calamari,
Like what Babydust said, playpen will come with a bassinet so when you attach it, it won't be so deep. My friend recommended latex mattress which is more cooling. So far I have only heard of Babysafe brand. If you get a cot, take note of the 'gate', cos some can be pushed down quite easily so when bb gets older he may push it down himself and that's quite worrying.
Don't think the valet smoked in the car, but the car had a cigarette smell when we got in, had to full blast the aircon to drive out the smell. If you parked in the basement, I think it could be a bit more ex, cos it takes forever to collect your car.
Stephanie,
I saw the website but it says $5 for local shipping, how did you get $320? If you have colleagues to lombang the loot, it'll be so good! I don't have such lobang.

Hi Everyone,
I'm also having some problems on whether to get a maid or to send my baby to Infant Care!
Currently my first kid is in the infant care/ child care. i still can cope with one kid and housework when i got home from work...but now with number 2 coming along, i am not sure whether i can cope with looking after them and doing the housework and other things...stress now!

hi Geryl,
currently i am not working, staying at home, so most of the time i will go out to market, or playground in the evening time to exercise. I have observed that many maid just ignore children and let them play at the playground. They are always chit chatting with their friends or using mobile phone. Unless u are thinking hired a maid to do housework but u are the one who will taking care of ur children..this is my personal view la..

Hi Piggy Mummy,
i am a working mother and i'm afraid that i can't cope with looking after two kids after taking them back from the care centre and i got to see to all the housework...my hubby is that kind who will AUTOMATIC will help one. i must ask and call him to do one! sometimes i rather do it myself then keep asking him to do it! very tiring!
i've seen it myself too...they never pay full attention to the kids. if i hired one maid she will be alone at home with my baby...not sure what kind of maid i will get if i got one! so scared after hearing all those stories from friends and Media!

re: Maid
Geryl, piggy_mummy.. I've an elder boy age: 2yrs+ and I've let a nanny residing the same block as mine to take care of him (since he was 2mths old) while i'm working, gotten a part-time domestic helper during weekends for 4hrs to help out with the chores. With the 2nd child on the way, my husband and i still think infant care & maid is not our choice afterall, besides... we've let our nanny know and she's willing to take care of our 2nd child.

re: Nanny
my personal opinion, i wld not vouch the integrity of all nannies but to get one reliable one is also hard to find. Besides, our current nanny has gone thru series of 'tests' and proven she's reliable and truly loves kids.

Hi steph / stephanie Lim / calamari
Thanks for the feedback on maids.
Today I spoke to a friend who is a recent first-time mom - she has engaged a Myanmar maid! She says much better than Indonesians and Filipinas LOL So maybe that's another option!

Re: Babysafe latex mattress - do they have different sizes to fit different cots? This is new to me, any websites to check out?

I am in my 16th week. Just had a scan and my gynae said all clear so should be having a girl. But was hoping for a boy though...
Anyone of you heard of the Chinese Gender Prediction chart? Heard that it's really accurate.

Hi..
More on the topic of maids.. Its true that Myanmar maids are quite good. Was talking to one of my colleagues who use to work in MOM - she said that they are cleaner than the Indonesians but not as havoc as the Filippina. I went to my aunty's place today to speak to her about maids and stuff.. realised that all is quite a matter of luck. Still undecided over the indonesian or filippina question leh! but i guess i shall keep my options open and decide then??
Joelle - yah, i guess if ur MIL is going to be the one supervising the maid, their opinions would count
learning how to speak Bahasa would help a great deal but i do know of some maids, especially those ex-singaporean ones who can speak quite okie english.
I am also keen on getting the Medala PIS.. my aunty is going to the States at the end of the year so might get her to help me get it. But do u all know where can find? i.e. general departmental stores?

cheesycake,
That's fast of you! My bro wants to buy the playpen, so I don't know if it will come along with the mattress. If not, don't know what's the size too.
Stephanie,
Saw the listed price on the site is already 320USD. Are you looking at the Medela PIS Advanced pump? If it's 320USD incl shipping, it's cheap! Calamari got it for S$650 or around there.

cheesycake, wat is your impression of TMC when u visit your mom? I prefer TMC cos its newer, Mt A seems intimidating and "cold"?
gals, do you gals think its necessary to buy disposable breast milk storage bags? I am thinking of buying and using it for storage of expressed breast milk esp if i start working. What are your thots? Any mummies can share more? If yes, how many should I buy?

tsukushi: oic... u intend to get the mattress als? oh, u mean my tummy look like having boy? some said gal... i dunno also. today will know liao.
jaspire: yes the hospital is newer than MT A. the food there my mum said nice but service so so. during my mum 2nd day stay there, she was forced to remove her hospital attire and change back to her own clothing. i feel like making a feedback to the hospital today when im going there for detail scan today.
i was there 2days with my mum, i observe the nurses there. they very rude to each other in front of the customer which i think not so nice. they were complaining ' i was bz lah how come patient press bell no one help". they were not prompt in asking the bell, take their own sweet time. they were also talking very loudly in front of us... i also heard from my mum, during midnight, there this lady who pressed the bell for several times no one attended her. she tot her bell spoiled. then my mum tried hers also no one response. so my mum went out to the counter to ask for help loh. How can make patient walk here and there. Somemore that lady is bleeding non stop loh. Today i might drop by MT A to see the rooms there. Will observe the service also

Xiang: its very important to choose the right hospital to deliver. but i must say the 1 beded room there is new and nice. with LCD tv and coffee lounge. i haven visit MT A 1 beded, so cant compare the rooms. i read the reviews MT A service is better. do consider...
