just to add on to TF's comment - if bb is not drinking 180ml or whatever the capacity of the storage bottle may be, it will be a waste if bb cannot completely finish the milk in 1 feed. Cos once thawed, it is recommended that the milk should be used up completely, and in any event, never re-chilled or re-frozen.

I am planning that i will bring some frozen milk to MIL house on day before i start work, and also 1 bottle of fresh milk (just pump out). Frozen milk to store in her freezer for emergency. Fresh milk to put in her fridge normal section to feed bb on the next day when i go to work.
Then pump milk during work, then bring milk back to MIL house to keep for next day consumption. Then bring bb back home, cos hb intend to bring bb back home everyday.
If not possible to bring bb back home everyday, then will have to bring milk to freeze in her fridge liao.
TF,
To defreeze milk, we have to transfer to normal section overnight right? can we just directly put in warmer?

Sori, i can't answer u cos never BF b4 leh, 1st time like u. See who can answer later on the defrosting BF.
Must the bottles/bag be totally dry to store milk? If some water due to washing is it ok?

TF, the bags cannot be reused. they are pre-sterilized. the bottles must be sterilized after each use, then dried completely before using.
Ellysia, I read that we should defreeze in the fridge. not sure if it is okay to do it in warmer cos even for normal frozen food, it is recommended to defrost in fridge and not left at room temp in case of bacteria.

Could it be due to lack of sugar? U muz listen to your body n see wat is lacking n mindful to consume so as to build your bp.
Yeah, gd in the sense we are in control. Not gd in the sense we do so much thinking n the work around. Almost every tour trip, i'm always the one tat plan the whole itinerary, tics, accomm, etc.. if F&E. Each time i ask hubby to do, he just say join package n settle. Aiyo. He always dun wnt me to go thru the trouble n will say as long as we can afford, nt expensive, pay. But i can't accept it one loh. Always remind myself to let go, else next time I suffer doing so many things. So if i wnt to do, i knw i mus nt complain n do willingly. keke

I take it everyday fr the bottle and at bimonthly interval will be the boiled ones.
Cactus
Ya F&E is gd. Can achieve alot more. I will always collect the itinerary fr travel to see the routes of the different packages and combine them to maximize the trip in as many days as possible in our own F&E. Then surf web for all the entrance tic px, accom, opening hours, etc.. to plan the route. But my hubby is better in geography n places, so i will consult him if worth to go those. So he will decide the big picture on the country to go, n must see spots, I will do the research behind. Maybe cos we dun stay tog so have to split work. He always promise me we will do tog if he stays wif me..so i still keeping tat HOPE up..hee. to see tat finally he sit on discussion table wif me, wh i tink he will lah.

bizznow, that's what my grandma told me. but I know bbs become very big during 3rd trimester.. maybe that's why your mom said stop when you reach 28 weeks? Or maybe it's another reason. I don't take ginseng cos it's a stimulant. Already inthe past, if I drink coffee, I can't sleep. I can only drink tea before lunch hour. if not, cannot sleep. coke also cannot drink in excessive amounts.
TF, we went to Paris. spent 2 beautiful weeks there! Plan to go Prague next. Just prague alone probably or else, prague and austra.

bizz/ cactus,
we are supposed to stop any chinese 'bu' when we are about a month before our EDD. Believe that those chinese 'bu' will stimulate blood flow. So, we might lost too much blood during delivery. And if too 'bu' will caused heaty as well. Tats why when almost EDD, preggie lady is advise to take coconut juice as it believe had cooling effect and as well as bb will comes out cleaner.
I try to boiled birdnest once forthnightly. But normally will boiled more, so that i can drink it for 2-3 days. Today just went to ZTP to replenish my stocks. They give me free 'pao sheng'

Yoz, Back from a LONG day of shopping. Went to Taka early in the morning at 10.30am.
Finally, bought stroller for BB. Bought the Aprica, still think that its lighter to be carried ard when dealing with BB alone.
Am still thinking abt getting the Britax Car Seat. Most likely will get the $199 design. I think that is still more worth it, since BB is not going to be traveling in it everyday, the most is only 2-3days a week only.
Tinyfeet bought your stroller?

Morning feifei..
Dan, Ellysia, Cactus,
I bought chocolate milk, soft toothbrush, oral B gum care toothpaste and made an appointment with the dentist last night. Guessed I still want to keep my teeth.. Hehe.
Oh ya, is it safe to visit the dentist in the 3rd trimester? Books often encourage preggy women to go for regular checkup during 2nd trimester.
Cactus,
I am aiming the ameda pump. I havent seen it anywhere. Heard that it is sold in Robinson and Mothercare. Most probably I will be ordering from Mumsfairy.
Re: Sterilising of pumps
How do we sterlise the pumps after use when we are in the office? Especially after expressing and intending to express again later in the day?

ZuEn,
Mumsfairy will had booth at BB festival, so you can go and take a look on the pump. Not too sure will they had special bundle on tat day or not...
Sterilising of pumps in office? Unless your office had the steriliser else normally BF mummy will sterilise at home. Maybe wait oth experience mummy told us how they do it at office for pumping more than once.

It wasnt raining in the West, but the floor was still wet. Same effect on me.. couldnt get out of bed. ;p
Oh, can we use the pump again later in the day to express milk again without having to clean/ sterilise after the 1st time use?
The bb festival is in expo huh? That's faaarrrrr from my place. Aiyo. Unless I can convince hb. Any idea when is the fair?

ZuEn,
The bb festival is on 21-23 March, which 21 is Good Friday. I'm thinking to go on Good Friday , but sure very crowded as is Public holiday.
If not mistaken, i heard my collegue, they will sterilise at home, bring to office and pump the 1st time before noon, then wash but din sterilise again for 2nd times use. I heard my company nursing room got sterilise but hvnt go to take a look.

ZuEn, my colleagues buy an extra set of funnels, pre-sterilized and kept in sterilized bags. They use a newly sterilized set for each pump. they sterlize them at home.
it's recommended to go to dentist regularly during pregnancy. Even my O&G doc encourages me to do it.
but I don't lah cos so far no prob with teeth or gums

roxy,
I was thinking if we cant reuse the ziplock bags, then wont it be so wasteful & not environmental friendly. But if we reuse, how to sterilise? Coz if we dont sterilise the bags, then we put in our sterilise bottles and pump, it defeat our purpose to do sterilising the pump initially.
Maybe can soak the bags with sterilise pills?

hi, just to share on sterilisng in office when u need to pump more than once. some colleagues just use hot water to rinse, while some use microwave steriliser. a few brands have this - avent, farlin, annaku. basically u just need to have a microwave in office then no problem. i bought annaku cos it's the cheapest, less than $20 plus if u can get at 20% discount sale even cheaper. i bought mine from john little the last time. it even comes with 2 bottles inside. hope this info helps.
