yes, Top has the front-load series (purple packaging) with low suds.
Joellez: I am engaging my MIL's maid's sis for myself. She is Indon and will be coming to Sg at end Jan, about 2 months before I am due at beginning April. I hope to get her accustomed to my place first as well as get my MIL to train her esp in cooking. Also want her to undergo my confinement lady's training to take care of my baby. When I go back to work, my plan is to leave my baby with the maid at my MIL's house. My objective of the maid is to first take care of the baby, secondly to clean the house and lastly to cook. So when she goes to my MIL's house, I won't expect her to be helping in my MIL's household chores, lest she complains she is working 2 households.

calamari,
my next appt is on 3 dec. Yours will be earlier than me this time round. Did you get any report for the oscar scan?
My bro told us to use the playpen as a bed as cot is a bit redundant if you have a playpen.
Btw, during the last visit we were forced to use valet parking, cos someone just jumped queue and took an empty slot when my hb had waited quite some time for it. So irritating! When we collected the car, it smelt of cigarette cos I think the valet smoked.
Kea,
Wow so envious of you! Enjoy yourself!
Ladies,
Thanks for sharing about Dr Brown's bottles. Have heard of the brand before but forgotten about it until you brought it up again.

tsukushi: the Medela Advanced PIS is not light leh hahaha, dunno whether shipping costs will be very ex or not. You can try buying from the Cheong Choon Store I posted earlier? Cost $650
Yes, I got a report of the Oscar scan with 6 pics of the baby hehehe.
I heard from some friends that playpen can be quite warm and too deep for us to put our baby down to sleep. I also confused. Feel like buying a playpen to put in my MIL's house for baby to sleep then buy cot for my own place for baby to sleep in at night. Thinking of saving money buy buying those cot which can be converted to a junior bed, can sleep up to 6 years old or so.
Aiyo, how can the valet smoke in the car! He probably smoked already then go into the car, so inconsiderate! :\ Btw, my hubby said valet and parking yourself at TMC is no difference one leh. At the end, money is deducted from cash card one. TMC got a serious parking problem, and almost everytime I need the valet, so far only deduct from cash card leh...
