Lynn85,

Based on some mummies comment on the playmat, yes its value for money. And I think Alien (the seller) has already explained that this is not the same as the Mini Toons one.

For playmat, I didn't go to the first playgym, but yoga playmat should be ok lar...

For food, snackies are good since it is already pass lunch time.

I think the mummies also plan to chip in for food for every play gym too (correct me if I am wrong)

[edens_mummy]

[emmarae]

Think LSL said the 7 days is no pay leave...

 

[porkie]

can any mummies here advise me?

My BB kept crying for milk but when I gave him the bottle, he struggles and refused to drink.. and then kept crying again...
how how? Anyone experienced this before?

Thinking of bringing him to PD tomorrow cos already so late now... and he was alright this morning and afternoon..

 

[edens_mummy]

porkie

did he curl his legs up? maybe is colic??? try apply oil on this tummy?? massage....

 

[edens_mummy]

emma

ya..the 7days in NPL....jus heard on news.....only increase of childcare leave is benefit to us...we lugi ML, bonus.... =(

 

[porkie]

he didn't.. he stretch himself instead...

 

[barnzilla]

cutiebb
how come 7 days? my understanding of childcare leave before announcement was 2 days. after today's rally it has increased to total 6 days per year. this childcare leave is applicable for children below 7 yrs, if i'm not wrong.
anyway my hubby's co. HR has inform him that he's not entitled for any childcare leave if salary is more than $2K. only working mothers are entitled.

 

[edens_mummy]

u can try massage and apply oil on his tummy lo..my boy sometimes like that...i do this, he ok and feel v comfy

 

[lynn85]

Porkie,is his diaper wet?

 

[emmarae]

Porkie - Is baby sleepy?

 

[emmarae]

Jamie - From what I know it should be regardless of salary... not sure if companies are allowed to fix their own rules...

 

[juniorrain]

cutiebb
the bb bonus oso nt say how much more, juz say will b more.

 

[barnzilla]

emma
yeah i also think its the co. set their own rules

 

[juniorrain]

haizzzzzz lugi lugi lugi. so unfair how can they oni wan 2 encourage woman nt yet give birth 2 birth, then we mummies juz give birth no nd 2 take care meh

 

[luvlybb]

juniorrain, woah lugi so much ah....

jaime, ya the 7days is the no pay leave. Seems quite useless hor. Y above 2K cannot benefit? Like tt many ppl cannot liao lor...anyway now the 6days are shared between parents. In fact, is 3 for each so is 1 day more for each parent.

 

[porkie]

no leh.. not sleepy,,

i very helpless..
just realised my sister was having a sore throat .. not sure if BB caught it from her this morning

 

[emmarae]

Any mummies know your baby's foot size is how many inches? Trying to buy a slip-on shoe dunno if the chart they give me is accurate for the age...

 

[emmarae]

Porkie - how many hours since last feed? My boy has ever gone 6 hours w/o drinking b4... just refused to drink, cried when I tried to feed...but think he just wasn't hungry coz he seemed ok...

 

[calamari]

[simp]

Thanks mummies for being so supportive to vote for shevon. Din know so many of u use many accounts to vote. Interesting kekek

New bb bonus
I think sahm lugi most, i mean just quitted my job a yr ago and now miss so many incentives. Wow, it is really gd to encourage more women to give birth. On the othe rnote, i am sure the office stuff and some mgt dun like the idea but no choice kekek think national svc is more impt to procreate for our country kekeke. Hmm think dun know whether it is a bad choice for me to be a sahm mum than ftwm w such gd benefits. Hurray to spore govt!
