we just need to make some adjustment & really cut down on any luxury enjoyment.
dont feel bad abt sending your child to infant care, just shower them with love in another way. quality bonding time need not necessary mean spending the whole day, but how u spend the few hrs with them.

 

[cloudluv]

jamie, yah..me & hubby oso dont trust maid, if send to nanny oso 'bu fang xin', so temp ll b SAHM.

ant, so far not planing for part time..

 

[barnzilla]

ant

my #1 is 14mths only. will start her with some playgroup after my confinement, afterwhich to childcare.
your worries are not unfound but there are also alot of mummies out there who MIA for a couple of years to take care of their kids. i'm not too worried not able to get a job. i think there's plenty of jobs available & i'm not those ambitious kind, as long as its a decent job & can leave on the dot (no OT), i'm happy liao

 

[cloudluv]

Cutiebb,don feel tat, every 1 hv their own planing. sometime is no choice. after not working, hv to make adjustment tp cover e expenses..

 

[luvlybb]

[barnzilla]

cutiebb
i only hv abt 4 small milk bottles & i'm using those bb face towels as bibs for my newborn.

jenny
those small bottles can really last a long time. infact i still use them now for my 14mths ger. i use mainly at home for water consumption.
as bb grow older, yes u need to change to bigger bottles due to higher consumption of milk.

 

[luvlybb]

Woah Koori 10 bibs? tts alot!

Jamie, so newborns/infants we can just start off with small bottles

 

[ant1712]
